Every eve session already runs as a durable workflow on the [Workflow SDK](https://workflow-sdk.dev) and its Worlds, the same foundation as the other harnesses in these guides. A crash, a function timeout, or a redeploy resumes the session from its last completed step. ## Related pages > **For AI agents:** Follow these links to understand how this page connects to the rest of the Vercel ecosystem.

To learn how durability works, see [Running Agent Harnesses Durably](/docs/agent-harnesses). ## Get started - ### Create an agent The eve CLI scaffolds a new agent project, installs its dependencies, and opens the terminal UI: ```bash npx eve@latest init my-agent ``` To add eve to an existing app, follow the [eve framework guide](/docs/frameworks/agents/eve#create-an-agent). - ### Deploy Configure [authentication](/docs/frameworks/agents/eve#configure-who-can-call-the-agent) for your callers, then deploy to Production from the new project: ```bash cd my-agent npx eve deploy ``` See [Deploying eve to Vercel](/docs/frameworks/agents/eve#deploy-to-vercel) for project linking, credentials, and deployment checks. ## Offload work to a daemon For tools that need system binaries or CPU-heavy processing, publish a job to [Vercel Queues](/docs/queues) and let a [Vercel Daemon](/docs/daemons) process it. The eve session can wait without holding compute until the worker returns the result through the session API. eve manages session durability; make the worker's jobs safe to retry. Follow [Use Vercel Daemons with eve agents](/kb/guide/vercel-daemons-eve-agents) for the implementation. For agents, tools, channels, and everything else, see the [eve documentation](https://eve.dev/docs) and [eve on Vercel](/docs/frameworks/agents/eve). --- [View full sitemap](/docs/sitemap) If you encounter incorrect information, can’t find what you need, need a capability Vercel doesn’t currently offer, or have any other feedback to report, please do it by following the instructions at https://vercel.com/feedback.md.
