What is Clari?

Clari's owner puts Salesloft data inside ChatGPT, and prices it as an add-on

This feed is Salesloft's combined monthly release notes post-merger, so Clari updates arrive bundled with Salesloft, Groove, and Copilot changes. The August notes are dominated by CRM plumbing, including automatic Salesforce account linking, self-service custom object controls, and a required migration to a new External Client Application before 2 September, plus the first ChatGPT-facing MCP connector. Clari's own recent additions are narrower: Copilot call scoring in June and an in-app support chatbot in July.

What is Streak?

Streak wires automations to email and call activity, turning Gmail CRM into an event-driven workflow engine.

Streak is deepening its Gmail-native CRM position by tying automations directly to email threads, calls, and meeting notes — any new activity in a pipeline box can now trigger an automation. The Claude connector (one-click MCP integration) and an expanded MCP server for creating/updating records complete a trifecta of LLM-adjacent features shipped over the past few months.

Clari vs Streak: editorial side-by-side

C3.8

Clari's owner puts Salesloft data inside ChatGPT, and prices it as an add-on

◆ Current state

This feed is Salesloft's combined monthly release notes post-merger, so Clari updates arrive bundled with Salesloft, Groove, and Copilot changes. The August notes are dominated by CRM plumbing, including automatic Salesforce account linking, self-service custom object controls, and a required migration to a new External Client Application before 2 September, plus the first ChatGPT-facing MCP connector. Clari's own recent additions are narrower: Copilot call scoring in June and an in-app support chatbot in July.

◆ Where it's heading

The agentic layer is where the investment goes, and it is sold as a tier rather than included, with the ChatGPT MCP connector requiring both the Agentic add-on and an enterprise ChatGPT subscription. At the same time the Claude MCP server lost its transcript tool to a protocol limitation, so the surface is being shaped by what each host can carry. Underneath, considerable engineering is going into CRM fidelity across merges, deletions, and custom objects, which is the unglamorous prerequisite for agents that read revenue data.

◆ Prediction

The MCP surface looks set to expand by host rather than by capability, and the External Client Application migration will dominate admin communication through the 2 September deadline.

Streak logo6.3

Streak wires automations to email and call activity, turning Gmail CRM into an event-driven workflow engine.

◆ Current state

Streak is deepening its Gmail-native CRM position by tying automations directly to email threads, calls, and meeting notes — any new activity in a pipeline box can now trigger an automation. The Claude connector (one-click MCP integration) and an expanded MCP server for creating/updating records complete a trifecta of LLM-adjacent features shipped over the past few months.

◆ Where it's heading

Streak is moving from a passive data store (CRM you update manually) toward an active workflow layer (CRM that reacts to what happens in your Gmail). AI citations, the Claude connector, and expanded MCP capabilities collectively suggest Streak's differentiation will be depth of LLM integration for a Gmail-native context — not competing with Salesforce on breadth.

◆ Prediction

The next likely move is AI-generated pipeline updates triggered by email activity — automations that don't just fire when email activity happens, but read the email content and fill in deal fields based on what was discussed.
