Single Grain
Single Grain keeps publishing AI-for-marketing how-tos, not product changes
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Demand Gen Report and Postiz — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Demand Gen Report covers Salesforce's AI sales agent research and click-free measurement.
Demand Gen Report's feed publishes under the B2BMX Insights name and remains trade journalism. The newest pieces include an opinion column arguing that giving sales reps Claude is not a strategy, a CTV case study, Demand Spring's new CMO services, a webinar with Madison Logic's CEO and a call for its 2027 planning survey. None describes a Demand Gen Report product.
Postiz encrypts channel tokens and lets agents hand out channel-connect links
The 13 November release adds opt-in encryption of channel tokens at rest (local key or AWS KMS), connect links that let the public API or an MCP agent send someone a link to add a channel, Amazon SES for email and 20-item Instagram carousels with alt text. It also closes two access-control holes: plain members could call billing routes, and post saves could carry another organization's ids. October's release added preview comments and a self-hosted MCP connector.

Coverage keeps centering on AI in B2B go-to-market, now including general-purpose assistants competing with sales tools. Event and survey promotion for 2027 planning is ramping up.
Expect results from the 2027 planning survey and more coverage of AI agents in sales; the feed shows no product releases.

Security and agent access now ship together. Each release hardens the self-hosted install while giving MCP agents and the API more of the workflow, from preview links in October to onboarding a client's channel in November.
Expect more MCP and API actions around client onboarding and review, and further access-control audits given two fixes in this release alone.
