Craft CMS vs Postscript: at a glance
What is Craft CMS?
Craft 6 reaches beta with an AI assistant that edits content through its own MCP tools.
Craft CMS 6.0.0-beta.1 ends the alpha series on the Laravel foundation. It adds Ask AI, a chat panel beside every control panel screen that uses Craft's MCP tools as the signed-in user and proposes changes the user reviews and applies, plus a Ctrl/Cmd+K command palette, a side-by-side Compare screen for drafts, revisions and sites, and copy/paste of field values. The 5.12 stable line gets only single-fix patches.
What is Postscript?
Postscript is handing SMS marketing to an agent that decides each subscriber's next message
Postscript is an SMS and RCS platform for Shopify merchants, and this archive shows it working two fronts at once. On acquisition it has multiplied the places a subscriber can opt in — embedded forms droppable on any page, standalone landing pages built on the popup editor, and Onsite Opt-in at Shoptin checkout. On messaging it is building Shopper, a conversational AI layer that now answers, analyses and increasingly initiates. The feed carries no publication dates, so this is an archive rather than a timeline.

Craft 6 reaches beta with an AI assistant that edits content through its own MCP tools.
◆ Current state
Craft CMS 6.0.0-beta.1 ends the alpha series on the Laravel foundation. It adds Ask AI, a chat panel beside every control panel screen that uses Craft's MCP tools as the signed-in user and proposes changes the user reviews and applies, plus a Ctrl/Cmd+K command palette, a side-by-side Compare screen for drafts, revisions and sites, and copy/paste of field values. The 5.12 stable line gets only single-fix patches.
◆ Where it's heading
The alphas rebuilt the control panel on shared Inertia/Vue components; the beta uses that base to add editor-facing features, with AI assistance and version comparison at the center. Ask AI runs on the same MCP tools and permissions as the user, so Craft is treating AI as another way to operate the control panel rather than a separate content generator.
◆ Prediction
Further 6.0 betas fixing plugin and UI issues are the likely next step, with Ask AI's scope and model settings the area to watch. No release date for 6.0 is visible in the entries.

Postscript is handing SMS marketing to an agent that decides each subscriber's next message
◆ Current state
Postscript is an SMS and RCS platform for Shopify merchants, and this archive shows it working two fronts at once. On acquisition it has multiplied the places a subscriber can opt in — embedded forms droppable on any page, standalone landing pages built on the popup editor, and Onsite Opt-in at Shoptin checkout. On messaging it is building Shopper, a conversational AI layer that now answers, analyses and increasingly initiates. The feed carries no publication dates, so this is an archive rather than a timeline.
◆ Where it's heading
The centre of gravity is shifting from campaign tooling to per-subscriber decisioning. Shopper began as a responder, then gained a research surface over its own conversations, and now decides send timing and content for each individual. Alongside that, RCS is the delivery-side bet: webviews, dynamic product photos and tappable suggested replies all work to make the message thread the destination rather than a pointer to the storefront. Experimentation is being pushed into more of the journey rather than confined to campaign sends.
◆ Prediction
Expect the remaining hand-built primitives — static flows and manual segments — to be folded into Shopper's decisioning, and each new RCS capability to keep shipping with an automatic MMS or browser fallback so merchants can adopt it without maintaining a second path.
