Redocly vs KrakenD: at a glance
What is Redocly?
Redocly lets docs teams filter AI assistant chats by the visitor's team.
Redocly's Platform keeps building out analytics for its docs AI assistant. After question categories on November 10 and an Answer found filter on November 11, a November 12 release adds the visitor's teams to each conversation, with a team filter, email search and a matching CSV column. The rest of the week was fixes: hardened access control for hosted projects, Git outage handling and Respect Monitoring runs.
What is KrakenD?
KrakenD's community edition is shipping only dependency bumps.
The two tracked KrakenD releases are patch releases of the community edition. 2.13.10 in August moved to Go 1.26.7, and 2.13.11 in September bumped the gRPC and RabbitMQ client libraries.

◆ Where it's heading
Each Platform release adds another way to slice assistant conversations, turning the assistant into a source of feedback on which readers are stuck. Fixes to monitoring and access arrive alongside.
◆ Prediction
Expect assistant analytics to link unanswered questions to the pages that should answer them; the entries do not yet show that step.
