What is Lyssna?
Lyssna's MCP server now writes tests and surveys, not just reads results.
Lyssna's October update lets its MCP server create and edit tests and surveys in beta, so a research question or PRD discussed in Claude or ChatGPT becomes a draft study with questions, logic and screeners. The same month adds multiple tasks per prototype, first click and preference section, Enterprise observer rooms for live interviews, automatic interview recording across Zoom, Meet and Teams, and mobile screen recording out of beta.
What is Filmhub?
Filmhub is automating the QC gate that stands between indie titles and channels.
Filmhub distributes independent films and shows to streaming channels, and its recent releases target the friction before distribution: captions, artwork checks, asset fixes and clearer payment schedules. October brought renamed plans and a cheaper option funded by internal tooling. Releases come every few weeks and focus on producer workflow.

Lyssna
3.8DESIGN
Lyssna's MCP server now writes tests and surveys, not just reads results.
◆ Current state
Lyssna's October update lets its MCP server create and edit tests and surveys in beta, so a research question or PRD discussed in Claude or ChatGPT becomes a draft study with questions, logic and screeners. The same month adds multiple tasks per prototype, first click and preference section, Enterprise observer rooms for live interviews, automatic interview recording across Zoom, Meet and Teams, and mobile screen recording out of beta.
◆ Where it's heading
The July MCP release made study data readable by AI assistants; October makes study creation writable from them, while the researcher still reviews and launches in Lyssna. Moderated research is also getting heavier investment, with automatic recording and observer rooms. Admin AI controls from September suggest the company expects teams to need limits as these features spread.
◆ Prediction
The next likely step is MCP access to launching studies or ordering panel recruitment, since review and launch are the remaining manual stages the entries describe.
Filmhub
5.0DESIGN
Filmhub is automating the QC gate that stands between indie titles and channels.
◆ Current state
Filmhub distributes independent films and shows to streaming channels, and its recent releases target the friction before distribution: captions, artwork checks, asset fixes and clearer payment schedules. October brought renamed plans and a cheaper option funded by internal tooling. Releases come every few weeks and focus on producer workflow.
◆ Where it's heading
Each release attacks a reason titles fail QC or stall: artwork analysis in August, asset adjustment services and a lower-cost plan in October, broader caption formats in November. Filmhub says this tooling lowers its operating costs, and it is passing part of that on as pricing. The direction is a more self-serve, faster path from upload to channel.
◆ Prediction
Expect more automated pre-submission checks for other asset types, following the artwork and caption pattern. How far Filmhub will cut prices further is unclear from the entries.
