What is Fluint?
Sales-deal-intelligence platform reaches feature parity across CRMs and embeds Olli into every surface a sales team uses.
Fluint is a sales deal intelligence platform centered on an AI agent named Olli. Visible work covers Microsoft Dynamics 365 added as a third major CRM connector (Salesforce and HubSpot were already supported), an Olli-powered digest and notifications system across email and Slack, Teams for org-structure rollups, a self-serve Startups tier, and Olli reachable as a skill inside Claude via MCP.
What is Folk?
Folk launched an MCP server and a mobile app in the same summer — two distinct distribution bets at once.
Folk shipped MCP integration twice in this window: the original Meet folk MCP in July (connecting CRM data to AI assistants) and a follow-on folk MCP feature that turns interaction history into AI-queryable insights. The mobile app launch — Contacts by folk — with talk-to-text and a business card scanner positions folk as a capture tool in the field, not just a desktop CRM. The Interactions API beta opens the data layer to external builders.

Fluint
5.0CRM
Sales-deal-intelligence platform reaches feature parity across CRMs and embeds Olli into every surface a sales team uses.
◆ Current state
Fluint is a sales deal intelligence platform centered on an AI agent named Olli. Visible work covers Microsoft Dynamics 365 added as a third major CRM connector (Salesforce and HubSpot were already supported), an Olli-powered digest and notifications system across email and Slack, Teams for org-structure rollups, a self-serve Startups tier, and Olli reachable as a skill inside Claude via MCP.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc is Olli everywhere — embedding the agent into every surface a sales team already uses (Claude Code, Desktop, Slack DMs, scheduled email digests) and feeding it from every major CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, now Dynamics). Each release simultaneously expands the surface where Olli runs and the data Olli sees. Polish work (Dark Mode, Teams filters) is bundled in, but the directional energy is on agent ubiquity.
◆ Prediction
Expect more agent-surface integrations next — likely Microsoft Teams, Outlook plugins, or Zoom — plus deeper writeback into CRMs beyond document Notes (quotes, contracts). MCP-style integrations into other AI clients are a likely follow-on as MCP adoption broadens.
Folk
6.3CRM
Folk launched an MCP server and a mobile app in the same summer — two distinct distribution bets at once.
◆ Current state
Folk shipped MCP integration twice in this window: the original Meet folk MCP in July (connecting CRM data to AI assistants) and a follow-on folk MCP feature that turns interaction history into AI-queryable insights. The mobile app launch — Contacts by folk — with talk-to-text and a business card scanner positions folk as a capture tool in the field, not just a desktop CRM. The Interactions API beta opens the data layer to external builders.
◆ Where it's heading
Folk is building a CRM designed for AI-native workflows: MCP for AI assistant connectivity, talk-to-text for frictionless capture, and the Interactions API for developers who want to build on top of the sales data. The Auto-fill AI (April) and MCP launches together suggest folk is positioning as the CRM that does the data work automatically rather than requiring manual entry.
◆ Prediction
The Interactions API graduating from beta — with full read/write access to CRM data — would enable folk to power third-party AI sales tools and outbound automation workflows, expanding beyond the native product.
