What is Folk?

folk is unbundling its CRM into surfaces: an agent, a phone, and now an API.

folk spent April automating data upkeep inside the app, then spent three weeks in July adding three new ways to reach the same contact data: an MCP server, a native mobile app, and an Interactions API beta. The CRM workspace itself has changed little; what changed is who and what can address it. The changelog entries are one-line teasers with no release detail, so the depth of each launch is hard to verify from the feed alone.

What is Onepagecrm?

OnePageCRM bets on WhatsApp-first selling and AI agents for SMB CRM admin

OnePageCRM is a CRM for small businesses that ships weekly. Recent work clusters around messaging-channel breadth (WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage templates and chat buttons, one-click call and message), AI assistance (TL;DR contact summaries with next-best-actions), email outreach (Sequences and a new Max plan), and now connecting the CRM to ChatGPT and Claude so AI agents can handle admin.

folk is unbundling its CRM into surfaces: an agent, a phone, and now an API.

◆ Current state

folk spent April automating data upkeep inside the app, then spent three weeks in July adding three new ways to reach the same contact data: an MCP server, a native mobile app, and an Interactions API beta. The CRM workspace itself has changed little; what changed is who and what can address it. The changelog entries are one-line teasers with no release detail, so the depth of each launch is hard to verify from the feed alone.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern here is access, not features. MCP made the records agent-addressable, the mobile app made them capturable away from a desk, and the Interactions API opens the highest-value slice of the dataset to outside builders. folk is positioning itself as a contact graph that other tools read and write, rather than a destination app users are expected to sit in.

◆ Prediction

Expect the Interactions API to exit beta with pricing attached, and the mobile app to keep absorbing capture features the way the business card scanner did two weeks after launch.

OnePageCRM bets on WhatsApp-first selling and AI agents for SMB CRM admin

◆ Current state

OnePageCRM is a CRM for small businesses that ships weekly. Recent work clusters around messaging-channel breadth (WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage templates and chat buttons, one-click call and message), AI assistance (TL;DR contact summaries with next-best-actions), email outreach (Sequences and a new Max plan), and now connecting the CRM to ChatGPT and Claude so AI agents can handle admin.

◆ Where it's heading

OnePageCRM is positioning as the affordable, WhatsApp- and AI-friendly CRM for small businesses — leaning into the channels its SMB users actually sell on, WhatsApp especially, and folding AI into both data entry (agent connectors) and reading (TL;DR summaries). The Max plan signals a packaging and monetization push around email sequencing.

◆ Prediction

Expect the AI-agent connection to ChatGPT and Claude to deepen with more CRM actions exposed, and continued messaging-channel and template work, given the back-to-back WhatsApp and AI releases.
