Twenty
Twenty's ORM v2 migration is down to permission and repository edge cases
A side-by-side editorial comparison of NetHunt CRM and Streak — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
NetHunt's feed is evaluation-stage SEO content, with no product releases visible in it.
NetHunt publishes to a marketing blog rather than a changelog, and the last ten posts are all top-of-funnel search content: CRM buying guides, lead-generation listicles, migration checklists and sales-metrics how-tos. Nothing in the window announces or dates a product change. Where NetHunt's own capabilities do appear — segmentation, automation, ROI tracking — they are described as already shipped.
Streak went from an MCP server you configure to a Claude connector you click.
Streak is a Gmail-native CRM that has spent the last quarter making its pipeline data legible and writable by AI assistants. Its MCP server moved from read-only to full write access in June, and as of August Streak ships as a one-click Claude connector with no server URL to paste. Alongside that, the core CRM keeps getting collaboration and hygiene work: live viewing indicators, filterable pipeline newsfeeds, and validation rules that now hold on mobile.

Cadence holds at roughly two posts a week and the topic mix has not moved: evaluation-stage keywords aimed at buyers comparing CRMs, plus displacement content targeting teams already unhappy with an incumbent. The newest post, a plain explainer on why a business needs a CRM, sits at the widest end of that funnel. Read as a signal about the product, this feed reports nothing.
Expect the same weekly buying-guide and listicle rotation to continue. Product movement will not be visible here unless NetHunt starts publishing a separate release feed — these entries give no basis for calling what is being built.

The investment is going into the assistant as a primary client rather than a bolted-on sidebar, and each release lowers the cost of pointing an LLM at the CRM: read, then write, then zero-config install. The non-AI work serves the same end, since validation rules and per-person activity history are what make AI answers about a pipeline trustworthy. Streak is betting the CRM gets used through a conversation more often than through its own UI.
Expect the connector surface to widen to other assistant vendors and the AI credit system to become the metering story as LLM-driven writes grow. The entries show no pricing changes yet, so how that consumption gets charged is still unclear.
