Bigin went all-in on AI in 2026: MCP, Zia agents, now self-running follow-ups and payments.

◆Current state
Bigin's 2026 releases have been AI-first. MCP support arrived in Q1, followed by in-product AI features in May, Zia Agents in Q2, and a dedicated AI-agents rollout in June. Q3 added Sequences for automated follow-ups and Payment Links, and the iOS 27 update tied Bigin into Apple Intelligence and Siri. The feed only carries blog excerpts, so feature depth is partly hidden.
◆Where it's heading
The direction is clear: hand small-business CRM chores to automation and agents, both inside Bigin (Zia Agents, Sequences) and from outside AI clients (MCP, Siri). Payments inside the CRM point to Bigin closing more of the sales loop itself.
◆Prediction
Q4 will likely bring more agent actions wired into Sequences and payments; the excerpts don't reveal specifics beyond that pattern.
