LeanData shipped its 9.x release. The LeanData AI Assistant moves from Audit Logs into FlowBuilder in beta, so an admin can ask what a node or a selected group of nodes does and get a plain language explanation while building or troubleshooting a routing graph, and AI Inference Nodes reach general availability with Anthropic and Microsoft Azure added alongside OpenAI and Google Gemini, plus a web search toggle. The same release adds Dun and Bradstreet as a Whitespace Discovery provider in Account Hierarchies, BookIt for Tradeshows with event rosters and room availability, BookIt integrations with Outreach and Salesloft, expanded admin control through the BookIt MCP server, and LeanData Journeys, a premium add on that assembles buying group signals, stage and role coverage into one view with beta AI summaries and next steps.
The model provider list is the detail to read twice. Adding Anthropic and Azure to an inference node that sits inside deterministic routing logic means a Microsoft only shop can use the feature at all, and a buyer chooses which model reasons over its lead data rather than inheriting one. The assistant in FlowBuilder is beta and explanatory rather than editing, so it helps an admin understand a graph and does not yet change it. The rest of the release is LeanData positioning itself as the connective layer, with BookIt now reachable from Outreach, Salesloft and any MCP client.
