Using the Eve Agent Framework with Next.js
Most agent demos run in a notebook or a chat window and stop there. The moment an automation needs to survive a restart, retry a failed step, or run on a schedule without anyone watching, you need something more durable than a single request/response loop.
Eve is Vercel's filesystem-first framework for exactly that — durable sessions, tools, connections, and schedules built to keep running when nothing else is. In client work, I reach for it when an agent needs to persist state across steps, not just answer one prompt and disappear.
This post walks through where Eve fits alongside a Next.js app, what a session/tool/schedule setup looks like for a real workflow, and the tradeoffs versus rolling your own orchestration.
