What is Dosu?

The OSS terms change takes effect today, under a steady drumbeat of agent-memory explainers.

Dosu's feed is currently doing two jobs. One is a sustained series on agent memory — representation and storage, the building blocks of a memory system, where knowledge should live — published as a webinar and then a blog write-up of the same material. The other is the announced change to its open source plan, which takes effect 1 September 2026 and which Dosu says leaves roughly 96% of projects unaffected. The actual product releases sit just outside this window, in the monthly Drop posts and the Decant launch that reads Claude Code and Codex session logs locally.

What is Steve AI?

Steve.ai's feed is all text-to-video content marketing — explainers and competitor comparisons, no product releases.

Steve.ai's stream is entirely blog content centered on text-to-video AI: category explainers, 'best tool' roundups, and competitor-comparison pieces (InVideo alternatives, best AI video generators, software for agencies). It's positioning and SEO content for the AI video category rather than a product changelog.

The OSS terms change takes effect today, under a steady drumbeat of agent-memory explainers.

◆ Current state

Dosu's feed is currently doing two jobs. One is a sustained series on agent memory — representation and storage, the building blocks of a memory system, where knowledge should live — published as a webinar and then a blog write-up of the same material. The other is the announced change to its open source plan, which takes effect 1 September 2026 and which Dosu says leaves roughly 96% of projects unaffected. The actual product releases sit just outside this window, in the monthly Drop posts and the Decant launch that reads Claude Code and Codex session logs locally.

◆ Where it's heading

The content is doing positioning work around the pricing boundary rather than filling time. The argument running through it — that a coding agent's budget goes to context rather than code, that most teams should start with Git as the memory substrate, that old agent logs are worth converting into maintained knowledge — all points at the same claim, that the durable asset is stored knowledge and Dosu is where it should live. The OSS terms change tests whether that argument stands on its own once the largest repositories are no longer free distribution.

◆ Prediction

Expect the September Drop to show how the new OSS terms landed in practice, and the memory series to close on a Dosu-shaped answer to where knowledge lives.

Steve.ai's feed is all text-to-video content marketing — explainers and competitor comparisons, no product releases.

◆ Current state

Steve.ai's stream is entirely blog content centered on text-to-video AI: category explainers, 'best tool' roundups, and competitor-comparison pieces (InVideo alternatives, best AI video generators, software for agencies). It's positioning and SEO content for the AI video category rather than a product changelog.

◆ Where it's heading

The content stakes out text-to-video as the core narrative and leans on comparison pieces to capture buyers evaluating alternatives — a category-ownership and competitive-displacement play. Forward-looking posts on real-time generation hint at where the company wants the category to go, but no shipped product change is visible in this feed.

◆ Prediction

Expect more comparison and category-defining content around text-to-video and real-time generation. Whether Steve.ai is shipping toward real-time generation itself isn't observable here — the feed shows messaging, not releases.
