AgencyAnalytics vs INBOmd
A side-by-side editorial comparison of AgencyAnalytics and INBOmd — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
AgencyAnalytics vs INBOmd: at a glance
What is AgencyAnalytics?
AgencyAI got skills three weeks ago; everything since has been making them routine.
The cadence is weekly and heavily weighted toward AgencyAI. Skills landed in early August as named, runnable agency tasks; scheduling followed, so those tasks now run on their own. Around the assistant, the reporting surface keeps widening: advanced filtering on custom metrics and KPIs, client tags, a report shares view, and a MailerLite data source that brings email campaign metrics alongside every other channel.
What is INBOmd?
Institutional report templates where a missing metadata field watermarks the whole document.
INBOmd supplies R Markdown output formats — PDF, gitbook, EPUB — carrying the house style and colophon requirements of INBO, the Flemish nature and forest research institute. Its distinguishing design decision is enforcement by embarrassment: an incomplete colophon stamps a watermark across every page until the required fields are filled in. Recent releases are small corrections, with the substantive template work sitting several years back.

AgencyAI got skills three weeks ago; everything since has been making them routine.
◆ Current state
The cadence is weekly and heavily weighted toward AgencyAI. Skills landed in early August as named, runnable agency tasks; scheduling followed, so those tasks now run on their own. Around the assistant, the reporting surface keeps widening: advanced filtering on custom metrics and KPIs, client tags, a report shares view, and a MailerLite data source that brings email campaign metrics alongside every other channel.
◆ Where it's heading
The assistant is being moved from something an operator invokes to something that runs on a schedule against connected client data, which changes it from a feature into part of the reporting pipeline. The integration work continues at its usual pace and serves the same end — the more channels are connected, the more a scheduled skill has to reason over. Filtering and tagging are the plumbing that lets those tasks be scoped to the right accounts.
◆ Prediction
Expect scheduled skills to gain delivery — results pushed into reports or sent to clients — rather than staying inside the assistant panel.
INBOmd
0.0ANALYTICS
Institutional report templates where a missing metadata field watermarks the whole document.
◆ Current state
INBOmd supplies R Markdown output formats — PDF, gitbook, EPUB — carrying the house style and colophon requirements of INBO, the Flemish nature and forest research institute. Its distinguishing design decision is enforcement by embarrassment: an incomplete colophon stamps a watermark across every page until the required fields are filled in. Recent releases are small corrections, with the substantive template work sitting several years back.
◆ Where it's heading
The package has settled into maintenance around a stable feature set, with recent activity split between watermark and colophon edge cases and keeping in step with its siblings — it picked up the new citeme dependency within days of checklist splitting that package out. The open work is the long tail of citation rendering across three output formats, where subtitles, colophon fields and DOIs each surface separately. Nothing here suggests new output formats are planned.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued small fixes to colophon and citation rendering across the three output formats, and dependency updates tracking the checklist and citeme packages it sits alongside.
