Give Your Agent a Computer — Nico Albanese, Vercel

The key insight from Vercel's internal agent work: giving an agent a file system didn't just add storage, it changed how the agent behaved. It started following through on long tasks, staying on track, and building on its own prior work. That's what this workshop builds toward. @nicoalbanese10 walks through AI SDK v6 from scratch: a tool loop agent, provider-executed web search, end-to-end type safety, and Vercel's new persistent named sandboxes. The agent gets a bash tool, a memories.md file it reads and writes, and instructions that make it generate Python scripts for repeatable tasks and store them for later. By the end, it's an agent that accumulates tools and context across sessions without any manual memory management.
