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 GanttPRO?
GanttPRO ships a quarter's worth of features at a time, filed as blog tutorials.
This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, naming the feature after the colon. The last ones that clearly announced features, dashboard export with portfolio invitations and a rebuilt list view, landed on 4 August. The October posts are a how-to on custom colours that doesn't say whether the feature is new, and a buy-versus-build article for enterprise Gantt tools. Earlier in the year came a shared board-view link, table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker.
Bonsai vs GanttPRO: editorial side-by-side
Bonsai
5.0PM
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.
GanttPRO
5.0PM
GanttPRO ships a quarter's worth of features at a time, filed as blog tutorials.
◆ Current state
This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, naming the feature after the colon. The last ones that clearly announced features, dashboard export with portfolio invitations and a rebuilt list view, landed on 4 August. The October posts are a how-to on custom colours that doesn't say whether the feature is new, and a buy-versus-build article for enterprise Gantt tools. Earlier in the year came a shared board-view link, table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run through the recent work. One is giving people outside the project a way in: shared private links for board view, invitations to portfolios, dashboard export — each aimed at a stakeholder who needs the picture without a seat in the plan. The other is loosening the product's attachment to the chart it is named after, through the list view, board view and table reports. For a tool that sold one visualisation, methodically shipping all the others is the more consequential of the two.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next feature post to extend the sharing thread, export or link access for views that lack it, since two of the last three features were about read-only distribution. The October posts are content marketing, so the gap since August means no new feature has appeared in the feed.
