What is Ably?
Ably's AI Transport SDK graduates to Temporal orchestration and Vercel AI SDK v7 in the same release.
Ably is running two parallel development tracks: hardening LiveObjects (now stable in the Cocoa SDK with a path-based API) for collaborative and AI-state use cases, and expanding the AI Transport SDK to support durable agent orchestration via Temporal and compatibility with Vercel AI SDK v7. The JS SDK also resolved a long-standing WebSocket fallback gap for proxy-blocked networks.
What is All Quiet?
All Quiet adds least-privilege API keys and Salesforce sync, signaling a push into larger security-conscious teams.
All Quiet is building out the integrations and access controls that enterprise incident management buyers require. Recent releases add Jira field mapping with loop-safe two-way sync, Salesforce case synchronization, scoped API keys for least-privilege agent access, and webhook rate limit visibility. These aren't feature experiments—they're the specific gaps that block deals with larger engineering organizations.

Ably
6.3INFRA · APIS
Ably's AI Transport SDK graduates to Temporal orchestration and Vercel AI SDK v7 in the same release.
◆ Current state
Ably is running two parallel development tracks: hardening LiveObjects (now stable in the Cocoa SDK with a path-based API) for collaborative and AI-state use cases, and expanding the AI Transport SDK to support durable agent orchestration via Temporal and compatibility with Vercel AI SDK v7. The JS SDK also resolved a long-standing WebSocket fallback gap for proxy-blocked networks.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI Transport SDK is emerging as Ably's primary growth vector — each release adds a new agent framework integration (Temporal, Vercel AI, OpenAI Responses API) or a new agent control mechanism (mid-run steering, human approvals). LiveObjects is stable now and will likely see slower iteration as it shifts to a reliability rather than feature phase.
◆ Prediction
The next AI Transport release will probably add support for another major agent framework (likely LangChain or CrewAI) as Ably builds toward covering every major orchestration layer for real-time agent streaming.
All Quiet
7.5INFRA · APIS
All Quiet adds least-privilege API keys and Salesforce sync, signaling a push into larger security-conscious teams.
◆ Current state
All Quiet is building out the integrations and access controls that enterprise incident management buyers require. Recent releases add Jira field mapping with loop-safe two-way sync, Salesforce case synchronization, scoped API keys for least-privilege agent access, and webhook rate limit visibility. These aren't feature experiments—they're the specific gaps that block deals with larger engineering organizations.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern across these releases is integration depth and access control maturity. Scoped API keys (with 403 returns for out-of-scope calls) and the Salesforce two-way sync both target the compliance and auditability requirements of enterprise buyers. Status page controls (override incident times, publish/unpublish comments) address the public communication layer, distinct from internal incident workflows.
◆ Prediction
Role-based access controls and audit logging are the natural next steps after scoped API keys. The Salesforce integration will likely gain field mapping parity with the Jira integration—custom fields and status-filter controls—in subsequent releases.
