Vercel adds a path for deploying OpenAI Agents API apps

Vercel published support on September 10, 2026 for building on the OpenAI Agents API, using Next.js, Functions, Queues and Vercel Sandbox together. OpenAI manages the agent loop and session state, while Sandbox runs the code the agent produces.

Why it matters

The loop and the session state are the parts teams usually rebuild badly. Letting the provider hold them, and keeping only execution on your own infrastructure, is a smaller thing to own than a full agent runtime.

Who should care

What you can do

If you have a hand-rolled agent loop with its own session store, compare it against the managed version before adding more to it.
