What happened
Vercel's Andrew Qu explains how their agent framework 'eve' was built and argues that agents represent a fundamentally new software paradigm. The discussion covers skills, sandboxes, and the emerging importance of agent-readable websites.
Why it matters
For builders deploying on Vercel or working with AI agents, this signals a shift toward agent-native infrastructure where websites and apps need to be machine-readable, not just human-facing. Malaysian developers and SaaS founders building agent-powered products should consider how sandboxes and skill abstractions change deployment and UX patterns.
Discussion angle
What does 'agent-readable websites' mean practically — should Malaysian startups start exposing structured endpoints or metadata for agents alongside their normal UI, and how does this overlap with existing API design?
