Tracecat
Tracecat's 1.3 alphas keep reworking agent plumbing: tunnels, multi-org MCP, pluggable runners.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Fibery and Plane — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Fibery's MCP server can now upload local files, so AI assistants can attach screenshots and images.
Fibery's October 22 release is small: rich text accepts multiple files at once, with new upload and upload-by-link options, and the MCP server lets an AI assistant upload files from the user's computer into file fields or rich text. It follows three heavier releases: AI-built custom integrations, Custom Apps as entity views, and a rebuilt AI agent.
Plane's AI layer is becoming programmable — saved skills and embedded AI docs change the category.
Plane ships every two weeks with a consistent mix of collaboration features, AI improvements, and documentation enhancements. Shared views, tabs in Pages, and collapsible blocks have brought the document layer closer to Notion-level expressiveness. The AI capabilities have moved from model access to structured, reusable workflow components (Skills). Audit logs and shared dashboards signal the beginning of an enterprise motion.

Fibery is making AI the main builder and operator of the workspace: the agent, Custom Apps, AI-generated integrations and an MCP server that now handles code execution and files. The weekly cadence alternates big AI releases with quality-of-life updates like this one.
Expect the custom-integration preview to widen and the MCP server to gain more write actions; another large AI release is likely within a few weeks given the pattern.

Plane is building a programmable project intelligence layer on top of its issue tracker. PQL (Plane Query Language) across dashboards and filters, AI Skills that save and replay workflow patterns, and embedded AI Blocks in Pages all point toward a product where AI-driven automation is constructed within Plane — not through external integrations. This is the direction Linear has avoided and where Plane is differentiating.
AI-generated project summaries or smart prioritization based on PQL patterns are the next logical release — the infrastructure (PQL, AI skills, AI block) is in place; applying it automatically to surface risks or bottlenecks is the natural next step.
