What is Geckoboard?

Geckoboard is refining the dashboard itself — more filtering control and faster data.

Geckoboard's recent work targets the mechanics of building and reading dashboards: multi-value GA4 contains filters, cross-object HubSpot filtering, chart granularity decoupled from timespan, configurable week-start, and webhook-driven instant updates for Zendesk agent status. It also shipped a stacked column chart — its first entirely new visualization in years.

What is Deepnote?

Deepnote turns the notebook into shared context for AI coding agents

Deepnote has spent the year hardening the fundamentals of a collaborative notebook — Git sync, run snapshots, Polars, multi-format interop, AI cost visibility — and is now opening that accumulated workspace context to external agents. The June move wiring Codex directly into the workspace signals where the bet is going.

Geckoboard is refining the dashboard itself — more filtering control and faster data.

◆ Current state

Geckoboard's recent work targets the mechanics of building and reading dashboards: multi-value GA4 contains filters, cross-object HubSpot filtering, chart granularity decoupled from timespan, configurable week-start, and webhook-driven instant updates for Zendesk agent status. It also shipped a stacked column chart — its first entirely new visualization in years.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is steady refinement of the core dashboarding surface rather than expansion into new product areas. Most releases give analysts finer control over how existing metrics are filtered, bucketed, and refreshed — closing small gaps power users hit daily.

◆ Prediction

Expect more of the same: incremental filtering, visualization, and integration-freshness improvements. The single new chart type may signal appetite for more visualizations, but the entries don't confirm a broader push.

Deepnote turns the notebook into shared context for AI coding agents

◆ Current state

Deepnote has spent the year hardening the fundamentals of a collaborative notebook — Git sync, run snapshots, Polars, multi-format interop, AI cost visibility — and is now opening that accumulated workspace context to external agents. The June move wiring Codex directly into the workspace signals where the bet is going.

◆ Where it's heading

The platform is positioning its notebooks, scheduled jobs, and integrations as the grounding context layer for AI exploration, while steadily closing the engineering-workflow gaps (Git, snapshots, reproducibility) that made notebooks hard to trust. Reproducibility plus agent-readable context is the combined thesis.

◆ Prediction

Expect deeper agent integration — more tools beyond Codex able to read and act on workspace context — alongside continued reproducibility and governance features like the AI usage metering already shipped.
