Zoho Recruit
Zoho Recruit opened the ATS to AI tools via MCP, then spent the summer closing integration gaps.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Ever Gauzy and Zenefits — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
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.
TriNet assembles an HR platform by partnership, then turns to the app itself
Zenefits now ships under TriNet's banner, and the changelog reads as TriNet's: HR Plus packaging, PEO integrations, and partner-powered service lines. The last quarter added Slack and Zoom account provisioning driven by HR events, Employee Navigator benefits sync, and global hiring and IT desks resold from Multiplier and Electric. The two August entries break that pattern, covering the core app's dashboard and directory instead.

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.
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.

The strategy is assembly rather than construction: TriNet partners for each new surface and wires it into the employee record it already owns. That widens the platform quickly but leaves the depth of each service in a partner's hands. August's interface work suggests attention is rotating back to the parts TriNet controls outright.
Expect further partner-powered service lines announced in the same format, with in-house work staying focused on making the dashboard and directory the entry point to them.
