What is Slite?
Slite extends its MCP surface to comment-thread actions and folds Super's AI engine into Ask.
Slite is running two parallel investments. On the AI side, the Ask feature got upgraded to the same engine that powers Super (Slite's standalone AI product), and the MCP integration — which lets Claude, ChatGPT, and other clients act on the workspace under existing permissions — gained the ability to read and resolve comment threads. On the editor side, multi-column layouts landed via a /column slash command. Several feed entries are cookie-banner and privacy boilerplate scrapes from the marketing site, crowding out actual product entries.
What is Skedda?
Skedda keeps widening from desk booking toward full workplace operations.
Skedda is a workplace booking platform steadily absorbing the operations work around hybrid offices — visitor management, facilities issue reporting, presence search, and now on-tablet room control. This batch mixes one capability-surface expansion (walk-up tablet terminals) with a stack of booking-flow refinements: equipment add-ons, day-scoped priority windows, and deeper Microsoft sync. The product is no longer just 'reserve a desk'; it is accreting the operational layer that sits on top of the booking.

Slite
6.3COLLAB
Slite extends its MCP surface to comment-thread actions and folds Super's AI engine into Ask.
◆ Current state
Slite is running two parallel investments. On the AI side, the Ask feature got upgraded to the same engine that powers Super (Slite's standalone AI product), and the MCP integration — which lets Claude, ChatGPT, and other clients act on the workspace under existing permissions — gained the ability to read and resolve comment threads. On the editor side, multi-column layouts landed via a /column slash command. Several feed entries are cookie-banner and privacy boilerplate scrapes from the marketing site, crowding out actual product entries.
◆ Where it's heading
Slite is positioning the workspace as both a destination editor (multi-column, protected docs, table improvements) and a callable surface for external AI agents through MCP. The combination of Ask running on Super's engine plus MCP comment-thread actions tells a clear story: Slite wants to be the knowledge layer that AI agents use, not just a tool that has its own AI. By exposing comment-thread resolution through MCP, agents can now drive workflow forward — close out questions, mark decisions made — rather than only reading documents.
◆ Prediction
Expect MCP coverage to extend to broader workflow primitives next — task assignment, doc creation from agent-supplied templates, permission-aware sharing — and Ask to gain agent-to-agent handoff to Super for deeper synthesis. The cookie-banner entries are also a signal to swap the crawler from the marketing site over to slite.com/changelog.
Skedda
6.3COLLAB
Skedda keeps widening from desk booking toward full workplace operations.
◆ Current state
Skedda is a workplace booking platform steadily absorbing the operations work around hybrid offices — visitor management, facilities issue reporting, presence search, and now on-tablet room control. This batch mixes one capability-surface expansion (walk-up tablet terminals) with a stack of booking-flow refinements: equipment add-ons, day-scoped priority windows, and deeper Microsoft sync. The product is no longer just 'reserve a desk'; it is accreting the operational layer that sits on top of the booking.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is to turn every touchpoint — map, tablet, Outlook, visitor kiosk — into a Skedda surface, cutting the need to open the web app at all. Walk-up tablet booking and two-way Microsoft approval sync both attack that friction from opposite ends. The visitor, check-in, insights, and issue-reporting work points at Skedda owning the physical-presence layer, not just the reservation.
◆ Prediction
Next likely move is extending the tablet terminal further — room-status display, wayfinding, or walk-up usage analytics — building on the check-in and Insights data Skedda has already shipped.
