What is Juuno?

The app catalogue keeps widening while the platform underneath it gets reworked

Juuno is a digital signage platform that ships one consolidated release note per month, and the August 2026 edition is catalogue growth plus plumbing. Three more screen apps arrive — Clock, While You Wait and WiFi QR — alongside major Media Library work and drag-and-drop uploads directly into playlists and configuration modals. The Yelp app, launched to beta only two months earlier, has been pulled while the team reworks it.

What is Sleeknote?

Sleeknote puts a data-grounded chat agent on a popup builder that had no AI surface at all.

Sleeknote builds on-site campaigns for e-commerce marketers — popups, teasers, and a family of gamified formats — and the visible history is steady builder work: a Rule.io connection with field mapping, teaser persistence rules, gradient styling, a winner-picking tool. In August it shipped Sidenote, a chat agent inside the dashboard that answers questions about campaign performance from the account's own data. That is the first AI surface anywhere in the twenty entries on record, and it arrived in beta. The same feed carries webinar and inspiration-page promotion alongside the product notes, so the posting rate runs well ahead of the shipping rate.

The app catalogue keeps widening while the platform underneath it gets reworked

◆ Current state

Juuno is a digital signage platform that ships one consolidated release note per month, and the August 2026 edition is catalogue growth plus plumbing. Three more screen apps arrive — Clock, While You Wait and WiFi QR — alongside major Media Library work and drag-and-drop uploads directly into playlists and configuration modals. The Yelp app, launched to beta only two months earlier, has been pulled while the team reworks it.

◆ Where it's heading

The arc through 2026 is a signage vendor building out a library of small, self-contained screen apps and then repeatedly returning to fix the surfaces that host them — playlists, scenes, schedules and the media library. Commercially the direction is already set: Screen Analytics went out free in beta in March explicitly destined for a paid tier, and the Growth plan shipped in July. August adds no pricing news and instead spends its length on app configuration consistency and a long list of playback and layout fixes.

◆ Prediction

Expect the Yelp app to return from its pause and more single-purpose screen apps to follow the Clock and WiFi QR pattern. Whether Screen Analytics moves behind the Growth plan is the open question these notes do not answer.

Sleeknote puts a data-grounded chat agent on a popup builder that had no AI surface at all.

◆ Current state

Sleeknote builds on-site campaigns for e-commerce marketers — popups, teasers, and a family of gamified formats — and the visible history is steady builder work: a Rule.io connection with field mapping, teaser persistence rules, gradient styling, a winner-picking tool. In August it shipped Sidenote, a chat agent inside the dashboard that answers questions about campaign performance from the account's own data. That is the first AI surface anywhere in the twenty entries on record, and it arrived in beta. The same feed carries webinar and inspiration-page promotion alongside the product notes, so the posting rate runs well ahead of the shipping rate.

◆ Where it's heading

Shipped changes land roughly monthly and each one removes a manual limit for a campaign operator rather than deepening the platform. Sidenote points the work at a different layer: instead of adding another campaign format, Sleeknote has started interpreting the results of the formats customers already run. The gamification arc — wheels, scratch cards, quizzes, and now lesson-based rewards — gives that agent a widening set of campaign types to reason about, and the seasonal content push suggests the holiday quarter is where the company expects both to be tested.

◆ Prediction

The clearest next move is Sidenote leaving beta with more prescriptive output — suggested campaign changes rather than answers to questions — timed to the November-December season the webinar and Seasonal Calendar page are both preparing for. Whether the agent eventually gets write access to campaigns or stays advisory is not something these entries settle.
