What is Pressable?

Ten days of bulk operations, then the AI assistant got the keys to multi-site access control.

Pressable is shipping into MyPressable at a pace of roughly one feature every two days, and the run is unusually coherent: bulk plugin install and activation, bulk theme install and delete, bulk site deletion with multi-layer confirmation gates, DDEV setup managed from the panel, and two separate additions to the AI assistant's collaborator management capabilities. Note that the feed publishes title-only excerpts with no body text, so the titles are the entire record.

What is Resend?

Resend is wiring itself into every agent runtime it can reach, and now adding the controls to stop a send.

Most recent entries are about who or what can call Resend rather than about email delivery itself: OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, a remote MCP server tracking the current spec, a Codex plugin, a one-click Claude connector, and support for the Agent Plugins Standard. The email product still gets attention — suppressions, template folders, a compatibility checker in the code editor, and now cancellation of scheduled or queued Broadcasts from the API. Entries are terse one-liners, so the shipping cadence reads faster than the surface area actually changing.

Pressable vs Resend: editorial side-by-side

6.3

Ten days of bulk operations, then the AI assistant got the keys to multi-site access control.

◆ Current state

Pressable is shipping into MyPressable at a pace of roughly one feature every two days, and the run is unusually coherent: bulk plugin install and activation, bulk theme install and delete, bulk site deletion with multi-layer confirmation gates, DDEV setup managed from the panel, and two separate additions to the AI assistant's collaborator management capabilities. Note that the feed publishes title-only excerpts with no body text, so the titles are the entire record.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is being rebuilt around fleet management rather than single-site administration. Every bulk operation added in this window assumes the customer runs many sites and does the same thing to all of them, and the confirmation gates on bulk deletion show the team is aware of what that leverage cuts both ways. Running alongside it, the AI assistant has moved in two weeks from collaborator management tools to multi-site collaborator management — from advising to acting across the fleet.

◆ Prediction

Expect the assistant's reach to keep extending across the bulk operations already built, since the panel now has fleet-wide primitives for plugins, themes and sites that an assistant could invoke the same way it now invokes collaborator management.

6.3

Resend is wiring itself into every agent runtime it can reach, and now adding the controls to stop a send.

◆ Current state

Most recent entries are about who or what can call Resend rather than about email delivery itself: OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, a remote MCP server tracking the current spec, a Codex plugin, a one-click Claude connector, and support for the Agent Plugins Standard. The email product still gets attention — suppressions, template folders, a compatibility checker in the code editor, and now cancellation of scheduled or queued Broadcasts from the API. Entries are terse one-liners, so the shipping cadence reads faster than the surface area actually changing.

◆ Where it's heading

Resend is treating agents as the next class of sending client and building the authorization and discovery plumbing they need before that traffic arrives. The progression is legible: authenticate third parties (OAuth), be callable (MCP), be installable per vendor (Codex, Claude), then be installable by standard. The Cancel Broadcast API is the first sign of the next phase — once non-human callers can schedule sends, the ability to revoke one programmatically stops being a convenience.

◆ Prediction

Authorization and discovery are covered and reversibility has now started; the remaining gap is what an agent is permitted to send in the first place, so scoped per-agent sending limits or approval gates before dispatch are the natural next piece.
