What is Sentry?
Sentry pushes Seer into open beta and ramps AI-agent observability.
Sentry is now running on two visible tracks: an AI track around Seer (root-cause analysis, Claude-driven fixes, and now an open-beta conversational agent) and a steady SDK expansion track (Nitro, Cloudflare Workers RPC trace propagation, LangGraph instrumentation, multi-module Android source context). The Alerts product is being split into Monitors and Alerts, the first structural change to that surface in a while.
What is Depot?
Depot turns its build-acceleration compute into a metered backend for AI agents.
Depot is shipping fast across two fronts: hardening its CI platform and opening its compute to AI workloads. Recent CI work includes native step retries, durable cache disks, and a generally available API and CLI with full dashboard parity. On the AI front it added SOCI v2 to cut startup time for large CUDA and PyTorch images and launched a Sandbox SDK to run untrusted or agent-generated code in ephemeral, billed sandboxes.

Sentry pushes Seer into open beta and ramps AI-agent observability.
◆ Current state
Sentry is now running on two visible tracks: an AI track around Seer (root-cause analysis, Claude-driven fixes, and now an open-beta conversational agent) and a steady SDK expansion track (Nitro, Cloudflare Workers RPC trace propagation, LangGraph instrumentation, multi-module Android source context). The Alerts product is being split into Monitors and Alerts, the first structural change to that surface in a while.
◆ Where it's heading
Sentry is moving from an error-tracker that AI uses to debug, toward an AI-native debugging surface — Seer is being upgraded from a feature into the primary user, and the addition of LangGraph instrumentation signals Sentry wants to be the observability layer for agentic apps too. The Perforce GA shows the enterprise courtship continues alongside the AI bet.
◆ Prediction
Expect Seer Agent to leave open beta with broader chat surfaces (IDE, web, CLI), more model partners beyond Claude, and additional agent-framework instrumentation (CrewAI, AutoGen, OpenAI Agents SDK). The Monitors/Alerts split likely seeds an SLO product as the next directional move.

Depot turns its build-acceleration compute into a metered backend for AI agents.
◆ Current state
Depot is shipping fast across two fronts: hardening its CI platform and opening its compute to AI workloads. Recent CI work includes native step retries, durable cache disks, and a generally available API and CLI with full dashboard parity. On the AI front it added SOCI v2 to cut startup time for large CUDA and PyTorch images and launched a Sandbox SDK to run untrusted or agent-generated code in ephemeral, billed sandboxes.
◆ Where it's heading
Depot is extending from build and CI acceleration toward being a general compute backend for agents. The Sandbox SDK, the agent-friendly GA API, and ML-image startup optimizations point the same way: sell fast, isolated, metered compute that AI tools and pipelines can drive programmatically. The CI improvements keep the core product sticky while the platform broadens.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Sandbox SDK to move toward general availability with more language and filesystem surface, and continued convergence of CI and sandbox compute under one metered, API-first platform.
