What is Ever Gauzy?
Gauzy's React rewrite becomes a tenant-level switch, and its AI chat learns to listen
Ever Gauzy is shipping at a punishing rate — eleven tags in 48 hours, from v111.35.14 to v111.36.5. Almost all of that traffic is CI hardening and same-day hotfixes; the substance sits in a single tag, v111.36.0. That release adds a tenant-wide switch between the Angular and React front ends, ships the React Time Tracking dashboard at parity with its Angular original, and puts speech-to-text into the AI chat behind eight new provider plugins.
What is Finch?
Finch is doing the unglamorous payroll-API depth work — provider coverage, schema completeness, sandbox fidelity.
Finch is shipping plumbing across its provider network and data model: W4 documents now reachable for Paychex, FLSA status on the employment endpoint, rehire date for QuickBooks, Square Payroll reliability fixes, 7shifts added to the Provider Network in beta. Security and trust work is showing up too — PII masking in the API Explorer and CAPTCHA on dashboard signup. Sandbox mock-data quality improvements appear repeatedly in the recent run.
Ever Gauzy vs Finch: editorial side-by-side
Gauzy's React rewrite becomes a tenant-level switch, and its AI chat learns to listen
◆ Current state
Ever Gauzy is shipping at a punishing rate — eleven tags in 48 hours, from v111.35.14 to v111.36.5. Almost all of that traffic is CI hardening and same-day hotfixes; the substance sits in a single tag, v111.36.0. That release adds a tenant-wide switch between the Angular and React front ends, ships the React Time Tracking dashboard at parity with its Angular original, and puts speech-to-text into the AI chat behind eight new provider plugins.
◆ Where it's heading
Two arcs are running in parallel. The React migration has crossed from internal port to a customer-visible choice, which means Gauzy now carries both UIs and every ported dashboard tightens the case for retiring Angular. The AI chat continues to extend the plugin-per-provider architecture it established back in v111.1.0, this time into voice rather than text. The tag stream around both is dominated by CI work — credential scrubbing, registry refactors, runner timeouts — suggesting the build pipeline is the current bottleneck.
◆ Prediction
Expect more Angular dashboards ported to React behind the Preferred-UI switch, one module at a time, and further voice provider plugins added to the existing bring-your-own-key pattern.
Finch
5.0HR
Finch is doing the unglamorous payroll-API depth work — provider coverage, schema completeness, sandbox fidelity.
◆ Current state
Finch is shipping plumbing across its provider network and data model: W4 documents now reachable for Paychex, FLSA status on the employment endpoint, rehire date for QuickBooks, Square Payroll reliability fixes, 7shifts added to the Provider Network in beta. Security and trust work is showing up too — PII masking in the API Explorer and CAPTCHA on dashboard signup. Sandbox mock-data quality improvements appear repeatedly in the recent run.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is in 'fill-the-grid' mode: matrix of (employment-data fields) × (payroll providers). Each release closes off another cell. The strategic theme is reducing the integration surface customers have to handle themselves — if Finch supports rehire_date on QuickBooks, downstream HR-tech buyers don't write that branch in their own code. The PII masking and CAPTCHA additions hint at SOC 2 / enterprise-readiness pressure from larger customers.
◆ Prediction
Expect more Documents-Product expansions to additional providers (the W4-to-Paychex pattern repeats well), and continued Provider Network growth focused on shift- and time-tracking systems where data overlaps with payroll. The next directional move would be more advanced write capabilities (mutating data back to providers, not just reading) — Finch's existing infra makes that a natural next step.
