# Vercel AI integration

> Build AI-powered research agents with parallel browser sessions, deployable on Vercel.

[Vercel](https://www.vercel.com) is the leading platform to develop and deploy front-end applications.

With the [Vercel AI SDK](https://sdk.vercel.ai/docs/introduction) and [Stagehand](https://stagehand.dev), you can build AI-powered browser agents that run on Vercel's serverless infrastructure. Stagehand provides a high-level API for browser agents built on top of CDP, with AI-powered extraction and interaction capabilities.

Browserbase provides the cloud browser infrastructure that powers these agents — running headless browsers at scale without you managing infrastructure.

<Note>
  **Looking for native cloud functions?** [Functions](/platform/runtime/overview) provide a purpose-built solution for browser agents that can be invoked via API—no need to manage your own Vercel functions. Perfect for webhooks, scheduled tasks, and dedicated agent workflows.

## Research agent template

The [Browserbase x Next.js template](https://github.com/browserbase/browserbase-nextjs-template) is an AI-powered research agent that runs **parallel browser sessions** to search the web in real-time. It uses Stagehand + Browserbase for browser automation and the Vercel AI SDK with Claude for intelligent extraction and synthesis.

**Key features:**

* **Parallel Browser Sessions** — Multiple browsers run simultaneously, each researching a different source
* **Live Browser Views** — Watch AI agents navigate the web in real-time
* **Multi-Source Research** — Searches DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia, YouTube, Hacker News, and Google News
* **AI-Powered Extraction** — Uses Claude to intelligently extract relevant information from pages
* **Real-time Streaming** — Server-Sent Events deliver results as they're discovered
