Vercel Observability now offers AI traffic insights for bot requests, pages, and errors
Developers can now examine precisely how artificial intelligence bots interact with their web properties through Vercel Observability.
These new AI traffic insights offer granular detail, revealing several key metrics. You can see "Requests by verified AI bot," detailing the volume of requests originating from each specific bot.
Furthermore, the insights illuminate which pages are considered "Most-crawled pages," showing what AI crawlers target for tasks like indexing or model training.
The tool also tracks "Assistant retrievals," identifying pages that AI assistants pull when responding to user searches or actions.
Specific data points include "Markdown requests," tracking pages requested by AI bots in Markdown format, alongside a breakdown of any "Errors" encountered during bot requests.
To access this data within the Vercel environment, users simply navigate to Observability > AI Traffic in the Vercel dashboard.
For those preferring command-line interaction, agents and developers can query these metrics using `vercel metrics` within the Vercel CLI.
It is important to note that using the CLI for these queries necessitates an Observability Plus subscription.
Further details regarding this capability are available in the dedicated AI traffic documentation.
