SmartSuite
SmartSuite grinds through Forms 2.0, governance, and an AI Center refresh — no-code aimed at GRC and PMO.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Timeneye and BigTime — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Lucen Track (formerly Timeneye) is adding AI access and timesheet depth to time tracking.
Lucen Track, the time-tracking product recently rebranded from Timeneye under Lucen Software, is broadening from pure time entry toward fuller workforce timesheets and AI accessibility. Recent releases add billability automation, time-off and absence management, native Azure DevOps and Outlook integrations, and an MCP server that lets AI assistants read and write time data. The cadence is steady and the work is practical, aimed at reducing manual classification and chasing.
BigTime ships an embedded BI agent while the rest of its feed fills with SEO
BigTime is an established professional-services automation (PSA) platform whose core is billing, project management, resource management, and deep QuickBooks integration. The one genuine product release in the recent window is the Enterprise BI Agent, a natural-language analytics layer now live in BigTime Enterprise PSA. Everything else the feed surfaced is SEO blog content, not shipped product changes.

The cadence is steady and the work is practical, aimed at reducing manual classification and chasing.
Two threads stand out. First, deepening the timesheet into a system of record for the whole working week, not just billable hours, via time off, holidays, and billability rules. Second, meeting users inside the tools they already work in, including AI assistants through MCP and calendars through Outlook. The rebrand signals consolidation under a broader Lucen platform, which may foreshadow tighter ties to sibling products.
Expect the MCP integration to expand toward more automated timekeeping (agents logging time from activity), and the time-off module to grow approval and reporting depth as it matures into a fuller timesheet suite.

The BI Agent points BigTime toward embedding conversational AI into its reporting layer, letting finance leads query project and billing data directly instead of filing report requests. It arrived on a clear coming-to-live arc, paired with prebuilt professional-services dashboards and prompt guidance. Past that one feature, the crawled entries show marketing cadence rather than shipping cadence, so broader direction is hard to read here.
Expect BigTime to expand the BI Agent's prebuilt dashboard library and prompt templates, building on the five-dashboard launch; anything beyond the analytics layer isn't supported by these entries, which are mostly blog posts.
