What is Deepnote?

Deepnote's agent now runs from first prompt to finished notebook without handoffs.

Deepnote's most recent entry, in October, makes Deepnote Agent a single agent that keeps context from the first instruction to the finished notebook, and lets private and shared projects sit in the same folder. It builds on June's native Codex connection to a workspace's notebooks, schedules and data, and July's MCP tools that let agents create and attach integrations. Spring releases added run snapshots, Git sync, Polars support, PDF export and AI usage metering.

What is GoAccess?

GoAccess 1.12 splits AI crawlers from search bots in web log reports.

GoAccess is a mature open-source web log analyzer with a terminal UI and self-contained HTML reports. After 1.11's parsing and memory gains in July, 1.12 on September 16 adds a dedicated AI Crawlers category separating AI assistants and training bots from search crawlers, a Fediverse category, a live requests-per-second rate and an option to exclude traffic by ASN. It also refuses database restores whose grouping settings no longer match.

Deepnote vs GoAccess: editorial side-by-side

ANALYTICS
2.5

Deepnote's agent now runs from first prompt to finished notebook without handoffs.

◆ Current state

Deepnote's most recent entry, in October, makes Deepnote Agent a single agent that keeps context from the first instruction to the finished notebook, and lets private and shared projects sit in the same folder. It builds on June's native Codex connection to a workspace's notebooks, schedules and data, and July's MCP tools that let agents create and attach integrations. Spring releases added run snapshots, Git sync, Polars support, PDF export and AI usage metering.

◆ Where it's heading

The notebook is being repositioned as a workspace agents operate in, both Deepnote's own agent and external ones like Codex. Releases have slowed from monthly in spring to one entry each in July and October.

◆ Prediction

Further agent capabilities or more external agent connections are the likeliest next move; the slower cadence makes timing hard to read.

0.0

GoAccess 1.12 splits AI crawlers from search bots in web log reports.

◆ Current state

GoAccess is a mature open-source web log analyzer with a terminal UI and self-contained HTML reports. After 1.11's parsing and memory gains in July, 1.12 on September 16 adds a dedicated AI Crawlers category separating AI assistants and training bots from search crawlers, a Fediverse category, a live requests-per-second rate and an option to exclude traffic by ASN. It also refuses database restores whose grouping settings no longer match.

◆ Where it's heading

GoAccess is adapting its traffic classification to how sites are now crawled, with AI bots and Fediverse servers as distinct sources. Releases continue on a roughly two-to-five-month cycle.

◆ Prediction

Expect more bot classification and filtering options in the next release; timing is unclear.
