## New AI Crawl Control Overview tab

[AI Crawl Control](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-crawl-control/)

Copy as Markdown| [View as Markdown](https://developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/post/2025-12-18-overview-tab/index.md)| [Agent setup](https://developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

The **Overview** tab is now the default view in AI Crawl Control. The previous default view with controls for individual AI crawlers is available in the **Crawlers** tab.

#### What's new

- **Executive summary** — Monitor total requests, volume change, most common status code, most popular path, and high-volume activity
- **Operator grouping** — Track crawlers by their operating companies (OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, ByteDance, Anthropic, Meta)
- **Customizable filters** — Filter your snapshot by date range, crawler, operator, hostname, or path
