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 Holistics?
Holistics builds AI governance and docs-as-analytics in parallel, shipping both weekly
Holistics is in an active multi-track build across three distinct areas: AI governance (trace AI-triggered queries, per-user MCP access, data redaction for AI), self-service intelligence (anomaly detection, root-cause analysis), and a UX overhaul (new universal sidebar, dark mode). The pace is 3–5 releases per week with a high proportion of user-visible changes.

Feedly
5.0ANALYTICS
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.
Holistics
8.8ANALYTICS
Holistics builds AI governance and docs-as-analytics in parallel, shipping both weekly
◆ Current state
Holistics is in an active multi-track build across three distinct areas: AI governance (trace AI-triggered queries, per-user MCP access, data redaction for AI), self-service intelligence (anomaly detection, root-cause analysis), and a UX overhaul (new universal sidebar, dark mode). The pace is 3–5 releases per week with a high proportion of user-visible changes.
◆ Where it's heading
Two directions are clearly compounding. First, AI governance — each release adds a new layer of admin control or observability over how AI agents access data, positioning Holistics for enterprise buyers who need to audit AI behavior in the warehouse. Second, Markdown as data catalog — integrating documentation directly with models and dashboards points toward a data layer where docs live in code rather than a separate UI. The navigation overhaul clears the UX runway for both.
◆ Prediction
Holistics will continue deepening AI observability (attribution, access controls, and data redaction all shipped within weeks suggest a coordinated feature set) and extend the Markdown-as-data-catalog concept toward lineage visualization or schema documentation enforcement.
