    Remote launches MCP to connect AI tools to its platform

    Remote added MCP support on top of its existing API, giving AI tools a standard way to connect to workforce data. This is a technical add-on rather than a core EOR service change, so it shouldn't move Remote up or down a shortlist by itself.

  2. ProductJul 29, 2026

    Remote rounds up product updates for May–July 2026

    Remote logged a batch of product updates for the May–July 2026 window, though specifics weren't captured here. This doesn't change shortlist timing on its own - confirm details directly with Remote before using it as a decision factor.

  3. IntegrationsJul 24, 2026

    Remote launches Remote MCP for AI-connected workforce data

    Remote MCP adds a direct AI-query layer over live workforce data, which could matter for buyers who prioritize integration flexibility and reporting speed. It doesn't change core EOR pricing or coverage, so it's a secondary factor rather than a reason to shortlist on its own.

    Remote adds contract dashboard, Workday integration, and workflow tools

    A post-onboarding contract-change dashboard, a Workday Global Payroll Connect integration, and parallel multi-team automations push Remote further up on the platform and integration dimensions where it already rates well. Buyers comparing enterprise-grade options should still confirm Workday support and gross-up handling for their specific countries before weighting it.

  5. ProductFeb 23, 2026

    Remote adds visual workflow builder, AI approvals, and payroll time tracking

    A visual automation builder, AI-summarized approvals, and mobile time tracking that feeds payroll directly all target operational overhead. The release reinforces Remote''s position as a platform-strength provider in our dataset and is most relevant to buyers ranking platform depth and payroll accuracy across multi-country teams.

    Remote adds NetSuite sync, calibration tools, and Canada payments

    Two items matter for selection: automatic NetSuite GL sync deepens Remote''s finance-integration profile, and registering as a Money Services Business in Canada lets Remote run Canadian payouts on its own rails instead of through intermediaries. The Canada change is a modest reliability and compliance gain for teams paying there.
