WhatsApp-commerce blog feed is stale — newest entry is late 2024
DoubleTick's feed is WhatsApp-commerce how-to content — CRM roundups, broadcast guides, and selling tips for SMBs. Notably the entries all date to late 2024, so the crawled feed appears stale and no recent activity or changelog is visible.
Chatwoot adds voice to close the last channel gap in its omnichannel support suite
Chatwoot is an open-source omnichannel customer-support platform spanning live chat, email, WhatsApp, social channels, and a help center, with an AI agent called Captain. The headline recent move is voice: phone and WhatsApp calls now run in beta, closing the one major channel gap in an otherwise text-complete product. Around it, steady investment in Captain (auto-syncing knowledge base, Custom Tools to call external APIs, mobile AI Assist), help-center depth (a documentation layout, LLM-aware articles, bulk and translation tooling), and agent-workflow polish (assignment policies, a Participating view).
DoubleTick's feed is WhatsApp-commerce how-to content — CRM roundups, broadcast guides, and selling tips for SMBs. Notably the entries all date to late 2024, so the crawled feed appears stale and no recent activity or changelog is visible.
The content positions DoubleTick around WhatsApp marketing and sales enablement, but with no 2025 or 2026 entries the trajectory is indeterminate — either the blog stopped updating or the crawler is pointed at an archived feed.
Without fresh entries no confident prediction is possible; the feed source most likely needs re-pointing to current content.

Chatwoot is rounding out into a complete omnichannel support suite — adding voice to become genuinely all-channel while making Captain more capable and self-maintaining through fresh knowledge bases, external tool calls, and handoff tuning. The throughline is cutting manual upkeep and channel-switching for support teams, and pushing AI deeper into both answering and knowledge management.
Expect voice to mature out of beta with call routing and reporting (the team flagged these as next), and Captain to keep gaining agentic capability, given the voice-beta roadmap notes and the Custom Tools and auto-sync cadence.
