AgencyAnalytics vs vetiver: at a glance
What is AgencyAnalytics?
Reporting features now exist mainly to feed the AI layer sitting on top of them.
AgencyAnalytics is shipping steadily across two tracks. The visible one is reporting ergonomics for agencies managing many clients: regex and contains filtering on custom metrics, client tags applied in bulk, and a Shares tab exposing every way a report has been sent. The second, and the one the roadmap language keeps pointing at, is AgencyAI — which gained saved reusable Skills in August, while the client Data tab was consolidated in July explicitly to give those answers more context to draw on.
What is vetiver?
Posit's MLOps package went quiet for two years, then came back to keep up with recipes.
vetiver versions, deploys and monitors models: it pins a model, generates a plumber API around it, and writes the Dockerfile to run it. The visible release stream is bug fixes to plumber file generation, one prototype endpoint, and then a two-year gap between 0.2.5 in November 2023 and 0.2.6 in October 2025. The two releases since that gap are compatibility work — recipes' new input data prototype, support for probably, and all versions of xgboost.

Reporting features now exist mainly to feed the AI layer sitting on top of them.
◆ Current state
AgencyAnalytics is shipping steadily across two tracks. The visible one is reporting ergonomics for agencies managing many clients: regex and contains filtering on custom metrics, client tags applied in bulk, and a Shares tab exposing every way a report has been sent. The second, and the one the roadmap language keeps pointing at, is AgencyAI — which gained saved reusable Skills in August, while the client Data tab was consolidated in July explicitly to give those answers more context to draw on.
◆ Where it's heading
The company is converting a reporting tool into an analysis layer, and monetising the AI separately — AI Tracker went to open beta as a metered add-on at twenty-five dollars per 250 credits rather than as an included feature. Each structural change now gets justified by what it gives AgencyAI to work with, which suggests the reporting surface is being reorganised around the assistant rather than the other way round. Data-source maintenance continues underneath, including removing a Microsoft Ads metric the upstream API could not support accurately.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Data tab to keep absorbing client context types as promised, and further metered AI capability to follow AI Tracker out of beta on the same credit model.

0.0ANALYTICS
Posit's MLOps package went quiet for two years, then came back to keep up with recipes.
◆ Current state
vetiver versions, deploys and monitors models: it pins a model, generates a plumber API around it, and writes the Dockerfile to run it. The visible release stream is bug fixes to plumber file generation, one prototype endpoint, and then a two-year gap between 0.2.5 in November 2023 and 0.2.6 in October 2025. The two releases since that gap are compatibility work — recipes' new input data prototype, support for probably, and all versions of xgboost.
◆ Where it's heading
The feature era ended before this window opened. Deploying to SageMaker, generating Docker files, storing renv lockfiles in model metadata and supporting keras, luz and recipes all landed in 0.2.1 and 0.2.2; nothing since has extended what vetiver does. What it does now is track the rest of tidymodels — when recipes gains a prototype API or probably becomes something a workflow can contain, vetiver adds a line. That is a package holding its position rather than advancing it.
◆ Prediction
The entries do not support a confident prediction of new capability. On this pattern the next release tracks another tidymodels change, most likely the postprocessing stage that workflows added in 1.3.0.
