What is Feedly?

Feedly has become a threat-intel platform where AI agents, not feeds, do the reading.

Feedly now ships on a two-week cadence almost entirely against its Threat Intelligence product. The surface is a family of AI agents — Custom Intel Agents, Cyberattack Agent, Vulnerability Agent, plus tuned models for insider threats and threat-actor campaigns — wrapped in Insight Cards that carry CVE, IoC and detection-rule context. Report Builder and newsletters are the output layer; the RSS reader heritage barely appears in the changelog anymore.

What is Neo4j?

Neo4j's Virtual Graph lets you run Cypher against Snowflake and BigQuery without moving any data.

Neo4j is expanding Aura's geographic reach (AWS London and Montreal this week) while pushing two substantial capability betas: Virtual Graph — a zero-copy bridge that translates Cypher to SQL against BigQuery, Databricks, and Snowflake — and Multiple Databases in a single instance. The August release also shipped native UUID types in Cypher 25 and ABAC for fine-grained access control.

5.0

Feedly has become a threat-intel platform where AI agents, not feeds, do the reading.

◆ Current state

Feedly now ships on a two-week cadence almost entirely against its Threat Intelligence product. The surface is a family of AI agents — Custom Intel Agents, Cyberattack Agent, Vulnerability Agent, plus tuned models for insider threats and threat-actor campaigns — wrapped in Insight Cards that carry CVE, IoC and detection-rule context. Report Builder and newsletters are the output layer; the RSS reader heritage barely appears in the changelog anymore.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run through every release. First, agents are being fleshed out into complete workflow objects: they gained Ask AI Analyze and Research actions, then table controls, then alerting. Second, Feedly is closing the trust gap that AI-generated intel opens — MITRE ATT&CK tagging accuracy, exploit confidence and evidence on CVE cards, and Report Builder citations that resolve to the source passage. The integrations (Censys, GreyNoise, VirusTotal, Analyst1, SPL alongside KQL) point at fitting into SOC tooling rather than replacing it.

◆ Prediction

Expect the alerting added to Custom Intel Agents to spread to the other agents, and continued query-language and enrichment coverage aimed at existing SIEM workflows. Whether the Ask AI Research Playground becomes a real self-serve entry point or stays an evaluation demo is not readable from these entries.

Neo4j's Virtual Graph lets you run Cypher against Snowflake and BigQuery without moving any data.

◆ Current state

Neo4j is expanding Aura's geographic reach (AWS London and Montreal this week) while pushing two substantial capability betas: Virtual Graph — a zero-copy bridge that translates Cypher to SQL against BigQuery, Databricks, and Snowflake — and Multiple Databases in a single instance. The August release also shipped native UUID types in Cypher 25 and ABAC for fine-grained access control.

◆ Where it's heading

Neo4j is positioning itself as the graph layer on top of existing data warehouses rather than a replacement for them. Virtual Graph and ABAC together signal a push into enterprise data architectures where teams have data in Snowflake or BigQuery and want graph traversal without ETL. The multiple-databases GA (coming in months per the release) reinforces that Aura is targeting organizations running multiple isolated tenants on a single cluster.

◆ Prediction

Virtual Graph will likely exit preview with paid pricing attached once the query-pushdown behavior stabilizes; the next move is probably native support for LLM embedding pipelines that stay in Aura without exporting data to a warehouse.
