What is Bonsai?
Bonsai is turning its CRM into the place Zoom notes, bookings and AI drafts all land.
Bonsai's autumn releases connect its CRM to the tools around a client meeting. Zoom My Notes and Zoom Scheduler bookings now sync to the matching client timeline, a redesigned dashboard lets users pick and order widgets, and AI tools connected through Bonsai's MCP can draft documents, manage invoices and set project budgets. The summer built the base: global notes, email and calendar sync, a self-serve API and the MCP connector.
What is Ever Teams?
Ever Teams adds self-service account deletion amid a stream of same-day tags.
Ever Teams shipped v0.147.0 with account deletion from the Danger Zone and by e-mail link, built on Gauzy's account-deletion endpoint, followed by review fixes in the same release. Late October then brought v0.148.0's task-settings and invitation fixes, a Docker option that prints sign-in codes on the local API console, and a move of CI toward self-hosted runners. Four of the five most recent tags landed on 31 October.

Bonsai is turning its CRM into the place Zoom notes, bookings and AI drafts all land.
◆ Current state
Bonsai's autumn releases connect its CRM to the tools around a client meeting. Zoom My Notes and Zoom Scheduler bookings now sync to the matching client timeline, a redesigned dashboard lets users pick and order widgets, and AI tools connected through Bonsai's MCP can draft documents, manage invoices and set project budgets. The summer built the base: global notes, email and calendar sync, a self-serve API and the MCP connector.
◆ Where it's heading
Bonsai is pulling client history in from outside sources, first Gmail and Microsoft, now Zoom notes and bookings, so the CRM fills itself. At the same time the MCP connector keeps gaining write actions, so the work done on that data can happen from an AI chat. Billing remains, but the product is organized around the client record.
◆ Prediction
Expect more meeting and calendar sources to sync into the activity feed and more write actions through MCP. The entries do not show which integration comes next.
Ever Teams adds self-service account deletion amid a stream of same-day tags.
◆ Current state
Ever Teams shipped v0.147.0 with account deletion from the Danger Zone and by e-mail link, built on Gauzy's account-deletion endpoint, followed by review fixes in the same release. Late October then brought v0.148.0's task-settings and invitation fixes, a Docker option that prints sign-in codes on the local API console, and a move of CI toward self-hosted runners. Four of the five most recent tags landed on 31 October.
◆ Where it's heading
The tag count continues to track merged pull requests, and v0.148.0's commit list labels its features as daily self-build maintenance. The real product change is alignment with Gauzy: account deletion, a same-origin image placeholder route and a shared image proxy all tie the web app more closely to that API. The move off dummyimage.com removes a third-party dependency.
◆ Prediction
Expect more version churn with Gauzy-aligned fixes beneath it. The account deletion review fixes suggest that flow will see further patches.
