Vercel Firewall introduces an AI Bots managed ruleset to log or block AI crawlers and AI assistants independently.
AI crawlers are defined as bots collecting content for indexing and model training, while AI assistants fetch pages in response to user actions or search queries.
Users can configure these rules via the Security > Firewall > Rules dashboard or using the Vercel CLI with vercel firewall diff and vercel firewall publish commands.
The ruleset is available on all plans, with Vercel updating the rules automatically as new bots are added.
