What is Ever Gauzy?

Ever Gauzy links time logs to invoice lines so the same hours are never billed twice.

Ever Gauzy ships many small tags a day, most built and reviewed with AI code-review bots. November 13 alone brought seven tags: invoice lines now record the time logs they bill, with a filter that leaves out time already invoiced, chat suggests team names for new channels, and task automations react when a linked GitHub pull request or issue closes. The rest are fixes for date-only due dates, chat on Postgres and MySQL collations.

What is Fountain?

Fountain opens a skills marketplace for its Cue assistant and adds a compliance review queue.

Fountain is a hiring platform for hourly workers covering applicant tracking, a talent pool, sourcing and I-9 and W-4 compliance. The November 5–12 batch opens a Cue Skills Marketplace with ten ready-made Fountain skills, lets Pool export any talent list with no row limit, gives compliance reviewers one urgency-ordered queue for waiting documents, and aligns Talroo campaigns with Talroo's own dates, budgets and location screening. It follows a week that logged every Candidate AI answer and widened remote I-9 reverification.

Ever Gauzy vs Fountain: editorial side-by-side

E7.5

Ever Gauzy links time logs to invoice lines so the same hours are never billed twice.

◆ Current state

Ever Gauzy ships many small tags a day, most built and reviewed with AI code-review bots. November 13 alone brought seven tags: invoice lines now record the time logs they bill, with a filter that leaves out time already invoiced, chat suggests team names for new channels, and task automations react when a linked GitHub pull request or issue closes. The rest are fixes for date-only due dates, chat on Postgres and MySQL collations.

◆ Where it's heading

The platform is tying its separate modules together: time tracking to invoicing, chat to teams, and tasks to GitHub events. The fast tag cadence means each feature arrives with several follow-up fix tags the same day.

◆ Prediction

Expect more task-automation triggers from external tools after the GitHub closed-link event, and invoicing work that uses the new billed-time links.

F5.0

Fountain opens a skills marketplace for its Cue assistant and adds a compliance review queue.

◆ Current state

Fountain is a hiring platform for hourly workers covering applicant tracking, a talent pool, sourcing and I-9 and W-4 compliance. The November 5–12 batch opens a Cue Skills Marketplace with ten ready-made Fountain skills, lets Pool export any talent list with no row limit, gives compliance reviewers one urgency-ordered queue for waiting documents, and aligns Talroo campaigns with Talroo's own dates, budgets and location screening. It follows a week that logged every Candidate AI answer and widened remote I-9 reverification.

◆ Where it's heading

Fountain ships a weekly batch of operator-side fixes, and its AI work is moving from answering applicants to doing recruiter tasks: Candidate AI got an audit log last week, and Cue now has installable skills. The compliance and sourcing items keep reducing the manual queue work in high-volume hiring.

◆ Prediction

Expect the Cue marketplace to grow past its first ten skills, possibly with customer-built skills shared across accounts; the entries do not show pricing or third-party skills yet.
