healthyR.ts vs Omni: at a glance
What is healthyR.ts?
healthyR.ts keeps adding time-series helpers, then quietly breaks the old ones to modernise them.
A time-series companion in the healthyverse family, shipping helper functions in batches: growth-rate vectors, an ADF test and auto_stationarize() in 0.2.11, then five log and differencing transforms in 0.3.0, and a random-walk plot in 0.3.2. Alongside the additions runs a steady stream of breaking cleanups — invisible returns dropped, R 4.1 required for the native pipe, and ts_ma_plot() refactored onto ggplot2 facets with its xts output removed and its return value cut from six items to two.
What is Omni?
Omni ships weekly, and almost every week the headline item is an AI feature.
Omni publishes a dated weekly digest whose body is a single line listing that week's items, so each entry compresses several releases into a sentence. Across the window the pattern is unmistakable: AI-powered semantic model generation reaching general availability, AI Routines creatable from chat and deliverable to Slack, AI model suggestion endpoints, AI credit controls scoped to embed entity groups and individual users, AI Evals on Azure, and MCP surfaces appearing both in-app and as a searchDashboards tool. The most recent week breaks that streak — default filters on composite topics, stopping a running dashboard query, full-screen preview editing — the first digest in two months led by conventional BI work.

healthyR.ts keeps adding time-series helpers, then quietly breaks the old ones to modernise them.
◆ Current state
A time-series companion in the healthyverse family, shipping helper functions in batches: growth-rate vectors, an ADF test and auto_stationarize() in 0.2.11, then five log and differencing transforms in 0.3.0, and a random-walk plot in 0.3.2. Alongside the additions runs a steady stream of breaking cleanups — invisible returns dropped, R 4.1 required for the native pipe, and ts_ma_plot() refactored onto ggplot2 facets with its xts output removed and its return value cut from six items to two.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads, both consistent. The functional one is coverage of the stationarity workflow — transform, test, auto-stationarize, plot — assembled function by function rather than as a single API. The structural one is convergence on ggplot2 and tidy conventions, retiring xts objects and multi-object return lists as it goes. The package is not afraid to break return shapes to get there, so upgrades are not drop-in.
◆ Prediction
Expect the remaining functions that still return xts objects or bundled lists to get the same ggplot2-only treatment, since ts_ma_plot() was refactored on exactly that rationale.
Omni
6.3ANALYTICS
Omni ships weekly, and almost every week the headline item is an AI feature.
◆ Current state
Omni publishes a dated weekly digest whose body is a single line listing that week's items, so each entry compresses several releases into a sentence. Across the window the pattern is unmistakable: AI-powered semantic model generation reaching general availability, AI Routines creatable from chat and deliverable to Slack, AI model suggestion endpoints, AI credit controls scoped to embed entity groups and individual users, AI Evals on Azure, and MCP surfaces appearing both in-app and as a searchDashboards tool. The most recent week breaks that streak — default filters on composite topics, stopping a running dashboard query, full-screen preview editing — the first digest in two months led by conventional BI work.
◆ Where it's heading
Two things have been happening in parallel and they are related. Omni pushed AI into the modelling layer rather than only the query layer, which is what semantic model generation reaching GA signified, then built the commercial and access controls those features require — credit limits per user and per embed entity group arrived within weeks of the capabilities that consume them. The MCP work points at a third direction, exposing Omni's content to external agents rather than only serving its own chat. The latest week's return to filters and query controls suggests the AI surface has reached the point where the surrounding product has to catch up to it.
◆ Prediction
With searchDashboards already shipped as an MCP tool, more of Omni's catalog is the obvious next thing to expose that way, and credit controls should keep extending to cover newer AI surfaces. Whether the non-AI week is a pause or a genuine rebalancing is not something one digest can settle.
