What is Salesloft?
Post-merger Salesloft is racing to make its data reachable from whatever AI tool the rep already has open.
Salesloft publishes monthly release notes covering the whole post-merger surface — its own cadence and conversations products plus Clari and Groove. The through-line since April is agentic access: an MCP server exposing live pipeline, call and account data to AI tools, then that same server packaged as a ChatGPT custom connector. Both sit behind the Salesloft Agentic add-on and an admin toggle. Elsewhere the notes are governance and analytics work — call recording visibility tiers, AI usage metrics, sorting and filtering.
What is Brand24?
Brand24 extends audio monitoring to TikTok, completing a video-platform sweep that redefined what it tracks.
Brand24 has expanded significantly beyond text-based social monitoring. In 2026 it shipped YouTube audio detection, TikTok transcription monitoring, an LLM visibility tracker (AI Visibility), a redesigned AI assistant with web access, and advanced boolean search. The product now captures brand mentions across three distinct signal types: social text, video audio, and AI-generated responses. The LLM monitoring feature — tracking how ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity reference brands — is the most forward-looking addition and is gated on Business/Enterprise plans.

Salesloft
3.8MARKETING
Post-merger Salesloft is racing to make its data reachable from whatever AI tool the rep already has open.
◆ Current state
Salesloft publishes monthly release notes covering the whole post-merger surface — its own cadence and conversations products plus Clari and Groove. The through-line since April is agentic access: an MCP server exposing live pipeline, call and account data to AI tools, then that same server packaged as a ChatGPT custom connector. Both sit behind the Salesloft Agentic add-on and an admin toggle. Elsewhere the notes are governance and analytics work — call recording visibility tiers, AI usage metrics, sorting and filtering.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI story is deliberately being told twice: new metrics count Account researched, Person researched and Agent tasks completed so customers can see AI adoption, while MCP makes that AI reachable from outside Salesloft entirely. That second move is the more consequential one — it concedes the rep may live in ChatGPT and positions Salesloft as the data layer rather than the interface. The Clari merger is still mostly cross-referenced rather than integrated in these notes.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Agentic add-on to keep accumulating the AI functionality while base tiers get the analytics that measure it, and further connectors beyond ChatGPT for the same MCP server. How deeply Clari and Salesloft actually merge in the product remains unstated.
Brand24
6.3MARKETING
Brand24 extends audio monitoring to TikTok, completing a video-platform sweep that redefined what it tracks.
◆ Current state
Brand24 has expanded significantly beyond text-based social monitoring. In 2026 it shipped YouTube audio detection, TikTok transcription monitoring, an LLM visibility tracker (AI Visibility), a redesigned AI assistant with web access, and advanced boolean search. The product now captures brand mentions across three distinct signal types: social text, video audio, and AI-generated responses. The LLM monitoring feature — tracking how ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity reference brands — is the most forward-looking addition and is gated on Business/Enterprise plans.
◆ Where it's heading
Brand24 is building toward comprehensive brand intelligence across every channel where brands are discussed, including ones that never existed in traditional monitoring — AI chatbot outputs and spoken video content. The pattern is deliberate: each expansion targets a channel where text-only monitoring misses real signal. The next frontier is likely audio-first platforms (podcasts, Instagram Reels) or deepening the LLM attribution analysis.
◆ Prediction
LLM visibility monitoring will expand to cover more models and add attribution-style analysis connecting AI citation share-of-voice to business metrics. Audio monitoring may extend to podcast platforms or Instagram Reels as the same transcription infrastructure scales.
