What is Chatwoot?
Chatwoot is turning its June voice launch into a channel a team can actually run.
Voice, introduced in June, now has a dedicated Calls area with filtering by inbox and assignee, per-call status and recordings playable in place, instead of calls buried inside conversation threads. Captain, the AI agent, mines already-resolved conversations for suggested FAQs and refreshes its own documents. Reporting charts became clickable, leading from a metric straight to the conversations that produced it.
What is Heymarket?
Real features ship between the SEO posts: tags, webhooks, escalations, and now RCS via Twilio.
Heymarket's feed is a marketing blog with product announcements mixed in at roughly one post in three. The genuine releases in this window are Escalations, which pushes an unanswered conversation to a named person, and enablement for RCS campaigns through Twilio. The rest — a conversational-AI definition, a healthcare AI buying guide, email-writing advice — is search content with no product change behind it.

Chatwoot is turning its June voice launch into a channel a team can actually run.
◆ Current state
Voice, introduced in June, now has a dedicated Calls area with filtering by inbox and assignee, per-call status and recordings playable in place, instead of calls buried inside conversation threads. Captain, the AI agent, mines already-resolved conversations for suggested FAQs and refreshes its own documents. Reporting charts became clickable, leading from a metric straight to the conversations that produced it.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is consolidation rather than expansion. Each recent release takes something Chatwoot already shipped and adds the surface a daily operator needs: a home for calls, a payoff view for Captain, a path from a report number to the underlying threads. The AI work is aimed at reducing manual upkeep of the knowledge base rather than at answer quality.
◆ Prediction
Voice is the obvious place for the next round of automation parity with text, since this release gave it a dashboard but not workflow triggers or Captain participation.
Heymarket
2.5COMMS
Real features ship between the SEO posts: tags, webhooks, escalations, and now RCS via Twilio.
◆ Current state
Heymarket's feed is a marketing blog with product announcements mixed in at roughly one post in three. The genuine releases in this window are Escalations, which pushes an unanswered conversation to a named person, and enablement for RCS campaigns through Twilio. The rest — a conversational-AI definition, a healthcare AI buying guide, email-writing advice — is search content with no product change behind it.
◆ Where it's heading
The product work visible here is all about absorbing volume: tags to structure conversations, inbound webhooks to pull in the rest of the stack, escalations to catch what nobody answered, and AI agents the team says it trained against its own inbox first. Heymarket is building the operations layer around business messaging rather than extending the messaging surface itself. Channel breadth is arriving through partners, with RCS riding Twilio rather than native carrier work.
◆ Prediction
The next release is most likely another triage or routing control, since escalations and conversation tags both point that way. Entry bodies in this feed are truncated excerpts, so how far the AI agent work has actually gone is not visible here.
