Proposify
0.0CRM
Proposify 3 launches after 2.5 years of development—the platform's first complete architectural reset.
◆ Current state
Proposify shipped its v3 platform in May 2025, a ground-up rebuild that reframes the product as a proposal experience layer rather than a document editor. The Q1 2026 update indicates steady post-launch iteration, with the team shipping new integrations and incremental improvements now that the architectural work is done.
◆ Where it's heading
The 2.5-year development cycle means v3 is a fundamental platform rewrite. With the foundation in place, Proposify is expanding through vertical-specific integrations (Aspire for field services), broadening the seat model (Collaborator seats for non-sales stakeholders), and building the automation layer that underpins future AI capabilities. The 2024 public API positions Proposify to be embedded in custom sales stacks.
◆ Prediction
The next phase is AI-assisted proposal drafting—the 2024 automation engine is a natural foundation for AI-generated content components. Competitors PandaDoc and GetAccept shipped AI features during the 2.5-year v3 development window; Proposify needs to close that gap in 2026.
Folk
5.0CRM
folk now pitches itself as the CRM for the agent era.
◆ Current state
folk is a CRM for small sales teams that has spent the autumn opening its data to AI agents. A November 6 post repositions it as 'the CRM for the agent era', turning customer data into context agents act on. October added bulk create and update through folk MCP, enrichment through the API and MCP, call recording in beta and a French interface.
◆ Where it's heading
The positioning now matches what the releases have been building: MCP access, bulk writes and self-enrichment make folk a data layer agents can use. The new post states the direction but ships no new feature itself.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to give agents more write actions through MCP, such as tasks or pipeline moves, to back up the new positioning.
