What is Planable?
Planable keeps widening channel coverage while bolting an AI and open-API layer onto its approval calendar.
Planable is a social-media content planning and approval workspace where teams draft, review, and publish across channels. Its recent work runs on two tracks: broadening per-channel format coverage (Facebook Stories, Google Business Profile video, LinkedIn mobile publishing) and building an AI-plus-programmability layer (MCP connector, public API, brand-voice context, AI-written ALT text, AI-search visibility analytics). The core calendar-and-approval loop is stable; new surfaces are being added around it rather than reworking it.
What is Sendspark?
Sendspark is wiring personalized video into AI tools and CRM automations
Sendspark makes personalized video for sales and marketing outreach, and its recent work pushes on two fronts: AI, with accurate auto-transcripts on every video, and automation, with HubSpot workflow triggers and a new MCP server that lets AI assistants read campaign and prospect data. A steady stream of reliability fixes across the recorder and dynamic-video pipeline rounds out the releases.

Planable
5.0MARKETING
Planable keeps widening channel coverage while bolting an AI and open-API layer onto its approval calendar.
◆ Current state
Planable is a social-media content planning and approval workspace where teams draft, review, and publish across channels. Its recent work runs on two tracks: broadening per-channel format coverage (Facebook Stories, Google Business Profile video, LinkedIn mobile publishing) and building an AI-plus-programmability layer (MCP connector, public API, brand-voice context, AI-written ALT text, AI-search visibility analytics). The core calendar-and-approval loop is stable; new surfaces are being added around it rather than reworking it.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is Planable moving from a manual approval calendar toward a programmable, AI-assisted hub: nearly every new post surface ships with an AI or automation hook attached. The public API and MCP connector open the product to external tooling and agents, while workspace brand context makes its AI outputs client-specific. Analytics is expanding past measuring your own pages into competitor benchmarking and AI-search visibility.
◆ Prediction
Expect the remaining channels to pick up the same direct/mobile-publish and AI-generation treatment, and the AI features (brand context, ALT text, visibility) to reach deeper into the composing and reporting flow. The API and MCP surfaces suggest more integration and agent-facing capability rather than a pricing or positioning change.

6.3MARKETING
Sendspark is wiring personalized video into AI tools and CRM automations
◆ Current state
Sendspark makes personalized video for sales and marketing outreach, and its recent work pushes on two fronts: AI, with accurate auto-transcripts on every video, and automation, with HubSpot workflow triggers and a new MCP server that lets AI assistants read campaign and prospect data. A steady stream of reliability fixes across the recorder and dynamic-video pipeline rounds out the releases.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is making video a programmable, AI-addressable step in outbound rather than a manual recording chore — transcripts for repurposing and accessibility, CRM-triggered dynamic videos, and MCP access for agents. The product is positioning to stay in workflows that are increasingly orchestrated by software, not people.
◆ Prediction
Expect deeper CRM and workflow integrations plus more agent-accessible surfaces via MCP, letting AI tools generate and route personalized videos with less manual setup.
