Attio vs Twenty: at a glance
What is Attio?
Attio leans hard into agentic AI — Ask Attio now executes multi-record actions, not just answers questions.
Attio's recent run is dominated by a single coordinated April release: Ask Attio shifts from query-only to action-taking across notes, tasks, records, and emails; the platform lands in the ChatGPT store; and a 10x tail-latency reduction underpins the heavier AI surfaces. The mobile app picked up record-history parity, and the developer API gained saved-view filters. Several entries appear duplicated upstream, indicating a feed-level issue rather than two distinct releases.
What is Twenty?
Twenty 2.52 lets apps run their own account-connection flows and adds inbox sharing.
Twenty 2.52.0 has a breaking change: apps can now connect accounts through their own authorization flow, and members manage personal app connections from preferences. The release also adds inbox thread sharing, global chat commands, email approval review, and weekly AI credits shown in chat. Much of the rest rebuilds record-form editing for emails, phones, links, files and addresses, and brings back table and toggle controls lost in 2.51's TipTap switch.

6.3CRM
Attio leans hard into agentic AI — Ask Attio now executes multi-record actions, not just answers questions.
◆ Current state
Attio's recent run is dominated by a single coordinated April release: Ask Attio shifts from query-only to action-taking across notes, tasks, records, and emails; the platform lands in the ChatGPT store; and a 10x tail-latency reduction underpins the heavier AI surfaces. The mobile app picked up record-history parity, and the developer API gained saved-view filters. Several entries appear duplicated upstream, indicating a feed-level issue rather than two distinct releases.
◆ Where it's heading
The trajectory is unambiguous: Attio is repositioning itself from 'modern CRM' to 'agentic CRM where the assistant does the operational work'. The combination of multi-step reasoning, plain-language record manipulation, and a ChatGPT-store presence places Attio's data behind a conversational interface — both inside Attio and inside ChatGPT itself. Performance and developer-platform work look like load-bearing prerequisites for that direction.
◆ Prediction
Expect deeper agentic capabilities — scheduled or triggered actions ('every Friday, summarize the pipeline and email the changes'), and tighter email/calendar action loops. Once the developer API filters mature, third-party integrations will start composing Ask Attio actions from outside the app.
Twenty
5.0CRM
Twenty 2.52 lets apps run their own account-connection flows and adds inbox sharing.
◆ Current state
Twenty 2.52.0 has a breaking change: apps can now connect accounts through their own authorization flow, and members manage personal app connections from preferences. The release also adds inbox thread sharing, global chat commands, email approval review, and weekly AI credits shown in chat. Much of the rest rebuilds record-form editing for emails, phones, links, files and addresses, and brings back table and toggle controls lost in 2.51's TipTap switch.
◆ Where it's heading
Twenty is pushing its app platform outward: third-party apps now own their auth and channels, and SDK packages ship in lockstep with core. Alongside it, the product is building a shared inbox and an AI chat with metered credits and human approval steps. The editor and form work shows a team still paying down 2.51's TipTap migration.
◆ Prediction
Expect a 2.52.x patch round for the new connection flow and record-form bricks, and more approval-gated AI actions in chat. Removal of the deprecated blocknote sub-field is still pending.
