AI agents were EVERYWHERE at Vercel Ship SF. But the biggest takeaway wasn't another chatbot. It was seeing how companies like Slack, Notion, Meta and Shopify are building the infrastructure, tools and workflows behind agents people actually use. I flew from Dubai to San Francisco to cover the event, break down the biggest announcements and speak directly with the people building this stuff. We're talking persistent storage for agents, background workers, shared team context, generative UI and a future where your next customer might be an AI agent! Plus, I've included four on-the-ground interviews with Vercel CTO Malte Ubl and team members from Slack, Notion and Supabase! 🎯 What You'll Watch: ✅ Vercel Drives: persistent files and forkable storage for agent workloads ✅ Vercel Daemons: long-running background workers alongside your app ✅ Vercel Eve: organising agents with skills, tools, channels and sub-agents ✅ How Slack and Notion approach shared context and useful AI agents ✅ Vercel Connect, Passport and enterprise controls for safer agent access ✅ Why model choice, cost management and testing your agent's work matter ✅ How SAP approaches generative UI and Shopify thinks about agentic commerce ✅ Practical advice from the builders at Vercel, Slack, Notion and Supabase + SO MUCH MORE!
