What is Smartsheet?

Smartsheet becomes where plans drafted in Claude Sheets get executed.

Smartsheet is rebuilding its core around table view: a table view report builder, Enterprise sheets above 500,000 cells, reports above 1,500,000 rows and a new Gantt view with critical path. On November 10 it added a beta that sends a plan started in Claude Sheets into Smartsheet, ready for a team to act on. Earlier it retired card view for Enterprise and limited AI to Table, Board and Timeline views.

What is Super Productivity?

Super Productivity's feed shows a docs commit, not a release, since August.

The last tagged release is v18.21.2 in late August, which repaired legacy data migration and sync privacy after the 18.21 device-list and live-presence work. The newest entry is a branch tag on a docs commit recording known capture gaps for repeat tasks and time blocks, not a release.

Smartsheet becomes where plans drafted in Claude Sheets get executed.

◆ Current state

Smartsheet is rebuilding its core around table view: a table view report builder, Enterprise sheets above 500,000 cells, reports above 1,500,000 rows and a new Gantt view with critical path. On November 10 it added a beta that sends a plan started in Claude Sheets into Smartsheet, ready for a team to act on. Earlier it retired card view for Enterprise and limited AI to Table, Board and Timeline views.

◆ Where it's heading

Two tracks are visible. The core product is consolidating onto fewer, larger views, and Smartsheet is positioning itself as the execution layer for work drafted elsewhere, starting with an AI spreadsheet. Imports from SharePoint and Workday sync point the same way: pull data in, run the work in Smartsheet.

◆ Prediction

Expect the Claude Sheets handoff to leave beta and similar send-to paths from other AI assistants, since the release frames Smartsheet as the destination rather than the drafting tool.

S2.5

Super Productivity's feed shows a docs commit, not a release, since August.

◆ Current state

The last tagged release is v18.21.2 in late August, which repaired legacy data migration and sync privacy after the 18.21 device-list and live-presence work. The newest entry is a branch tag on a docs commit recording known capture gaps for repeat tasks and time blocks, not a release.

◆ Where it's heading

The 18.x line built SuperSync into an account surface with device management and encrypted-only uploads, then paused for repair. The docs commit suggests work on task capture is underway, but nothing has shipped in the feed since.

◆ Prediction

The next release likely addresses repeat-task and time-block capture, given the recorded gaps; the feed shows no date.
