Engineering & deploys

AI agents that ship to Vercel and check the result.

Connect Vercel with an access token and OpenHelm's agents can take work all the way to production. They deploy after a fix or a new post, check the deployment really went live rather than assuming it did, and set environment variables such as a GA4 measurement ID, then redeploy so the change takes effect.

What agents do with Vercel. Recurring jobs, checked every run.

  • Deploy after a change

    When an agent commits a fix or a new post, it triggers the deployment rather than leaving the change sitting in the repository.

  • Confirm it went live

    Follow the deployment to the end, then load the page itself. A failed build is reported as a failure, not written up as a success.

  • Wire in analytics

    After OpenHelm creates a GA4 property for a product, set the measurement ID as an environment variable on the product's project and redeploy so tracking starts.

  • Verify fixes in production

    The incident job checks the fix on the live deployment before resolving the Sentry issue, and leaves it open with a comment if the fix is not live yet.

Connect Vercel. A few minutes, once.

  1. Connect Vercel

    Add Vercel under Connections in the OpenHelm app and paste a scoped API key, or provision it programmatically with POST /v1/connections.

  2. Describe the job in plain English

    Tell OpenHelm what you want done and how often. It drafts a plan with a schedule, the tools it will use, and a clear definition of done.

  3. Approve the plan

    No job fires until you have reviewed the plan. Set the autonomy level to control whether writes execute directly or queue for your approval.

  4. It runs, self-checks and reports

    Runs execute in isolated cloud sandboxes on schedule. An independent evaluator scores each run against the goal, and results arrive as logs, emails or data-table rows.

Or provision it over the API (see the Connections API docs):

POST /v1/connections
curl https://api.openhelm.ai/v1/connections \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer oh_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "name": "Vercel", "type": "token", "secret": "<your Vercel API key>" }'
# The secret is write-only: stored encrypted, injected only at run time.

Questions

What does the Vercel token need access to?

The team that owns the product's project. Agents need to create deployments, read their status and manage environment variables. You can revoke the token in Vercel at any time.

How does OpenHelm connect to Vercel?

With a scoped API key: create one in Vercel, paste it into Connections in the OpenHelm app, or provision it programmatically with POST /v1/connections. The key is stored encrypted and injected only at run time inside an isolated sandbox, and you can rotate or delete it whenever you like.

Can the jobs run on a schedule without me?

Yes, that is the point. Jobs run once, on an interval, or on a cron expression. A scheduler fires them, a watchdog times out anything hung, and a separate evaluator checks each run actually advanced the goal. You approve the plan before anything runs for the first time.

Is my Vercel data safe?

Each run executes in an isolated cloud sandbox with scoped, revocable credentials and no middle-layer copy of your data. Every action is logged per run, results come back with evidence, and the agent never fabricates data it could not verify.
