What is Survicate?
Survicate pivots from survey tool to AI-native research platform with Research Hub.
On May 22, 2026, Survicate replaced Insights Hub with Research Hub — a project-based workspace that connects surveys, support tickets, call transcripts, app reviews, and 15+ other feedback sources, producing stakeholder-ready AI-generated reports where every claim links back to the exact feedback it came from. A Research Assistant grounded in the project's own sources handles follow-ups; insights surface and are tracked over time. The prior months show steady survey-craft improvements: in-survey language selectors (March), custom fonts (March), response attributes (March), light/dark theme support (Feb), team-invite role bundling (Feb), and an alternative CSAT calculation (Feb).
What is Cluvio?
Cluvio keeps sharpening the SQL-analyst workflow, and now lets you query files without a database.
Cluvio is a SQL-first BI tool methodically polishing the analyst loop: chart types, alerting, settings, and exports. The recent run leans heavily toward usability — redesigned preferences with country presets, a clearer datasource picker, and exports that now carry their own context. The one real capability expansion is Static Tables, which lets users query uploaded CSV and Excel files with SQL via an embedded DataFusion engine.

Survicate pivots from survey tool to AI-native research platform with Research Hub.
◆ Current state
On May 22, 2026, Survicate replaced Insights Hub with Research Hub — a project-based workspace that connects surveys, support tickets, call transcripts, app reviews, and 15+ other feedback sources, producing stakeholder-ready AI-generated reports where every claim links back to the exact feedback it came from. A Research Assistant grounded in the project's own sources handles follow-ups; insights surface and are tracked over time. The prior months show steady survey-craft improvements: in-survey language selectors (March), custom fonts (March), response attributes (March), light/dark theme support (Feb), team-invite role bundling (Feb), and an alternative CSAT calculation (Feb).
◆ Where it's heading
The directional move is clear — from "survey tool" to AI-native research platform. The earlier Research Assistant work in January and February was the stepping stone; Research Hub is the destination, and the rebrand from Insights Hub signals the team treating this as a category move, not a feature add. Survey-builder work continues but now reads as table-stakes maintenance underneath the new platform layer.
◆ Prediction
Expect Research Hub to grow new source integrations (sales-call platforms, support systems beyond ticket text) and pre-built templates for common B2B-SaaS research patterns — churn analysis, win/loss, NPS driver mining. Deeper report sharing and distribution would put Survicate directly in Dovetail and Sprig's path.
Cluvio
5.0ANALYTICS
Cluvio keeps sharpening the SQL-analyst workflow, and now lets you query files without a database.
◆ Current state
Cluvio is a SQL-first BI tool methodically polishing the analyst loop: chart types, alerting, settings, and exports. The recent run leans heavily toward usability — redesigned preferences with country presets, a clearer datasource picker, and exports that now carry their own context. The one real capability expansion is Static Tables, which lets users query uploaded CSV and Excel files with SQL via an embedded DataFusion engine.
◆ Where it's heading
Most recent work tightens existing surfaces rather than opening new ones — the product is maturing its core rather than chasing scope. The exception, querying files without a connected database, points to Cluvio positioning itself for ad-hoc analysis, not only dashboards over warehouses. Expect continued UX consolidation across settings, exports, and pickers, interleaved with occasional capability adds like new chart types.
◆ Prediction
Likely next moves are further build-out of Static Tables — more file formats or richer joins across uploads — alongside continued chart and alerting polish. The cadence reads as incremental shipping rather than a large directional pivot.
