silx settles into maintenance a release after its PySide6 migration
A side-by-side editorial comparison of AgencyAnalytics and hubPredEvalsData — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
AgencyAnalytics is turning its assistant into scheduled agency staff work, not a chat box.
The release cadence is weekly and heavily weighted toward AgencyAI. Skills landed in early August as named, runnable agency tasks; scheduling followed, letting those requests run on a cadence and post results into the client's conversation. Around them sit portfolio-management improvements — client tags, report share history, advanced metric filtering — and a consolidated Data tab feeding the assistant's context.
The pipeline turning hub forecasts into dashboard-ready evaluation data.
hubPredEvalsData generates the scored evaluation data that hubverse prediction dashboards read, driven by a predevals-config.yml and scoring through hubEvals underneath. It is the youngest package in this part of the stack and the fastest-moving in configuration terms, having already passed a breaking 1.0.0 and a schema-versioned feature addition. Its output contract is a scores.csv file consumed downstream, which shapes what its releases care about.

Every recent release either gives AgencyAI more to read or more autonomy in when it runs. The Data tab consolidation, the AI Tracker add-on for AI search visibility, and now scheduling all point the same way: the platform is being positioned to produce the recurring client deliverables an agency would otherwise assign to a junior analyst.
Expect scheduled AgencyAI output to gain delivery paths beyond conversation history — into reports or client-facing sends — given the existing report scheduling and share infrastructure.

Its output contract is a scores.csv file consumed downstream, which shapes what its releases care about.
Each release widens what the config file can express — round selection, then scale transformations with per-target overrides, then target labelling pulled from the hub's own task metadata. The pattern is consistent: capability that already exists in hubEvals gets a declarative surface here so hub maintainers configure it rather than write code. Recent attention to byte-stable output ordering shows the file is being treated as a reproducible artifact, not just a report.
Expect the config schema to keep absorbing hubEvals capabilities as declarative options, with continued attention to making scores.csv reproducible and diffable between runs.
