What is Deskpro?

Deskpro's last four releases tell one story: making AI safe enough for regulated buyers.

Deskpro ships large, infrequent releases that pair a headline AI change with a long tail of fixes. 2026.4 sits at the polish end of that cycle — reply routing back to the address a person actually wrote from, Help Centre articles saving again, the Macros admin page loading on MariaDB — with one structural change: AI features now resolve datasource access from the trusted service making the request rather than from the request itself.

What is DoneDone?

DoneDone ships custom fields — expanding from simple task tracker to configurable work platform.

DoneDone is a project management and helpdesk tool that has been steadily deepening its structural capabilities over the past several months. Recent releases show a deliberate build-up: kanban sorting and collapse controls, workflow automations tied to status changes, email-to-task intake, and now custom fields. The product ships incrementally but on a consistent cadence, with most features driven by direct customer requests.

Deskpro vs DoneDone: editorial side-by-side

Deskpro
SUPPORT
5.0

Deskpro's last four releases tell one story: making AI safe enough for regulated buyers.

◆ Current state

Deskpro ships large, infrequent releases that pair a headline AI change with a long tail of fixes. 2026.4 sits at the polish end of that cycle — reply routing back to the address a person actually wrote from, Help Centre articles saving again, the Macros admin page loading on MariaDB — with one structural change: AI features now resolve datasource access from the trusted service making the request rather than from the request itself.

◆ Where it's heading

Since late 2025 the through-line has been control over where inference runs and what it can read: self-hosted Private AI, then Berget AI for European hosting, then Snippets as a grounded reply source, then selective re-indexing so large help desks could actually use it, now server-side datasource permissions. Model choice keeps broadening alongside it — Gemini 3 Pro arrived in 2026.3 — but governance, not model access, is what separates these releases from competitors'.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next release to continue on AI permissions and audit visibility plus additional model providers; the accessibility work spread across admin pages suggests the WCAG effort is mid-flight rather than finished.

6.3

DoneDone ships custom fields — expanding from simple task tracker to configurable work platform.

◆ Current state

DoneDone is a project management and helpdesk tool that has been steadily deepening its structural capabilities over the past several months. Recent releases show a deliberate build-up: kanban sorting and collapse controls, workflow automations tied to status changes, email-to-task intake, and now custom fields. The product ships incrementally but on a consistent cadence, with most features driven by direct customer requests.

◆ Where it's heading

DoneDone is building toward a more configurable platform, moving away from opinionated simplicity toward flexible data models and process automation. Custom fields and workflow automations together form the foundation of a structured work management tool that teams can mold to their own processes. The direction is clear: make DoneDone adaptable enough to compete with more complex tools without requiring that complexity upfront.

◆ Prediction

Custom fields will likely expand with automation triggers (e.g., automate based on field value, not just status), and the email-to-task intake may gain routing rules or field-mapping capabilities to make incoming requests more organized from the start.
