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.
After two years of quiet fixes, Komga puts a whole new web UI in front of users.
Komga's recent history is almost entirely maintenance — archive-format edge cases, EPUB table-of-contents parsing, Kobo and OPDS compatibility, and a long tail of dependency bumps and translations. Release 1.26.0 breaks that pattern by shipping NextUI, a rewritten web interface, in beta and served alongside the existing one from the same server. The old UI remains the default, and the new one is reached from a sidebar link or a /next path, with a published list of what is still missing.

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 old UI remains the default, and the new one is reached from a sidebar link or a /next path, with a published list of what is still missing.
This is a staged frontend replacement rather than a cutover: two UIs on one web server, a v2 referential API landing in the same release to back the new client, and a hotfix a few hours later for NextUI CSS layers under Tomcat. The backend is simplifying in parallel — RAR5 support moved to plain Java and libarchive was dropped from the Docker image and the tray app, removing a native dependency from the build. Feature work outside the UI stays narrow and format-focused.
Expect a run of point releases closing the gaps in NextUI's feature list and hardening the two-UI serving path, with the beta label staying on until parity is reached. A default switch is unlikely before the missing features land.
