# Vercel Firewall templates for AI and bad bots are outdated and need updates

Hello,

Wanted to use the templates from here

[https://vercel.com/templates/vercel-firewall/block-ai-bots-firewall-rule](https://vercel.com/templates/vercel-firewall/block-ai-bots-firewall-rule)

and

[https://vercel.com/templates/vercel-firewall/block-bad-bots-firewall-rule](https://vercel.com/templates/vercel-firewall/block-bad-bots-firewall-rule)

But I’ve notices that they’re outdated (1+ year old) by looking in their coresponding repo here:

[https://github.com/vercel/firewall-templates/tree/main/ai-bots-firewall-rule](https://github.com/vercel/firewall-templates/tree/main/ai-bots-firewall-rule)

and

[https://github.com/vercel/firewall-templates/tree/main/bad-bot-firewall-rule](https://github.com/vercel/firewall-templates/tree/main/bad-bot-firewall-rule)

Can you please update those rules with more up to date bots? I believe some “changes” happened on the internet in the past year.

Thank you,

Sebastian
