What is Arcade?
Arcade's AI video tool now works inside Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini via MCP.
Arcade's releases are almost all about AI video. The November release adds an Arcade MCP so users can create and edit videos from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and other assistants, with credit costs shown in the chat. It also adds 60 native voices in 15 more languages and one-click variations of a single video. In October, AI video got its own home and users could pick the model behind each video.
What is Saleshandy?
Saleshandy halves the API price of profiles and allows same-day multichannel follow-ups.
Saleshandy combines a cold outreach sequencer with its Lead Finder prospect database. Two November releases touch both halves: sequence steps can now be spaced in hours and minutes, so email, WhatsApp and call tasks can run the same day, and the Open API returns people profiles without an email reveal at 0.5 credit per row.

Arcade
6.3MARKETING
Arcade's AI video tool now works inside Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini via MCP.
◆ Current state
Arcade's releases are almost all about AI video. The November release adds an Arcade MCP so users can create and edit videos from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and other assistants, with credit costs shown in the chat. It also adds 60 native voices in 15 more languages and one-click variations of a single video. In October, AI video got its own home and users could pick the model behind each video.
◆ Where it's heading
Arcade spent the autumn turning its editor into an AI video studio, with style references, curated scenes and model choice. It is now taking that studio into the assistants people already use, and charging per edit in credits. Localisation and variations push it toward producing many versions of one video for different audiences.
◆ Prediction
Expect more agent-facing work, such as deeper MCP actions or usage-based pricing detail, since the MCP launch already exposes credit costs per edit.
Saleshandy
5.0MARKETING
Saleshandy halves the API price of profiles and allows same-day multichannel follow-ups.
◆ Current state
Saleshandy combines a cold outreach sequencer with its Lead Finder prospect database. Two November releases touch both halves: sequence steps can now be spaced in hours and minutes, so email, WhatsApp and call tasks can run the same day, and the Open API returns people profiles without an email reveal at 0.5 credit per row.
◆ Where it's heading
Lead Finder is turning into a data product sold beyond the app, with monthly refreshes, CSV exclusions and now cheaper API access for CRM enrichment. The sequencer is moving toward multichannel cadences where WhatsApp and calls sit next to email.
◆ Prediction
Expect more Open API endpoints or pricing tiers for Lead Finder data, and the November data refresh post around late month.
