What is Atarim?
Atarim's AI agency now comes with a clock on every stalled job.
Atarim is three months into V5, its bet that an AI team can do agency work rather than just organise it. Recent releases focus on making that work trustworthy: readable agent memory, reports that cite their sources, and an audit of every place the product claimed success without doing the work. The new Boards add a per-stage timer so stalled client jobs show up before the client complains.
What is SmartSuite?
SmartSuite's dashboard filters learn to exclude, as admin undo reaches deleted teams.
SmartSuite ships weekly on three fronts: AI access (a hosted MCP server and a refreshed model picker), admin governance (Managed Secrets with an audit trail, and now deleted teams that go to the Recycle Bin with their members) and dashboard depth. The latest release gives dynamic filter widgets an Is / Is Not operator that viewers can switch on the dashboard.

Atarim's AI agency now comes with a clock on every stalled job.
◆ Current state
Atarim is three months into V5, its bet that an AI team can do agency work rather than just organise it. Recent releases focus on making that work trustworthy: readable agent memory, reports that cite their sources, and an audit of every place the product claimed success without doing the work. The new Boards add a per-stage timer so stalled client jobs show up before the client complains.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc has shifted from adding AI capabilities to making them accountable and cheaper, with a 40% cut in AI action cost, refunds for failed turns, and editable memory. Boards brings the same visibility to the human side of the workflow. Atarim is positioning as the operating layer an agency runs on, with both people and agents measured inside it.
◆ Prediction
The stage clocks are a natural trigger for the AI experts, so expect stalled-stage alerts or automatic follow-ups to clients in an upcoming release.
SmartSuite's dashboard filters learn to exclude, as admin undo reaches deleted teams.
◆ Current state
SmartSuite ships weekly on three fronts: AI access (a hosted MCP server and a refreshed model picker), admin governance (Managed Secrets with an audit trail, and now deleted teams that go to the Recycle Bin with their members) and dashboard depth. The latest release gives dynamic filter widgets an Is / Is Not operator that viewers can switch on the dashboard.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is turning into a governed backend that scripts and AI agents operate, with credential controls and recoverable access structures. Dashboard and mobile parity work runs alongside as steady catch-up, removing the need for duplicate widgets and making admin actions reversible.
◆ Prediction
Expect more audit and access controls around automated actors, such as scoping which scripts or connections can use a secret, and further dashboard filter and mobile widget releases.
