0.0

DebugBear is growing from performance testing into uptime, browser support and ad-impact data.

◆ Current state

Seven monthly digests show a tool widening on several fronts. August added uptime monitoring, Server Timing in lab and RUM, and URL-based conversion triggers. September added a Browsers tab showing which Baseline web features visitors' browsers support, CrUX Ad Insights metrics, and more custom dashboard work. Earlier months brought a bottleneck finder, HAR exports, custom dashboards and an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor.

◆ Where it's heading

DebugBear is moving from 'is my page fast' to a wider view of who visits and what slows them down: availability, browser capabilities, and now the cost of ads. Custom dashboards are the surface that ties those data sets together, and they get work almost every month.

◆ Prediction

Expect October's digest to add more RUM breakdowns or dashboard widgets built on the new browser and ad data, following the monthly pattern.

Whatagraph's IQ Agents now watch ad accounts and act on them, not just report.

◆ Current state

Whatagraph builds client reports for agencies and ships most weeks. In late October it launched IQ Agents, which watch marketing accounts on a schedule, report problems to Slack and act through MCP in Meta, Asana and HubSpot. Mid-October brought Excel attachments in report emails, six Ahrefs report types including AI citations, stored blends and ad creatives in tables.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is moving from showing what happened in ad accounts to acting on it. Earlier releases cut the manual work of keeping reports running; IQ Agents take on the monitoring and follow-up work itself. Source coverage keeps widening alongside, from OpenAI Ads to Ahrefs AI citations.

◆ Prediction

Expect IQ Agents to gain more platforms they can act in beyond Meta, Asana and HubSpot. The entries do not show agent pricing.
