Open Agents is an open-source reference application and template for building cloud-hosted background coding agents on Vercel. It combines a Next.js web UI, a durable agent workflow runtime, and isolated sandbox VMs with GitHub integration so agents can go from prompt to committed code changes autonomously.

Use cases

  • build a cloud coding agent that opens PRs from chat prompts
  • run background AI agents that survive restarts and hibernation
  • fork a template for autonomous code-editing agents with sandboxed execution
  • deploy an agent platform with GitHub OAuth and repo cloning
  • stream agent progress and diffs to a web UI
  • run multi-step agent workflows with checkpointing and resume

When to choose

  • you want a forkable, production-grade starting point for cloud coding agents on Vercel
  • you need durable, resumable agent runs with isolated sandbox VMs and git integration
  • you want the agent control plane decoupled from the sandbox execution environment

When to avoid

  • you need a library or SDK to embed agents in an existing app rather than a full reference application
  • you want to self-host entirely outside Vercel's sandbox and workflow primitives
  • you need a simple local CLI coding agent without cloud infrastructure
