## AI overview

The article explains how the Next.js team improved support for AI coding agents. It describes the limitations of agents that cannot see browser runtime errors or internal Next.js state, the experimental Vector in-browser agent, its sunset, and the use of MCP to expose relevant application data to external agents.
