GetResponse vs Craft CMS: at a glance
What is GetResponse?
GetResponse now ships a playbook so AI agents can run its email marketing.
GetResponse has spent the autumn making its account reachable by AI tools. October's MCP connection let Claude or ChatGPT query email data, and the November 12 AI Agent Skills package gives an agent the API's endpoints, payloads, limits and rules so it can act instead of guessing. Around that sit steady ecommerce and compliance work: real-time subscription syncing with stores, open-tracking consent for France and Italy, and workflows started from segments.
What is Craft CMS?
Craft 6 reaches beta with an AI assistant that edits content through its own MCP tools.
Craft CMS 6.0.0-beta.1 ends the alpha series on the Laravel foundation. It adds Ask AI, a chat panel beside every control panel screen that uses Craft's MCP tools as the signed-in user and proposes changes the user reviews and applies, plus a Ctrl/Cmd+K command palette, a side-by-side Compare screen for drafts, revisions and sites, and copy/paste of field values. The 5.12 stable line gets only single-fix patches.

GetResponse now ships a playbook so AI agents can run its email marketing.
◆ Current state
GetResponse has spent the autumn making its account reachable by AI tools. October's MCP connection let Claude or ChatGPT query email data, and the November 12 AI Agent Skills package gives an agent the API's endpoints, payloads, limits and rules so it can act instead of guessing. Around that sit steady ecommerce and compliance work: real-time subscription syncing with stores, open-tracking consent for France and Italy, and workflows started from segments.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is from AI that reads the account to AI that operates it. MCP came first for questions, Agent Skills now target execution, and the segmentation and ecommerce features give agents more to work with.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to let agents build and send campaigns or workflows end to end, with more permission controls around what an agent may change.
Craft CMS
6.3MKT AUTO
Craft 6 reaches beta with an AI assistant that edits content through its own MCP tools.
◆ Current state
Craft CMS 6.0.0-beta.1 ends the alpha series on the Laravel foundation. It adds Ask AI, a chat panel beside every control panel screen that uses Craft's MCP tools as the signed-in user and proposes changes the user reviews and applies, plus a Ctrl/Cmd+K command palette, a side-by-side Compare screen for drafts, revisions and sites, and copy/paste of field values. The 5.12 stable line gets only single-fix patches.
◆ Where it's heading
The alphas rebuilt the control panel on shared Inertia/Vue components; the beta uses that base to add editor-facing features, with AI assistance and version comparison at the center. Ask AI runs on the same MCP tools and permissions as the user, so Craft is treating AI as another way to operate the control panel rather than a separate content generator.
◆ Prediction
Further 6.0 betas fixing plugin and UI issues are the likely next step, with Ask AI's scope and model settings the area to watch. No release date for 6.0 is visible in the entries.
