Overview
Vercel is an American company founded in 2015 that operates a deployment platform for web applications and maintains Next.js, the React framework used by a very large share of professionally built websites. Its commercial position rests on that combination: the framework is free and enormously popular, and the platform is where its features work with no configuration, which converts open source adoption into hosting revenue. Headquartered in San Francisco and valued in the billions, it has extended into edge compute, observability and an artificial intelligence software development kit widely used to build model-powered applications.

A generative tool that produces working interface code from prompts and designs. It creates applications that naturally deploy to the company's own platform, which makes it a distribution channel as much as a product.

AI SDK
A toolkit for building model-powered features into web applications. It became widely used because it standardised streaming and tool calling across model providers that each implemented them differently.

Edge Functions
Serverless compute running at network locations physically close to users. It handles the personalisation and routing logic that would otherwise force a round trip to a distant origin server on every single request.
