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 Tinybird?
Tinybird builds out MCP tooling for LLM-driven data access while hardening its ingestion pipeline
Tinybird ships weekly changelog updates and is running two parallel workstreams: MCP tooling (a unified Endpoint call tool, configurable response formats, query plan inspection) to make its real-time data accessible to LLMs via tool-calling, and infrastructure reliability (on-demand compute for Copy Pipes, faster Materialized View deployments when joined tables change, remote file imports via API). The JSON data type becoming default in September removes the last opt-in friction for a widely used data pattern.

Feedly
5.0ANALYTICS
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.
Tinybird
5.0ANALYTICS
Tinybird builds out MCP tooling for LLM-driven data access while hardening its ingestion pipeline
◆ Current state
Tinybird ships weekly changelog updates and is running two parallel workstreams: MCP tooling (a unified Endpoint call tool, configurable response formats, query plan inspection) to make its real-time data accessible to LLMs via tool-calling, and infrastructure reliability (on-demand compute for Copy Pipes, faster Materialized View deployments when joined tables change, remote file imports via API). The JSON data type becoming default in September removes the last opt-in friction for a widely used data pattern.
◆ Where it's heading
Tinybird is methodically positioning its real-time analytics layer as an AI data backend, not just a developer analytics tool. The Forward CLI, MCP tools, and on-demand compute are converging toward a model where LLMs can query and ingest Tinybird data with low latency. The shift to make v1 ingestion the default reflects confidence in the new stack. Classic API migration pressure will increase as v1 handles more edge cases.
◆ Prediction
The next likely move is expanding MCP Endpoint support to cover write or ingest operations, and further differentiating paid plan capabilities beyond execution timeouts — the tiered timeout introduction suggests a broader plan-differentiation strategy is underway.
