What is Claap?

Claap turns calls into promptable columns — and hands the whole table to your agent over MCP.

Claap is a meeting recorder that has spent this window becoming a structured data layer for revenue teams. AI Fields, shipped in July, lets a user write a prompt and get a typed column — a rating, a status, a text value — computed across every call in a meeting or deal view, auto-run on new calls and synced to the CRM. The month before, those same tables and columns were made readable by Claude and any other MCP client, and field enrichment gained deeper HubSpot targets. Around that core sit capture and reporting expansions: mobile apps for in-person meetings, automatic capture of contact email alongside calls, and Deal and Company reports built on the conversation record rather than the CRM stage.

What is HelloID?

Identity governance shipping on a monthly train, mostly rollback correctness and rule tuning.

HelloID publishes in release-numbered bundles — a preview of what is coming in 2026.08, then fixed lists per module. The substantive items this cycle are a configurable exception threshold for rule mining (now settable anywhere from 20% down to 0%), request-GUID stamping in the Elastic audit log, cached target-snapshot permissions in preview, and PowerShell 7 support for the local Service Automation agent. Everything else is defect work in provisioning rollback, delegated forms, and automation variables.

Claap turns calls into promptable columns — and hands the whole table to your agent over MCP.

◆ Current state

Claap is a meeting recorder that has spent this window becoming a structured data layer for revenue teams. AI Fields, shipped in July, lets a user write a prompt and get a typed column — a rating, a status, a text value — computed across every call in a meeting or deal view, auto-run on new calls and synced to the CRM. The month before, those same tables and columns were made readable by Claude and any other MCP client, and field enrichment gained deeper HubSpot targets. Around that core sit capture and reporting expansions: mobile apps for in-person meetings, automatic capture of contact email alongside calls, and Deal and Company reports built on the conversation record rather than the CRM stage.

◆ Where it's heading

The arc is unusually consistent — every release widens the input corpus or sharpens the output schema. Calls, then email, then in-person meetings recorded on a phone all flow into one deal timeline; on the other side, insights hardened into typed columns, then into user-defined prompted columns, then into something an external agent can read directly. That last move matters most: Claap is positioning as a source its customers' own AI reads, not only a dashboard people open, which is a different competitive posture than a call recorder that keeps its analysis inside its own UI. The feed also emits duplicate posts for several releases, so raw entry counts overstate the shipping cadence.

◆ Prediction

The next step suggested by these entries is writing rather than reading — AI Fields that trigger actions or CRM updates on a computed value, not just sync a column — since the prompt, the schedule and the CRM connection are all already in place.

5.0

Identity governance shipping on a monthly train, mostly rollback correctness and rule tuning.

◆ Current state

HelloID publishes in release-numbered bundles — a preview of what is coming in 2026.08, then fixed lists per module. The substantive items this cycle are a configurable exception threshold for rule mining (now settable anywhere from 20% down to 0%), request-GUID stamping in the Elastic audit log, cached target-snapshot permissions in preview, and PowerShell 7 support for the local Service Automation agent. Everything else is defect work in provisioning rollback, delegated forms, and automation variables.

◆ Where it's heading

The work is concentrated on making automated provisioning trustworthy enough to run unattended: rollback that cleans up a half-created Active Directory account when Exchange fails, variables that reflect their current values at execution time, and audit records that tie a message back to the request that produced it. Rule mining is the one place where the product is getting easier to adopt rather than merely more correct — dropping the exception threshold to zero is aimed squarely at the first-time setup problem of deriving rules from a messy directory. The release cadence is predictable and module-partitioned, with previews telegraphing the next train.

◆ Prediction

Expect the 2026.08 train to land the PowerShell 7 agent alongside more rule-mining configurability, since both are the only threads in this window being extended rather than repaired.
