Frappe HR
Frappe HR spends October tightening permissions and payroll edge cases on both v15 and v16.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Ever Gauzy and Lattice — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Ever Gauzy follows account deletion with nine same-day patches carrying project archiving.
Ever Gauzy shipped 111.142.0 on October 28 with self-serve account deletion and telemetry redaction, then cut nine patch tags the same day. The substantive ones carry archive and unarchive for projects and teams, per-task sync scope that keeps tasks private to the platform, a redesigned project dashboard and proposal details, and email links restricted to allowed origins. The rest are egress-audit baselines and Plane plugin bumps adding status-less projects and employee subscriptions.
Lattice built an AI agent worth visiting, then handed its data to everyone else's.
Lattice runs AI Agent as its own changelog category alongside Performance, Compensation, and Analytics, and the June work built it into something worth opening: the Agent attends 1:1s and captures summaries, action items, and coaching insights, answers data questions with charts rather than prose, and takes voice input. July then pointed the same capability outward. An MCP server exposes Lattice to Claude, OpenAI, and Slack, and AI review drafts are assembled from a person's own 1:1s, feedback, goals, and updates with cited sources. Underneath both, the performance and compensation machinery keeps absorbing manual setup — calibration groups generated from the org chart, approved promotions carried from a review cycle into a comp cycle.

The product is shipping in waves: a large stage merge, then a string of small tags that move it to production. Two threads run through October: tidying the project and task model (archiving, sync scope, a Plane integration) and privacy and compliance work (account deletion, egress audits, DPIA links).
Expect more Plane plugin bumps and UI redesigns from the same contributors, plus further egress-audit and compliance tags as account deletion settles in production.

The interesting move is that Lattice stopped assuming it wins by being the app you open. June made the Agent a destination; July made Lattice reachable from Claude, ChatGPT, and Slack instead, which is a bet that being the HR data layer beats owning the chat surface. Review drafts show what that data layer is being accumulated for: the meeting capture, feedback, and goals the Agent has been collecting are now the raw material for the review itself, with citations as the trust mechanism. Compensation is on a slower and more procedural track, closing loops — sending recommendations back for revision, exporting with HRIS IDs attached — rather than adding AI.
Expect the review-drafting work and the MCP surface to converge, so a manager can draft an evidence-cited review from Claude or Slack without opening Lattice. Whether compensation gets the same treatment is genuinely unclear from these entries — that area is still being hardened procedurally, and approval chains carry consequences that make an AI draft a harder sell.
