Bitrix24's blog explains MCP for small teams; still no product releases.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Snov.io and Folk — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Snov.io's October update brings LinkedIn Prospect Finder 4.0 and an AI Assistant.
Snov.io spent 2026 adding ChatGPT and Claude integrations, an n8n node, company enrichment, AI web enrichment and, in September, an AI message writer. The October roundup headlines LinkedIn Prospect Finder 4.0 and an AI Assistant. Update posts in this feed are short summaries, so feature detail is thin.
folk adds a command panel and quick-add tasks after its agent-era repositioning.
folk is a lightweight relationship CRM that widened its surface through the summer and autumn with a mobile app, Tasks, an Interactions API, an MCP connector with bulk writes, enrichment in the API and EU data residency. Call recording left beta on November 10, days after folk recast itself as 'The CRM for the agent era'. The 12 November release adds a command panel and quick-add tasks; the post gives little more detail.

The October roundup headlines LinkedIn Prospect Finder 4.0 and an AI Assistant. Update posts in this feed are short summaries, so feature detail is thin.
The year's arc runs from data (enrichment, bulk email search) toward AI that acts on it (writer, assistant), with LinkedIn tooling refreshed alongside. Monthly roundups remain the release vehicle.
Expect November's roundup to extend the AI Assistant into more of the outreach workflow; the entries are too brief to say which parts.

Releases alternate between agent access (MCP writes, API enrichment) and everyday usability for sales reps (calling, French, now shortcuts). The positioning says agents, but most shipped work still serves the person doing the selling.
Expect further MCP and API coverage of folk's objects, likely tasks and calls, so agents can act on the same loop reps use. The thin recent posts make timing unclear.
