AI Without Borders Ep. 18 | The Self-Driving Agentic Infrastructure with Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch

In this episode of AI Without Borders, we sit down with Guillermo Rauch, founder and CEO of Vercel. Guillermo shares how Vercel is evolving from a hosting platform into an intelligent, autonomous system that detects anomalies, proposes fixes, and increasingly heals itself. We dive into how AI agents already run parts of Vercel in production, why sandboxes will redefine compute, and what happens when billions of agents, not humans, begin writing, testing, and deploying software. Guillermo also explains why agent ergonomics will reshape developer tools, the rise of personal software, and how companies should rethink buy versus build in an AI native world. This episode is packed with insights on infrastructure, agents, generative UI, and the future of work.
