What is Gromox?
Gromox keeps closing the gap with Exchange one protocol surface at a time — this round it's IMAP flags and Outlook for Mac.
Gromox ships a numbered release roughly monthly, each a mix of Exchange-protocol enhancements and fixes across emsmdb, EWS, IMAP, and the store layer. Version 3.10 makes midb synchronize IMAP message flags to and from the mailbox so they survive deletion of midb.sqlite3, adds IMAP keyword support, teaches EWS the Outlook-for-Mac smart response draft types, extends FindPeople and GetUserPhoto to personal contacts, and adds a short-TTL cache for recurring user ID and group membership lookups.
What is Krisp?
Krisp ships weekly call center AI updates: voice translation in 20+ languages, deepfake detection.
Krisp has committed fully to enterprise call center AI, shipping weekly cadence updates rather than major versioned releases. The product now covers voice translation across 20+ languages including Cantonese and Valencian, accent conversion targeting BPO workforces, deepfake risk visibility, and QA scoring tied to recorded call moments. Admin controls have grown substantially, with conditional call recording, SCIM user management, and a Notification Center.

Gromox
2.5COMMS
Gromox keeps closing the gap with Exchange one protocol surface at a time — this round it's IMAP flags and Outlook for Mac.
◆ Current state
Gromox ships a numbered release roughly monthly, each a mix of Exchange-protocol enhancements and fixes across emsmdb, EWS, IMAP, and the store layer. Version 3.10 makes midb synchronize IMAP message flags to and from the mailbox so they survive deletion of midb.sqlite3, adds IMAP keyword support, teaches EWS the Outlook-for-Mac smart response draft types, extends FindPeople and GetUserPhoto to personal contacts, and adds a short-TTL cache for recurring user ID and group membership lookups.
◆ Where it's heading
The project is methodically completing Microsoft's protocol surface rather than building an alternative one. EWS went from partial handlers in 3.2 to the full meeting, delegate, and task surface in 3.6, and now picks up client-specific dialects like Outlook for Mac's draft types. IMAP is on the same path — keywords and colour categories in 3.8, IMAP4rev2 pieces, and now flag durability. Meanwhile the store layer keeps being split and cached for operability. The audience is clearly administrators migrating off Exchange or Kopano who need existing clients to behave unchanged.
◆ Prediction
Expect IMAP4rev2 coverage to keep filling in and more client-specific EWS dialects to appear as particular Outlook builds are tested against it.
Krisp
5.0COMMS
Krisp ships weekly call center AI updates: voice translation in 20+ languages, deepfake detection.
◆ Current state
Krisp has committed fully to enterprise call center AI, shipping weekly cadence updates rather than major versioned releases. The product now covers voice translation across 20+ languages including Cantonese and Valencian, accent conversion targeting BPO workforces, deepfake risk visibility, and QA scoring tied to recorded call moments. Admin controls have grown substantially, with conditional call recording, SCIM user management, and a Notification Center.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern across these entries is sustained horizontal expansion of the call center AI stack — more languages, more admin controls, more QA capabilities. Krisp is building toward a complete compliance and quality assurance layer on top of voice. The addition of audit log API access signals intent to connect into larger enterprise systems. The next natural extensions are deeper analytics dashboards or integrations with CRM and workforce management platforms.
◆ Prediction
Expect a formal integration announcement with one or more major CCaaS platforms — the API audit logs and enterprise compliance controls suggest Krisp is positioning for procurement alongside tools like Genesys or NICE rather than as a standalone purchase.
