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.

What is Movebot?

Movebot fills out Google Workspace migration breadth and admin controls, then quiets.

Movebot is methodically deepening its Google Workspace migration support — Resource Calendars (rooms, shared spaces) are now first-class, calendar permission/attendee mapping has its own configuration surface with CSV import, and Google SSO is available with an enforce-login option for admins. Mailbox Discovery Scans were dialed back at the org level due to source-side rate limits.

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.

Movebot

0.0

Movebot fills out Google Workspace migration breadth and admin controls, then quiets.

◆ Current state

Movebot is methodically deepening its Google Workspace migration support — Resource Calendars (rooms, shared spaces) are now first-class, calendar permission/attendee mapping has its own configuration surface with CSV import, and Google SSO is available with an enforce-login option for admins. Mailbox Discovery Scans were dialed back at the org level due to source-side rate limits.

◆ Where it's heading

The arc is unglamorous but consistent: cover more of the migration matrix (more object types, more edge cases like recurring events) while giving admins of large migrations real configuration control. Public cadence has slowed since mid-2025, suggesting either a quieter maintenance phase or larger work happening below the public surface.

◆ Prediction

Most likely next steps are continuing to convert workarounds into first-class migration paths — Microsoft 365 resource equivalents, Teams data, or richer permission inheritance — alongside more bulk-config features like the CSV-driven mapping. A directional pivot is not visible in this data.
