SmartSuite adds a scheduled JavaScript runtime with secrets and run history.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Aha! and Fibery — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Aha! ships MCP connectors for Elle and opens Builder to 3,000+ integrations, deepening AI product workflows
Aha! is actively extending its AI surface across two axes: Elle, the AI assistant, now connects to external tools via MCP (GitHub, Linear, Jira), and Aha! Builder apps can integrate with 3,000+ external services. Customer research capabilities are also being surfaced in Slack and Teams via AI-generated clips. The product is positioning itself as an AI-native product management platform, not just a traditional roadmapping tool.
Fibery hands integrations to AI: describe any HTTP API and it builds, tests and hosts the connector.
Fibery ships weekly, and its recent releases put AI at the center of how the workspace gets built: Custom Apps generate interfaces, a new AI Agent arrived in September, and the October 8 release added Space data hidden from Admins. The October 15 release previews AI-built Custom Integrations, where a user describes a source and AI writes, tests and runs the connector with OAuth and webhooks. The MCP server also gains an execute_code tool that lets agents chain calls in a script, and rich-text changes now show as diffs with notifications.

The product is positioning itself as an AI-native product management platform, not just a traditional roadmapping tool.
Aha! is building toward an AI product management layer that talks to all the tools product teams already use — via both its own app builder and MCP connectors. Elle is accumulating integrations that let it act as an agent across the development toolchain, not just answer questions in isolation. Expect continued expansion of MCP-connected tools and the Builder's integration surface.
Elle will gain write permissions across MCP-connected tools (not just read), enabling direct issue creation and status updates from within Aha! — the natural next step after establishing read connections.

Fibery keeps replacing things it would otherwise build by hand, first views and apps and now integrations, with AI-generated equivalents users can request. Each shift adds a usage-based cost line: AI credits for building and, after the preview, compute charges for running connectors. Controls such as attribution, usage dashboards and permission splits are growing alongside.
Expect compute pricing for Custom Integrations once the 2–4 week preview ends, followed by an MCP tool for creating connectors, which the release lists as missing. Two-way sync is also listed as a current limit, but the entries don't say whether it is planned.
