What is Bonsai?
Bonsai is turning its CRM into the place Zoom notes, bookings and AI drafts all land.
Bonsai's autumn releases connect its CRM to the tools around a client meeting. Zoom My Notes and Zoom Scheduler bookings now sync to the matching client timeline, a redesigned dashboard lets users pick and order widgets, and AI tools connected through Bonsai's MCP can draft documents, manage invoices and set project budgets. The summer built the base: global notes, email and calendar sync, a self-serve API and the MCP connector.
What is Fibery?
Fibery puts MCP setup in one settings page and speeds up entity views and formulas.
Fibery's November 5 release is quality-of-life: keyboard filters in search, more actions on whiteboard entity cards, faster entity pages and batched formula updates. Fibery MCP now has its own settings page with one-click Claude and ChatGPT connections and ready commands for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode. AI Connectors reached free beta on October 29.

Bonsai
5.0PM
Bonsai is turning its CRM into the place Zoom notes, bookings and AI drafts all land.
◆ Current state
Bonsai's autumn releases connect its CRM to the tools around a client meeting. Zoom My Notes and Zoom Scheduler bookings now sync to the matching client timeline, a redesigned dashboard lets users pick and order widgets, and AI tools connected through Bonsai's MCP can draft documents, manage invoices and set project budgets. The summer built the base: global notes, email and calendar sync, a self-serve API and the MCP connector.
◆ Where it's heading
Bonsai is pulling client history in from outside sources, first Gmail and Microsoft, now Zoom notes and bookings, so the CRM fills itself. At the same time the MCP connector keeps gaining write actions, so the work done on that data can happen from an AI chat. Billing remains, but the product is organized around the client record.
◆ Prediction
Expect more meeting and calendar sources to sync into the activity feed and more write actions through MCP. The entries do not show which integration comes next.
Fibery
6.3PM
Fibery puts MCP setup in one settings page and speeds up entity views and formulas.
◆ Current state
Fibery's November 5 release is quality-of-life: keyboard filters in search, more actions on whiteboard entity cards, faster entity pages and batched formula updates. Fibery MCP now has its own settings page with one-click Claude and ChatGPT connections and ready commands for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode. AI Connectors reached free beta on October 29.
◆ Where it's heading
Fibery alternates big AI releases (AI agent, Custom Apps, AI-built integrations) with polish weeks. Making MCP setup a first-class setting shows it expects outside agents to work in Fibery as much as its own.
◆ Prediction
The pricing decision on AI Connectors is due by year end; MCP-based connector creation is still the open item from October.
