Hi everyone. Welcome to the second day of this cyclone symposium. Most of the day was in the main room, and then they broke for lunch and then went into breakout sessions. So today, couple of things. So following on yesterday's theme, they talked about the psycho studio, which is basically the agentic studio, app studio, Sitecore, connect and marketplace, basically giving the teams a way of building and deploying things, using it to do a lot of the work that you needed to do and giving more control. They also talked about custom SaaS. So here, what they're talking about is building custom apps, connectors, your own AI agents, and basically being able to scale and monetize Marketplace apps are the two major things. I know there's a lot of you went to a couple of sessions as well, but those were main and then, and then they had the cycle preview previews. Yeah, that was a nice one. Yeah, that last year as well. Yeah, right at the end of the essentially, the closing keynotes for day One day two. Yeah, they gave a preview as to stuff that's coming up soon. Yep, they brought in all of the, all the product managers who were responsible. So again, thank them and their teams for doing all the work. And there's a few things that came out of it. One was the AI pathway, yeah, and that was mentioned yesterday. We talked about it, but they actually gave a demo of it, right? Yeah. I mean, it was a recorded demo, but we did have a demo of it. And we got a bit more details into how it can pick up the data, essentially, and then it will do its best guess using AI to map it, yeah. And then it's like a step to process. And then during that step process, you can correct it if it's not quite right, which is what we're saying is very still has a human element to it for refinement and for focus. One of the other things that came out of that was it mentioned that it also takes across the visual components, okay, elements of it, yeah, and I'm not sure if it's gonna take over the entire visual, yeah, or stop it out, or, my understanding, or just stop it out, right? Okay, hidden placeholders, but at least then that gives you something to build on, true and then that, combined with the design studio that we talked about, yeah, for the components, yeah. It makes a big difference at that point, yeah. So you actually stop if they marry both of them together, then you it also moves the components, and then it can be committed back to the repo as well. So that's kind of cool. They also talked about personalization analytics, how to measure analytics at a component level, which is kind of cool. They showed a demo, again, a recorded, pre recorded demo, but how you can capture click scrolls, all of that kind of stuff, even inside of components, which I think is kind of cool. Yeah, I didn't see if there's heat map stuff on there, but yeah, that would be nice if they had that in there. Yeah. We have a, we have a requirement for that on a few projects, yeah. But the Yeah, the analytics look good down to a component level, as you would expect with old XP, when you can track clicks and add a component level, yep. And then, of course, that drives all of that data, then drives back into the AI, yeah, and feeds a customization engine as well, yeah. And all of those agents which are doing whatever it is, and even your own custom agents so you can have it actionable, yeah? And they can give you insights into which components are working, which components are not working as well, yeah, and where further optimizations could be made. Yeah, and then the other one, and I don't really know the technical name for it, with Liz Kim and she showed almost like releases, so you can have, like, an event, date of go live, for instance, of a module or a campaign that you're doing, but everything related to that, whether it's content, different channels, anything and everything, which is the media, all the assets that belong to it, yeah, and all of it will go live at the exact time that you want it to go live again without any intervention. You can set it up that way. We thought that was kind of interesting.

Yeah, I know right now, a lot of people use your cyclone module for very specific publishing, right? Yeah, and the way publishing works right now, or content restrictions work right now, is it's not published at a time it can be published. So this will change things. So that one you know, you get a simply grouped content that you can launch together as an entire campaign. And then secondly, it's down to the second right. So as soon as you say, Okay, I want this to be live at 5pm Yeah, all of that will just be like, like, right, yeah, no publishing or anything. Final action needed. And the other good, nice thing with this is the rollback feature that she mentioned, oh, yeah, just unpublished. To that entire campaign at the same time? Yeah, that was, yeah, that was interesting, yeah, for sure, yeah. And then you talked about vision boards. What was that about?

I want to say vision boards. Yeah, it was more like a visual space that you can collaborate with the team. They used to have, like, an idea and this, yeah, like, like a visual canvas, like the team can go in and put things onto to see how it looks. And just as a, yeah, just as a collaborative, free content collaboration space, right? Yeah. So, so that's interesting. You mentioned you went to another presentation. I think Liz's one I did, yeah, so she did a separate breakout talk on the content service, yeah. And so part of this publishing that we just talked about forms part of the content service. Okay, so that was a really interesting talk, actually. So she was there with somebody from Microsoft, and they're essentially rewriting everything, and they've been working on this already for the past year and a half to move everything to Konabos tv, nice, and that's just going to give huge scale, allow there to be one single, unified database. You don't have to deal with Safra master and web databases, which you know, which makes sense with the publishing, right? Yeah? Because then you're just flicking flags on and off, yeah. cosmosdb is also JSON based. It's really nice and structured. You have to create tables and things like that, yeah? That makes it really easy to work with. It gives them like, some strongly typed data that you can work with, compared to right now, because everything is an item right now, yeah. Which makes it very, very flexible, but very, very weakly typed, yeah. So this will give them flexibility, but still get strong typing. There are some other nice things that they had mentioned, so almost like Git based branching of the content, right? So you can split those out work on from a developer point of view. It's great because I can work on something separate from you, and we don't end up with conflicts, okay? And we just merge it back on, get like, like, yeah. But then you can also set up a preview target or a campaign, 1234, Target, yeah, and then on the other cell in the head out, you can just spin up another instance just to consume that part. Yeah, yeah, just, I mean, and it's easy for sale. It's not like, you know, you're not setting up any new infrastructure, yeah? You just say, okay, use the main branch, but use this tag for the content, and then the content endpoint will have a specific branch name, yeah? And you can just fill that in with a variable. So that makes it very, very flexible. It'll make development super easy. I mean, it is with the front end developers, but this will give them almost separate instances that you can work and not avoid those conflicts that you end up with sometimes. Yeah. So that was really, really neat. And then, yeah, lots of other features in there, just out of cosmosdb includes full text search and somatic search. Oh, wow. But only still be used for the cm, so the internal, internal part in channel, so they'll be that would mean would require solar anymore, yeah, in theory, yeah. But they, she did, also, I spoke to her afterwards, and she did say that for the sites, for the site search, they obviously recommend cycle search, yeah, but there's some really nice integrations, integrations, I want to say, but yeah, smoother flow of the data with cycle search coming as well, so you get full search from that makes sense. Yeah, that's cool. I mean, there's still sessions going on, yeah, and, but they're probably wrapping up. This is probably the last session time anyways, yep. And then there's the symposium party afterwards. Yeah, ready for universal theme park? Yeah, we've got our wristbands ready, right? So all excited. So hopefully that you found this useful, and we'll try to do like a wrap up webinar soon, and soon enough so we can give you more information on like more stuff that we find out. Have a good day. Man. Thanks everyone. Bye.
