Every AI agent session starts from scratch scanning, guessing, relearning things your org already knows. You're paying for that orientation loop every single time. We measured the hidden tax at Spotify and then we fixed it. Here's how hubs.li/Q04x2SLp0

One prompt. The agent pulls Portal context before it touches the codebase 🎯 🔗 Service ownership. Dependencies. Architecture. All there before the first response. No exploring. No guessing. The context came to the agent. 🚀 Portal workspace → Xirp session → grounded immediately. hubs.li/Q04wYYnf0 Try it → hubs.li/Q04wYYmX0

We've had 7 Xirp releases this week. Here's a quick look at a few: → Passage-level review — select parts of an agent's response, comment, send it back → Bulk worktree cleanup — find stale worktrees, see what's merged, remove in one click → Visual refresh — new header, menus, separate app + terminal themes Plus: grid resize no longer deletes sessions, and Portal creds moved to OS secure storage. Check out the full changelog at hubs.li/Q04wLRp_0 or try Xirp for yourself at hubs.li/Q04wLRk60.

Fleetshift is now GA in Spotify Portal. You describe the change once and Fleetshift rolls it out across your fleet: targeting, creating PRs, and tracking them. Deterministic recipes for the predictable stuff. Honk, our AI coding agent, for everything that isn't. We built this because a Java runtime migration once took 8 months and about 2,000 pull requests. Now a framework release reaches 70% adoption in under a week. When Log4j hit, 80% of production services were patched within 9 hours. → hubs.li/Q04qhY400
