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.
Neo4j moves its full graph algorithm catalog onto the free tier and adds attribute-based access control.
Neo4j is pushing capability downward and outward at the same time. The complete Graph Data Science catalog — 65+ algorithms — now runs on AuraDB Free in isolated, unbilled sessions, while Business Critical and Virtual Dedicated Cloud tiers gain attribute-based access control with time-windowed permissions and IdP claim mapping. Around those, the Aura platform continues its monthly cadence: Cypher 25 picked up GROUP BY and a GQL cardinality function, quantized vector search reached general availability, and the Query editor gained persistent tabs.

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.

The shape here is a funnel. Free-tier users get the algorithm catalog and hosted MCP access with no billing and no setup, which lowers the cost of the first serious graph experiment to nothing; enterprise tiers get the governance controls that make an expansion defensible. Cypher is simultaneously being pulled toward the GQL standard and extended with new surfaces — auth rules, grouping clauses — so the query language is absorbing work that used to sit in configuration and driver code.
Expect ABAC to descend to Professional tiers and the Aura Graph Analytics free session limits to become the pressure point Neo4j uses to convert experiments into paid capacity. The unresolved question from these entries is whether MCP for Aura reaches Virtual Dedicated Cloud, which is listed as pending.
