Axiom
Axiom is rebuilding observability so an AI agent, not a human, can be the first user.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of AgencyAnalytics and Tinybird — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
AgencyAnalytics is rebuilding itself around AgencyAI, and just gave it a reusable skill layer.
Reporting features are still shipping, with a Shares tab that consolidates every email, scheduled send, link, and PDF download per report. But the center of gravity has moved to AgencyAI. Skills now let agencies run premade prompts or save their own repeatable instructions and share them across the account, the client Data tab has been consolidated into the context substrate AgencyAI answers from, and AI Tracker sells AI search visibility as a metered add-on.
Tinybird is retiring Classic on a clock while stacking capability into Forward
Releases arrive weekly and the through-line is the migration from Classic to Forward. Classic is now scheduled for sunset on Free and Developer plans by September 15, following the BI Connector's end of life and the earlier migrate-to-forward CLI command. Forward is where capability accumulates: DynamoDB connectivity, PREWHERE, lightweight deletes in beta, arm64-native local runs and a ClickHouse bump from 25.3 to 25.8.

The pieces fit together as a deliberate platform build: consolidate client context in one place, then give the assistant reusable, team-shared procedures that run against it. That moves AgencyAI from a question box toward something agencies configure once and run repeatedly across a client portfolio. The two upstream deprecations in the window, Microsoft Ads Impression Share and the Meta Graph API v25 metric changes, are the maintenance cost of sitting on top of ad-platform APIs, and both were handled by removing untrustworthy data rather than estimating it.
With context centralized and skills shareable, scheduled or triggered skill runs are the natural next step, turning saved procedures into recurring portfolio monitoring. The entries hint at more client-context features in the Data tab but do not say what they are.

Two things are happening in parallel, retiring the old platform on a published schedule while making the new one worth the move. Ingestion is the current focus and it is moving quickly, with v1 going from experimental in the CLI to the default for local files inside two weeks, and integer preservation and quarantine persistence fixed around it. The updated agent skills mentioned alongside the CLI work suggest the tooling is being shaped for agents as well as people.
September 15 is the next fixed milestone, and paid tiers are the obvious follow-on though these entries stop short of committing to a date for them. Expect v1 ingestion to keep widening from local files into the remaining paths now that it is the default for one of them.
