Every team at Spotify works in a loop of building, testing, and learning.
Confidence has powered the testing part for over a decade.

Now we're expanding it so every experiment, session, and customer conversation helps shape the next decision.

Ever watched an AI agent lose the plot halfway through a task? In the first Dev Mode episode of NerdOut@Spotify, JD, shows how he splits the work across a bunch of agent sessions in Xirp by @Spotify instead. Live demo, our own repos, no slides.

Check out the episode: hubs.li/Q04B2D310

Portal, Xirp, @SpotifyConf, and Spotify for Backstage are now part of something bigger. Meet Spotify Technology: the tools behind @Spotify, together as one system. Proven at Spotify. Now yours. hubs.li/Q04zBzt80

Farewell, September, and hello first-two-days-of-October Xirp releases:

🔀 Switching from Claude Code? Xirp finds your projects and imports 30 days of sessions, nothing lost!

⏪ See where your time and spend actually went with Xirp Weekly Rewind

👀 Stay aware without the interrupts thanks to the notification center with digest mode

🙏 Multi-select sessions to archive in bulk instead of one by one

🤖 Let your agents script Xirp directly with Xirp API commands

💫 Spin up a project terminal without booting a coding agent when you just need a shell

Get all this and more with Xirp → hubs.li/Q04z2pzQ0

Request, granted. ✔️
With the Xirp Weekly Rewind ⏪, you can get a weekly look into your sessions, PRs, lines, heatmap, and every $ spent. Your week of AI coding, in a nutshell.

"Just start over with another agent." No. Xirp transfers full session context when you switch. @claudeai to @OpenAI Codex, mid-task, nothing lost.

Try now hubs.ly/Q04y2K3N0

💫 A little end of week wrap up with some Xirp updates (v0.32–v0.35):
→ @Pidotdev coding agent support
→ Worktree search + linked shell terminals from the CLI → Repo insight on first task — starter goals from your codebase
→ Restore from backup when the database breaks → Pinnable toolbar actions
→ CJK input fixes, better session recovery, and notification preferences
Changelog: hubs.li/Q04xTcgV0

How much did your AI agents cost you yesterday? Or the day before? With Xirp, you’ll see costs broken down by agent, model, and day. 
Cost insights live in Xirp. 👀

You asked for more model choice. Here it is. ✨
Xirp by @Spotify now supports @pidotdev, an open-source coding agent with access to a broad range of models, right inside the workflow you already know.

Here's a quick look at this week's Xirp releases:
→ CLI tool — `xirp` command for importing, listing, and messaging sessions from your terminal
→ Browser panel annotations — highlight elements, comment, send to your agent in one go
→ Cost alerts — set a daily spend threshold, get warned before runaway sessions add up

Plus: Mermaid diagrams in the file viewer, Portal connection banner, and interrupted sessions now marked instead of silently lost.

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.

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.

A Claude Code plugin + two declarative agents on Portal by Spotify. Bulk reads and boilerplate route to a cheaper model. Frontier model stays on real problems. 90% token savings, zero infra changes.

hubs.li/Q04wGXl40

We've had 9 Xirp releases over the last week! 🚀

These are just a few:
→ @Cursor_ai is now a supported coding agent
→ Usage & cost tracking — see token spend per session and per day
→ Saved prompts — reusable prompts, global or per-project
→ Workflow status on session cards (backlog → done)

Plus: worktree grouping, terminal file links in the editor, and a fix for worktree deletion removing your entire repo.
