Stack Internal Highlights: 2025 Developments
The year 2025 was notable for Stack Internal, facilitating knowledge sharing across over 1,000 instances. More than 100,000 users monthly across over 100 Business and Enterprise organizations utilized the platform. These users generated more than one million meaningful interactions each month, including asking questions, providing answers, upvoting, and curating knowledge to advance work.
To maintain this progress, numerous platform enhancements were introduced, aiming to simplify sharing, improve insight discovery, and scale collaboration. Some key features that supported community growth in 2025 include:
- Slack + Microsoft Teams digests: Weekly insights, such as top contributors, unanswered questions, and key metrics, were integrated directly into team workflows via channel and personal digests.
- Executive report: A redesigned dashboard for leadership offered trend snapshots, subject matter expert highlights, and engagement breakdowns.
- Backstage.io integration: Enhanced search capabilities, in-context question submission, and a dedicated Stack Internal hub were embedded within developer portals.
- Voting enhancements: Prompts to “Vote” on unanswered questions and tooltip nudges were implemented to increase overall engagement.
- Threaded comments: A more organized and connected conversation experience was introduced, featuring a redesigned interface with @ mentions and reply tracking.
- LangChain loader + Stack Internal SDK: Support for AI-native integrations and custom applications was provided through the v3 API, SDK, and a plug-and-play document loader.
- MCP server: Secure, bi-directional connections were established between generative AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) and internal knowledge bases, ensuring grounded responses and continuous knowledge improvement.
Additionally, a new, AI-first direction was embraced, marked by the rebranding of Stack Overflow for Teams to Stack Internal. This change included a new name and updated visual identity, better reflecting its purpose to power AI, expedite delivery, and safeguard an organization’s trusted knowledge.
Looking Ahead to 2026: A Smarter, More Connected Stack Internal
While 2025 focused on solidifying Stack Internal’s foundation, 2026 aims to revolutionize knowledge flow throughout organizations. A central development in this evolution is “Knowledge Ingestion,” a significant initiative.
Knowledge Ingestion will provide teams with an effective method to integrate valuable content from existing systems—such as Confluence, Slack, and Microsoft Teams—directly into Stack Internal. The objective is clear: remove information silos, consolidate reliable data, and enable every team to quickly resolve issues using Stack Internal.
This initiative is currently in progress, with a multi-month pilot involving a select group of engaged customers who are collaborating to test initial workflows and refine the final experience.
For a more detailed understanding of Knowledge Ingestion’s capabilities, an on-demand webinar is available.
The year 2026 is expected to introduce further methods to enhance knowledge discoverability, durability, and readiness for the AI-driven workflows that teams depend on.
The journey continues, with anticipation for increased curiosity, collaboration, and contributions in 2026.
