What is Claap?
Claap turns meeting capture into agent-connected revenue intelligence, now on mobile and over MCP.
Claap, which began as a meeting-recording and async-video tool, is increasingly a revenue-intelligence platform. Recent releases add Deal and Company Reports that tell the full deal story beyond CRM stage, HubSpot field enrichment, VOIP integrations, admin automations, MCP access to its AI columns, and a mobile app that captures in-person meetings. The connecting thread is turning captured conversations into structured, CRM-connected revenue signal.
What is SiYuan?
SiYuan opens up: a kernel plugin system and CLI turn the notes app into a platform
SiYuan is shipping at a high cadence on the 0.x line, and the headline of the current cycle is extensibility — a kernel plugin system, a new command-line interface, and in-place editing for embed blocks. Alongside it sit steady i18n and export-quality improvements.

Claap turns meeting capture into agent-connected revenue intelligence, now on mobile and over MCP.
◆ Current state
Claap, which began as a meeting-recording and async-video tool, is increasingly a revenue-intelligence platform. Recent releases add Deal and Company Reports that tell the full deal story beyond CRM stage, HubSpot field enrichment, VOIP integrations, admin automations, MCP access to its AI columns, and a mobile app that captures in-person meetings. The connecting thread is turning captured conversations into structured, CRM-connected revenue signal.
◆ Where it's heading
Claap is moving up the stack from recording into deal intelligence and CRM connective tissue, with an agentic bent — exposing its AI data to MCP clients and writing enrichment back into HubSpot. Mobile capture of in-person meetings extends its reach to conversations rivals built around video calls can't see.
◆ Prediction
Expect the iOS app to follow Android, deeper CRM write-back beyond HubSpot, and more MCP/agent surface — continuing the pivot from meeting recorder toward a revenue-intelligence layer that feeds the CRM.

SiYuan opens up: a kernel plugin system and CLI turn the notes app into a platform
◆ Current state
SiYuan is shipping at a high cadence on the 0.x line, and the headline of the current cycle is extensibility — a kernel plugin system, a new command-line interface, and in-place editing for embed blocks. Alongside it sit steady i18n and export-quality improvements.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from a self-contained privacy-first notebook toward an extensible platform: plugins at the kernel level, a CLI for automation, HTTPS/HTTP2 hosting, and broad language support. That widens both the developer surface and the self-host audience.
◆ Prediction
Expect a plugin ecosystem to form around the kernel plugin API, with SiYuan leaning further into self-hosted, automation-friendly workflows.
