What is Trilium Notes?
Trilium adds spreadsheets and OCR while deliberately ripping out its LLM integration
Trilium Notes is on a steady minor cadence under its post-handover maintainership. The current arc is striking for cutting against the grain: 0.103 introduces new note types (spreadsheet) and OCR, while 0.102 removed the built-in LLM integration outright and shipped urgent security fixes.
What is Claap?
Claap turns meeting capture into agent-connected revenue intelligence, now on mobile and over MCP.
Claap, which began as a meeting-recording and async-video tool, is increasingly a revenue-intelligence platform. Recent releases add Deal and Company Reports that tell the full deal story beyond CRM stage, HubSpot field enrichment, VOIP integrations, admin automations, MCP access to its AI columns, and a mobile app that captures in-person meetings. The connecting thread is turning captured conversations into structured, CRM-connected revenue signal.

Trilium Notes
3.8COLLAB
Trilium adds spreadsheets and OCR while deliberately ripping out its LLM integration
◆ Current state
Trilium Notes is on a steady minor cadence under its post-handover maintainership. The current arc is striking for cutting against the grain: 0.103 introduces new note types (spreadsheet) and OCR, while 0.102 removed the built-in LLM integration outright and shipped urgent security fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is a focused, locally-grounded knowledge tool — adding structured data (spreadsheets) and document capture (OCR) while shedding hard-to-maintain AI features. Trilium is optimizing for a maintainable, privacy-respecting core rather than chasing AI parity.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued capability depth in note types and capture (spreadsheet, OCR) with AI staying out of core, and security responsiveness remaining a priority.
Claap
7.5COLLAB
Claap turns meeting capture into agent-connected revenue intelligence, now on mobile and over MCP.
◆ Current state
Claap, which began as a meeting-recording and async-video tool, is increasingly a revenue-intelligence platform. Recent releases add Deal and Company Reports that tell the full deal story beyond CRM stage, HubSpot field enrichment, VOIP integrations, admin automations, MCP access to its AI columns, and a mobile app that captures in-person meetings. The connecting thread is turning captured conversations into structured, CRM-connected revenue signal.
◆ Where it's heading
Claap is moving up the stack from recording into deal intelligence and CRM connective tissue, with an agentic bent — exposing its AI data to MCP clients and writing enrichment back into HubSpot. Mobile capture of in-person meetings extends its reach to conversations rivals built around video calls can't see.
◆ Prediction
Expect the iOS app to follow Android, deeper CRM write-back beyond HubSpot, and more MCP/agent surface — continuing the pivot from meeting recorder toward a revenue-intelligence layer that feeds the CRM.
