Bitrix24's blog explains MCP for small teams; still no product releases.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Fat Free CRM and Wealthbox — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Fat Free CRM's only tracked release is a test tag that pins the Ruby platform back to 3.4.
Fat Free CRM, the open-source Rails CRM, has one tracked entry: an April 2026 GitHub release tagged "test" that normalizes the platform setting and drops back to Ruby 3.4. It is build configuration, not a feature release.
Wealthbox puts 24 prebuilt AI agents on every plan, at no extra charge.
Wealthbox launched AI Agents on November 4 on all plans: 24 prebuilt agents or ones firms build themselves. It caps a busy stretch: a Developer Portal for AI Assistant integrations with Holistiplan and Nitrogen, the $29 Vault add-on for compliant file storage, CarPlay access to the assistant and Formula Fields in the core CRM.

One CI-facing tag is too little to read a direction from. The Ruby version pin hints at maintenance work keeping the app on a supported runtime rather than new CRM capability.
The entries don't support a confident prediction; a tagged versioned release would be the first signal of where the project is heading.
Wealthbox launched AI Agents on November 4 on all plans: 24 prebuilt agents or ones firms build themselves. It caps a busy stretch: a Developer Portal for AI Assistant integrations with Holistiplan and Nitrogen, the $29 Vault add-on for compliant file storage, CarPlay access to the assistant and Formula Fields in the core CRM.
Wealthbox has moved from an assistant that answers questions to agents that do work, while charging for storage and compliance rather than AI. Partner integrations through the Developer Portal give those agents more data to act on.
Expect agents that use partner data from Holistiplan or Nitrogen, and more prebuilt agents; the entries do not list the 24 or the build tools in detail.
