## New AI Crawl Control Overview tab

Dec 18, 2025 

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

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
