What is Plotly?
Plotly is turning its cloud into a metered compute platform with an enterprise on-ramp.
Plotly now ships on two tracks. Plotly Studio, the desktop AI app-builder, releases every one to two weeks and has spent v0.0.80 through v0.0.85 on credential handling, reasoning transparency and per-user personalization. Plotly Cloud is the louder track: since late May it has added viewer-seat pricing, domain verification, per-app compute modes with credit-metered billing, and customer-owned domains with managed TLS.
What is Feedly?
Feedly's reader roots recede as threat-intel agents take over the changelog
Feedly's changelog is now almost entirely a cyber threat intelligence product log. The last three months added models tuned for insider threats and threat actor campaigns, Suricata rule extraction, SPL queries alongside KQL, GreyNoise and VirusTotal enrichment, and a Vulnerability Agent. The August release extends Custom Intel Agents with Analyze and Research actions and adds a Censys lookup to IP cards.

7.5ANALYTICS
Plotly is turning its cloud into a metered compute platform with an enterprise on-ramp.
◆ Current state
Plotly now ships on two tracks. Plotly Studio, the desktop AI app-builder, releases every one to two weeks and has spent v0.0.80 through v0.0.85 on credential handling, reasoning transparency and per-user personalization. Plotly Cloud is the louder track: since late May it has added viewer-seat pricing, domain verification, per-app compute modes with credit-metered billing, and customer-owned domains with managed TLS.
◆ Where it's heading
The Cloud releases are assembling the standard pieces of a hosting business in order — identity first (domain verification, explicitly framed as the step before SSO), then billing (viewer seats, then metered compute credits), and now production-grade serving (custom domains, automatic certificate renewal). Studio is being hardened as the authoring front end that feeds it: Universal Deployment pushed beyond Dash apps, credentials saved once and reused, and a Winget channel to widen Windows installs. The two tracks converge on one funnel — author in Studio, deploy to Cloud, pay by compute consumed.
◆ Prediction
The Domain Verification entry names SSO as the next step and places it in the Enterprise tier, so single sign-on is the most likely Cloud release next. Studio should hold its one-to-two-week cadence, with the pending Winget approval landing inside the stated one-to-two-week window.

5.0ANALYTICS
Feedly's reader roots recede as threat-intel agents take over the changelog
◆ Current state
Feedly's changelog is now almost entirely a cyber threat intelligence product log. The last three months added models tuned for insider threats and threat actor campaigns, Suricata rule extraction, SPL queries alongside KQL, GreyNoise and VirusTotal enrichment, and a Vulnerability Agent. The August release extends Custom Intel Agents with Analyze and Research actions and adds a Censys lookup to IP cards.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc runs from retrieval toward analysis: earlier releases broadened what Feedly could collect, recent ones give analysts agents that reason over it and emit artifacts their existing tools accept. Report Builder citations that trace a claim to its source passage target the trust problem gating generated intelligence in a SOC. Coverage has become table stakes; the contest is over whether analysts accept the machine's conclusions.
◆ Prediction
Expect the agent surface to keep gaining verbs rather than new data sources, with more export formats aimed at the SIEM and detection tooling analysts already run.
