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.
Interact opens its intranet to outside AI assistants and uses Claude to attack its own platform.
Interact's October feed is led by Interact MCP, which brings the intranet into AI assistants people already use, with read and write access under each person's permissions. Its security team joined Anthropic's Cyber Verification Program and is testing its own platform with Claude Mythos 5.1, and Cyber Essentials certification now covers Interact and Sideways 6. The rest of the month is buyer guides, award news and thought leadership.

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.
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.

The Spring Action Agent work put agents inside the intranet; MCP moves the intranet out to wherever employees already work. That raises the stakes on trust, which is why the security items matter more than they would alone: a system holding company knowledge is being opened to more clients. The company's content messaging now describes the intranet as adaptive.
Expect Conductor and MCP connections to reach more business systems, following the Workday pattern from the Spring Launch. Further security attestations are also likely as AI access expands.
