What is FullStory?

FullStory's release feed is empty — no usable signal in the changelog stream.

The only captured entry is navigation chrome ('Follow us') with no release content. This means our scraper isn't finding FullStory's actual changelog or that releases aren't being published in a machine-readable form on the public surface we monitor.

What is Rootly?

Rootly is wiring an AI agent and enterprise controls into the incident-response core.

Rootly is an incident-response and on-call platform that has spent recent releases layering an AI agent, deeper integrations, and enterprise security onto its core workflow. The last two months pair a Slack-native AI scribe and commander with live service-catalog sync from Cortex and mobile device-management controls via Intune. The product is consolidating around running the whole incident from where responders already work.

FullStory's release feed is empty — no usable signal in the changelog stream.

◆ Current state

The only captured entry is navigation chrome ('Follow us') with no release content. This means our scraper isn't finding FullStory's actual changelog or that releases aren't being published in a machine-readable form on the public surface we monitor.

◆ Where it's heading

Trajectory cannot be assessed from the available data. The scraper either needs a different source URL or FullStory has shifted release communication elsewhere (in-product, customer portal, or blog-only).

◆ Prediction

Until a new source is wired in, no prediction is possible. Worth flagging this product for source-discovery work rather than commentary.

Rootly is wiring an AI agent and enterprise controls into the incident-response core.

◆ Current state

Rootly is an incident-response and on-call platform that has spent recent releases layering an AI agent, deeper integrations, and enterprise security onto its core workflow. The last two months pair a Slack-native AI scribe and commander with live service-catalog sync from Cortex and mobile device-management controls via Intune. The product is consolidating around running the whole incident from where responders already work.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is agent-assisted incident response with enterprise guardrails: an in-Slack AI agent, MCP over OAuth 2.0, and IDE plugins for Claude and Cursor all point at meeting responders inside their existing tools. In parallel the on-call surface keeps maturing, with global pay calculation, functionality-based paging, and SLA follow-ups. Rootly is widening from an incident tracker toward an operations layer spanning detection, response, and the back-office of running a rota.

◆ Prediction

Expect the Slack AI agent to gain more autonomous actions drawing on the Cortex catalog it now syncs, plus continued hardening of how agents authenticate and act.
