Bitrix24's blog explains MCP for small teams; still no product releases.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Streak and Twenty — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Streak's Gmail CRM keeps adding AI fields and team presence, now on mobile too.
Streak is a CRM inside Gmail that has spent 2026 connecting to AI: an MCP server that can create records, a one-click Claude connector, and October's AI autofill templates for lead scoring and account research. Automations can fire on new emails, calls and meeting notes. Mobile apps now show which teammates are viewing a deal, matching desktop.
Twenty 2.58 rebuilds CRM permissions down to the row and adds MCP workflow steps.
Twenty 2.58.0 on November 13 rebuilt how access works: role permissions now compile into row-level rules, legacy per-user permissions are gone and the old workflow object is dropped, all flagged as breaking. The same release adds a workflow step that calls MCP tools, self-service two-factor backup codes and stricter SAML checks. Patches 2.58.1 and 2.58.2 then stopped existing accounts from joining a workspace through SSO without an invitation first.

Streak is turning email activity into structured data that AI tools and automations can act on, while closing mobile parity gaps for reps. The AI work has moved from integrations with outside assistants to AI features inside the pipeline itself.
More AI autofill templates and automation triggers are likely next; the entries do not show pricing changes for AI features.
Twenty 2.58.0 on November 13 rebuilt how access works: role permissions now compile into row-level rules, legacy per-user permissions are gone and the old workflow object is dropped, all flagged as breaking. The same release adds a workflow step that calls MCP tools, self-service two-factor backup codes and stricter SAML checks. Patches 2.58.1 and 2.58.2 then stopped existing accounts from joining a workspace through SSO without an invitation first.
Twenty is hardening the base under its AI and app platform: tighter access rules, SSO and SAML checks, and apps that run under their own grants. Workflows keep gaining ways to call outside tools, now including MCP servers.
Expect follow-up patches as self-hosters hit the 2.58 permission changes, and a fix that lets invited users join SSO-only workspaces.
