Yext Deprecates Legacy Tool, Rolls Out Modular Features in Mobile-First Platform Revamp

Yext, Inc. (NYSE:YEXT) is one of the small-cap tech stocks hedge funds were buying in Q2.

On October 29, 2025, Yext published its latest product update, formally deprecating its Knowledge Assistant tool, which had previously allowed businesses to manage listings via conversational input. In its place, the company introduced a slate of new features aimed at improving flexibility and brand control across its digital experience platform.

These included a user-editable schema for technical SEO, an optional starting location for map-based locator pages, and a customizable banner section for directory and locator modules: changes that appear to reflect Yext’s broader pivot toward modular, mobile-optimized web architecture.

The update followed the company’s September release, which had announced the sunsetting of the Knowledge Assistant and rolled out a beta version of the new Yext mobile app. With these changes, Yext seems to be retooling its platform for a post-AI, mobile-first future, trading legacy tools for targeted enhancements to core functionality.

Yext, Inc. (NYSE:YEXT) provides a platform for managing digital knowledge and customer-facing content across websites, search engines, and other endpoints. It is headquartered in New York.
