What is Knock?
Knock is hardening for enterprise buyers while its agent takes over the analysis work.
Knock ships weekly, in small, legible increments across three lanes: account governance (custom roles, passkeys), workflow primitives (wait-for-event, branch rebasing), and data ingress (Amplitude, Clay). The newest entry adds granular custom roles, which closes the last obvious gap in account-level access control. Alongside that, the in-product agent gained analytics, letting teams interrogate delivery performance without building reports.
What is ScreenshotOne?
ScreenshotOne grinds out reliability and quietly tailors output for AI workflows
ScreenshotOne ships a steady stream of small, focused improvements to its rendering API — cache reliability, full-page stitching fixes, banner blocking, and admin and notification conveniences. The one strategic thread is tooling aimed at AI analysis, like splitting full-page captures into slices.

Knock

Knock is hardening for enterprise buyers while its agent takes over the analysis work.
◆ Current state
Knock ships weekly, in small, legible increments across three lanes: account governance (custom roles, passkeys), workflow primitives (wait-for-event, branch rebasing), and data ingress (Amplitude, Clay). The newest entry adds granular custom roles, which closes the last obvious gap in account-level access control. Alongside that, the in-product agent gained analytics, letting teams interrogate delivery performance without building reports.
◆ Where it's heading
Two arcs run in parallel. The infrastructure lane is buying enterprise credibility — roles, passkeys, audit-grade permissions — the checklist items that decide procurement rather than daily use. The data lane keeps widening what can trigger a workflow: product analytics from Amplitude, enriched rows from Clay, internal Slack channels as a destination. Together they push Knock from a notification API toward the messaging control plane, with the agent as the layer that explains what the plane did.
◆ Prediction
Expect the roles work to continue into audit logs or scoped API keys, since granular permissions without an activity trail is an incomplete enterprise story. More data sources are likely on the same cadence, with the CRM and warehouse categories the obvious remaining gaps.

ScreenshotOne grinds out reliability and quietly tailors output for AI workflows
◆ Current state
ScreenshotOne ships a steady stream of small, focused improvements to its rendering API — cache reliability, full-page stitching fixes, banner blocking, and admin and notification conveniences. The one strategic thread is tooling aimed at AI analysis, like splitting full-page captures into slices.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is maturing as dependable infrastructure rather than chasing big features, with incremental quality and rendering-fidelity work dominating. A light but recurring nod to AI use cases — slicing for analysis, agent integrations — hints at where new demand is coming from.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued reliability and rendering-fidelity fixes plus more features framed around feeding screenshots into AI pipelines; nothing in the recent cadence suggests a larger directional change.
