Sales-deal-intelligence platform reaches feature parity across CRMs and embeds Olli into every surface a sales team uses.
Fluint is a sales deal intelligence platform centered on an AI agent named Olli. Visible work covers Microsoft Dynamics 365 added as a third major CRM connector (Salesforce and HubSpot were already supported), an Olli-powered digest and notifications system across email and Slack, Teams for org-structure rollups, a self-serve Startups tier, and Olli reachable as a skill inside Claude via MCP.
GroupOffice ships 7 builds across three version tracks in five weeks — no changelogs disclosed
GroupOffice maintains three parallel release tracks: v6.8.x (legacy), v25.0.x, and v26.0.x, where the version number reflects the year (v26 = 2026). The project ships roughly weekly on the v26 line and periodically backports to v25 and v6.8. Release notes contain no user-visible changelog — every release points only to installation documentation — making it impossible to assess what changes from build to build.

The arc is Olli everywhere — embedding the agent into every surface a sales team already uses (Claude Code, Desktop, Slack DMs, scheduled email digests) and feeding it from every major CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, now Dynamics). Each release simultaneously expands the surface where Olli runs and the data Olli sees. Polish work (Dark Mode, Teams filters) is bundled in, but the directional energy is on agent ubiquity.
Expect more agent-surface integrations next — likely Microsoft Teams, Outlook plugins, or Zoom — plus deeper writeback into CRMs beyond document Notes (quotes, contracts). MCP-style integrations into other AI clients are a likely follow-on as MCP adoption broadens.
GroupOffice maintains three parallel release tracks: v6.8.x (legacy), v25.0.x, and v26.0.x, where the version number reflects the year (v26 = 2026). The project ships roughly weekly on the v26 line and periodically backports to v25 and v6.8. Release notes contain no user-visible changelog — every release points only to installation documentation — making it impossible to assess what changes from build to build.
The sustained weekly cadence on v26.0.x indicates active maintenance, and the simultaneous v25 and v6.8 patches show continued support for customers who haven't migrated to the current major version. Without public changelogs, the feature direction is opaque from this data alone.
The next release will be v26.0.49 or higher; v25 will continue receiving infrequent backport patches alongside the v26 mainline.
