Nostra | Product Roadmap Q4 2026
Product Roadmap · Q4 2026 · Updated September 19, 2026

Five agents on duty. Three more on the way.

Dash, Knox, Sherlock, Crumble and Patch are all live on customer storefronts today, and three new products join them this quarter. This page shows what each one does today and what is landing before the end of the year, kept separate so you can tell the difference.

Live today, running in production Coming this quarter  October through December, timing is a target rather than a release date
01Edge Delivery

Dash, the Speed Agent.

Monitors your site around the clock and accelerates every page at the edge
+47%
faster load times
Live today

Page and asset acceleration

Served from 300+ edge locations, with AI-selected caching of dynamic components.

Speed analytics in the portal

Real-user performance data on how your storefront is actually loading.

Change alerts

Notification when speed moves, and what caused it.

Coming this quarter

See what your scripts cost you

A new view in the portal that shows every script loading on your storefront: when each one fires, how long it blocks, and which app it belongs to. The usual answer to “why is my store slow?” is a third-party app nobody remembered installing.

Publish without the manual step

Content and theme changes go live on their own. No more remembering to clear the cache after every update.

02Edge Protect

Knox, the Bot Agent.

The bouncer of the ecommerce world, always at the door
10B+
bots blocked annually
Live today

Self-serve custom rules

Third-generation rule builder. Write, tune and ship rules without an engineer.

Bot analytics

Overview and Investigate views: traffic mix, what was blocked, and where it came from.

Rate limiting

First-class controls for scraping and high-volume abuse.

Live attack alerts

Notification the moment an attack starts.

Good bots still get through

Verified agents like ChatGPT and Claude are allowed by policy, not blocked by accident.

Coming this quarter

Behavioral detection

Classifying a request by how it behaves, not only by where it came from.

In-portal bot assistant

Ask what a traffic pattern means and which rule to apply, inside the portal.

Weekly attack recaps

A regular written summary alongside the real-time alerts.

03Edge Detect

Sherlock, the AI Discovery Agent.

AI agents are already shopping your store. Sherlock identifies every one of them
100%
of traffic verified at the edge
Live today

Every crawler identified

Each bot seen, verified and logged as it hits the edge.

Answer-engine support

Live edge support for AEO partner products since September.

Real-time feed to your stack

Verified agent traffic streamed to the tools you already run.

Nothing scheduled this quarter

Sherlock is doing its job.

It needs no changes right now. Our Q4 engineering is going to the other agents and to Agent Ready, which is built on the verified traffic data Sherlock already produces.

04Edge ID

Crumble, the Cookie Agent.

Never lets a customer identity expire
2+ years
of cookie life, up from one week
Live today

Extended cookie lifetime

From roughly a week to two years and beyond.

Identity recovery

Lost identities recovered automatically rather than written off.

Works with your stack

Meta, Google, Klaviyo and GA4 without replacing your analytics.

Coming this quarter

Your identity settings, self-serve

See and change your cookie and identity configuration yourself, instead of asking us to do it.

05Edge Assurance

Patch, the QA Agent.

Walks your entire customer journey on real desktop and mobile devices
First
bugs caught before customers file them
Live today

Full journey walks

Homepage through checkout, on real devices rather than emulators.

Bugs filed with evidence

Reproduction steps and video attached to every issue.

Recurring speed and QA reports

A regular written read on what to fix next.

Coming this quarter

Always-on journey testing

Your critical paths checked continuously rather than on a report cycle, so a broken checkout surfaces in hours instead of days.

Your own test cases

Add the journeys that matter most to your business and have them watched alongside the standard set.

New this quarter

Three products joining the fleet.

Before the end of the year.

New productfirst customers in October

Edge Test

A/B testing tools normally load as a script in your theme, which costs you page weight and gives shoppers the flicker of a page rearranging itself mid-load. Edge Test runs the testing platform you already use at the edge instead, so the variant is decided before the page ever reaches the browser.

Your existing testing tool

An integration, not a replacement. Keep the platform your team already knows and the experiments already running in it.

No flicker

The variant is chosen at the edge, so shoppers never see the original page repaint into the test version.

No page-weight penalty

Testing stops competing with the speed work Dash is doing on the same storefront.

New productlaunching this quarter

Agent Ready

AI assistants are becoming a real way shoppers find products, and most storefronts were never built to be read by one. Agent Ready scores how legible your store is to an AI agent, then does the work to raise that score.

A score for your storefront

A single measure of how well an AI agent can read your products, pricing and policies.

A target of 80+

We will get any store that asks for it to a score of 80 or better.

Handled at the edge

No theme rebuild and no engineering time on your side.

Built on what Sherlock sees

The same verified agent traffic data already flowing through Edge Detect tells us what to fix.

Score your own site in seconds

We measure against Cloudflare's public Agent Readiness Score, which checks a storefront across discoverability, content accessibility, bot controls and agentic commerce standards. Run it yourself before we talk. It is free, and it is the same number we work against.

Cookie Consent

Most consent banners are a third-party script sitting in your theme, blocking the render and slowing the first page a shopper sees. Ours runs at the edge, where it costs you nothing.

Consent without the render block

The banner is served at the edge rather than loaded from a third-party script in your theme.

No theme install

Nothing to add to your code, and nothing to reinstall after a theme update.

Works with the identity layer

Consent decisions and Crumble's identity handling stay in step, rather than fighting each other.

Across all five

Two things for the whole fleet.

One portal for all five agents

Reorganizing the portal around the full agent fleet rather than around Edge Delivery, so every product reports in the same place, the same way.

Peak season comes first

Black Friday and Cyber Monday take priority over everything in the Next column. If something slips because we are protecting your peak traffic, that is the right trade.

How we decide what to build

Three principles govern this page.

Solve it, dogfood it, then ship it

New capability gets used internally and tested hard before it reaches a customer, then rolls out incrementally. It is easier to earn trust with a good product than to rebuild it after a bad one.

Build what customers ask for

We work from the feedback we actually get and dig into the pain point behind a request before committing engineering to it.

Leverage our edge

We build what Nostra is uniquely positioned to build. Every item here has to answer why we have a right to win it.

Put your agents to work.

One DNS-level change, no code, and the fleet clocks in. Two weeks of observation while the agents learn your store, then full acceleration and enforcement. Join the 300+ brands already running on Nostra.
