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 Teable?

Teable's Structured Query v2 now reports across multi-hop relations, with a strict mode against SQL.

Teable ships near-daily. The October 27 release extends Structured Query v2 to same-project relational reporting across one-to-many, many-to-many and up to three-hop relations, with aggregates, grouping and permissions checked at every hop; new SQL-based query definitions now get warnings, with an optional strict mode that rejects them. The same release adds atomic record upsert on a unique field, a Table Operations console for admins, an Artifact Manager, and paginated base listing over MCP and CLI.

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.

Teable's Structured Query v2 now reports across multi-hop relations, with a strict mode against SQL.

◆ Current state

Teable ships near-daily. The October 27 release extends Structured Query v2 to same-project relational reporting across one-to-many, many-to-many and up to three-hop relations, with aggregates, grouping and permissions checked at every hop; new SQL-based query definitions now get warnings, with an optional strict mode that rejects them. The same release adds atomic record upsert on a unique field, a Table Operations console for admins, an Artifact Manager, and paginated base listing over MCP and CLI.

◆ Where it's heading

Since the chat-first preview on October 21, each release has moved more of the product onto structured queries that agents can use safely, and away from raw SQL. Admin and integration tooling (upsert, complexity assessment, MCP pagination) is now arriving to support larger workspaces built this way.

◆ Prediction

Expect strict mode to tighten toward a default and the remaining query gaps, such as cross-project relations and sorting by to-many fields, to close next.
