What is Axiom?
Axiom unifies logs, traces, and metrics into one AI-agent-queryable observability surface
Axiom is building AI-agent-native observability. Metrics reached GA unified with logs and traces and queryable by agents through MCP, Correlations stitches the three datasets together for investigations, and a run of skills (Query Metrics, Write Evaluations, SRE) turn AI coding agents into operators of the platform. Online evaluations extend it into AI-engineering workflows.
What is Deepnote?
Deepnote reshapes the data notebook into agent-operable infrastructure.
Deepnote, a collaborative data-science notebook, is steadily making itself agent-native: MCP tools now let AI agents create and wire integrations end-to-end, and OpenAI's Codex connects natively to a Deepnote workspace's notebooks, schedules, and data. Underneath, it keeps shipping solid workflow features — run snapshots, Git and GitLab sync, Polars, PDF export.

Axiom
2.5ANALYTICS
Axiom unifies logs, traces, and metrics into one AI-agent-queryable observability surface
◆ Current state
Axiom is building AI-agent-native observability. Metrics reached GA unified with logs and traces and queryable by agents through MCP, Correlations stitches the three datasets together for investigations, and a run of skills (Query Metrics, Write Evaluations, SRE) turn AI coding agents into operators of the platform. Online evaluations extend it into AI-engineering workflows.
◆ Where it's heading
Two arcs converge: completing the observability triad (logs + traces + metrics under one query layer) and exposing that layer to AI agents as a first-class consumer via MCP and purpose-built skills. Axiom is also moving up the stack into evaluating AI systems, not just observing infrastructure.
◆ Prediction
Expect more agent-facing skills and deeper AI-engineering evaluation tooling, given the steady cadence of MCP-queryable features and eval releases across this window.
Deepnote
6.3ANALYTICS
Deepnote reshapes the data notebook into agent-operable infrastructure.
◆ Current state
Deepnote, a collaborative data-science notebook, is steadily making itself agent-native: MCP tools now let AI agents create and wire integrations end-to-end, and OpenAI's Codex connects natively to a Deepnote workspace's notebooks, schedules, and data. Underneath, it keeps shipping solid workflow features — run snapshots, Git and GitLab sync, Polars, PDF export.
◆ Where it's heading
Two tracks are converging: reproducibility and engineering rigor (immutable run snapshots, Git sync, notebook interoperability) and agent-operability (MCP tools, Codex context). Deepnote is positioning the workspace as the trusted context layer that AI agents act through, not just a place humans write notebooks.
◆ Prediction
Expect more MCP tooling that lets agents operate Deepnote projects autonomously, plus deeper native hooks for external coding agents — the workspace-as-agent-context bet will likely expand beyond Codex.
