Semantic search now covers Google Drive and Granola
Welcome to the Airbyte August 2026 newsletter. Two things led the month: the release of Airbyte 2.2, and semantic search availability in Google Drive and Granola.
To follow the progress of the community in commoditizing data integration!
Join the 100,000+ builders in our community using Airbyte to build better Agents and Data Pipelines.

Welcome to the Airbyte August 2026 newsletter. Two things led the month: the release of Airbyte 2.2, and semantic search availability in Google Drive and Granola.

This month, agents got more ways to act on your data, not just read it. Write operations landed in the Salesforce and HubSpot connectors, semantic search arrived for Gong and Linea

Welcome to the Airbyte June 2026 Newsletter! We're going over our latest product updates for Airbyte Agents and Data Replication. The highlights include:

Today we're launching Airbyte Agents. It's the biggest step we've taken as a company since we open-sourced our first connector six years ago.

2026 is zipping along, and we're shipping faster than ever!

As part of our ongoing work to make agentic systems truly production-ready, Agent Connectors are now available for teams building with agents.

Thanks for reading this installment of the Airbyte Newsletter! We have some incredibly exciting updates to share with you, including:
