Launch of the Week
Convex, a backend-as-a-service platform, launched AI Gateway for paid plans, handling model credentials and charging model usage on the Convex bill without a gateway markup. Compared with a separate OpenRouter integration, consolidated setup and usage attribution could simplify operations, but hitting the configured spending-disable threshold stops the team's projects as well as the gateway.
Company Launch
Eclatira, a real-time voice and video agent API, launched with camera and screen input, spoken responses and connections to customer-defined tools, earning second place on Product Hunt that day. Combining these capabilities behind an API and embeddable interface gives teams comparing Vapi or Tavus another route to adding conversational experiences to their products.
Enterprise Watch
Clerk, an authentication and user management platform, added multiple enterprise connections per organization, including users managed by several directories. This addresses mergers and identity-provider migrations for teams evaluating WorkOS, although removing access in one directory does not deactivate someone still authorized by another.
GTM Trends
Clerk, an authentication and user management platform, made Client ID Metadata Documents generally available so every application can admit compatible OAuth clients through a URL-based identity without a support request. Self-service access removes an adoption step against Auth0, while the feature remains off by default and administrators retain client-admission controls.

- ✨ Paddle, a merchant of record and subscription billing provider, expanded event and notification filtering to IDs, email addresses and partial values. Finding related payment events becomes easier, but partial searches need at least three characters and event date bounds are exclusive; compare Stripe.
- ✨ Paddle, a merchant of record and subscription billing provider, added scheduled-change filters to subscription reports. Exporting upcoming cancellations could help teams target retention work, but a scheduled cancellation remains an active subscription until it takes effect; compare Polar.
- ✨ Mux, a video API platform, exposed rendition playing-time data through six API endpoints, extending previously dashboard-only analysis. Teams can automate comparisons by country, player and device, although turning those metrics into encoding decisions still requires analysis; compare Bitmovin.
