What is Displayr?
Displayr's Chat can now apply and write Rules, so it changes tables as well as explaining them.
Rules, Displayr's mechanism for customizing a table's appearance and data, now work through Chat: it applies existing rules and writes custom ones, and a rule can cover every table in a document, including new ones. Two smaller additions landed with it at the end of September: document duplication through the API and a shortcut from a control to its input. Summer work made Chat auditable, with a context pill, a change summary and an Explain This button, while the core gained shared controls and rolling averages.
What is Mode Analytics?
Mode resurfaces after almost five quiet months with per-user Snowflake sign-in
After the spreadsheet mode in April, this feed shows nothing until September, when Mode added OAuth and OAuth with PKCE for Snowflake. Each user now signs in with their own Snowflake credentials, including SSO, and queries run under that user's permissions. Earlier 2026 work still defines the product: spreadsheets with 70+ formulas beside SQL and Python, cross-source Data Mashup, and a refreshed SQL editor.

Displayr's Chat can now apply and write Rules, so it changes tables as well as explaining them.
◆ Current state
Rules, Displayr's mechanism for customizing a table's appearance and data, now work through Chat: it applies existing rules and writes custom ones, and a rule can cover every table in a document, including new ones. Two smaller additions landed with it at the end of September: document duplication through the API and a shortcut from a control to its input. Summer work made Chat auditable, with a context pill, a change summary and an Explain This button, while the core gained shared controls and rolling averages.
◆ Where it's heading
Chat is starting to do work that changes results, which tests the auditing features built over the summer. The other track stays steady, closing gaps a long-standing survey analysis platform accumulates. API document duplication hints at more automated reporting workflows, though it is a single endpoint so far.
◆ Prediction
Expect the change summary to extend to rules Chat writes, since a rule applied across a document is harder to inspect than a single edit. Folder-scoped defaults still look like the start of broader template governance.

Mode resurfaces after almost five quiet months with per-user Snowflake sign-in
◆ Current state
After the spreadsheet mode in April, this feed shows nothing until September, when Mode added OAuth and OAuth with PKCE for Snowflake. Each user now signs in with their own Snowflake credentials, including SSO, and queries run under that user's permissions. Earlier 2026 work still defines the product: spreadsheets with 70+ formulas beside SQL and Python, cross-source Data Mashup, and a refreshed SQL editor.
◆ Where it's heading
Mode's 'one workspace for SQL, Python and spreadsheets' position stands, but the pace on this feed has slowed sharply. The Snowflake change is a governance move, replacing a shared service account with warehouse-level permissions per user, which continues the earlier admin work. It adds no analyst-facing capability.
◆ Prediction
The single entry since April gives little to project from. OAuth for other warehouses would be the natural follow-up, but the feed does not confirm it.
