What is DoneDone?

DoneDone smooths daily work: paste-in checklists and replies that keep their formatting.

DoneDone's latest release is two quality-of-life changes. New checklists open a popup where items can be typed or pasted in bulk, and replies now keep bold, italics and lists. They follow a busy late summer: workflow automations, custom fields, email-to-task, allow/block filters, and one email connection feeding several Mailboxes.

What is Frill?

Frill is turning its feedback board from a destination into something machines read on demand.

The MCP server is the centrepiece: ten tools, one API key, no configuration, callable from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Intercom Fin, and included on every plan rather than gated. The Chrome extension follows the same instinct from the capture side — grab an idea wherever you spot it, and collapse a long help desk thread into a clean idea with an AI summary in one click. Behind both sits the June groundwork: a public npm SDK, multiple API keys, webhook handling, and MCP in public beta.

DoneDone vs Frill: editorial side-by-side

D
DoneDone
SUPPORT
5.0

DoneDone smooths daily work: paste-in checklists and replies that keep their formatting.

◆ Current state

DoneDone's latest release is two quality-of-life changes. New checklists open a popup where items can be typed or pasted in bulk, and replies now keep bold, italics and lists. They follow a busy late summer: workflow automations, custom fields, email-to-task, allow/block filters, and one email connection feeding several Mailboxes.

◆ Where it's heading

After two substantive launches (automations and custom fields), DoneDone has shifted to tightening the email-driven support workflow and cutting friction in everyday task handling. The cadence is roughly one or two updates a month, each narrow in scope.

◆ Prediction

Expect more email-pipeline and checklist refinements; automations may gain new triggers, given checklist templates already hook into status changes.

6.3

Frill is turning its feedback board from a destination into something machines read on demand.

◆ Current state

The MCP server is the centrepiece: ten tools, one API key, no configuration, callable from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Intercom Fin, and included on every plan rather than gated. The Chrome extension follows the same instinct from the capture side — grab an idea wherever you spot it, and collapse a long help desk thread into a clean idea with an AI summary in one click. Behind both sits the June groundwork: a public npm SDK, multiple API keys, webhook handling, and MCP in public beta.

◆ Where it's heading

Frill is systematically removing the requirement to be in Frill. Capture moves to wherever the conversation already happens; retrieval moves to whatever assistant the team already uses. That reframes the product as the feedback store rather than the feedback interface, and the pricing decision reinforces it — putting MCP on every plan optimises for the corpus being queried, not for upsell. The earlier enterprise work (EU hosting, EntraID SSO, CSP) is what makes that store trustworthy enough to hold the data.

◆ Prediction

Expect write paths to follow the read paths — an assistant that can already ask what users want will next be expected to file, merge and status ideas — and expect more capture surfaces beyond the browser extension.
