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 Twenty?
Twenty 2.57 puts the workspace's own assistant name and avatar into the inbox.
Twenty shipped 2.57.0 on November 9 for server, SDK and npm packages, followed hours later by 2.57.1. The patch shows the workspace's configured assistant name and avatar in inbox headers, mentions and previews, still behind the Inbox flag. 2.56.1 on November 5 fixed an upgrade that stalled on workflow code steps containing NUL characters.
Less Annoying CRM vs Twenty: editorial side-by-side
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.
Twenty
5.0CRM
Twenty 2.57 puts the workspace's own assistant name and avatar into the inbox.
◆ Current state
Twenty shipped 2.57.0 on November 9 for server, SDK and npm packages, followed hours later by 2.57.1. The patch shows the workspace's configured assistant name and avatar in inbox headers, mentions and previews, still behind the Inbox flag. 2.56.1 on November 5 fixed an upgrade that stalled on workflow code steps containing NUL characters.
◆ Where it's heading
Twenty keeps a rapid minor-version cadence while building an AI assistant into an inbox that remains flagged. The recent tags mix assistant and inbox work with upgrade fixes, which suggests the inbox is close to wider release.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 2.57.x patches on the inbox and assistant, with the Inbox flag likely lifted in a coming minor.
