- 2026-06-17 / thought-leaders-researcherGuillermo Rauch Unveils Vercel's 'Agent Stack' at Ship 26: Coding Agents Now Trigger Over Half of All DeploymentsAt Vercel Ship 26 in London on June 17, Rauch launched the Agent Stack (AI SDK, AI Gateway, Sandbox, Workflow SDK, Chat SDK) plus a new Vercel Connect and enterprise agent controls, repositioning the whole platform around running agents in production. The headline metric: coding-agent-triggered deployments jumped from under 3% to over 50% in six months, and AI Gateway token volume grew from ~2T to ~20T per month. The takeaway for builders is that 'deploy' is becoming an agent action, not a human one — infra is being re-architected around that assumption.
- 2026-06-14 / thought-leaders-researcherVercel CEO Guillermo Rauch Demos an AI-Built Shopify Storefront Clearing 500+ Orders in Two MinutesOn June 13 Rauch showcased a storefront built with Vercel's AI tooling processing 500+ orders in under two minutes, pitching the compressed 'dream → build → ship → sell' loop. The demo extends his thesis that smarter models let Vercel shrink the v0 harness and let design taste — not scaffolding — become the differentiator. For builders it's a concrete data point on how far the idea-to-revenue cycle has collapsed when commerce infra is generated rather than assembled.
- 2026-06-01 / thought-leaders-researcherGuillermo Rauch: 30% of Vercel Apps Now Deployed by AI Agents — ChatGPT Is Fastest-Growing Customer Acquisition ChannelVercel CEO Guillermo Rauch revealed that 30% of apps running on Vercel's platform are now deployed by AI agents rather than humans, with v0 growing to 3M users. ChatGPT has become Vercel's fastest-growing customer acquisition channel — users build apps in ChatGPT and deploy them to Vercel. ARR jumped from $100M (early 2024) to $340M run rate (Feb 2026). Rauch is signaling IPO readiness. This data point quantifies how agent-generated software is becoming a real deployment category, not just demos.
- 2026-05-16 / thought-leaders-researcherVercel v0 Hits 3 Million Users and 3,200 PRs Merged Per Day — Rauch Signals IPO ReadinessVercel CEO Guillermo Rauch disclosed that v0 has grown to 3 million users with 3,200 PRs merged daily, evolving from prototyping tool to complete development environment supporting full Git workflows. Vercel's ARR surged from $100M (early 2024) to $340M run rate (Feb 2026). Rauch explicitly signaled IPO readiness at HumanX conference, with the company last valued at $9.3B after a $300M Series F.
- 2026-05-10 / thought-leaders-researcherGuillermo Rauch: Vercel IPO-Ready at $340M ARR, Announces 'Time to Intelligence' AI SDK GatewayVercel CEO Guillermo Rauch signaled IPO readiness after ARR surged from $100M (early 2024) to $340M (Feb 2026), fueled by AI agents. He announced the AI SDK Gateway — letting developers swap models with a single string change, no API tokens needed — positioning Vercel's next frontier as 'time to intelligence' rather than 'time to deploy URL.'
- 2026-05-07 / thought-leaders-researcherGuillermo Rauch Launches Deepsec: Open-Source Agent-Powered Security Scanner for Large CodebasesVercel released Deepsec (npx deepsec), an open-source security harness that uses coding agents (Claude Opus, GPT) to find vulnerabilities in large codebases. It runs locally, scales to 1,000+ concurrent sandboxes, and uses a two-pass system: regex-based static analysis flags security-sensitive files, then AI agents trace data flows and verify findings to reduce false positives. Apache 2.0 licensed. Already has 2,200+ likes on the announcement tweet.
- 2026-05-07 / thought-leaders-researcherGuillermo Rauch Open-Sources 'Open Agents' — Reference Platform for Enterprise Coding Agent FactoriesVercel CEO Guillermo Rauch announced the open-sourcing of Open Agents, a forkable reference platform for building cloud coding agents. The project provides web UI, agent runtime, sandbox orchestration, and GitHub integration — the full stack companies like Stripe (Minions), Ramp (Inspect), Spotify (Honk), and Block (Goose) have been building internally. Rauch argues 'the moat of software companies will shift from the code they wrote to the means of production of that code.'
- 2026-05-03 / thought-leaders-researcherVercel CEO Rauch Signals IPO Readiness: $340M ARR, v0 Ships 3,200 PRs Merged Per DayVercel CEO Guillermo Rauch told the HumanX conference that Vercel's ARR has grown to $340M (from $100M in early 2024) and v0 now enables 3,200 PRs merged per day. Rauch emphasized that 'only tens of millions of people could deploy' before, but 'now everybody in the world can create an app.' Vercel is eyeing a public listing after its $9.3B Series F valuation, though Rauch gave no specific timeline. The company also built skills.sh — a viral marketplace with 34,000+ community-submitted skills — using v0.
- 2026-04-28 / thought-leaders-researcherGuillermo Rauch Discloses Vercel Breach Details: Employee Compromised via AI Platform Customer Context.aiVercel CEO Guillermo Rauch published a direct-to-community update on X detailing the breach investigation, confirming an employee was compromised through Context.ai — an AI platform they used. The disclosure is notable for its transparency: Rauch identified the exact vector (OAuth token chain from Context.ai to Google Workspace to Vercel internal systems) and named the forensics partner (Google Mandiant). This comes weeks after signaling IPO readiness at $340M ARR.
- 2026-04-24 / thought-leaders-researcherVercel CEO Signals IPO Readiness: ARR Hit $340M as 30% of Hosted Apps Now Built by AI AgentsGuillermo Rauch disclosed that Vercel's ARR surged from $100M in early 2024 to $340M by February 2026, with 30% of apps on the platform now created by AI agents rather than humans. Rauch is signaling public market readiness, betting that as AI agents become the primary app builders, Vercel becomes the default deployment target. The stat that nearly a third of hosted apps are agent-built is the strongest quantitative signal yet that vibe-coded software is reaching production scale.
- 2026-04-14 / thought-leaders-researcherGuillermo Rauch Signals Vercel IPO Readiness: $340M ARR, v0 Hits 3M Users, ChatGPT as Top Acquisition ChannelVercel CEO Guillermo Rauch told HumanX conference the company is 'ready and getting more ready' for an IPO, with ARR rocketing from $100M (early 2024) to $340M run rate (February 2026). v0 has grown to 3 million users, and Rauch revealed ChatGPT has become their fastest-growing customer acquisition channel — users ask ChatGPT for help building apps and get pointed to v0. Last valued at $9.3B after a $300M Series F led by Accel.
- 2026-04-13 / thought-leaders-researcherVercel AI Accelerator Demo Day April 16 — $100K+ in Prizes, Rauch KeynotingVercel's 2026 AI Accelerator cohort will present at Demo Day on April 16 in San Francisco, with over $100K in credits and prizes for three winning teams. CEO Guillermo Rauch will keynote alongside Paper CEO Stephen Haney. The accelerator reflects Vercel's deepening bet on AI-native development after v0 hit 3 million users and 3,200 PRs merged per day — positioning the company as the deployment platform for the next generation of AI-built applications.
