Fibery vs Productboard: at a glance
What is Fibery?
Fibery's MCP server can now upload local files, so AI assistants can attach screenshots and images.
Fibery's October 22 release is small: rich text accepts multiple files at once, with new upload and upload-by-link options, and the MCP server lets an AI assistant upload files from the user's computer into file fields or rich text. It follows three heavier releases: AI-built custom integrations, Custom Apps as entity views, and a rebuilt AI agent.
What is Productboard?
Productboard v2 adds exact-match text filters as the data model keeps widening.
Productboard's v2 API spent the summer closing v1 parity gaps, then in September made entity types an open, workspace-specific string. Since then the data model has kept widening: rich text accepts tables and checklists, relationships hold their own field values, and as of October 15 entity search supports exact-match filtering on text fields.

◆ Current state
Fibery's October 22 release is small: rich text accepts multiple files at once, with new upload and upload-by-link options, and the MCP server lets an AI assistant upload files from the user's computer into file fields or rich text. It follows three heavier releases: AI-built custom integrations, Custom Apps as entity views, and a rebuilt AI agent.
◆ Where it's heading
Fibery is making AI the main builder and operator of the workspace: the agent, Custom Apps, AI-generated integrations and an MCP server that now handles code execution and files. The weekly cadence alternates big AI releases with quality-of-life updates like this one.
◆ Prediction
Expect the custom-integration preview to widen and the MCP server to gain more write actions; another large AI release is likely within a few weeks given the pattern.
Productboard v2 adds exact-match text filters as the data model keeps widening.
◆ Current state
Productboard's v2 API spent the summer closing v1 parity gaps, then in September made entity types an open, workspace-specific string. Since then the data model has kept widening: rich text accepts tables and checklists, relationships hold their own field values, and as of October 15 entity search supports exact-match filtering on text fields.
◆ Where it's heading
With parity mostly done, v2 is extending the data model and making it queryable. Workspace-defined entity types and relationship fields push schema decisions into each workspace's configuration, and filter operators like eq let integrations match records precisely instead of scanning with contains.
◆ Prediction
Expect filtering and search to reach relationship fields next, following the pattern of new data shapes gaining query operators a few weeks later. Whether the beta customer score endpoint leaves beta isn't signalled by the entries.
