AgencyAnalytics vs dietr: at a glance
What is AgencyAnalytics?
AgencyAI got skills three weeks ago; everything since has been making them routine.
The cadence is weekly and heavily weighted toward AgencyAI. Skills landed in early August as named, runnable agency tasks; scheduling followed, so those tasks now run on their own. Around the assistant, the reporting surface keeps widening: advanced filtering on custom metrics and KPIs, client tags, a report shares view, and a MailerLite data source that brings email campaign metrics alongside every other channel.
What is dietr?
A fish diet package whose release history is really a record of surviving rfishbase.
dietr computes diet and trophic indices for fish from FishBase-style data, including electivity measures and composite indices. Its recent releases exist because upstream rfishbase changes repeatedly broke it — the latest pair restore functionality after a break severe enough to get the package removed from CRAN, while adding GII, MFI and Windell significance to the composite indices. The 1.1.6-1 patch restates the same notes as 1.1.6.

AgencyAI got skills three weeks ago; everything since has been making them routine.
◆ Current state
The cadence is weekly and heavily weighted toward AgencyAI. Skills landed in early August as named, runnable agency tasks; scheduling followed, so those tasks now run on their own. Around the assistant, the reporting surface keeps widening: advanced filtering on custom metrics and KPIs, client tags, a report shares view, and a MailerLite data source that brings email campaign metrics alongside every other channel.
◆ Where it's heading
The assistant is being moved from something an operator invokes to something that runs on a schedule against connected client data, which changes it from a feature into part of the reporting pipeline. The integration work continues at its usual pace and serves the same end — the more channels are connected, the more a scheduled skill has to reason over. Filtering and tagging are the plumbing that lets those tasks be scoped to the right accounts.
◆ Prediction
Expect scheduled skills to gain delivery — results pushed into reports or sent to clients — rather than staying inside the assistant panel.
dietr
0.0ANALYTICS
A fish diet package whose release history is really a record of surviving rfishbase.
◆ Current state
dietr computes diet and trophic indices for fish from FishBase-style data, including electivity measures and composite indices. Its recent releases exist because upstream rfishbase changes repeatedly broke it — the latest pair restore functionality after a break severe enough to get the package removed from CRAN, while adding GII, MFI and Windell significance to the composite indices. The 1.1.6-1 patch restates the same notes as 1.1.6.
◆ Where it's heading
Almost every release in this window names an upstream dependency as its cause: rfishbase updates in four of them, duckdb in another. The genuine methodological additions arrive bundled inside those repair releases rather than on their own. That is a fragile position for a package whose core value is convenient access to a remote database.
◆ Prediction
The next release most likely follows the next rfishbase change; new indices will probably continue to ride along with compatibility repairs.
