3CX lands V20 Update 9 — redesigned web client and AI assistants in the PBX
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Lark and Bizzabo — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Lark concentrates monthly updates on Base — automation branching, mobile dashboards, layout reset — while the collaboration suite holds steady.
Lark's monthly update cadence is centered on Lark Base, the suite's no-code data tool. V7.65 adds advanced formatting and branch settings to Base automations; V7.64 makes dashboard charts interactive on the mobile app; V7.62 ships one-click reset for custom Base record detail page layouts; V7.63 introduces AHA PC Doctor as an in-app self-service troubleshooter. V7.60 polishes image highlights in comments and V7.59 expands message-sending options in Base automated workflows.
Bizzy AI goes platform-wide as Bizzabo's attendee copilot graduates to every event
Bizzabo is an enterprise event-management platform. Its feed is mostly SEO/education content on sponsorship, lead capture, and platform comparisons, but the most recent entry is a genuine product move: its Bizzy AI attendee copilot is now available for every event, not just select programs.

V7.60 polishes image highlights in comments and V7.59 expands message-sending options in Base automated workflows.
Lark is investing heavily in Base's automation depth and admin ergonomics — branch settings, granular automation triggers, mobile-first dashboard interaction, layout management. Earlier versions in the index (V7.51 AI in Base, V7.55 new workspaces, V7.58 condition-group permissions) confirm Base as the consistent center of feature work. The broader collaboration suite (chat, docs, calendar) is held steady while Base evolves.
Expect more agentic AI inside Base (extending the V7.51 thread), continued mobile parity with desktop dashboards, and deeper automation features — multi-step branching with conditions, more third-party connectors. Self-service support (PC Doctor) is likely to expand to mobile and Mac.
Bizzabo is an enterprise event-management platform. Its feed is mostly SEO/education content on sponsorship, lead capture, and platform comparisons, but the most recent entry is a genuine product move: its Bizzy AI attendee copilot is now available for every event, not just select programs.
Bizzabo is threading AI through the attendee experience — session recommendations, logistical Q&A, and engagement data — while its content arm pushes the sponsorship-ROI and lead-capture-to-pipeline story to enterprise buyers. The platform is converging on AI-assisted events plus measurable revenue attribution.
Expect Bizzy AI to expand from attendee-facing help into organizer-side workflows (analytics, recommendations, sponsor matching), and for the blog to keep tying events to pipeline.
