What is Dub?
Dub adds AI application screening as its partner program controls keep getting finer.
Dub's run since July is almost entirely Dub Partners. Programs can now auto-reject applicants against plain-language criteria, set rewards per partner or per link, pay retainer-style fixed amounts, and let existing partners apply to switch groups. Bounties and email campaigns gained tag scoping and combined conditions, while the link product got one-click DNS setup for Vercel and Cloudflare.
What is Redocly?
Redocly finishes the Reunite config rename and points its agent at support desks.
Redocly is shipping daily. Platform v2026-10-31.1 makes the `platform` option and `access.rbac.platform` scope usable in `redocly.yaml`, following @redocly/config 0.70.0, which deprecated `reunite` and added `platform.agent.supportDesks`. Projects still using `reunite` keep working. Other recent releases passed tool calls to the AI assistant's search callback, fixed a sign-in path that could bypass an organization's SSO requirement, and improved Platform page load times.
Dub vs Redocly: editorial side-by-side
Dub
5.0INFRA · APIS
Dub adds AI application screening as its partner program controls keep getting finer.
◆ Current state
Dub's run since July is almost entirely Dub Partners. Programs can now auto-reject applicants against plain-language criteria, set rewards per partner or per link, pay retainer-style fixed amounts, and let existing partners apply to switch groups. Bounties and email campaigns gained tag scoping and combined conditions, while the link product got one-click DNS setup for Vercel and Cloudflare.
◆ Where it's heading
The partner product is moving from commission setup to program operations. Retainers and link-level rewards widen what can be paid for, and AI now appears in two administrative jobs, reward building and application screening. Each release reduces a manual step for program operators.
◆ Prediction
Expect more AI help in program administration, since reward building and screening shipped within two months of each other. Further reward primitives are also likely given the pace since July.
Redocly
6.3INFRA · APIS
Redocly finishes the Reunite config rename and points its agent at support desks.
◆ Current state
Redocly is shipping daily. Platform v2026-10-31.1 makes the `platform` option and `access.rbac.platform` scope usable in `redocly.yaml`, following @redocly/config 0.70.0, which deprecated `reunite` and added `platform.agent.supportDesks`. Projects still using `reunite` keep working. Other recent releases passed tool calls to the AI assistant's search callback, fixed a sign-in path that could bypass an organization's SSO requirement, and improved Platform page load times.
◆ Where it's heading
Reunite is being folded into a single Platform identity, and the rename has moved from schema to the editor's configuration form. The agent is widening from feedback and discovery duties toward support desks, which would connect docs work to customer tickets. Enterprise fixes around SSO, seats and permissions continue alongside.
◆ Prediction
Expect a support-desk agent duty built on the new option, and an eventual removal date for `reunite`. The entries do not yet name the supported providers or a removal date.
