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 Holistics?
Holistics doubles down on agentic, code-native BI while courting Power BI defectors
Holistics is positioning as a code-native BI platform where data models live in version control and AI agents handle setup and querying. Recent releases pair an aggressive Power BI migration path with deeper Oracle and GitHub integrations, broadening both who can switch and what they can connect.

◆ 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.
Holistics
7.5ANALYTICS
Holistics doubles down on agentic, code-native BI while courting Power BI defectors
◆ Current state
Holistics is positioning as a code-native BI platform where data models live in version control and AI agents handle setup and querying. Recent releases pair an aggressive Power BI migration path with deeper Oracle and GitHub integrations, broadening both who can switch and what they can connect.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is converging on two bets: agentic development, via Claude Code skills that scaffold projects and a more conversational Ask AI, and frictionless onboarding for teams leaving incumbent BI tools. Connector breadth plus migration tooling points to a deliberate push to capture displaced Power BI and legacy-warehouse users.
◆ Prediction
Expect more one-command agentic skills and additional migration paths from other incumbents like Looker or Tableau as Holistics leans into 'switch from X' as a growth motion.
