About SmartSuite
SmartSuite pushes Forms 2.0, granular governance, and AI while courting GRC and ITSM teams
SmartSuite, a no-code work-management platform, is shipping on three fronts at once. A sustained Forms 2.0 overhaul is adding layout and appearance controls, new field display types, form-level defaults, a dedicated Forms management page, and a redefined internal Form View. In parallel it shipped Dynamic Record Permissions to general availability — granular, condition-based access control — and is investing in AI with an open-source MCP server and AI-powered trend analysis. Nearly every release is framed around GRC, ITSM, and HR use cases.
