What is Claap?

Claap turns calls into promptable columns — and hands the whole table to your agent over MCP.

Claap is a meeting recorder that has spent this window becoming a structured data layer for revenue teams. AI Fields, shipped in July, lets a user write a prompt and get a typed column — a rating, a status, a text value — computed across every call in a meeting or deal view, auto-run on new calls and synced to the CRM. The month before, those same tables and columns were made readable by Claude and any other MCP client, and field enrichment gained deeper HubSpot targets. Around that core sit capture and reporting expansions: mobile apps for in-person meetings, automatic capture of contact email alongside calls, and Deal and Company reports built on the conversation record rather than the CRM stage.

What is Nextcloud?

Nextcloud ships three patch lines in a day as 35.0.2 adds webhook metadata and a report API.

Nextcloud released 35.0.2, 34.0.5 and 33.0.10 on the same day, a month after the 35.0.0 major that swapped OnlyOffice for Euro-Office and added FrankenPHP support. The backports share a security-flavored core: a CSRF token on the share-accept endpoint, upload checks against session and share tokens, and logs that no longer leak sensitive data. 35.0.2 also adds richer node-webhook metadata, webhook-compatible comment events and an API for system-report sections.

Claap turns calls into promptable columns — and hands the whole table to your agent over MCP.

◆ Current state

Claap is a meeting recorder that has spent this window becoming a structured data layer for revenue teams. AI Fields, shipped in July, lets a user write a prompt and get a typed column — a rating, a status, a text value — computed across every call in a meeting or deal view, auto-run on new calls and synced to the CRM. The month before, those same tables and columns were made readable by Claude and any other MCP client, and field enrichment gained deeper HubSpot targets. Around that core sit capture and reporting expansions: mobile apps for in-person meetings, automatic capture of contact email alongside calls, and Deal and Company reports built on the conversation record rather than the CRM stage.

◆ Where it's heading

The arc is unusually consistent — every release widens the input corpus or sharpens the output schema. Calls, then email, then in-person meetings recorded on a phone all flow into one deal timeline; on the other side, insights hardened into typed columns, then into user-defined prompted columns, then into something an external agent can read directly. That last move matters most: Claap is positioning as a source its customers' own AI reads, not only a dashboard people open, which is a different competitive posture than a call recorder that keeps its analysis inside its own UI. The feed also emits duplicate posts for several releases, so raw entry counts overstate the shipping cadence.

◆ Prediction

The next step suggested by these entries is writing rather than reading — AI Fields that trigger actions or CRM updates on a computed value, not just sync a column — since the prompt, the schedule and the CRM connection are all already in place.

6.3

Nextcloud ships three patch lines in a day as 35.0.2 adds webhook metadata and a report API.

◆ Current state

Nextcloud released 35.0.2, 34.0.5 and 33.0.10 on the same day, a month after the 35.0.0 major that swapped OnlyOffice for Euro-Office and added FrankenPHP support. The backports share a security-flavored core: a CSRF token on the share-accept endpoint, upload checks against session and share tokens, and logs that no longer leak sensitive data. 35.0.2 also adds richer node-webhook metadata, webhook-compatible comment events and an API for system-report sections.

◆ Where it's heading

The patch stream is still dominated by sharing permissions, resharer caps and encryption cache fixes, now applied across three supported branches at once. The small additions in 35.0.2, webhooks and the 'Unified Sharing Legacy Sync' groundwork, point to sharing being rebuilt under the hood and to more automation hooks for integrators. The 35 line is absorbing regressions from the major at a steady monthly pace.

◆ Prediction

Expect a 35.0.3 within a month continuing sharing and encryption fixes, with more of the unified-sharing work surfacing; the entries do not say when that rework becomes user-visible.
