What is Claap?

Claap turns calls into promptable columns — and hands the whole table to your agent over MCP.

Claap is a meeting recorder that has spent this window becoming a structured data layer for revenue teams. AI Fields, shipped in July, lets a user write a prompt and get a typed column — a rating, a status, a text value — computed across every call in a meeting or deal view, auto-run on new calls and synced to the CRM. The month before, those same tables and columns were made readable by Claude and any other MCP client, and field enrichment gained deeper HubSpot targets. Around that core sit capture and reporting expansions: mobile apps for in-person meetings, automatic capture of contact email alongside calls, and Deal and Company reports built on the conversation record rather than the CRM stage.

What is Double?

Ask Double can now read and post in Microsoft Teams on an accountant's behalf.

Double is an accounting-practice platform built around QuickBooks Online, with the Ask Double assistant at its centre. The October 22 release connects Ask Double to Microsoft Teams, where it can read chats and channels and send messages as the user after confirmation, and lets it draft executive summaries and act on batches of tasks. Bookkeeping work continues alongside: customer-level and whole-P&L allocations, partial fixed-asset disposals and reminders for every open client request. The week before brought Ask Double to Xero and Consolidations in beta.

Claap turns calls into promptable columns — and hands the whole table to your agent over MCP.

◆ Current state

Claap is a meeting recorder that has spent this window becoming a structured data layer for revenue teams. AI Fields, shipped in July, lets a user write a prompt and get a typed column — a rating, a status, a text value — computed across every call in a meeting or deal view, auto-run on new calls and synced to the CRM. The month before, those same tables and columns were made readable by Claude and any other MCP client, and field enrichment gained deeper HubSpot targets. Around that core sit capture and reporting expansions: mobile apps for in-person meetings, automatic capture of contact email alongside calls, and Deal and Company reports built on the conversation record rather than the CRM stage.

◆ Where it's heading

The arc is unusually consistent — every release widens the input corpus or sharpens the output schema. Calls, then email, then in-person meetings recorded on a phone all flow into one deal timeline; on the other side, insights hardened into typed columns, then into user-defined prompted columns, then into something an external agent can read directly. That last move matters most: Claap is positioning as a source its customers' own AI reads, not only a dashboard people open, which is a different competitive posture than a call recorder that keeps its analysis inside its own UI. The feed also emits duplicate posts for several releases, so raw entry counts overstate the shipping cadence.

◆ Prediction

The next step suggested by these entries is writing rather than reading — AI Fields that trigger actions or CRM updates on a computed value, not just sync a column — since the prompt, the schedule and the CRM connection are all already in place.

7.5

Ask Double can now read and post in Microsoft Teams on an accountant's behalf.

◆ Current state

Double is an accounting-practice platform built around QuickBooks Online, with the Ask Double assistant at its centre. The October 22 release connects Ask Double to Microsoft Teams, where it can read chats and channels and send messages as the user after confirmation, and lets it draft executive summaries and act on batches of tasks. Bookkeeping work continues alongside: customer-level and whole-P&L allocations, partial fixed-asset disposals and reminders for every open client request. The week before brought Ask Double to Xero and Consolidations in beta.

◆ Where it's heading

Two tracks run in parallel: fuller QBO bookkeeping coverage and an AI layer that reaches across a firm's tools. Teams is the first connector in these entries where Ask Double writes outside the ledger, not just reads, with a confirmation step as the guardrail. The assistant is becoming the way staff operate Double in bulk, from tasks to reports.

◆ Prediction

Expect more write-capable connectors with the same confirm-before-send pattern, and Ask Double on Xero gaining write actions after its read-only beta.
