this is a cool and practical intro to Jev and how you can use it to make those agents faster and cheaper
Sanity@sanity.io · 2w agoWatching agents think feels like waiting for images to load pixel by pixel on a 56k modem. John on our team got a docs agent to a 0.5s median answer with prefetching, speculation, and fewer round trips to the LLM. Web perf tricks, applied to agents. www.sanity.io/engineering/...
another instant classic on the sanity engineering blog!
Cody@codey.bsky.social · 3w agoI stopped using Safari @sanity.io because of wobbly spinners. Now I can use it again thanks to zoom banter & humans working together, & writing a @github.com PR _by hand_ (NO AI)! It didn't require convincing @jensimmons.bsky.social to add no-wobbles to Baseline 2027! www.sanity.io/engineering/...
Workflows is in beta Draft → AI review → Legal → Publish Defined in TypeScript, queried with GROQ, operated by agents and humans. Try it now 👉🏻 go.sanity.io/workflows
wobbly safari spinners are solved internally soon on sanity.io/engineering

Deep dives, post-mortems, and hard-won lessons from the engineers building Sanity.

Everything we shipped at Everything *[NYC] 2026. Seven updates that give people and agents more context and control over content operations. go.sanity.io/dEFFszc
We just published a new engineering blog post on @sanity.io on how we cut our Grafana Mimir hosting bill almost in half. Much kudos to Josh and the SRE team on this one! www.sanity.io/engineering/...
How we cut our Mimir bill (nearly) in half | Sanity
Two infrastructure changes, zonal cache placement and arm64 CPUs, cut our self-hosted Mimir bill nearly in half while reducing latency. Here's how.

Get through security reviews faster. The new Security tab in Manage gives you a centralized view of security configurations across every Sanity project. Find project members, long-lived API tokens, risky CORS configs, and which datasets are public. Free for all users.

How well do agents use your design system? | Sanity
We figured out how to run agent evals for design systems, so you can too.

Your design system doesn’t work well with agents. Maybe it does. Either way, are you sure? We’ve been crankin’ on this at Sanity. We made a tool to test agents with our design system. And not just our system, yours should work too. Read all about it here: www.sanity.io/engineering/...

discovered today that the @sanity.io docs team has started reporting on how they improve their own Sanity experience. some real good nuggets here www.sanity.io/docs/changel...

This year Everything NYC is about Powering Intelligence, so we're giving you an afternoon to build it. We're running a workshop the day before. Ask the Sanity team questions as they come up, see how they actually approach things, and get an early look at what's coming next. 🎫 luma.com/sanity-pwc9
@sanity.io studio finally has out-of-the-box table support. that's huge. (and the underlying Container API support for PTE is an even huger unlock for inline editing of nested data structures)
Christian Grøngaard@hamburger.cloud · 3mo agoToday, I helped ship native Portable Text tables in @sanity.io Studio: www.sanity.io/docs/changel... Portable Text always supported nested structures, but making them inline editable was a whole new beast, one we've been chipping at since vendoring Slate in Feb. Gonna talk more about this soon!
"The bot actually knows who you are, and that has a huge impact on the answers." That's the whole idea behind the support bot we rebuilt with Sanity Context. The goal: more than half of you get unstuck without waiting on us, and a Support person stays one message away whenever you need them.
Karaoke still runs on technology from the '80s. 🛼 What if we rebuilt it with Web Audio, AI, open-source models, and modern web APIs? Watch @monteslu.com give one of the most delightfully nerdy talks from CascadiaJS 2026. youtu.be/wk2Fj2H5eoI
see you in nyc?
Sanity@sanity.io · 3mo agoEverything *[NYC] is back. Sept 9. Agents, content ops, and what it takes to build and run both. On stage: Vercel, Braze, Semafor, exe.dev, plus our co-founders. Closes with a live laser installation by Shohei Fujimoto. Free to attend, spots are limited: go.sanity.io/xoo4AtO
found an old @sanity.io demo from 2018 i did with custom validation and... tensorflow.js(?) where publishing is blocked unless there is a human face present. hits different now.
In which I sprint through 30 years of web development to show that no, things weren't simpler before. And no, we are not back to where we started. And no, tooling doesn't just happen because the previous tooling created new problems. www.knut.fyi/blog/2026-07...

Published a new essay on @sanity.io on how to think about agents and content operations, and why markdown/git ain't it. Also curious: What pains and gains have you noticed when you try to put agents on content ops tasks? www.sanity.io/blog/what-ag...

Of course, we use Sanity at Sanity, curious how? See how our Intranet was built: scheduled + doc-triggered functions, shared layers across apps, and a chatbot added in ~15 min thanks to Sanity Context. Join us for live Q&A and get recipes & starters to make it your own.
Describe your content to an agent, get a real hosted Studio back. The Sanity MCP server can now: 1. create a project 2. deploy a schema 3. deploy a Studio 4. ??? 5. profit!¹ mcp.sanity.io ——— ¹ no dedicated profit tool yet; that one's on you.
If you're looking for a grounded perspective on how coding has changed and how you should think about managing folks who are managing agents who code... then this essay from Vincent is what you should sit down and read over the weekend.
Sanity@sanity.io · 4mo agoOne of our senior engineers writes about 1% of his code by hand. Nine months after going AI-first, Vincent Quigley's team shares a field report: less coding, more orchestration. www.sanity.io/blog/we-dont...

I went to CascadiaJS half-expecting either AI hype or AI fatigue. I found neither, just a room full of working developers, quietly unsure, but building new things with a very familiar mindset. Some mu...
