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 Skedda?
Desk booking growing an org-level control layer for multi-site workplace teams.
Skedda's recent releases split cleanly in two: rule granularity in the booking engine (day-specific approvals, hour-precision booking windows, per-day priority access) and physical-space operations (tablet room terminals, bookable add-ons, issue reporting, visitor CSV import and richer visit exports). The Organization Hub, added in late July, aggregates utilization, bookings, and check-in rates across every venue in one view. Visitor management and reporting are both getting export-grade detail rather than headline features.

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.
Skedda
6.3COLLAB
Desk booking growing an org-level control layer for multi-site workplace teams.
◆ Current state
Skedda's recent releases split cleanly in two: rule granularity in the booking engine (day-specific approvals, hour-precision booking windows, per-day priority access) and physical-space operations (tablet room terminals, bookable add-ons, issue reporting, visitor CSV import and richer visit exports). The Organization Hub, added in late July, aggregates utilization, bookings, and check-in rates across every venue in one view. Visitor management and reporting are both getting export-grade detail rather than headline features.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving up from a single-venue booking tool toward the operations layer for a portfolio of offices — cross-venue analytics, per-team priority rules, and terminals that work without an account all point at customers managing many sites and mostly non-logged-in occupants. Each new data-producing feature (visits, add-ons, issues, check-ins) has been followed by the reporting surface to read it back, which is how the Organization Hub got something worth aggregating.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Organization Hub to widen past utilization into the visitor, add-on, and issue data Skedda now collects, and for its setup to move from an account-manager request into self-serve configuration.
