What is Statsig?
Statsig opens an agent-skills repo and broadens MCP, betting on AI agents as a primary user surface.
Statsig is treating AI coding agents (Claude, Cursor, Codex) as first-class consumers of the platform. The recent push includes a public agent-skills repository (reusable Statsig skills agents can install), MCP coverage extended to Segments and Layers so targeting and experiment config are now agent-driveable, and a private-beta Console API for generating dashboards programmatically. Alongside that, the analytics surface keeps gaining quality-of-life primitives: cancellable Metrics Explorer queries, Lifecycle Charts, Dashboard Pages.
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.

Statsig

Statsig opens an agent-skills repo and broadens MCP, betting on AI agents as a primary user surface.
◆ Current state
Statsig is treating AI coding agents (Claude, Cursor, Codex) as first-class consumers of the platform. The recent push includes a public agent-skills repository (reusable Statsig skills agents can install), MCP coverage extended to Segments and Layers so targeting and experiment config are now agent-driveable, and a private-beta Console API for generating dashboards programmatically. Alongside that, the analytics surface keeps gaining quality-of-life primitives: cancellable Metrics Explorer queries, Lifecycle Charts, Dashboard Pages.
◆ Where it's heading
The bet is that experimentation, feature flags, and product analytics work increasingly happens through an agent — engineers asking Claude or Cursor to set up a flag, build a dashboard, or check an experiment, rather than navigating Statsig's UI directly. Each release is either widening MCP coverage or making the underlying primitives agent-shaped (Console API for dashboards, shareable metric outputs, query cancellation to keep agent workloads from blowing up warehouse spend).
◆ Prediction
Expect MCP coverage to keep filling out — experiments, gates, holdouts — and the agent-skills repo to become a community surface with sample skills from common LLM agents. Pricing or guardrails around agent-driven warehouse query volume are an increasingly likely follow-on.
Depot

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.
