Back to Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch on Building the Internet for Agents, with Guillermo Rauch.

How Many Vercel Deployments Now Come From Agents?

Guillermo Rauch says Vercel started the year with 3% of deployments coming from coding agents. Now 60% are agentic.

He calls the figure a wild stat. At the start of the year, coding agents accounted for 3% of deployments on Vercel. The agentic share is now 60%. Rauch says more and more of the software of the world is robots telling other robots what to do. He also describes robots that take in English and get out code for other robots to run.

The move from 3% to 60% happened inside the same year. On Vercel, a majority of deployments now come from agents, with English going in and code coming out for another robot to run.
