What is Feedly?

Feedly has become a threat-intel platform where AI agents, not feeds, do the reading.

Feedly now ships on a two-week cadence almost entirely against its Threat Intelligence product. The surface is a family of AI agents — Custom Intel Agents, Cyberattack Agent, Vulnerability Agent, plus tuned models for insider threats and threat-actor campaigns — wrapped in Insight Cards that carry CVE, IoC and detection-rule context. Report Builder and newsletters are the output layer; the RSS reader heritage barely appears in the changelog anymore.

What is Dagster?

Dagster drops Python 3.10 and lets agents run schedules and sensors through MCP.

Dagster's 1.13 line ships weekly and follows two threads. dagster-dbt no longer installs dbt-core and gained a dbt v2 extra for the Fusion engine, while the UI keeps getting phone layouts and faster search and catalog pages. 1.13.30 on November 12 makes Python 3.11 the minimum and widens the Dagster+ MCP server to reading and toggling schedules and sensors and managing partitions.

Feedly has become a threat-intel platform where AI agents, not feeds, do the reading.

◆ Current state

Feedly now ships on a two-week cadence almost entirely against its Threat Intelligence product. The surface is a family of AI agents — Custom Intel Agents, Cyberattack Agent, Vulnerability Agent, plus tuned models for insider threats and threat-actor campaigns — wrapped in Insight Cards that carry CVE, IoC and detection-rule context. Report Builder and newsletters are the output layer; the RSS reader heritage barely appears in the changelog anymore.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run through every release. First, agents are being fleshed out into complete workflow objects: they gained Ask AI Analyze and Research actions, then table controls, then alerting. Second, Feedly is closing the trust gap that AI-generated intel opens — MITRE ATT&CK tagging accuracy, exploit confidence and evidence on CVE cards, and Report Builder citations that resolve to the source passage. The integrations (Censys, GreyNoise, VirusTotal, Analyst1, SPL alongside KQL) point at fitting into SOC tooling rather than replacing it.

◆ Prediction

Expect the alerting added to Custom Intel Agents to spread to the other agents, and continued query-language and enrichment coverage aimed at existing SIEM workflows. Whether the Ask AI Research Playground becomes a real self-serve entry point or stays an evaluation demo is not readable from these entries.

Dagster

5.0

Dagster drops Python 3.10 and lets agents run schedules and sensors through MCP.

◆ Current state

Dagster's 1.13 line ships weekly and follows two threads. dagster-dbt no longer installs dbt-core and gained a dbt v2 extra for the Fusion engine, while the UI keeps getting phone layouts and faster search and catalog pages. 1.13.30 on November 12 makes Python 3.11 the minimum and widens the Dagster+ MCP server to reading and toggling schedules and sensors and managing partitions.

◆ Where it's heading

The Dagster+ MCP server has grown release by release, from launching runs without a code location in September to controlling schedules, sensors and partitions now. Combined with the dbt split, Dagster is trimming legacy dependencies while making the orchestrator something an agent can operate, not just a person in the UI.

◆ Prediction

The MCP server still lacks write access to things like backfills and alert policies, so expanding it there is the most visible next step; further Python and dbt version floors are likely to follow the 3.10 cut.
