What is Ever Gauzy?
Gauzy's React rewrite becomes a tenant-level switch, and its AI chat learns to listen
Ever Gauzy is shipping at a punishing rate — eleven tags in 48 hours, from v111.35.14 to v111.36.5. Almost all of that traffic is CI hardening and same-day hotfixes; the substance sits in a single tag, v111.36.0. That release adds a tenant-wide switch between the Angular and React front ends, ships the React Time Tracking dashboard at parity with its Angular original, and puts speech-to-text into the AI chat behind eight new provider plugins.
What is Fountain?
Fountain is repairing Source's reporting and navigation while its AI agents build up behind it.
This batch is almost entirely Source — Fountain's sourcing and campaign product — being made trustworthy at scale. The Openings table was reworked to survive accounts with large numbers of openings, campaign budget reporting was corrected where Budget Spend and Target Budget disagreed, a Campaigns page is arriving to aggregate performance across openings, and an Applicants link moved into the left sidebar. Alongside it, WorkBright's state W-4 forms in I-9 Center were refreshed to 2026 versions. The genuinely new capability in the broader feed — Cue Scheduled Tasks and per-customer Sam configuration — sits just outside this window.
Ever Gauzy vs Fountain: editorial side-by-side
Gauzy's React rewrite becomes a tenant-level switch, and its AI chat learns to listen
◆ Current state
Ever Gauzy is shipping at a punishing rate — eleven tags in 48 hours, from v111.35.14 to v111.36.5. Almost all of that traffic is CI hardening and same-day hotfixes; the substance sits in a single tag, v111.36.0. That release adds a tenant-wide switch between the Angular and React front ends, ships the React Time Tracking dashboard at parity with its Angular original, and puts speech-to-text into the AI chat behind eight new provider plugins.
◆ Where it's heading
Two arcs are running in parallel. The React migration has crossed from internal port to a customer-visible choice, which means Gauzy now carries both UIs and every ported dashboard tightens the case for retiring Angular. The AI chat continues to extend the plugin-per-provider architecture it established back in v111.1.0, this time into voice rather than text. The tag stream around both is dominated by CI work — credential scrubbing, registry refactors, runner timeouts — suggesting the build pipeline is the current bottleneck.
◆ Prediction
Expect more Angular dashboards ported to React behind the Preferred-UI switch, one module at a time, and further voice provider plugins added to the existing bring-your-own-key pattern.
Fountain
6.3HR
Fountain is repairing Source's reporting and navigation while its AI agents build up behind it.
◆ Current state
This batch is almost entirely Source — Fountain's sourcing and campaign product — being made trustworthy at scale. The Openings table was reworked to survive accounts with large numbers of openings, campaign budget reporting was corrected where Budget Spend and Target Budget disagreed, a Campaigns page is arriving to aggregate performance across openings, and an Applicants link moved into the left sidebar. Alongside it, WorkBright's state W-4 forms in I-9 Center were refreshed to 2026 versions. The genuinely new capability in the broader feed — Cue Scheduled Tasks and per-customer Sam configuration — sits just outside this window.
◆ Where it's heading
Fountain is doing consolidation work across a suite assembled from several products: making Hire and Source agree on the same hire count, giving campaigns one page instead of several views, and putting universal applicant access one click away. That is the unglamorous prerequisite for the agent layer it is building on top, since Cue and Sam are only as good as the numbers underneath them. The recent releases read as a company fixing its reporting substrate before leaning harder on automation.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Campaigns page to graduate from 'coming to Source' to general availability with the corrected budget metrics wired in, and expect more Hire/Source figure reconciliation of the kind already applied to hire counts.
