What is Zoho Analytics?
Zoho Analytics is becoming the BI fabric for the Zoho stack — and an embed play for everyone else.
Zoho Analytics is executing on two parallel motions: deepening as the unified analytics layer across Zoho's own vertical apps (CRM, ERP, Inventory, Books, plus the Tally Prime connector for Indian finance teams), and pitching itself to outside SaaS builders as a white-label embedded BI option. The Q1 2026 rollup landed custom visualizations, drill actions, archive-data performance work, and stronger white-label security. Content output is heavy: half of the recent activity reads as thought leadership on embedded and white-label BI rather than feature releases.
What is Deepnote?
Deepnote turns the notebook into shared context for AI coding agents
Deepnote has spent the year hardening the fundamentals of a collaborative notebook — Git sync, run snapshots, Polars, multi-format interop, AI cost visibility — and is now opening that accumulated workspace context to external agents. The June move wiring Codex directly into the workspace signals where the bet is going.

Zoho Analytics
6.3ANALYTICS
Zoho Analytics is becoming the BI fabric for the Zoho stack — and an embed play for everyone else.
◆ Current state
Zoho Analytics is executing on two parallel motions: deepening as the unified analytics layer across Zoho's own vertical apps (CRM, ERP, Inventory, Books, plus the Tally Prime connector for Indian finance teams), and pitching itself to outside SaaS builders as a white-label embedded BI option. The Q1 2026 rollup landed custom visualizations, drill actions, archive-data performance work, and stronger white-label security. Content output is heavy: half of the recent activity reads as thought leadership on embedded and white-label BI rather than feature releases.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from "a BI tool you can buy" to "the analytics layer that ties the Zoho suite together," with each new in-house Zoho app (ERP most recently) shipping with an Analytics connector at launch. In parallel, the team is staking out embedded analytics as a category position, betting that ISVs increasingly want to buy that capability rather than build it. AI-driven analytics is being woven in quietly via Zia and the new CRM advanced-analytics framing.
◆ Prediction
Expect more "advanced analytics for [Zoho app]" launches following the CRM playbook — Books, Desk, and Inventory are the obvious next candidates. The embedded/white-label push will likely get firmer pricing or packaging in the next quarter.
Deepnote

Deepnote turns the notebook into shared context for AI coding agents
◆ Current state
Deepnote has spent the year hardening the fundamentals of a collaborative notebook — Git sync, run snapshots, Polars, multi-format interop, AI cost visibility — and is now opening that accumulated workspace context to external agents. The June move wiring Codex directly into the workspace signals where the bet is going.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform is positioning its notebooks, scheduled jobs, and integrations as the grounding context layer for AI exploration, while steadily closing the engineering-workflow gaps (Git, snapshots, reproducibility) that made notebooks hard to trust. Reproducibility plus agent-readable context is the combined thesis.
◆ Prediction
Expect deeper agent integration — more tools beyond Codex able to read and act on workspace context — alongside continued reproducibility and governance features like the AI usage metering already shipped.
