What is Rootly?
Rootly is wiring an AI agent and enterprise controls into the incident-response core.
Rootly is an incident-response and on-call platform that has spent recent releases layering an AI agent, deeper integrations, and enterprise security onto its core workflow. The last two months pair a Slack-native AI scribe and commander with live service-catalog sync from Cortex and mobile device-management controls via Intune. The product is consolidating around running the whole incident from where responders already work.
What is ElevenLabs?
ElevenLabs widens from TTS into a full voice-agent and music platform
ElevenLabs is shipping on two fronts: new foundational capabilities, a Music v2 model with chunk-based composition and Speech Engine, which adds real-time voice to a developer's own agent or LLM, and a relentless cadence of ElevenAgents API work (Exotel telephony, workflow-aware transfers, new LLM options, SIP logs, knowledge-base editing) plus deprecations of v1 TTS/STT models and weekly SDK regenerations.

Rootly is wiring an AI agent and enterprise controls into the incident-response core.
◆ Current state
Rootly is an incident-response and on-call platform that has spent recent releases layering an AI agent, deeper integrations, and enterprise security onto its core workflow. The last two months pair a Slack-native AI scribe and commander with live service-catalog sync from Cortex and mobile device-management controls via Intune. The product is consolidating around running the whole incident from where responders already work.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is agent-assisted incident response with enterprise guardrails: an in-Slack AI agent, MCP over OAuth 2.0, and IDE plugins for Claude and Cursor all point at meeting responders inside their existing tools. In parallel the on-call surface keeps maturing, with global pay calculation, functionality-based paging, and SLA follow-ups. Rootly is widening from an incident tracker toward an operations layer spanning detection, response, and the back-office of running a rota.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Slack AI agent to gain more autonomous actions drawing on the Cortex catalog it now syncs, plus continued hardening of how agents authenticate and act.

ElevenLabs widens from TTS into a full voice-agent and music platform
◆ Current state
ElevenLabs is shipping on two fronts: new foundational capabilities, a Music v2 model with chunk-based composition and Speech Engine, which adds real-time voice to a developer's own agent or LLM, and a relentless cadence of ElevenAgents API work (Exotel telephony, workflow-aware transfers, new LLM options, SIP logs, knowledge-base editing) plus deprecations of v1 TTS/STT models and weekly SDK regenerations.
◆ Where it's heading
The company is consolidating into a voice-AI platform: owning the model layer (music, TTS, STT, turn detection) while making ElevenAgents and Speech Engine the programmable runtime others build conversational voice on. Aggressive deprecation signals confidence in pushing customers to current models.
◆ Prediction
Expect Speech Engine and Music v2 to mature with more controls, continued ElevenAgents telephony and workflow depth, and further old-model sunsets.
