adam

eve is Vercel's durable AI agent runtime. Out of the box it runs as a long-lived Node server and persists its state through the Workflow SDK's "world" — Postgres + Redis locally, Vercel's managed queues in production.

adam ports the whole thing onto Convex. Not just the durable state — the execution engine itself. eve build is used as a compiler; the emitted server bundle is vendored into the Convex deployment and executed inside Convex "use node" actions. At runtime there is no eve server. One Convex deployment runs and stores everything:

• The agent runtime — eve's workflow handler + channel API, invoked in-process by Convex actions (runner/engine, chat:send)
• Workflow state — runs, steps, events, hooks (event-sourced, transactional)
• Message queue — leased jobs with retries, backoff, idempotency; delivery is driven by the Convex scheduler, with crons as a safety net
• Live streams — model/session output chunks written to Convex, decoded server-side and tailed reactively by the UI
• Schedules — eve's markdown schedules (heartbeat.md) mapped to Convex crons
• App data — the demo agent's "team notepad" tool writes ordinary Convex documents next to the workflow tables
• The dashboard itself — a Svelte 5 app served from Convex static hosting
