Streak vs Twenty: at a glance
What is Streak?
Streak ships AI autofill templates that score deals and research accounts in one click.
Streak is a Gmail-embedded CRM building on two tracks: live collaboration (viewing indicators on desktop and mobile, mobile data validation, activity-triggered automations) and AI access to deal data. The Claude connector brought outside AI tools in; the new AI autofill templates bring AI into the pipeline itself as columns with ready-written prompts for lead scoring and account research.
What is Twenty?
Twenty ships 2.56's AI-step permissions overhaul, then a week of patches and tags.
Twenty 2.56.0 on November 5 was a large release: AI workflow steps now run under their own configuration and permission scope (a breaking change), the inbox gains Microsoft Teams, Fathom and LinkedIn conversations, and Claude 5.5 models get effort levels. Since then it has been follow-up work: 2.56.1 unblocks upgrades stalled by workflow code steps containing NUL characters, 2.57.0 is a code-cleanup tag published to npm, and 2.57.1 shows the configured assistant name and avatar in the inbox.
Streak vs Twenty: editorial side-by-side
Streak
5.0CRM
Streak ships AI autofill templates that score deals and research accounts in one click.
◆ Current state
Streak is a Gmail-embedded CRM building on two tracks: live collaboration (viewing indicators on desktop and mobile, mobile data validation, activity-triggered automations) and AI access to deal data. The Claude connector brought outside AI tools in; the new AI autofill templates bring AI into the pipeline itself as columns with ready-written prompts for lead scoring and account research.
◆ Where it's heading
AI is moving from an external integration to something inside the pipeline grid. With automations that fire on new emails, calls and meeting notes, Streak has the parts for pipelines that update and enrich themselves from inbox activity.
◆ Prediction
More AI column templates are the likely next step, and possibly automations that trigger on AI-filled values such as a lead score crossing a threshold.
Twenty
5.0CRM
Twenty ships 2.56's AI-step permissions overhaul, then a week of patches and tags.
◆ Current state
Twenty 2.56.0 on November 5 was a large release: AI workflow steps now run under their own configuration and permission scope (a breaking change), the inbox gains Microsoft Teams, Fathom and LinkedIn conversations, and Claude 5.5 models get effort levels. Since then it has been follow-up work: 2.56.1 unblocks upgrades stalled by workflow code steps containing NUL characters, 2.57.0 is a code-cleanup tag published to npm, and 2.57.1 shows the configured assistant name and avatar in the inbox.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is turning its inbox into a place where AI assistants and people work in the same threads, with permissions tightened to match. Releases are frequent and many entries are SDK or npm tags with no user-visible change.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Inbox flag to come off for more workspaces and more messaging channels to arrive as apps, following Teams, Fathom and LinkedIn.
