What is Salesmsg?
Salesmsg keeps widening past outbound texting into the whole customer-feedback loop.
Salesmsg has two threads running. The AI agent work has consolidated — the Unified Agent gives every texting agent one build-and-test surface, agents book and reschedule HubSpot meetings over SMS, and Salesforce Flows can enrol contacts into agents and dialer queues directly. The second thread is newer: Reviews in late July and NPS surveys now put feedback capture inside the same conversation thread, with score-based follow-ups and live analytics. Monthly digests fill in the operational layer — per-automation credit tracking, concurrent call handling, self-serve 10DLC upgrades.
What is Smartsupp?
Smartsupp keeps compounding its Mira AI shopping assistant
Smartsupp's updates are a steady build-out of its Mira AI shopping assistant and live chat: one-click conversation translation, product cards pulled from the merchant feed, richer AI-response formatting, automatic website-content refresh, and full-context awareness so Mira stops asking for details it can look up. A compact chat-box header is the lone cosmetic item.

Salesmsg keeps widening past outbound texting into the whole customer-feedback loop.
◆ Current state
Salesmsg has two threads running. The AI agent work has consolidated — the Unified Agent gives every texting agent one build-and-test surface, agents book and reschedule HubSpot meetings over SMS, and Salesforce Flows can enrol contacts into agents and dialer queues directly. The second thread is newer: Reviews in late July and NPS surveys now put feedback capture inside the same conversation thread, with score-based follow-ups and live analytics. Monthly digests fill in the operational layer — per-automation credit tracking, concurrent call handling, self-serve 10DLC upgrades.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform is expanding along the conversation rather than along the sales funnel. Having won the channel, Salesmsg is adding everything a service business would otherwise buy separately — reputation management, satisfaction measurement, IVR and call routing — on the argument that the SMS thread is where those things actually convert. The credit-tracking and system-health work suggests customers are now running enough automated volume to need cost attribution.
◆ Prediction
Expect the survey and review data to start feeding the AI agents rather than sitting in their own dashboards — a detractor score is an obvious trigger for an automated follow-up conversation. Further CRM-side parity between the HubSpot and Salesforce integrations is the other consistent pattern in these entries.

2.5COMMS
Smartsupp keeps compounding its Mira AI shopping assistant
◆ Current state
Smartsupp's updates are a steady build-out of its Mira AI shopping assistant and live chat: one-click conversation translation, product cards pulled from the merchant feed, richer AI-response formatting, automatic website-content refresh, and full-context awareness so Mira stops asking for details it can look up. A compact chat-box header is the lone cosmetic item.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is a more autonomous, context-aware commerce assistant, grounding Mira in the merchant's own feed and site, cutting manual setup, and smoothing multilingual support. Each release is incremental, but together they push Smartsupp from live chat toward an AI-first shopping layer.
◆ Prediction
Expect further Mira grounding and autonomy, with more automatic data sourcing and richer in-chat commerce as the product-card work points toward deeper catalog actions. Multilingual support looks set to widen.
