Deepnote
Deepnote reshapes the data notebook into agent-operable infrastructure.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Omni and VWO — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Omni keeps welding AI into the BI modeling layer, one weekly drop at a time
Omni ships weekly, and the throughline is AI moving from bolt-on to default: AI-powered visualization annotations and the AI Hub have reached general availability, and external AI context now pulls from Notion. Alongside that runs steady modeling and embedding work — calculation pushdown, dynamic top-N parameterization, approximate aggregates, and timezone overrides in embed URLs.
VWO consolidates experimentation, analytics, and AI as the AB Tasty merger surfaces
VWO is broadening from A/B testing into a wider optimization suite: VWO AI to compress insight-to-execution, behavior analytics linked directly to feature experimentation, the VWO Pulse Voice-of-Customer product, and a Go SDK for backend feature flags. Operationally, the AB Tasty merger is now visible — the app is moving from app.vwo.com to app.wingify.com.

The product is converging an analyst-facing BI tool with an agent-assisted one: a Modeling Agent with skills, AI context-management controls, and access-gated AI grants suggest Omni wants AI that respects the semantic model rather than bypassing it. The non-AI work (compute routing, CLI OAuth, publish-draft APIs) is hardening the platform underneath so the AI features have a governed surface to act on.
Expect the next releases to keep promoting AI features from preview to GA and to deepen the Modeling Agent's reach into governed datasets; further external-context integrations beyond Notion are the likeliest near-term add.
VWO is broadening from A/B testing into a wider optimization suite: VWO AI to compress insight-to-execution, behavior analytics linked directly to feature experimentation, the VWO Pulse Voice-of-Customer product, and a Go SDK for backend feature flags. Operationally, the AB Tasty merger is now visible — the app is moving from app.vwo.com to app.wingify.com.
Direction is a unified experimentation-and-insight platform that connects the 'what' (experiments, feature releases) to the 'why' (behavior analytics, VoC feedback), with AI shortening the analysis loop. The merger layers consolidation and infrastructure alignment on top of the feature expansion.
Expect tighter integration between VWO AI, behavior analytics, and feature experimentation, plus continued post-merger platform and domain consolidation.
