Plain
Plain built an autonomous support agent, and has now built the controls to trust it.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Infobip and Sleekplan — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
A CPaaS rebuilding around AI agents that act, not just channels that deliver
Infobip publishes quarterly roll-ups, and the feed stores each quarter twice — once as a bare label, once as the summary paragraph. Across Q3 2025 to Q1 2026 the through-line is consistent: AgentOS unifying the communication stack, AI agents that take action rather than reply, MCP servers connecting models to real channels, and AI voice work under Vocalize, against continued WhatsApp, RCS and CDP investment.
Sleekplan rebuilt itself around AI triage, then put the feedback board inside ChatGPT.
Releases are infrequent and arrive as monthly digests with truncated bodies, so scope has to be inferred from direction. The June 2.0 rebuild replaced the admin app and added an AI layer for handling feedback; July connects a workspace to ChatGPT, anonymizes identities on public boards, and adds @-mentions to composers. A rebuilt Chrome extension sits between them, aimed at capture from other tools.

The company is repositioning from delivering messages to running autonomous customer interactions on top of them. Channels are becoming the substrate; the product being sold is the agent layer above. MCP servers matter most here — they make Infobip's channel reach callable by models a customer already runs, rather than requiring Infobip's own agent builder.
Expect the next quarterly to lead with AgentOS depth — orchestration, handoff and measurement across agents — since the channel and MCP groundwork it needs has now shipped over three consecutive quarters.

Both ends of the loop are being pushed out of Sleekplan's own interface. Capture moves to the browser extension where support and sales already work; management moves into the assistant a product manager already has open. The Impact Score rework and identity anonymization address the two objections that follow — that prioritization is opaque, and that public boards leak customer identity.
Expect the ChatGPT connection to be joined by other assistant surfaces on the same pattern, and the 2.0 beta to reach general availability with the AI triage layer as its headline.
