Monthly index

AI PMS Index: August 2026

Recorded . Every source below was fetched by the scheduled run on that date; nothing here was written from memory, and no capability cell in the index moved because of it.

Everything this index recorded across 11 monitored release surfaces in September 2026, and — the part that matters more — everything it did not.

Every source cited below was re-fetched on 1 September 2026, when this roundup was assembled. A source that could not be read on that date is named as unread rather than counted as quiet.

What didn't change

These monitored platforms produced nothing this index could record as an AI capability change in September 2026. Naming them is the point: a quiet month is information a vendor will never publish about itself.

  • Boom — its monitored release surface could not be read from a server on 2026-09-01, so this month records no reading rather than a quiet month. That is our limitation, not a finding about the product.
  • iGMS — its monitored release surface was read on 2026-09-01 and carried nothing this index could record as an AI capability change.
  • Jurny — its monitored release surface was read on 2026-09-01 and carried nothing this index could record as an AI capability change.
  • Lodgify — its monitored release surface could not be read from a server on 2026-09-01, so this month records no reading rather than a quiet month. That is our limitation, not a finding about the product.
  • OwnerRez — its monitored release surface was read on 2026-09-01 and carried nothing this index could record as an AI capability change.
  • Smoobu — its monitored release surface was read on 2026-09-01 and carried nothing this index could record as an AI capability change.
  • Uplisting — its monitored release surface was read on 2026-09-01 and carried nothing this index could record as an AI capability change.
  • Zeevou — its monitored release surface was read on 2026-09-01 and carried nothing this index could record as an AI capability change.

Platforms with no monitorable release record

Of the 12 platforms in this index, 1 publish no dated release surface we can monitor at all. They cannot appear in either section above, and that absence is recorded here every month rather than being quietly dropped.

  • Zugrow — Publishes no changelog, release notes or dated product-update feed that we could find. This is the operator's own product, and it is held to exactly this standard: no published changelog, so no monitorable record.

How this was assembled

A scheduled job fetches each monitored surface, compares a hash of its text against the previous copy, and drafts a candidate entry only where the text moved. Every candidate is discarded unless it cites a page fetched in the same run, dates the observation to the day it was read, and describes what the page states rather than what we think of the vendor. Nothing here edits an existing page, and no capability cell in the matrix moves without a human re-check.

Sources read for this entry

What this entry is, and is not.It is a dated reading of a vendor’s own published page. It is not a re-verification of the capability matrix, and it does not change any cell there — that happens on a human re-check under the 90-day rule. If a figure here is wrong, the corrections policy applies to it exactly as it applies to everything else on this site.
