Bitrix24's blog explains MCP for small teams; still no product releases.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Salesflare and GroupOffice — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Salesflare ships AI-import and an MCP connector to ChatGPT and Claude, amid heavy 'best CRM' SEO output.
The feed is dominated by 'best CRM' listicles (many published the same day) but the lead entry is a genuine product release: bulk-create for opportunities and accounts, AI-assisted import mapping with date normalization, and an MCP connection exposing Salesflare to ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI tools.
GroupOffice patches its 25.0 and 6.8 lines again, still with no notes.
GroupOffice ships maintenance builds across three release lines at once. On November 12 it tagged 6.8.183 and 25.0.117, and on November 13 it followed with 6.8.184 and 25.0.118 within forty minutes. Every note is the same install boilerplate, so the feed shows cadence but not what changed.

The product direction is toward faster data entry and, more notably, making the CRM addressable by external LLM agents via MCP — opening the pipeline to agentic workflows. Around that, Salesflare runs a high-volume comparison-content SEO engine.
Expect the MCP/agent integration to deepen (more actions exposed to LLMs) alongside continued AI-import refinements; the SEO listicle cadence will likely persist independently of product work.
GroupOffice ships maintenance builds across three release lines at once. On November 12 it tagged 6.8.183 and 25.0.117, and on November 13 it followed with 6.8.184 and 25.0.118 within forty minutes. Every note is the same install boilerplate, so the feed shows cadence but not what changed.
The 6.8 line, two majors behind current, has now had four patches in nine days, while 26.0 keeps a weekly rhythm. That points to fixes being backported to long-supported installs rather than new features, though the notes never say so.
A 26.0.60 build is the likely next tag within days, since 26.0 has shipped weekly and was left out of the November 12 pair.
