Wagepoint
Wagepoint puts an AI reviewer on the one screen where payroll mistakes become expensive.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Ever Gauzy and Workable — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Ever Gauzy tagged ten releases in a day, and two of them stop logging your database password
Ever Gauzy cuts releases continuously — the ten most recent tags all landed on a single day, many carrying nothing but the same cherry-picked CI changes. Underneath the noise, two real threads run through this window: a security fix that stops the database password being written to logs at startup and hardens credential redaction, and a run of fixes for permission gates that were looping forever and wedging the browser.
Workable is building an HR suite around an agent that runs the top of the hiring funnel.
The Workable Agent is generally available on a per-candidate credit model, sourcing and screening against an Ideal Candidate Profile that customers can now edit and replay across an existing pipeline. Around it, Workable has expanded well past the ATS: performance reviews, engagement surveys, HRIS reporting, entity-scoped admin permissions, and a 30-tool MCP server. The interface now ships in French, Canadian French, Danish and Dutch.

The release process is generating far more tags than releases, with identical continuous-integration entries republished across consecutive versions and the same credential fix appearing in multiple tags. The substantive work is corrective: permission-gate literals in the documents, plugins and AI integration UIs, and credential handling in core. This is a project stabilising recent feature work rather than extending it.
Expect the permission-gate cleanup to continue across remaining UI modules, and the tag volume to stay high until the release-tag gate changes being cherry-picked here settle.

Two things are compounding. The agent is being given controls, auditability and re-evaluation rather than more autonomy, which is what enterprise buyers ask for before they let software auto-disqualify applicants. Meanwhile the HRIS side keeps absorbing adjacent categories that customers previously bought separately, most visibly employee surveys. Workable is trying to be the system of record for the whole employee lifecycle, with hiring as the entry point.
Mobile localization is already flagged as coming, and the credit-based agent plus a broad MCP surface points toward the agent being callable from outside Workable rather than only from inside a job.
