What is Tango?

Tango is dual-tracking workflow documentation and a browser-based AI CRM agent.

Tango's core surface — capturing browser workflows into step-by-step guides — keeps gaining depth: voice transcription during capture, workflow branching for multiple paths, translations for global teams, video embeds, and governance and compliance views for Enterprise. In parallel, Tango bet hard a year ago on browser-based AI agents with the AI CRM Admin, aimed at sales and revops teams who otherwise spend hours on repetitive Salesforce-style updates. Both bets are still being shipped against, but the cadence on the documentation side is markedly higher.

What is Wiki.js?

Wiki.js 3 beta.705 ships a built-in MCP server and page ownership with lifecycle rules.

Wiki.js 3 is still marked not for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, page ownership with lifecycle rules, a feedback board that reviewers can edit and categorize, and link completion in the markdown editor. PAT scopes get a clearer dialog, which matters now that tokens are how outside clients connect.

Tango is dual-tracking workflow documentation and a browser-based AI CRM agent.

◆ Current state

Tango's core surface — capturing browser workflows into step-by-step guides — keeps gaining depth: voice transcription during capture, workflow branching for multiple paths, translations for global teams, video embeds, and governance and compliance views for Enterprise. In parallel, Tango bet hard a year ago on browser-based AI agents with the AI CRM Admin, aimed at sales and revops teams who otherwise spend hours on repetitive Salesforce-style updates. Both bets are still being shipped against, but the cadence on the documentation side is markedly higher.

◆ Where it's heading

Tango is making documentation deeper and more multilingual while incubating a separate AI-agent product line on top. The implicit thesis is that workflow capture is the moat — anyone can build a CRM agent, but capturing the exact path a human takes and translating it into agent actions is harder. The two surfaces should eventually converge, but right now they look more like a mature product plus a bet than a unified strategy.

◆ Prediction

Expect AI CRM Admin to gain second-system breadth (HubSpot, Outreach, or other revops surfaces beyond Salesforce) and the documentation side to start exposing captures as agent-runnable workflows — using the existing capture data as the substrate for autonomous execution.

6.3

Wiki.js 3 beta.705 ships a built-in MCP server and page ownership with lifecycle rules.

◆ Current state

Wiki.js 3 is still marked not for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, page ownership with lifecycle rules, a feedback board that reviewers can edit and categorize, and link completion in the markdown editor. PAT scopes get a clearer dialog, which matters now that tokens are how outside clients connect.

◆ Where it's heading

The v3 betas have moved from editor features (live notes, math, draft recovery) toward governance and machine access: personal access tokens in beta.672, then MCP and page lifecycle rules here. The project is building the controls an organization needs before trusting a wiki to AI clients and to long-lived content.

◆ Prediction

Expect more MCP tools and PAT scope options in the next betas, and lifecycle rules tied into notifications for review and expiry.
