Avoma's meeting data is now reachable over MCP, buried in a monthly roundup between SEO posts.
The tracked feed is mostly Avoma's comparison-content engine — Pipedrive vs Salesforce, HubSpot vs Zoho, Gong vs Chorus, Outreach vs Salesloft — aimed at buyers shopping adjacent categories rather than at existing users. The product signal arrives once a month in an Insider roundup, and July's carries the substantive items: secure MCP access, source selection in Ask Avoma, AI email templates, and rebuilt Pipeline Walk and Pipeline Trend reports.
Skedda Companion can now be pushed to every laptop through MDM for full presence data.
Skedda's last quarter has been about making the data it collects visible and usable: Occupancy Insights, multi-venue comparison, richer visit exports, a read-only API beta and a redesigned Visits page. Skedda Companion 1.2 now installs through Intune, Jamf, Kandji or any MDM and enrols users automatically, so check-ins can be verified from laptop presence without QR codes or hardware.

Two things are happening at once. The product is opening up — MCP access means the meeting record stops being something you read inside Avoma and becomes something other agents can query, and letting users pick which sources Ask Avoma draws from is a trust control on the same surface. The content operation, meanwhile, is chasing CRM and revenue-tooling comparison traffic, which reaches buyers evaluating a category Avoma sits beside rather than in.
Expect Ask Avoma to keep gaining grounding and scoping controls now that source selection exists, and the MCP surface to widen if it is picked up. The monthly Insider post will stay the only place shipped work is visible, so per-feature detail will keep arriving bundled and late.

Skedda is shifting from a booking front end to a source of workplace attendance data. Companion's MDM rollout aims at complete presence coverage, which makes the occupancy analytics and API more valuable as more laptops report in.
Expect occupancy and presence data to reach the API, since Skedda said more API capabilities are planned and Companion now feeds richer attendance data.
