folk now pitches itself as the CRM for the agent era.
◆ Current state
folk is a CRM for small sales teams that has spent the autumn opening its data to AI agents. A November 6 post repositions it as 'the CRM for the agent era', turning customer data into context agents act on. October added bulk create and update through folk MCP, enrichment through the API and MCP, call recording in beta and a French interface.
◆ Where it's heading
The positioning now matches what the releases have been building: MCP access, bulk writes and self-enrichment make folk a data layer agents can use. The new post states the direction but ships no new feature itself.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to give agents more write actions through MCP, such as tasks or pipeline moves, to back up the new positioning.
Snov.io
5.0CRM
Snov.io's October update brings LinkedIn Prospect Finder 4.0 and an AI Assistant.
◆ Current state
Snov.io spent 2026 adding ChatGPT and Claude integrations, an n8n node, company enrichment, AI web enrichment and, in September, an AI message writer. The October roundup headlines LinkedIn Prospect Finder 4.0 and an AI Assistant. Update posts in this feed are short summaries, so feature detail is thin.
◆ Where it's heading
The year's arc runs from data (enrichment, bulk email search) toward AI that acts on it (writer, assistant), with LinkedIn tooling refreshed alongside. Monthly roundups remain the release vehicle.
◆ Prediction
Expect November's roundup to extend the AI Assistant into more of the outreach workflow; the entries are too brief to say which parts.
