What is Deepnote?
Deepnote turns the notebook into shared context for AI coding agents
Deepnote has spent the year hardening the fundamentals of a collaborative notebook — Git sync, run snapshots, Polars, multi-format interop, AI cost visibility — and is now opening that accumulated workspace context to external agents. The June move wiring Codex directly into the workspace signals where the bet is going.
What is Plausible?
Plausible pushes past simple counts into path analysis and AI-referral tracking
Plausible has spent recent releases moving beyond pageview tallies toward behavioral depth: User Journeys, strict-order funnels, and full-URL breakdowns in Page reports all extend how granularly users can trace traffic. Alongside that, it added a dedicated AI Assistants channel that isolates referral traffic from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. The privacy-light positioning is intact while the feature surface widens into the path-analysis territory long held by heavier tools.

Deepnote

Deepnote turns the notebook into shared context for AI coding agents
◆ Current state
Deepnote has spent the year hardening the fundamentals of a collaborative notebook — Git sync, run snapshots, Polars, multi-format interop, AI cost visibility — and is now opening that accumulated workspace context to external agents. The June move wiring Codex directly into the workspace signals where the bet is going.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform is positioning its notebooks, scheduled jobs, and integrations as the grounding context layer for AI exploration, while steadily closing the engineering-workflow gaps (Git, snapshots, reproducibility) that made notebooks hard to trust. Reproducibility plus agent-readable context is the combined thesis.
◆ Prediction
Expect deeper agent integration — more tools beyond Codex able to read and act on workspace context — alongside continued reproducibility and governance features like the AI usage metering already shipped.
Plausible
6.3ANALYTICS
Plausible pushes past simple counts into path analysis and AI-referral tracking
◆ Current state
Plausible has spent recent releases moving beyond pageview tallies toward behavioral depth: User Journeys, strict-order funnels, and full-URL breakdowns in Page reports all extend how granularly users can trace traffic. Alongside that, it added a dedicated AI Assistants channel that isolates referral traffic from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. The privacy-light positioning is intact while the feature surface widens into the path-analysis territory long held by heavier tools.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc points toward Plausible competing on analytical depth, not just simplicity. Funnels, journeys, and URL-level granularity are the building blocks of flow analysis, and the cadence here is consistent rather than one-off. The AI Assistants channel shows attention to where attribution is shifting as LLM referrals grow.
◆ Prediction
Given the journeys-plus-funnels pattern, the next move is likely further path-analysis refinement — deeper journey breakdowns or segmentation — and expanded AI-source detail building on the new channel.
