Less Annoying CRM lets users pin notes to the top of a contact
LACRM ships slowly and from user requests. Two weeks after October's bundle of six features (scratchpad widget, custom contact labels, event and task search, history filters), it added pinned notes that stay at the top of a contact or company record. Earlier in the year came configurable task views, rich text fields, undo merge and relative date filters.
Lime Connect is turning its AI agent into the default first responder.
Lime Connect ships weekly releases that mostly extend Connect AI, its AI agent and operator copilot. Recent changes show AI involvement per conversation, let operators rate AI actions, and hand email threads back to the AI agent. A Voice Agents alpha in 18 languages, a backup move to French hosting, and tests of European-hosted models mark a push on EU data residency.

The work stays on the daily record view: making the current state of a client easier to see as history grows. No AI, pricing or integration moves appear in the entries.
More small record-view and search features, either one at a time or as another bundle, are the likely next step.

The product is moving from a messaging inbox with a bot toward an AI-first service desk where humans supervise and rate agent actions. Channel work, mainly WhatsApp templates and usernames, keeps pace, while UCP support hints at commerce actions inside conversations. Data residency is becoming part of the pitch.
Voice Agents will likely widen beyond the enterprise alpha, and European-hosted models could become a selectable option. Expect more AI oversight metrics on dashboards.
