Service Fusion's feed stays on buyer guides, now an HVAC technician tool list.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of LiveAgent and Re:amaze — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
LiveAgent's 5.70 branch adds Mistral and Gemini, live call transcription and message translation.
LiveAgent's 5.70 branch arrived with a large feature batch: Mistral AI as an EU-hosted provider, Gemini and OpenAI for ticket summaries and translation, live call transcription with speaker attribution, and on-demand translation of inbound messages. It also adds a Deskpro migration plugin and plan limits on event, time and SLA rules. The releases since are fix-only, mostly around chat widget errors and API gaps.
Re:amaze keeps adding stages to the pipeline before a human sees a ticket
Re:amaze publishes a blog that doubles as its release channel, and the run since January is a single continuous build: the AI Agent launched as a knowledge-base-backed chatbot, gained smarter intent detection, extended to email and SMS, then a mid-year roundup added visibility into how the agent works and ways to test it before it goes live. The newest entry introduces an AI Pre-Filter that sorts the inbox before any of that runs — separating marketing mail, shipping notices, social mentions and spam from the customers who actually need an answer.

The AI layer is turning multi-provider: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and Mistral now sit side by side, with retired OpenAI models migrated automatically. Voice and translation are where that layer is being applied first. The paired 5.69 and 5.70 releases on the same day show two branches being maintained in parallel.
Expect message translation to move past its 'Stage 1' on-demand scope, likely toward outbound or automatic translation. Further 5.69/5.70 fix pairs are likely in the meantime.

The company is working backwards from the reply toward the inbox. First the agent answered questions, then it understood them better, then it reached more channels, then it became inspectable and testable. Pre-filtering is the logical next step upstream: deciding what is even a support conversation. The supporting content — how to write help centre articles for better AI answers, how much support AI should handle — is aimed at customers who have to decide how much of the queue to hand over.
Expect the pre-filter and the agent to be connected into a single routing decision, with escalation rules for the VIP case the announcement explicitly calls out as needing a person.
