What is VWO?
VWO consolidates experimentation, analytics, and AI as the AB Tasty merger surfaces
VWO is broadening from A/B testing into a wider optimization suite: VWO AI to compress insight-to-execution, behavior analytics linked directly to feature experimentation, the VWO Pulse Voice-of-Customer product, and a Go SDK for backend feature flags. Operationally, the AB Tasty merger is now visible — the app is moving from app.vwo.com to app.wingify.com.
What is Chord?
Chord rebuilds Copilot from scratch as its AI layer becomes the product's center.
Chord is a CDP and analytics platform whose recent arc is dominated by its AI assistant, Copilot. After moving Chord AI's reasoning models to Anthropic and shipping Enriched Context for accuracy, it has iterated Copilot into a feedback loop — sentiment detection, feedback memory, live documentation grounding — and is now rebuilding it entirely as Copilot Next.

VWO
6.3ANALYTICS
VWO consolidates experimentation, analytics, and AI as the AB Tasty merger surfaces
◆ Current state
VWO is broadening from A/B testing into a wider optimization suite: VWO AI to compress insight-to-execution, behavior analytics linked directly to feature experimentation, the VWO Pulse Voice-of-Customer product, and a Go SDK for backend feature flags. Operationally, the AB Tasty merger is now visible — the app is moving from app.vwo.com to app.wingify.com.
◆ Where it's heading
Direction is a unified experimentation-and-insight platform that connects the 'what' (experiments, feature releases) to the 'why' (behavior analytics, VoC feedback), with AI shortening the analysis loop. The merger layers consolidation and infrastructure alignment on top of the feature expansion.
◆ Prediction
Expect tighter integration between VWO AI, behavior analytics, and feature experimentation, plus continued post-merger platform and domain consolidation.
Chord

Chord rebuilds Copilot from scratch as its AI layer becomes the product's center.
◆ Current state
Chord is a CDP and analytics platform whose recent arc is dominated by its AI assistant, Copilot. After moving Chord AI's reasoning models to Anthropic and shipping Enriched Context for accuracy, it has iterated Copilot into a feedback loop — sentiment detection, feedback memory, live documentation grounding — and is now rebuilding it entirely as Copilot Next.
◆ Where it's heading
The conversational query layer is becoming the product's center of gravity. Underlying CDP and data-modeling work continues, but the headline investment is making natural-language access to customer data accurate, grounded, and trustworthy enough to be the primary interface.
◆ Prediction
Expect Copilot Next to widen beyond the initial small-group preview, with continued feedback-loop, grounding, and reliability work on the AI layer.
