What is Octopus.do?

Octopus.do spends October on the canvas: compact layout, statuses, sticky notes, arrow labels.

Octopus.do is a sitemap and content-planning tool that became agent-operable in August through ChatGPT and Claude apps, an MCP server and a REST API. September added team features; since mid-October it has shipped canvas work: a Compact layout for large sitemaps, project statuses, sticky notes that move with pages, and labels on arrows.

What is Pitch?

Pitch turns AI-native — from 25+ slide actions to a full deck-building Agent — while adding enterprise controls.

Pitch is a presentation platform that has moved decisively toward AI-assisted deck creation. Over the past year it layered in 25+ AI slide actions, built-in AI image generation, and now Pitch Agent — a chat-driven agent that generates on-brand, editable decks from real templates. In parallel it is hardening for larger teams with teamspaces and SCIM provisioning.

Octopus.do vs Pitch: editorial side-by-side

O5.0

Octopus.do spends October on the canvas: compact layout, statuses, sticky notes, arrow labels.

◆ Current state

Octopus.do is a sitemap and content-planning tool that became agent-operable in August through ChatGPT and Claude apps, an MCP server and a REST API. September added team features; since mid-October it has shipped canvas work: a Compact layout for large sitemaps, project statuses, sticky notes that move with pages, and labels on arrows.

◆ Where it's heading

After the agent integrations and team layer, the product is refining the sitemap itself as a review artifact that clients and teams can annotate and approve. The releases are small and steady, roughly weekly.

◆ Prediction

Expect more review-workflow features such as approvals or status-based filtering; the entries don't show new agent or MCP work since August.

2.5

Pitch turns AI-native — from 25+ slide actions to a full deck-building Agent — while adding enterprise controls.

◆ Current state

Pitch is a presentation platform that has moved decisively toward AI-assisted deck creation. Over the past year it layered in 25+ AI slide actions, built-in AI image generation, and now Pitch Agent — a chat-driven agent that generates on-brand, editable decks from real templates. In parallel it is hardening for larger teams with teamspaces and SCIM provisioning.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is clear: automate deck creation end to end — the Agent generates, refines via chat, and acts as a creative partner — while making Pitch safe for enterprise rollout via segmented teamspaces, SCIM, and expiring links. Editor quality-of-life work continues underneath, but the headline bets are agentic generation and team-scale administration.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued investment in Pitch Agent — deeper chat refinement and brand fidelity — alongside more enterprise controls following teamspaces and SCIM.
