What is Fulcrum?
Fulcrum turns on Insights, its AI assistant for field data, for every customer.
Fulcrum, a field data collection platform, opened Insights to all customers on all plans as a public beta, on by default. Users ask questions in plain language across up to five apps and get charts, maps and tables, with an org-level off switch. Around it, web, iOS and Android releases fixed map, GPS and photo markup issues and tuned Photo FastFill and Insights styling.
What is OpenCTI?
OpenCTI rebuilds its knowledge graph: keyboard control, grouping by type, SVG export.
Filigran shipped four OpenCTI weeklies in a week. 7.261021.1 (replacing a deleted 7.261021.0) lets Ask Ariane show and download decks, reports and videos made by XTM One and overhauls every graph surface. 7.261023.0 adds keyboard control of graphs, grouping of same-type objects and higher-resolution or SVG graph export, plus fixes for live-stream resource leaks. 7.261023.1 and 7.261026.0 are fix releases.
Fulcrum vs OpenCTI: editorial side-by-side
Fulcrum
6.3ANALYTICS
Fulcrum turns on Insights, its AI assistant for field data, for every customer.
◆ Current state
Fulcrum, a field data collection platform, opened Insights to all customers on all plans as a public beta, on by default. Users ask questions in plain language across up to five apps and get charts, maps and tables, with an org-level off switch. Around it, web, iOS and Android releases fixed map, GPS and photo markup issues and tuned Photo FastFill and Insights styling.
◆ Where it's heading
Fulcrum is adding AI at both ends of its workflow: FastFill extracts data from photos and audio at capture, and Insights answers questions about the data afterwards. Mobile releases stay focused on reliability for GPS and map features still in beta.
◆ Prediction
Expect Insights to move toward general availability or paid packaging once the beta collects usage, and GPS Integration to leave beta after the current fix cycle.
OpenCTI
5.0ANALYTICS
OpenCTI rebuilds its knowledge graph: keyboard control, grouping by type, SVG export.
◆ Current state
Filigran shipped four OpenCTI weeklies in a week. 7.261021.1 (replacing a deleted 7.261021.0) lets Ask Ariane show and download decks, reports and videos made by XTM One and overhauls every graph surface. 7.261023.0 adds keyboard control of graphs, grouping of same-type objects and higher-resolution or SVG graph export, plus fixes for live-stream resource leaks. 7.261023.1 and 7.261026.0 are fix releases.
◆ Where it's heading
The knowledge graph is getting the attention dashboards got the week before, closing feature requests that date back years (some issue numbers are under 2000). In parallel, XTM One output keeps moving into the chat, and organization segregation and connector catalog hygiene keep appearing in fix lists.
◆ Prediction
Expect further graph work in coming weeklies and the Material UI 9 migration to finish, with occasional regressions. The entries do not indicate when a new LTS line will be cut.
