OpenAI Agents on Vercel: own the Queue and Sandbox hosting seam

UpdatedSeptember 14, 2026

On September 10, 2026, Vercel published a changelog for building with the OpenAI Agents API on Vercel. The split is blunt: OpenAI manages the agent loop and session state; Vercel hosts the application; each session connects to Vercel Sandbox for code and file work. Signed OpenAI webhooks plus Vercel Queues create or reconnect that Sandbox. You get an isolated environment per session, a persistent workspace across follow-ups, and scale-to-zero without an always-on worker.

This post is the Vercel hosting seam. It is not the harness ownership post, which covers what you still own when OpenAI hosts the Codex-style Agents API harness itself.

This is an excerpt. Read the full post at otf-kit.dev/blog/vercel-openai-agents-sandbox — full-stack kits your AI coding agent can actually ship to production. Browse the kits →
