## AI overview

Vercel expands Vercel Agent with a dashboard-based production investigation and response workflow. The agent can inspect logs, metrics, and deployments, answer project questions, review pull requests, diagnose cost increases and failed builds, and propose fixes. It is read-only by default, operates under its own identity, and requires approval before changing production or opening corrective changes.

## Source excerpt

Today we're expanding Vercel Agent. It started by triaging alerts and reviewing your pull requests. Now it has a home in your dashboard, where it can investigate production, answer questions about your projects, and take action once you approve it. Because Vercel Agent is built into the platform that deploys and runs your app, when something changes in production, it's your first responder. It autonomously investigates your logs, metrics, and deployments, finds the root cause, and proposes a fix, before you've opened your laptop. Vercel Agent works under its own identity and is read-only by default. You can reach it through the Vercel Dashboard, GitHub, and the CLI. What Vercel Agent does for you We've been running Vercel Agent on our production deployments for months. This is what a typical investigation looks like. A bad deploy ships at 11pm and the checkout endpoint starts throwing 500s. By the time the on-call engineer logs in, Vercel Agent has already traced the errors to the deploy that shipped four minutes earlier, and recommends an instant rollback. The engineer approves the plan. With permission, Vercel Agent rolls back to the previous production deployment and begins working on a PR to fix the endpoint. The time from alert to mitigated: less than three minutes. What you can do with Vercel Agent You can also direct Vercel Agent yourself. Hand it a task and it does the legwork, then either answers your question or hands you a fix to approve. It never changes production on its own. For example: Review a pull request. Tell it to look at a PR and it flags performance regressions and risky changes that a passing CI run won't show. Trace a cost increase. Ask why your bill jumped and it finds the culprit, like a code change that server-renders a page on every request instead of caching. With approval, it writes the fix and opens a PR. Fix a broken build. Point Vercel Agent at a failed deployment and it reads the logs, finds the failing config, asks permission to u
