folk now pitches itself as the CRM for the agent era.
◆ Current state
folk is a CRM for small sales teams that has spent the autumn opening its data to AI agents. A November 6 post repositions it as 'the CRM for the agent era', turning customer data into context agents act on. October added bulk create and update through folk MCP, enrichment through the API and MCP, call recording in beta and a French interface.
◆ Where it's heading
The positioning now matches what the releases have been building: MCP access, bulk writes and self-enrichment make folk a data layer agents can use. The new post states the direction but ships no new feature itself.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to give agents more write actions through MCP, such as tasks or pipeline moves, to back up the new positioning.
Landbase
5.0CRM
Landbase pivots its content mill to Claude Code how-to guides.
◆ Current state
The tracked Landbase feed is still programmatic content, published in batches with near-identical timestamps. The latest batch is a set of Claude Code and MCP guides for prospecting, recruiting, market research and investing, each routing the workflow through Landbase as the data layer. None of the entries announces a product change.
◆ Where it's heading
The topics have moved from tool listicles to hiring lists to AI-assistant workflows, but the format stays the same: bulk SEO pages. The new angle positions Landbase as a B2B data source that Claude and other MCP clients pull from, rather than as a standalone app.
◆ Prediction
Expect more batches of assistant-workflow guides; whether Landbase ships or documents an actual MCP server is not visible in these entries.
