What is Arcade?
Arcade's AI video tool now works inside Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini via MCP.
Arcade's releases are almost all about AI video. The November release adds an Arcade MCP so users can create and edit videos from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and other assistants, with credit costs shown in the chat. It also adds 60 native voices in 15 more languages and one-click variations of a single video. In October, AI video got its own home and users could pick the model behind each video.
What is Sendible?
Sendible is steadily hardening publishing reliability and reporting accuracy across networks
Sendible's changelog is genuine product work focused on two areas: making publishing more reliable (rebuilt media infrastructure, universal media validation) and improving cross-network reporting (Facebook Reels analytics, corrected LinkedIn follower data). Recent additions include image alt text for accessibility and a redesigned Unified Calendar for managing drafts, scheduled posts, and queues in one view. The feed shows some duplicate entries for the same feature on different dates.

Arcade's AI video tool now works inside Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini via MCP.
◆ Current state
Arcade's releases are almost all about AI video. The November release adds an Arcade MCP so users can create and edit videos from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and other assistants, with credit costs shown in the chat. It also adds 60 native voices in 15 more languages and one-click variations of a single video. In October, AI video got its own home and users could pick the model behind each video.
◆ Where it's heading
Arcade spent the autumn turning its editor into an AI video studio, with style references, curated scenes and model choice. It is now taking that studio into the assistants people already use, and charging per edit in credits. Localisation and variations push it toward producing many versions of one video for different audiences.
◆ Prediction
Expect more agent-facing work, such as deeper MCP actions or usage-based pricing detail, since the MCP launch already exposes credit costs per edit.

Sendible is steadily hardening publishing reliability and reporting accuracy across networks
◆ Current state
Sendible's changelog is genuine product work focused on two areas: making publishing more reliable (rebuilt media infrastructure, universal media validation) and improving cross-network reporting (Facebook Reels analytics, corrected LinkedIn follower data). Recent additions include image alt text for accessibility and a redesigned Unified Calendar for managing drafts, scheduled posts, and queues in one view. The feed shows some duplicate entries for the same feature on different dates.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is operational dependability for social-media managers — fewer failed posts, accurate analytics, and a single workspace for scheduling. Sendible is deepening the core publish-and-measure loop rather than chasing new surfaces. Accessibility (alt text) and unified scheduling suggest attention to workflow polish on top of the reliability foundation.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued reporting-accuracy work across more networks and further consolidation of the scheduling/calendar experience, with reliability remaining the throughline.
