What is Canny?
Canny keeps moving feedback capture out of Canny — now it answers to a mention in Slack
Canny's releases converge on one thing: getting feedback into the system without anyone opening the product. Autopilot now ingests external calls through Fireflies, Fathom and Grain, links them to Salesforce and HubSpot opportunities, and dedupes into existing ideas. The August 13 release replaces the Slack slash commands with an @Canny mention that captures feedback from any thread in plain language, creates ideas, insights, users and companies, and edits fields. Alongside that, the platform work is administrative: view sharing with access levels, Linear project links, and the reporting rebuild that ties ideas to revenue.
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.

Canny keeps moving feedback capture out of Canny — now it answers to a mention in Slack
◆ Current state
Canny's releases converge on one thing: getting feedback into the system without anyone opening the product. Autopilot now ingests external calls through Fireflies, Fathom and Grain, links them to Salesforce and HubSpot opportunities, and dedupes into existing ideas. The August 13 release replaces the Slack slash commands with an @Canny mention that captures feedback from any thread in plain language, creates ideas, insights, users and companies, and edits fields. Alongside that, the platform work is administrative: view sharing with access levels, Linear project links, and the reporting rebuild that ties ideas to revenue.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is separating capture from the tool. Every recent release either adds a place feedback can arrive from or removes a step between hearing something and it being recorded, with Autopilot doing the deduping in the middle. The reporting rebuild is the other half of the same argument — capture everything, then price it in renewal and pipeline revenue rather than votes. What is left thin is anything that changes how teams decide once the data is in.
◆ Prediction
Expect more capture surfaces on the same pattern — additional meeting and support tools feeding Autopilot, and the Slack agent gaining the read and reporting actions it currently lacks.
DoneDone
5.0SUPPORT
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.
