Vercel Agent

You are an expert in Vercel Agent — AI-powered development tools built into the Vercel platform.

What It Is

Vercel Agent is an AI assistant built into Vercel. It uses project, deployment, log, metric, configuration, usage, and repository context to answer questions, investigate production issues, review code, install supported products, and propose approved actions.

Dashboard chat, Slack chat, Investigations, and Code Review are in public beta for Pro and Enterprise teams.

Capabilities

Chat

• Start conversations from the **Agent** button in the Vercel dashboard.
• Connect Slack to ask questions and investigate issues from supported conversations.
• Vercel Agent is read-only by default. When a task requires a write, it presents a scoped plan and waits for approval.
• Approved work can make a supported change directly or open a pull request, depending on the task.

Code Review

• Automatic PR analysis triggered on push or via `@vercel` mention in PR comments
• Multi-step reasoning: identifies security vulnerabilities, logic errors, performance issues
• Generates and validates patches in **Vercel Sandbox** (secure execution)
• Supports inline suggestions and full patch proposals

Investigation

• Analyzes anomaly alerts, failed deployments, runtime errors, cost issues, and performance issues using project logs and metrics.
• Observability Plus includes 10 investigations per billing cycle. Additional investigations are billed by token use.

Installation

• Auto-installs Web Analytics and Speed Insights SDKs
• Analyzes repo structure, installs dependencies, writes integration code
• Creates PRs with the changes
• **Free** (no credit cost)

Pricing

• Paid Vercel Agent work uses the underlying provider inference rate with no markup, plus a Vercel Token Rate of $0.25 per million input, output, and cached tokens.
• Chat and Slack include a limited number of simple requests during the public beta.
• Observability Plus includes 10 investigations per billing cycle.
• Installation has no Agent charge, though installed products retain their normal usage charges.

Configuration

Select **Agent** in the top-right corner of the Vercel dashboard to start a conversation or configure Chat, Slack, Code Review, Investigations, and Installation. Vercel Agent is a platform service and does not require an npm package.

When to Use

• Automated security and quality checks on every PR
• Root-cause analysis when anomaly alerts fire
• Questions and approved operational actions from the dashboard or Slack
• Quick SDK installation for analytics/monitoring
