What is Amelia?
Amelia keeps widening from appointments into events, ticketing and payments.
Amelia is a WordPress booking plugin that announces each release as a blog post, roughly monthly. Across 8.5 through 9.7 the shape is consistent: appointments remain the core, but events take an increasing share — QR-code ticketing, invoicing, waiting lists, front-end display controls, and now public event pages in 9.7. Calendar integration and payment flexibility are the other steady threads, and 9.1 introduced Angie AI as an admin-side assistant alongside Outlook sync and Divi 5 support.
What is Krisp?
Krisp has stopped being a noise-cancellation utility and become a contact-center voice platform.
Every entry in the last two months is filed under Call Center AI. The product now spans Voice Translation, Accent Conversion, Voice Security with deepfake detection and agent voice verification, Speech Analytics with screen recording, and an Enterprise Analytics Portal for sharing results with clients. Releases alternate between web-side batches roughly weekly and desktop app builds, and admin controls appear in nearly every one.

Amelia

Amelia keeps widening from appointments into events, ticketing and payments.
◆ Current state
Amelia is a WordPress booking plugin that announces each release as a blog post, roughly monthly. Across 8.5 through 9.7 the shape is consistent: appointments remain the core, but events take an increasing share — QR-code ticketing, invoicing, waiting lists, front-end display controls, and now public event pages in 9.7. Calendar integration and payment flexibility are the other steady threads, and 9.1 introduced Angie AI as an admin-side assistant alongside Outlook sync and Divi 5 support.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is growing into a light events-and-payments layer inside WordPress rather than a scheduling widget. The IvyForms integration is the tell on strategy: instead of building a form builder, Amelia delegates pre-booking data collection to a sibling product, which points at a suite rather than one plugin. Full data export and import arriving in 9.7 is the housekeeping a product needs once customers have years of bookings inside it — and once moving between installations becomes a support question.
◆ Prediction
Public event pages give Amelia a front end it did not previously own, so making those pages promotable or discoverable is the natural next step. These posts are summaries rather than changelogs, so specifics are hard to read ahead of time.
Krisp
6.3COMMS
Krisp has stopped being a noise-cancellation utility and become a contact-center voice platform.
◆ Current state
Every entry in the last two months is filed under Call Center AI. The product now spans Voice Translation, Accent Conversion, Voice Security with deepfake detection and agent voice verification, Speech Analytics with screen recording, and an Enterprise Analytics Portal for sharing results with clients. Releases alternate between web-side batches roughly weekly and desktop app builds, and admin controls appear in nearly every one.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is real-time voice manipulation sold to contact centers, not consumers. Accent Conversion now runs on both sides of a call, translation gained speed control and a spelling mode for names and numbers, and the language list keeps growing. Voice Security is the defensive counterpart — the same synthesis capability that powers accent conversion is what makes deepfake detection necessary, and Krisp is selling both sides. The steady stream of admin controls, audit logs, and automated data cleanup shows an enterprise procurement checklist being worked through.
◆ Prediction
Expect the language and accent model coverage to keep widening and Voice Security to move from paid trial toward general availability. The portal API gaining audit logs suggests more of the admin surface will become programmatic.
