Twenty 2.52 lets apps run their own account-connection flows and adds inbox sharing.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Streak and Streak — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Streak wires automations to email and call activity, turning Gmail CRM into an event-driven workflow engine.
Streak is deepening its Gmail-native CRM position by tying automations directly to email threads, calls, and meeting notes — any new activity in a pipeline box can now trigger an automation. The Claude connector (one-click MCP integration) and an expanded MCP server for creating/updating records complete a trifecta of LLM-adjacent features shipped over the past few months.
Streak ships AI autofill templates that score deals and research accounts in one click.
Streak is a Gmail-embedded CRM building on two tracks: live collaboration (viewing indicators on desktop and mobile, mobile data validation, activity-triggered automations) and AI access to deal data. The Claude connector brought outside AI tools in; the new AI autofill templates bring AI into the pipeline itself as columns with ready-written prompts for lead scoring and account research.

Streak is moving from a passive data store (CRM you update manually) toward an active workflow layer (CRM that reacts to what happens in your Gmail). AI citations, the Claude connector, and expanded MCP capabilities collectively suggest Streak's differentiation will be depth of LLM integration for a Gmail-native context — not competing with Salesforce on breadth.
The next likely move is AI-generated pipeline updates triggered by email activity — automations that don't just fire when email activity happens, but read the email content and fill in deal fields based on what was discussed.

AI is moving from an external integration to something inside the pipeline grid. With automations that fire on new emails, calls and meeting notes, Streak has the parts for pipelines that update and enrich themselves from inbox activity.
More AI column templates are the likely next step, and possibly automations that trigger on AI-filled values such as a lead score crossing a threshold.
