What is June?
June's last visible push was a tight May 2025 B2B sprint — Custom Objects, SQL traits, PostHog integration.
June is product analytics for B2B SaaS, and the only visible release activity in the input is a concentrated four-week sprint in May 2025: SQL computed traits, PostHog as a data source, increased computed-trait limits, and the GA of Custom Objects after a two-month rollout. Each release is paired with small fixes (Slack alerts, HubSpot reverse sync) suggesting a stable maintenance cadence around the headline launches.
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 seven consecutive weeks 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 support on Azure, and MCP surfaces appearing both in-app and as a searchDashboards tool. The non-AI items are steady BI plumbing — OAuth and GitHub App authentication for dbt connections, mobile dashboard settings, map legend positioning, presentation mode.

June's last visible push was a tight May 2025 B2B sprint — Custom Objects, SQL traits, PostHog integration.
◆ Current state
June is product analytics for B2B SaaS, and the only visible release activity in the input is a concentrated four-week sprint in May 2025: SQL computed traits, PostHog as a data source, increased computed-trait limits, and the GA of Custom Objects after a two-month rollout. Each release is paired with small fixes (Slack alerts, HubSpot reverse sync) suggesting a stable maintenance cadence around the headline launches.
◆ Where it's heading
The May 2025 batch is internally consistent: every release widens what June can model (Custom Objects), how flexibly customers can compute on it (SQL traits), or how easily it slots into existing data plumbing (PostHog source). All three target the B2B-SaaS persona that wants more than user/account analytics. After this burst the changelog goes quiet in the input — it's not clear from the entries alone whether the product moved to a slower cadence, switched publishing channels, or paused.
◆ Prediction
The entries don't support a confident prediction about what comes next. If publishing resumes from the same direction, the obvious extensions are deeper integrations with reverse-ETL or warehouse-native sources and richer pre-built health-score templates on top of SQL computed traits.

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 seven consecutive weeks 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 support on Azure, and MCP surfaces appearing both in-app and as a searchDashboards tool. The non-AI items are steady BI plumbing — OAuth and GitHub App authentication for dbt connections, mobile dashboard settings, map legend positioning, presentation mode.
◆ Where it's heading
Two things are happening in parallel and they are related. Omni is pushing AI into the modelling layer rather than only the query layer, which is what semantic model generation reaching GA signifies — the artifact that normally takes an analytics engineer weeks is being generated. At the same time it is building the commercial and access controls that AI features require: credit limits per user and per embed entity group arrived within weeks of the AI 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.
◆ Prediction
Credit controls appearing so soon after the AI features suggests consumption limits will keep expanding to cover newer surfaces, and with searchDashboards shipped as an MCP tool, more of Omni's catalog is the obvious next thing to expose that way.
