A side-by-side editorial comparison of Infobip and Tawk.to — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
A CPaaS rebuilding around AI agents that act, not just channels that deliver
Infobip publishes quarterly roll-ups, and the feed stores each quarter twice — once as a bare label, once as the summary paragraph. Across Q3 2025 to Q1 2026 the through-line is consistent: AgentOS unifying the communication stack, AI agents that take action rather than reply, MCP servers connecting models to real channels, and AI voice work under Vocalize, against continued WhatsApp, RCS and CDP investment.
tawk.to's widget 4.4.0 turns to keyboard and screen-reader fixes after a run of form work.
tawk.to is a free live chat widget that ships a version every few weeks, mostly fixes with periodic capability additions. The 4.x line added two JavaScript APIs in September and per-country phone length checks in 4.3.0. Widget 4.4.0 adds a close button inside round widgets and fixes keyboard, focus-outline and screen-reader issues, plus custom chat buttons that failed on sites asking for consent.

The company is repositioning from delivering messages to running autonomous customer interactions on top of them. Channels are becoming the substrate; the product being sold is the agent layer above. MCP servers matter most here — they make Infobip's channel reach callable by models a customer already runs, rather than requiring Infobip's own agent builder.
Expect the next quarterly to lead with AgentOS depth — orchestration, handoff and measurement across agents — since the channel and MCP groundwork it needs has now shipped over three consecutive quarters.

Recent work splits between developer hooks for host sites, data quality in visitor forms, and now accessibility: 4.4.0 is mostly about the widget working without a mouse. The consent-site fix continues the privacy thread from 3.6.0. Nothing in the entries points to a change of direction.
Expect more accessibility and form fixes in 4.x point releases; the entries do not show anything larger on the way.
