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.
Fulcrum ships MCP server and AI Toolkit to let AI assistants build and query field data forms
Fulcrum is running two parallel tracks: foundational mobile stability (GPS accuracy, offline PDF, Photo FastFill across iOS and Android) and a new AI integration layer via MCP. The mobile side is a steady improvement cadence; the MCP launch is the first genuinely new capability surface the product has added in this window. Photo FastFill (AI-assisted data extraction from photos) continues to mature through early access.

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.
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.

Photo FastFill (AI-assisted data extraction from photos) continues to mature through early access.
The MCP + AI Toolkit launch signals that Fulcrum sees AI-assisted configuration as a primary growth vector — letting field operations teams describe a form in plain language and have an AI build it correctly. Photo FastFill and offline PDF generation via App Extensions are part of the same arc: AI-augmented data capture for field workers who may not be technically proficient. The product is incrementally offloading form-building complexity to AI.
Fulcrum will extend the MCP toolset toward reading and writing records directly, not just building forms and schema. Photo FastFill will likely exit early access with more field types supported as the extraction model improves.
