01 / How it works

One lifecycle, from first look to retirement

The same agent, version and permissions follow the work through every step, whether it started from a repository or from an idea.

Understand the project before proposing anything

Sample

Read the files you allow, without running the project's scripts. Every recommendation separates what the code shows from what we only suspect, and says what access it would need.

02 / Teams

Senior people lead. Agents do the legwork.

Four teams at Relay, a fictional company, each led by a person who owns the goal and the permissions. These are the demos the product is being built to pass.

  • Go to market

    Led by the VP of GTM

    A launch plan for 20 target accounts, with campaign drafts ready for review.

    • Segment analyst
    • Account researcher
    • Campaign planner
    • Enablement reviewer

    Sends nothing. Every outbound message stays a draft.

  • Engineering

    Led by the staff engineer

    A failing invitation flow repaired, tested and ready for review.

    • Diagnosis
    • Implementation
    • Tests
    • Instrumentation
    • Security

    No merges, no production secrets, no production deploys.

  • Design

    Led by the design director

    Two onboarding directions to critique, then one ready to build.

    • Research synthesis
    • Interaction
    • Systems
    • Prototyping
    • Accessibility review

    Shared design files change only with a grant.

  • Product marketing

    Led by the head of product marketing

    Positioning and claims other teams can reuse with confidence.

    • Insight analyst
    • Competitive research
    • Positioning
    • Claims audit
    • Enablement writing

    Unsupported claims are blocked. Nothing is published.

03 / Control

You stay in charge while the work runs

The product makes the consequential parts visible: who can do what, what was remembered, what it cost and what happens when you stop it.

  • Coworkers, not copies

    Adding a shared agent gives you access to the same one your team uses. Ten people asking for the same review get one review, and private chats stay private.

  • Approval for the exact action

    You approve a specific action on a specific target. If either changes, it asks again.

  • Memory with receipts

    See where each memory came from and who can use it. Correct it or forget it.

  • Cost on the record

    Estimated while it runs, reconciled after. Budget limits stop new work instead of quietly spending more.

  • Models you can swap

    Choose between model families through one gateway. Fallbacks stay inside the privacy rules you set, and every run shows the model that answered.

06 / Questions

Frequently asked

Is this a Vercel product?

No. Independent proposal; not affiliated with or endorsed by Vercel. It is a proposal for how a managed home for agents could work, built on public technology.

What is real and what is sample data?

Screens on this page use sample data for Relay, a fictional company, and are labeled. The changelog records what actually works in the deployed preview and what is still blocked.

Why is the name marked as a working name?

Managed Agents is a neutral placeholder until the product has a name of its own.

Which models does it use?

At least two model families through one gateway, chosen from the gateway's catalog when they are evaluated. Each run shows which model actually answered.

How do I follow progress?

The changelog has one entry per day of the build, with evidence and open blockers, and an RSS feed.
