What is Fibery?

Fibery's Custom Apps go GA, completing its turn from work tracker to embedded app platform

Fibery spent the past quarter building and shipping Custom Apps — AI-generated mini-apps buildable inside the platform via Claude, ChatGPT, or MCP. Custom Apps launched publicly in mid-August after two months of experimental iteration. In the same period, Fibery added AI-driven automation creation, a usage dashboard tracking AI and integration consumption, and expanded MCP coverage to rich text editing and direct Custom Apps authoring. The platform is shipping weekly with a mix of headliner features and steady bug fixing.

What is Tracecat?

Tracecat hits 1.0 RC with open-source agent presets, agent-case @mentions, and 20+ new security integrations.

Tracecat is in 1.0 release candidate territory, with RC.1 and RC.2 landing in quick succession. The platform has fundamentally expanded its case management system: agents can now be invoked from case comment @mentions, record their mutations back to cases, and have their runs filtered and linked to specific cases. The MCP catalog, agent presets, and skills were open-sourced in RC.1. The integration catalog grew by 20+ providers in beta.52 — Rippling, Jamf, Microsoft Graph, Databricks, Snowflake, Recorded Future, and others. RC.2 adds SSRF blocking for MCP and LLM requests and AWS role chaining.

Fibery vs Tracecat: editorial side-by-side

F6.3

Fibery's Custom Apps go GA, completing its turn from work tracker to embedded app platform

◆ Current state

Fibery spent the past quarter building and shipping Custom Apps — AI-generated mini-apps buildable inside the platform via Claude, ChatGPT, or MCP. Custom Apps launched publicly in mid-August after two months of experimental iteration. In the same period, Fibery added AI-driven automation creation, a usage dashboard tracking AI and integration consumption, and expanded MCP coverage to rich text editing and direct Custom Apps authoring. The platform is shipping weekly with a mix of headliner features and steady bug fixing.

◆ Where it's heading

Fibery is repositioning from a flexible project tracker into a platform where teams build custom tooling on top of their own data, without leaving the workspace. The Custom Apps launch — AI-generated, embeddable in documents, now on a versioned platform — is the clearest statement of that direction. MCP integration at multiple layers (rich text, apps, automations) shows Fibery making itself a first-class target in AI-native workflows rather than bolting on a chat widget.

◆ Prediction

The next likely move is tying Custom Apps directly into Fibery's automation engine — AI-built apps that trigger and respond to automations — which would close the loop between the platform's two main new capability axes. The breaking platform update to Custom Apps in September signals further architectural changes are coming before the feature stabilizes.

T7.5

Tracecat hits 1.0 RC with open-source agent presets, agent-case @mentions, and 20+ new security integrations.

◆ Current state

Tracecat is in 1.0 release candidate territory, with RC.1 and RC.2 landing in quick succession. The platform has fundamentally expanded its case management system: agents can now be invoked from case comment @mentions, record their mutations back to cases, and have their runs filtered and linked to specific cases. The MCP catalog, agent presets, and skills were open-sourced in RC.1. The integration catalog grew by 20+ providers in beta.52 — Rippling, Jamf, Microsoft Graph, Databricks, Snowflake, Recorded Future, and others. RC.2 adds SSRF blocking for MCP and LLM requests and AWS role chaining.

◆ Where it's heading

Tracecat is building toward a security automation platform where agents are primary workflow participants, not external integrations. The agent@mention model in case comments, combined with open-sourcing the MCP catalog for community contributions, signals a bet on collaborative human-agent case investigation rather than just automated runbooks. Dropping pydantic-ai in beta.52 in favor of a custom durable runtime reflects a commitment to owning the agent execution stack — the kind of choice that enables the SSRF blocking and error classification work shipping in parallel.

◆ Prediction

The 1.0 stable release will ship shortly and will lead with the agent-case interaction model as the headline capability. Post-stable, watch for expansion of the open-source MCP catalog driven by community contributions and a push around the enterprise entitlement and SCIM system for larger SOC teams.
