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 Geckoboard?
Geckoboard is refining the dashboard itself — more filtering control and faster data.
Geckoboard's recent work targets the mechanics of building and reading dashboards: multi-value GA4 contains filters, cross-object HubSpot filtering, chart granularity decoupled from timespan, configurable week-start, and webhook-driven instant updates for Zendesk agent status. It also shipped a stacked column chart — its first entirely new visualization in years.

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.
Geckoboard
5.0ANALYTICS
Geckoboard is refining the dashboard itself — more filtering control and faster data.
◆ Current state
Geckoboard's recent work targets the mechanics of building and reading dashboards: multi-value GA4 contains filters, cross-object HubSpot filtering, chart granularity decoupled from timespan, configurable week-start, and webhook-driven instant updates for Zendesk agent status. It also shipped a stacked column chart — its first entirely new visualization in years.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is steady refinement of the core dashboarding surface rather than expansion into new product areas. Most releases give analysts finer control over how existing metrics are filtered, bucketed, and refreshed — closing small gaps power users hit daily.
◆ Prediction
Expect more of the same: incremental filtering, visualization, and integration-freshness improvements. The single new chart type may signal appetite for more visualizations, but the entries don't confirm a broader push.
