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 Sleeknote?
Sleeknote wires leads straight into CleverReach as its holiday push continues

The newest is a native CleverReach integration that sends collected leads to CleverReach lists without CSV exports or middleware.

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.

Sleeknote wires leads straight into CleverReach as its holiday push continues
◆ Current state
Sleeknote has shipped eight items in a month ahead of Black Friday: Game Studio (beta) with nine mini games, single-use codes for Spin to Win and Scratch to Win, Seasonal Calendars with per-day analytics and easier setup, full-screen campaigns, and connectors that let Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Grok answer campaign questions. The newest is a native CleverReach integration that sends collected leads to CleverReach lists without CSV exports or middleware.
◆ Where it's heading
The holiday work centers on gamified, time-boxed campaigns and measuring them, while the CleverReach connector extends the other end of the funnel: getting captured leads into email tools without glue. Integrations and analytics both point at proving campaign value to ecommerce marketers.
◆ Prediction
Expect more seasonal calendar and template tweaks through December, and possibly further native email-platform integrations in the same format as CleverReach.
