Liferay announces Liferay Content Marketing Platform

Liferay, a provider of Digital Experience Platforms (DXPs), released Liferay Content Marketing Platform (CMP), a new offering that gives marketing teams a unified place to plan campaign content, coordinate work, manage content from brief to launch, and measure performance.

Marketing teams building and launching campaigns typically have to manage multiple tools. Content begins in the CMS of one vendor before moving to the campaign management tool of another via a connection layer that has to be configured and maintained. The brief, the audience, the approval status, don’t reliably cross from one system to the other, and duplicate permissioning systems and data that has to sync between platforms make the problem worse.

Because Liferay CMP runs natively on Liferay CMS, they share the same data model, permissions, and publishing infrastructure, with no connection to configure or maintain. Content created in Liferay CMS is immediately available in campaigns, and campaign tasks link directly to content assets, so approval status and campaign context carry through automatically as content moves from brief to publication. Digital asset management capabilities are built into Liferay CMS, so brand assets are accessible within the campaign workflow without a separate vendor or integration to manage.

WisdomAI and Teradata partner

WisdomAI announced its Agentic Analytics platform is now embedded natively in Teradata’s new agentic coworker for enterprise data work, Tera, available within Teradata’s Autonomous Knowledge Platform in the fall of 2026. The integration brings WisdomAI’s deterministic agentic analytics platform to Teradata’s enterprise customers, letting business users talk to their data in natural language, build live apps from a single prompt, and deploy proactive AI agents that monitor KPIs, surface root causes, and drive the next action across structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data alike.

WisdomAI was built for the architecture enterprises run: data that lives in many places, under many controls, and rarely moves. Its architecture reasons across structured warehouses, semi-structured logs, and unstructured documents in a single query without copying, re-pipelining, or exposing data to external models. Inside Tera, WisdomAI executes queries directly on Teradata’s governed data foundation, with security, lineage, and access controls intact, making agentic BI viable on regulated, high-performance workloads off-limits to AI-driven analytics.

The integration also brings WisdomAI together with Tera Context Engine, which gives agents governed business context including industry data models, canonical metrics, business logic, lineage, and policies. Pre-curated definitions and semantic context allow more work to move from probabilistic reasoning to deterministic execution.

Fivetran + dbt Labs announces new capabilities

Fivetran + dbt Labs released dbt v2 and dbt State, delivering more speed and cost optimization, and introduced Fivetran Context Layer, new dbt Wizard experiences, dbt Charts, and an open lakehouse vision for greater flexibility across storage and compute.

dbt v2 is a Rust rewrite of the dbt engine built for the scale that teams run at today and for how agents write SQL. It parses a 10,000-model project faster and gives teams and agents real-time feedback, surfacing errors, column checks, and lineage before anything runs. With this release dbt is one engine with two versions: dbt Core v1, the python implementation, is dbt v1. Fusion, the Rust implementation, has become dbt v2. Both versions remain Apache 2.0-licensed and security-supported.

dbt State determines what has changed by checking warehouse metadata and model SQL, then builds, skips, clones or defers each run accordingly. This simplifies orchestration and allows engineers to iterate without complex development rituals, while reducing unnecessary warehouse compute.

Fivetran + dbt Labs’ vision for Open Data Infrastructure centers on a customer-owned data layer built on open formats, avoiding vendor lock-in for storage and compute so organizations can store data once and access it through different engines for different use cases.

Show me the work: Overcoming AI’s impostor syndrome

When AI is involved in content development, readers don’t know who the real author is. It’s time to offer traceability through version histories.

The well-deserved lack of trust in AI is a serious threat to its growth, though there will be increasing efforts to find solutions for different applications.Michael Andrews argues that for GenAI content applications, there is role for blockchain ledgers to track provenance and content changes.

Algolia and Vercel bring AI-powered search natively to the Vercel Marketplace

Algolia, an AI Search and Retrieval platform, announced a native integration with Vercel, an agentic infrastructure platform where humans and agents build software together. The integration lets developers provision an Algolia application directly from the Vercel dashboard turning search into a single deployment step instead of a separate setup project.

From the Algolia listing on the Vercel Marketplace, developers click “Install” to trigger an OAuth handshake between the two platforms, replacing the need to create a separate Algolia account. A setup wizard then walks through selecting a hosting region, optionally activating the Algolia Crawler for a Vercel domain, and choosing a plan.

Once confirmed, Algolia provisions the application automatically, and its credentials are synced directly into the environment variables of the connected Vercel project. Usage is billed through the developer’s existing Vercel invoice rather than a separate Algolia one. The Algolia dashboard remains a single click away via Vercel SSO for teams that want to browse indices, tune relevance, or configure the crawler.

Vercel’s Marketplace supports two integration models: connectable-account integrations, which link Vercel to an account a developer already holds elsewhere, and native integrations, which are provisioned and managed directly from the Vercel dashboard, with billing consolidated into the developer’s existing Vercel account.

Storyblok introduces Storyblok Agents

Storyblok announced the launch of Storyblok Agents, an AI-powered content operations layer built directly into the CMS.

With Storyblok Agents, content teams have a conversational way to research and work with their content. For example, they can ask to see content that is stale, duplicated, missing translations, or needs more work before it’s published. They are then able to act on that information in the same conversation and build custom agents for any recurring task that can be scheduled to run automatically.

Teams have the ability to choose which AI provider and model is used, and are able to use their own AI credentials to have control over the experience and token spend. Storyblok also offers an MCP Server that enables teams to use agents outside of the CMS by giving any compatible AI agent direct, structured access to a Storyblok workspace.

Storyblok Agents can be activated through Storyblok Labs on Growth plans and above, and an interactive demo is available.

Fimo launches autonomous websites, making AI code editable and self-improving

Fimo, an AI CMS built by the team behind Strapi, launched today. The platform works with any AI-generated code, from Claude Code to Codex, turning the code into self-optimizing autonomous websites.

Fimo’s native and custom agents work around the clock to publish SEO content, build internal links, fix schema issues, translate content, refresh stale content, and flag performance issues. Updates can be pushed through review processes and custom workflows, ensuring teams get all the agentic help they need, without humans fully exiting the loop.

Every agent action lands in a pull request, runs in an isolated environment, and respects the same role-based permissions as a human editor. Nothing reaches production without review.

Fimo works with any AI coding tool and any frontend framework. Whether you’re using Cursor and Svelte, or Codex and Nuxt.

Teams don’t need to change their development workflows either, as Fimo becomes a transparent layer over your PRs, reviews, and CI. Agents open branches and pull requests like any teammate normally would. Senior team members still gate every merge, and your repo stays the source of truth.

Opinion / Analysis

Stop getting good at protocols. Get good at agent experience.

As Sean Roberts points out, the mistake of thinking a tool is a strategy  has plagued organizations, and embarrassed (at best) decision-makers for years. It’s a category mistake, not a question of how good or useful a tool is. Roberts provides some pointers on creating an agent experience strategy. (9 min)

AI is becoming a monoculture

When everything reasons the same way, everything fails the same way

We’ve known of language model collapse — degradation caused by AI data recursively populating their own models as well AI data from any other language models they can find. Ayoub Nainia makes a compelling case for treating “model diversity as something worth protecting on purpose.” (7 min)
