Bitrix24's blog explains MCP for small teams; still no product releases.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of GroupOffice and Streak — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
GroupOffice patches its 25.0 and 6.8 lines again, still with no notes.
GroupOffice ships maintenance builds across three release lines at once. On November 12 it tagged 6.8.183 and 25.0.117, and on November 13 it followed with 6.8.184 and 25.0.118 within forty minutes. Every note is the same install boilerplate, so the feed shows cadence but not what changed.
Streak's Gmail CRM keeps adding AI fields and team presence, now on mobile too.
Streak is a CRM inside Gmail that has spent 2026 connecting to AI: an MCP server that can create records, a one-click Claude connector, and October's AI autofill templates for lead scoring and account research. Automations can fire on new emails, calls and meeting notes. Mobile apps now show which teammates are viewing a deal, matching desktop.

The 6.8 line, two majors behind current, has now had four patches in nine days, while 26.0 keeps a weekly rhythm. That points to fixes being backported to long-supported installs rather than new features, though the notes never say so.
A 26.0.60 build is the likely next tag within days, since 26.0 has shipped weekly and was left out of the November 12 pair.

Streak is turning email activity into structured data that AI tools and automations can act on, while closing mobile parity gaps for reps. The AI work has moved from integrations with outside assistants to AI features inside the pipeline itself.
More AI autofill templates and automation triggers are likely next; the entries do not show pricing changes for AI features.
