What is Less Annoying CRM?

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.

What is Streak?

Streak ships AI autofill templates that score deals and research accounts in one click.

Streak is a Gmail-embedded CRM building on two tracks: live collaboration (viewing indicators on desktop and mobile, mobile data validation, activity-triggered automations) and AI access to deal data. The Claude connector brought outside AI tools in; the new AI autofill templates bring AI into the pipeline itself as columns with ready-written prompts for lead scoring and account research.

Less Annoying CRM vs Streak: editorial side-by-side

L5.0

Less Annoying CRM lets users pin notes to the top of a contact

◆ Current state

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.

◆ Where it's heading

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.

◆ Prediction

More small record-view and search features, either one at a time or as another bundle, are the likely next step.

S5.0

Streak ships AI autofill templates that score deals and research accounts in one click.

◆ Current state

Streak is a Gmail-embedded CRM building on two tracks: live collaboration (viewing indicators on desktop and mobile, mobile data validation, activity-triggered automations) and AI access to deal data. The Claude connector brought outside AI tools in; the new AI autofill templates bring AI into the pipeline itself as columns with ready-written prompts for lead scoring and account research.

◆ Where it's heading

AI is moving from an external integration to something inside the pipeline grid. With automations that fire on new emails, calls and meeting notes, Streak has the parts for pipelines that update and enrich themselves from inbox activity.

◆ Prediction

More AI column templates are the likely next step, and possibly automations that trigger on AI-filled values such as a lead score crossing a threshold.
