Open Agents is an open-source tool that lets you build AI coding agents running on Vercel. It separates the agent logic from the sandbox environment, meaning the AI runs outside the virtual machine and controls it through commands like file edits and shell operations. This architecture gives you flexibility—the agent isn't tied to a single request, sandboxes can pause and resume independently, and you can swap AI models or sandbox implementations without rebuilding everything. You get chat-driven coding with file tools, durable multi-step execution, isolated sandboxes, GitHub integration for cloning and creating pull requests, and optional voice input. The benefit is a scalable, modular system you can fork and customize for your own background coding agent needs without managing your laptop.
