What is Fibery?
Fibery hands integrations to AI: describe any HTTP API and it builds, tests and hosts the connector.
Fibery ships weekly, and its recent releases put AI at the center of how the workspace gets built: Custom Apps generate interfaces, a new AI Agent arrived in September, and the October 8 release added Space data hidden from Admins. The October 15 release previews AI-built Custom Integrations, where a user describes a source and AI writes, tests and runs the connector with OAuth and webhooks. The MCP server also gains an execute_code tool that lets agents chain calls in a script, and rich-text changes now show as diffs with notifications.
What is Rize?
Rize ships its biggest release: a redesign, a web app, and an AI agent that sits across every view.
Rize is now an agency operations platform built on automatic time tracking, and its October 20 release rebuilds the product around that identity. A new design system and table-based views replace the old layout, a web app joins the desktop client, and meetings, labels and workspace defaults all gain team-level controls. The Rize AI agent now reaches dashboards, people, clients and projects through @mentions, and runs on schedules through Routines.
Fibery vs Rize: editorial side-by-side
Fibery
8.8PM
Fibery hands integrations to AI: describe any HTTP API and it builds, tests and hosts the connector.
◆ Current state
Fibery ships weekly, and its recent releases put AI at the center of how the workspace gets built: Custom Apps generate interfaces, a new AI Agent arrived in September, and the October 8 release added Space data hidden from Admins. The October 15 release previews AI-built Custom Integrations, where a user describes a source and AI writes, tests and runs the connector with OAuth and webhooks. The MCP server also gains an execute_code tool that lets agents chain calls in a script, and rich-text changes now show as diffs with notifications.
◆ Where it's heading
Fibery keeps replacing things it would otherwise build by hand, first views and apps and now integrations, with AI-generated equivalents users can request. Each shift adds a usage-based cost line: AI credits for building and, after the preview, compute charges for running connectors. Controls such as attribution, usage dashboards and permission splits are growing alongside.
◆ Prediction
Expect compute pricing for Custom Integrations once the 2–4 week preview ends, followed by an MCP tool for creating connectors, which the release lists as missing. Two-way sync is also listed as a current limit, but the entries don't say whether it is planned.
Rize
5.0PM
Rize ships its biggest release: a redesign, a web app, and an AI agent that sits across every view.
◆ Current state
Rize is now an agency operations platform built on automatic time tracking, and its October 20 release rebuilds the product around that identity. A new design system and table-based views replace the old layout, a web app joins the desktop client, and meetings, labels and workspace defaults all gain team-level controls. The Rize AI agent now reaches dashboards, people, clients and projects through @mentions, and runs on schedules through Routines.
◆ Where it's heading
The August agency suite added the billing and margin layer; this release makes the agent the way users move through that layer. Saved dashboards, AI reports and scheduled Routines turn tracked time into something the agent queries and acts on, rather than a log a person reads. Meeting transcripts from Fathom and Granola, plus AI-assigned labels, push more of the categorization work off the user and onto automation.
◆ Prediction
Expect Meetings to leave beta and more transcript or calendar sources to follow, since that page is the only beta in an otherwise shipped release. Whether the web app reaches parity with desktop tracking is unclear from these entries.
