What is Sanity?
Sanity keeps hardening its agent tooling and Media Library while Studio sheds legacy weight
Sanity is shipping across four surfaces in parallel: the Media Library, Sanity Studio, the React App SDK, and its MCP server. The Media Library is maturing into a full asset manager, richer metadata across sidebars, in-use references that now span drafts and content releases, and video versioning. Studio is cleaning up legacy Portable Text editor internals, and the SDK and MCP server keep gaining developer- and agent-facing hooks.
What is Speakeasy?
Gram is maturing from MCP tooling into a governed platform for running agents at work.
Speakeasy's Gram platform is shipping near-daily, version-tagged releases focused on agent governance and operations. The recent window adds RBAC scopes for agent-session transcripts, durable block pages for risk-engine denials, an agent-type session filter, audit-log subject linking, user-session/identity management, and event-driven agent triggers. The work reads as building the control and observability plane around agents teams are already running.

Sanity

Sanity keeps hardening its agent tooling and Media Library while Studio sheds legacy weight
◆ Current state
Sanity is shipping across four surfaces in parallel: the Media Library, Sanity Studio, the React App SDK, and its MCP server. The Media Library is maturing into a full asset manager, richer metadata across sidebars, in-use references that now span drafts and content releases, and video versioning. Studio is cleaning up legacy Portable Text editor internals, and the SDK and MCP server keep gaining developer- and agent-facing hooks.
◆ Where it's heading
The through-line is AI-agent readiness: a new skills install command, MCP server tools for feedback, schema deploy, and multi-document patching, plus docs aimed explicitly at coding agents and app builders. Alongside that, the content layer itself is being productized, @sanity/presets ships ready-made schema types to cut modelling boilerplate. Sanity is positioning as the content backend that both humans and agents operate.
◆ Prediction
Expect further MCP server and skills iteration plus continued Media Library depth; the removal of legacy Portable Text data attributes signals more editor-internals migrations to come.

Gram is maturing from MCP tooling into a governed platform for running agents at work.
◆ Current state
Speakeasy's Gram platform is shipping near-daily, version-tagged releases focused on agent governance and operations. The recent window adds RBAC scopes for agent-session transcripts, durable block pages for risk-engine denials, an agent-type session filter, audit-log subject linking, user-session/identity management, and event-driven agent triggers. The work reads as building the control and observability plane around agents teams are already running.
◆ Where it's heading
Gram is moving up the stack from MCP server tooling toward a full agent-operations platform: identity and session management, fine-grained access scopes, a risk engine that explains its denials, and now triggers that let Slack, Linear, and GitHub events drive agents. The throughline is governance plus reactivity — making agents both auditable and able to act on real-world events inside an org's existing tools.
◆ Prediction
Expect deeper governance (more granular scopes, policy audiences, audit tooling) alongside more trigger sources and orchestration, as Gram positions itself as the operations layer for enterprise agent deployments.
