Double vs Interact: at a glance
What is Double?
Double is turning its accounting assistant into the way the work gets done
Double ships weekly, and nearly every release extends Ask Double rather than the surrounding application. In the last two months it has learned to build workpapers by reconciling accounts against supporting documents, import accruals, create and manage client metrics through the MCP and API, take voice input, and — in private beta — reach into Slack, Notion, and HubSpot. The non-assistant work fills in what firms need to trust that: role-based restrictions on editing client properties, and check transactions in AI Transactions.
What is Interact?
Interact pushes agentic AI: Spring Launch ships Action Agent and Workday workflows
Interact's feed centers on a real product cycle — a Spring Launch introducing Action Agent and agentic AI capabilities (content moderation, AI Search upgrades, Workday workflows) — alongside a brand-evolution milestone and AI-governance thought-leadership. It reads as an intranet vendor making a concrete agentic-AI move, not just positioning.

Double is turning its accounting assistant into the way the work gets done
◆ Current state
Double ships weekly, and nearly every release extends Ask Double rather than the surrounding application. In the last two months it has learned to build workpapers by reconciling accounts against supporting documents, import accruals, create and manage client metrics through the MCP and API, take voice input, and — in private beta — reach into Slack, Notion, and HubSpot. The non-assistant work fills in what firms need to trust that: role-based restrictions on editing client properties, and check transactions in AI Transactions.
◆ Where it's heading
The assistant is moving from answering questions to performing the billable work — tie-out, accrual setup, metric standardization across a whole book of clients. Each release pairs that with an access or permissions control, which is the pattern of a vendor that knows the objection is liability rather than capability. The accounting engine itself keeps advancing underneath, most recently with prepaid contracts paid in installments.
◆ Prediction
Given the review-and-signoff question these features raise, the likely next step is an approval or audit trail around what Ask Double produces rather than another task it can perform.

Interact pushes agentic AI: Spring Launch ships Action Agent and Workday workflows
◆ Current state
Interact's feed centers on a real product cycle — a Spring Launch introducing Action Agent and agentic AI capabilities (content moderation, AI Search upgrades, Workday workflows) — alongside a brand-evolution milestone and AI-governance thought-leadership. It reads as an intranet vendor making a concrete agentic-AI move, not just positioning.
◆ Where it's heading
Interact is building toward an agentic AI platform for the digital workplace, layering action-taking agents and cross-system search onto its intranet and pairing it with a refreshed brand. Expect continued agent and integration releases framed around enterprise AI governance.
◆ Prediction
Likely next moves expand Action Agent's reach into more enterprise systems beyond Workday and tighten the governance story the AI-gap essay sets up.
