What is Sprig?
Sprig is layering AI agents on top of every step of the survey pipeline.
Sprig has spent six months turning surveys into an AI-augmented research pipeline. November opened with Conversational Surveys and MaxDiff. Q1 added Attribute Piping for personalization, Display Logic on Enterprise, AI Follow-up Question for adaptive probes, and prototype testing improvements. April delivered AI Dynamic Questions and the Synthesize Agent's AI Study Report. Two distinct threads run in parallel: classic survey-tooling depth, and named AI agents that handle the parts humans used to.
What is OpenHouse?
OpenHouse adds time-zone-aware retention and per-database table caps.
OpenHouse ships small versioned releases straight from merged pull requests. On November 13 it shipped five: retention policies on string date columns can now take a time zone, operators can cap live tables per database with metrics on usage and rejections, view requests and operations are now audited in full, and two fixes make view property SET/UNSET and REPLACE behave. Earlier in November failed Spark maintenance jobs began exiting as failed.

Sprig
3.8ANALYTICS
Sprig is layering AI agents on top of every step of the survey pipeline.
◆ Current state
Sprig has spent six months turning surveys into an AI-augmented research pipeline. November opened with Conversational Surveys and MaxDiff. Q1 added Attribute Piping for personalization, Display Logic on Enterprise, AI Follow-up Question for adaptive probes, and prototype testing improvements. April delivered AI Dynamic Questions and the Synthesize Agent's AI Study Report. Two distinct threads run in parallel: classic survey-tooling depth, and named AI agents that handle the parts humans used to.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from a survey runner to an end-to-end research workflow with agents at the question, response, and analysis layers. Enterprise gating shows up consistently on the AI features, signaling that AI is the upsell. Expect more named agents (segmentation, recommendation, trend tracking) and tighter ties between agent outputs and product analytics.
◆ Prediction
The next directional move likely connects agent insights back into product surfaces and growth experiments, closing the research-to-action loop. AI Dynamic Questions and Display Logic should converge into a single adaptive-flow primitive available beyond Enterprise.
OpenHouse
5.0ANALYTICS
OpenHouse adds time-zone-aware retention and per-database table caps.
◆ Current state
OpenHouse ships small versioned releases straight from merged pull requests. On November 13 it shipped five: retention policies on string date columns can now take a time zone, operators can cap live tables per database with metrics on usage and rejections, view requests and operations are now audited in full, and two fixes make view property SET/UNSET and REPLACE behave. Earlier in November failed Spark maintenance jobs began exiting as failed.
◆ Where it's heading
OpenHouse is adding the controls a shared lakehouse needs at scale: quotas, audit trails and retention that matches business calendars. Views are getting the same governance tables already had.
◆ Prediction
Expect more views milestones after audit (the release is labeled Views M1), and further operator controls for quotas and maintenance.
