Vercel is building an AI Engine Optimization (AEO) system to track how Claude, GPT, Gemini, and other LLMs discover and reference Vercel's content. Unlike standard chat models, coding agents behave differently—they perform web searches in roughly 20% of prompts while running inside development environments with filesystem and shell access. This requires new measurement approaches that account for execution isolation and real-time development workflows.
