Vercel / Next.js

Your product site runs on Vercel. See the agents that reach it.

For SaaS teams on Vercel, the Inception Agents middleware detects AI agents at the edge and adds the trace beacon, in a pull request your team reviews before anything ships. Book a demo and we’ll set it up with you.

How it goes in

A pull request, not a black box.

The installer provisions your keys and opens the pull request. Your team reads a clean diff and merges it on its own schedule.

Vercel deploys it like any other change. Remove the middleware and the env vars, and your site reverts on the next deploy.
What the middleware adds

Two layers, one install.

The middleware wires detection and the trace beacon together, so agent visits and the people who arrive after them show up in your dashboard.

DETECT

Agent detection

AI traffic identified at the edge in under 5 ms. Human visitors pass through untouched.

TRACE

Trace beacon

One component in your layout records the people who arrive after researching with an AI assistant, and which assistant sent them.

Works with your stack

Drop-in for the Vercel + Next.js stack.

Next.js 14+ App Router

Runs at the Vercel edge. Next.js 13 Pages Router works through the same middleware — no shim required.

Zero impact on humans

Detection is local pattern matching: under 2 ms of overhead and no external calls for human traffic.

Fully reversible

Remove the middleware and the env vars; your site reverts to its default behavior on the next deploy.
