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.
Fairing extends beyond on-site surveys into delivery, analytics, and integrations.
Fairing's recent releases spread across three areas: new survey delivery (a hosted, branded landing page and email sends), analytics depth (period-over-period comparisons), and integration hygiene (Klaviyo OAuth, API filtering, upcoming rate limits). The core post-purchase survey product is being extended outward toward reporting and distribution.

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.
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.
Expect scheduled skills to gain delivery — results pushed into reports or sent to clients — rather than staying inside the assistant panel.

The core post-purchase survey product is being extended outward toward reporting and distribution.
The direction is from a single on-site survey widget toward a fuller attribution-and-feedback platform: more ways to deliver surveys, richer in-app analytics, and tighter ties to the ecommerce and marketing stack. API governance (rate limits, OAuth) signals a maturing platform with real third-party consumers.
Expect more delivery surfaces and analytics comparisons, plus deeper destination integrations that push Fairing response data into tools teams already use.
