NocoBase vs Process Street: at a glance
What is NocoBase?
NocoBase's Runner Agent gets conversation management, task links and agent switching mid-thread.
NocoBase ships two beta trains a day, and the latest center on its agent layer and on demo deployments. Beta 10-28.1 lets users manage Runner Agent conversations with task links, queued messages and usage, and swap agents without losing history; it also adds inline form validation and duplicate-submission protection to app templates. Beta 10-28.2 tightens demo mode so shared demo apps block requests with external effects.
What is Process Street?
Process Street is repositioning as the compliance operations layer that AI agents can call.
Process Street is a workflow and checklist platform that has rebranded itself as a compliance operations platform for regulated industries. Its recent changelog is dominated by long-form content — case studies and how-to guides — rather than feature releases, which makes the product's actual shipping cadence opaque. The company is actively narrating its positioning around AI-callable process APIs (headless BPM), though no discrete feature releases are visible in this window.

◆ Current state
NocoBase ships two beta trains a day, and the latest center on its agent layer and on demo deployments. Beta 10-28.1 lets users manage Runner Agent conversations with task links, queued messages and usage, and swap agents without losing history; it also adds inline form validation and duplicate-submission protection to app templates. Beta 10-28.2 tightens demo mode so shared demo apps block requests with external effects.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform is being rebuilt as an app-template and agent product on a 3.0 server line: agents can develop app-local plugins, run conversations tied to tasks, and operate inside templated apps with release management. Each beta also publishes a cluster of package tags, so the feed is dense but the substance sits in the dated release notes.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Runner Agent and app-template work to keep landing in daily betas until app-server 3.0 leaves beta; a stable 3.0 announcement is the likely next large step.
Process Street is repositioning as the compliance operations layer that AI agents can call.
◆ Current state
Process Street is a workflow and checklist platform that has rebranded itself as a compliance operations platform for regulated industries. Its recent changelog is dominated by long-form content — case studies and how-to guides — rather than feature releases, which makes the product's actual shipping cadence opaque. The company is actively narrating its positioning around AI-callable process APIs (headless BPM), though no discrete feature releases are visible in this window.
◆ Where it's heading
The 'headless BPM' framing — process definitions that AI agents can read and advance without a UI — is the clearest directional signal. If Process Street ships this as a real product surface (not just a concept piece), it becomes a backend process infrastructure layer for agentic workflows, not just an ops checklist tool. The compliance-first customer stories (FinTech regulatory audit readiness) anchor the near-term GTM.
◆ Prediction
Expect a formal product announcement around headless BPM and agent API access — the conceptual groundwork is being laid in content; a developer-facing feature launch is the logical next step.
