What is Holistics?
Holistics keeps fencing in the AI layer it spent the summer building.
Holistics ships small, frequent notes - often one or two sentences - across three strands: AI features in Explore and Chat, as-code control of presentation through AML, and workspace hygiene like file history and dark mode. The August entries are entirely about the AI layer's edges rather than its capabilities: an AI user attribute for restricting what the assistant can reach, and now redaction of the data it is allowed to see. Bodies are frequently a single line, so scope has to be read from the headline and the release-note URL.
What is Kameleoon?
Kameleoon refines its prompt-driven personalization editor with widget, targeting, and PBX upgrades.
Kameleoon is iterating on the new Personalization editor and the prompt-based workflow that sits inside it. Recent changes: a simpler two-step widget event creation flow that ties directly to Kameleoon goals, the ability to reorder personalization targeting rules from the new editor, and PBX prompt-area improvements (resizable prompt area, image paste as input). Survey widgets get a configurable response-recording trigger.

Holistics
5.0ANALYTICS
Holistics keeps fencing in the AI layer it spent the summer building.
◆ Current state
Holistics ships small, frequent notes - often one or two sentences - across three strands: AI features in Explore and Chat, as-code control of presentation through AML, and workspace hygiene like file history and dark mode. The August entries are entirely about the AI layer's edges rather than its capabilities: an AI user attribute for restricting what the assistant can reach, and now redaction of the data it is allowed to see. Bodies are frequently a single line, so scope has to be read from the headline and the release-note URL.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI work has moved through a recognizable sequence: capability first with chart suggestions, then observability with AI Chat Insights for admins, then access control with an AI-specific user attribute, and now field-level redaction. Access control decides which rows the assistant can reach; redaction decides what it may see inside them - the same governance thread at finer grain. Alongside it, Holistics keeps pulling presentation into AML - custom charts, theme palettes, currency formats - so what analysts used to click is versioned as code.
◆ Prediction
With reach and visibility both now constrained, the remaining gap is accountability - logging what the assistant answered against which data - though the one-line release notes rarely signal scope far enough ahead to read the next step confidently.
Kameleoon
1.3ANALYTICS
Kameleoon refines its prompt-driven personalization editor with widget, targeting, and PBX upgrades.
◆ Current state
Kameleoon is iterating on the new Personalization editor and the prompt-based workflow that sits inside it. Recent changes: a simpler two-step widget event creation flow that ties directly to Kameleoon goals, the ability to reorder personalization targeting rules from the new editor, and PBX prompt-area improvements (resizable prompt area, image paste as input). Survey widgets get a configurable response-recording trigger.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is settling into the new editor as the default surface and accumulating the small ergonomics wins teams expect from a mature personalization tool — fewer clicks, fewer manual IDs, more control over evaluation order. The PBX prompt updates suggest AI-assisted variant creation is becoming a more prominent workflow, with multimodal input now supported.
◆ Prediction
Expect the editor's PBX surface to keep gaining capability — likely brand-context awareness, reusable prompts, and broader image-driven generation. Targeting and goal flows will continue to consolidate so users don't need to reach for IDs or admin pages.
