Hive keeps compounding dashboard, portfolio, and Buzz-automation upgrades — steady, not splashy
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Collaboard and Double — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Collaboard plays the secure, European online-whiteboard alternative to Miro.
Roughly one post a month with a steady mix of online-whiteboard educational content (brainstorming, huddle boards, idea boards) and occasional product-feature posts. Security is treated as a first-class differentiator — the April security-features piece reads like a positioning anchor for the EU/Swiss data-hosting buyer.
Double is compounding weekly on Ask Double, its AI accounting agent
Double is an AI bookkeeping platform for accounting firms, and its recent releases are a near-weekly buildout of 'Ask Double', the natural-language agent that launched in late May. The agent now creates and edits transactions, builds workpapers by reconciling accounts, imports accruals, runs flux analysis, and edits spreadsheets live in chat. The product is deep in an agentic-automation phase, converting manual bookkeeping tie-out into approve-and-post workflows.

Cadence is low and feature drops are quiet but real (the September video-screenshot feature). The product is leaning on operational-frameworks content (Lean huddle boards, swimlane and activity diagrams) to capture teams already running structured processes who need a digital surface that meets European compliance norms.
Expect continued small feature posts every quarter or two and continued process-template content. The interesting watch is whether Collaboard makes any louder play for Miro-displacement traffic as Miro continues to consolidate features and raise prices.

Each release extends Ask Double from answering questions toward doing the work — transaction posting, workpaper prep, accrual and loan handling, reusable saved 'skills'. The direction is consistent and cumulative: move firms up the chain from data entry to review-and-approve. Much of it is gated to QBO users and higher 'Scale' tiers, signaling a premium-agent monetization path.
Expect continued weekly Ask Double extensions pushing more of the close checklist into the agent — likely deeper reconciliation, reporting, and moving beta features (like loan amortization) to general availability.
