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 Dovetail?

Dovetail lets admins choose which connectors members can plug into the workspace.

Channels 2.0 reached general availability on October 21. In November Dovetail opened itself to outside assistants: Claude and ChatGPT can co-author docs, agents can be managed from MCP clients such as Claude and Cursor, and Jira roadmap items can pull in Dovetail evidence. On November 12 it added the matching control: workspace admins decide which connectors members may use.

Feedly vs Dovetail: editorial side-by-side

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.

5.0

Dovetail lets admins choose which connectors members can plug into the workspace.

◆ Current state

Channels 2.0 reached general availability on October 21. In November Dovetail opened itself to outside assistants: Claude and ChatGPT can co-author docs, agents can be managed from MCP clients such as Claude and Cursor, and Jira roadmap items can pull in Dovetail evidence. On November 12 it added the matching control: workspace admins decide which connectors members may use.

◆ Where it's heading

Dovetail is turning its research repository into a source that other tools and assistants read and write, rather than a place people must visit. The admin connector controls show the cost of that openness: each new integration needs a security gate before larger customers will turn it on.

◆ Prediction

With connectors now gated by admins, expect more connectors and MCP actions to ship behind the same controls, plus audit detail on what connected tools did.
