SlickText
5.0COMMS
SlickText's feed is all SMS buying guides; no product release has surfaced since RCS.
◆ Current state
SlickText's recent feed is entirely search content: SMS segmentation, church and nonprofit texting comparisons, Black Friday tactics, cost breakdowns and guides on annual plans. No release appears in the entries since the basic RCS addition.
◆ Where it's heading
The content is getting more explicit about buying decisions. Vertical comparison pages, published prices and an outgrown-your-platform pitch all aim at people ready to switch. Product motion cannot be read from these posts.
◆ Prediction
Expect Black Friday content through November and more vertical comparison pages. These entries give no evidence of how RCS is progressing.
Krisp
5.0COMMS
Krisp moves call transcripts and live captions to cloud transcription in KrispCX 2.84.4.
◆ Current state
Krisp sells a Call Center AI suite to BPOs and contact centers: Accent Conversion, Voice Translation, QA scoring, deepfake and fraud detection. KrispCX 2.84.4 adds cloud transcription in beta for more accurate transcripts and Live Captions, plus in-call hints when the Krisp microphone is in use; the source note is truncated. October brought Conference mode for Voice Translation and a Fraud Detection beta.
◆ Where it's heading
Releases arrive on a two-week cadence and keep stacking agent-assist features on the live call, from translation to fraud signals to captions. The September move to free-to-try has been followed by incremental depth rather than new product lines.
◆ Prediction
Expect more of the live-call layer to move to cloud processing, with QA scoring and translation likely reusing the new transcription. The truncated notes leave the scope of the cloud beta unclear.
