Claap climbs from meeting analytics into deal and company reporting for revenue teams.
Claap shipped Deal Report and Company Report this week, attaching its conversation-intelligence data to higher-level revenue objects rather than individual meetings. Earlier in the cycle, the workspace got tighter admin controls (Members page, customization, cleaner CRM data flows), an automations engine refresh, three new VOIP integrations (lemlist, Allo, Ringover), and a Gong integration that lets Gong recordings flow into Claap. Claap AI was rebuilt under the 2.0 label.
Conceptboard ships sparingly; Smart sections brings hierarchy and real accessibility to the canvas
Conceptboard ships infrequently, with long gaps between releases and mostly small canvas refinements. The latest and most substantive addition is Smart sections, which adds hierarchical organization to large boards with full keyboard navigation and screen-reader support. Earlier 2026 work was limited to cloud-storage integrations and minor copying and styling tweaks.

The product is moving up the revenue-team stack: from 'record and recap a meeting' to 'tell us the full deal story across all conversations.' Reports keyed to deal and company entities mark that shift — revenue teams care about pipeline-level rollups, not call-level transcripts. Recent integrations (Gong, VOIP, CRM data hygiene) all extend Claap's data graph rather than its UI surface, which fits the same arc.
Expect Claap to push reports as a primary surface — likely forecasting, win/loss analysis, and rep coaching dashboards that consume the same Deal Report data. The Gong integration suggests Claap is willing to be the analytics layer on top of larger revenue-data graphs, not just the source of truth.

Earlier 2026 work was limited to cloud-storage integrations and minor copying and styling tweaks.
The pace is slow and the changes incremental, but accessibility is an emerging emphasis, with Smart sections leading on keyboard navigation and screen-reader descriptions for canvas content. Cloud integrations and visual customization round out the recent work. The direction reads as steady refinement of the existing whiteboard rather than expansion.
Expect continued low-frequency releases focused on canvas usability and accessibility, possibly with more board-organization and integration features. The sparse cadence makes a confident near-term call difficult.
