Sparkpulse — Daily AI briefs on SaaS product releases

Shopify POS now recognizes in-store shoppers who have previously checked out on any Shopify Payments store. When a buyer takes a digital receipt by Shop app, email or text, the purchase is tied to a customer profile and added to the merchant's list in one tap, with Shopify Network Intelligence turned on.

Copilot Fusion is generally available. Instead of choosing a model for each task, users select Fusion and Copilot routes work across models, orchestrating more than one when a task calls for it.

Hatchet released @hatchet-dev/serverless 0.1.0, task handlers for Cloudflare Workers, Vercel and Node. Simple tasks arrive as signed POSTs. Everything else, including durable tasks with sleeps, waits and child runs, runs over an invocation websocket managed by a new in-engine operator, and a testing package simulates that operator without a Hatchet server.

n8n 3.0.0 shipped on October 27, the platform's first major version since 2.0. The published notes are mostly fixes shared with 2.46.0; the v3-specific items are community-package compatibility with the v3 node API, a broader default blocklist for outbound requests, and boot-time checks for removed binary data modes.

Ever Gauzy pushed its first production release since October 3, a single tag carrying about 3,700 commits. Stage history shows a Documents hub with OCR and inbound email, a custom dashboard builder, AI chat backed by OpenRouter and an opt-in usage statistics plugin among them.

AnythingLLM 1.19.0 puts AMD's Lemonade inference server inside the Docker container, so a single `docker run` with ENABLE_BUILT_IN_LLM=true and a GPU flag gives a working local LLM. It picks CUDA, Vulkan or CPU automatically, recommends models for the hardware, and works across workspace, agent and Model Router settings.

Wiki.js 3 now ships its own MCP server, so AI clients can read and work with wiki content directly, using the personal access tokens added two betas ago. The same build gives pages owners and lifecycle rules, plus a feedback board for ideas.

Wiki.js 3.0's latest beta ships a built-in MCP server, so AI clients can read and work with wiki content directly, with access governed by newly refined token scopes. The same build adds page ownership, lifecycle rules and a reviewer-managed feedback board.

Rivet 3.0 Preview ships on WarpDrive, a new storage engine that keeps state on S3 while promising SSD-like speed. S3 is the only dependency, and Rivet itself is a single stateless binary.

Ollama v0.40.11 generates speech locally on macOS. ollama run plays a model's reply aloud as audio is generated, and apps can stream speech from an OpenAI-compatible /v1/audio/speech endpoint.

Fonoster v0.31.0 redesigns Roomr as its SIP and media edge and ships warm transfers, answered-by call records and a Calls view built around the conversation and its recording. It arrives after the project parked its diarization work and jumped several minor versions in days.

Hi.Events v2.0.0-rc.3 adds reserved seating with a seat-map designer, best-available and accessible seats, and a box office that sells and checks in at the door with cash, comps or Stripe Terminal. Both are Enterprise features that need a licence in production; the rest stays free to self-host.

Gumloop 13.0 rebuilds the harness agents run on so they can handle longer, multi-step jobs and send progress updates in chat, Slack, Teams, iMessage or email. Admins also get one evaluation that grades several agents, analytics on who uses agent-built artifacts, and bulk transfer of a member's agents to a teammate.

Mattermost v12 stops agents from running on a shared service account. Each agent action now respects the requesting user's permissions, can run on a private model, and is logged for audit, so a channel summary can't pull in data the user isn't cleared to see.

Readwise now sells Reader and its highlight-review app separately. The original app is renamed Readwise Highlights, Reader Only and Highlights Only plans sit beside Full Readwise on the pricing page, and existing subscribers can switch plans themselves.

Dify 1.18.0 lets an Agent node route a workflow, picking which branch runs next from conditions the builder defines. It also adds portable .ifpkg app packages, nested-run drilldown, an Agent Knowledge Base beta and a difyctl CLI with a skill for coding agents.

Stigg released an open-source Agent Governance SDK in beta, built on its entitlement infrastructure. It extends feature gating and usage limits from human users to AI agents.

SmartSuite launched Script Engine, an admin page for creating, scheduling and monitoring workspace JavaScript. Scripts get a built-in editor, memory and timeout limits, secrets by reference, hourly, daily, weekly or cron schedules, and recorded run history tied to script versions.

Bytebase 3.24 lets an AI agent connected over MCP take an access request from start to finish: request just-in-time or unmasked access, approve or reject issues, and grant or revoke masking exemptions. The agent can only do what the signed-in user can, project approval rules still apply, and changes take effect only after the user confirms in their client.

Dapr 1.19 lets a workflow client start, pause, raise events on or rerun a workflow owned by another app, with access policies deciding who can do what. Workflow throughput is up to 40% higher, reminder registration p99 is 71% lower, and new alpha building blocks cover large-file storage, search and vectors. A separate Dapr MCP server exposes sidecar building blocks as tools for AI agents.
