A side-by-side editorial comparison of Streak and Wealthbox — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Streak's MCP server stopped just reading the CRM and started writing to it
Streak ships small and often, along two lines. One makes the Gmail-embedded CRM behave like a modern collaborative app — live viewing avatars on deals, a filterable pipeline activity feed, validation rules that now hold in the mobile apps. The other pushes AI deeper into the deal record: summaries and Q&A reached the Gmail sidebar and mobile, AI answers gained inline citations back to the source email or meeting, and the MCP server gained write access.
Wealthbox is reframing the advisor CRM around agents, with AI Notetaker as the beachhead.
Four of five entries are AI Notetaker releases — three separate enhancement batches across February, April and May, aimed at capturing more conversations, sharing notes across a team, improving reliability, and cutting the admin that follows a client meeting. The outlier is a March announcement of an agent layer that Wealthbox positions as helping run a practice rather than analysing it. Only one non-AI release appears: contact actions inside opportunity workflows.

The MCP server crossing from read to write in June is the hinge. An outside assistant can now create boxes, move deals between stages, create contacts and log emails, which makes the CRM something agents operate rather than something they consult. The entries since fit that reading: the pipeline newsfeed explicitly offers a filter for how AI has been working on deals, and citations exist so a person can audit an AI answer against its source. AI actions are metered in credits, so the more the assistant does, the more there is to account for.
The newsfeed's AI filter and the credit metering both point at oversight and cost of agent activity as the next area of work rather than additional AI surfaces. The other reliable pattern is desktop-to-mobile parity — Q&A made that jump in May, validation rules in July, and the remaining desktop-only behaviors are the obvious queue.

The record-to-action framing is doing real work here: three consecutive quarters of Notetaker investment establish that Wealthbox owns the meeting, and the agent announcement is the claim on what happens between meetings. The single workflow release matters more than its size suggests, because contact actions are the kind of primitive an agent needs to act on rather than just summarise.
Expect the agent layer to be wired into the workflow engine that just gained contact actions, so agents change records rather than only producing meeting notes.
