It's been a big summer for SWIRL. On July 15 we shipped SWIRL 5, and since then we've been rolling out the pieces that make it useful in real workflows: an MCP server your agents can call directly, a Slack integration, a one-click Railway deploy, and the feature at the center of it all - the canonical document finder.
A year ago, "federated search across your systems, then re-rank the results" was a product you could sell. Today it's table stakes - everything finds the document. The interesting question moved: which of the versions you found is the one your organization actually stands behind?
We put together a full roundup covering SWIRL 5, the canonical document finder, the MCP server and Claude Code plugin, the Slack integration, self-deploy on Railway, and the rest of the summer's feature drops (Fetch More federated search, Select Items RAG mode, the SWIRL 5 Assistant, Insight Yield analytics, and the new connector/SSO walkthroughs).
