What is DoneDone?

DoneDone just opened a door for other systems to file work without a human.

DoneDone has spent the year sanding down its task and conversation surfaces: Kanban sort options and collapsible columns, assignee filtering, checklist template reordering, tags in CSV exports. Most releases are small and explicitly credited to customer requests. Two recent moves break that pattern — Workflow Automations in early August, and now per-project email addresses that create tasks automatically.

What is OneDesk?

OneDesk absorbs asset tracking and approvals, turning an all-in-one help desk into an ITSM suite.

OneDesk consolidates ticketing, projects and customer portals into a single tool, shipping roughly monthly on an uneven cadence. The August release is the largest in the window: a basic Asset Management app, an Approvals workflow, real-time translation on live chat in beta, archiving that leaves items in their original project, projects created directly from tickets, webforms for projects, SLA policies down to five minutes, and a Power BI connector. Earlier releases added multiple customer-facing help centers, Odie AI ticket summaries and knowledge-base generation, a UI redesign, and inbound voice.

6.3

DoneDone just opened a door for other systems to file work without a human.

◆ Current state

DoneDone has spent the year sanding down its task and conversation surfaces: Kanban sort options and collapsible columns, assignee filtering, checklist template reordering, tags in CSV exports. Most releases are small and explicitly credited to customer requests. Two recent moves break that pattern — Workflow Automations in early August, and now per-project email addresses that create tasks automatically.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is moving from a place people manage work to a place work arrives and routes itself. Automations handle what happens when a task changes status; email intake handles how it gets created. Together they turn DoneDone into an endpoint other systems can drive, which matters more for its support and client-services users than any further board refinement.

◆ Prediction

The obvious next step is automation triggered by intake — routing rules on inbound email, or extending automations beyond status changes to assignment and escalation.

3.8

OneDesk absorbs asset tracking and approvals, turning an all-in-one help desk into an ITSM suite.

◆ Current state

OneDesk consolidates ticketing, projects and customer portals into a single tool, shipping roughly monthly on an uneven cadence. The August release is the largest in the window: a basic Asset Management app, an Approvals workflow, real-time translation on live chat in beta, archiving that leaves items in their original project, projects created directly from tickets, webforms for projects, SLA policies down to five minutes, and a Power BI connector. Earlier releases added multiple customer-facing help centers, Odie AI ticket summaries and knowledge-base generation, a UI redesign, and inbound voice.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern is absorption: each release pulls in a job customers were doing in a separate tool — a call center, a portal builder, and now an asset spreadsheet or a paid ITAM app. Assets plus approvals plus tight SLAs is recognisably the IT service management feature set, which is a different buyer from the small support team OneDesk has historically served. The AI work through Odie has paused while this structural expansion happens.

◆ Prediction

Asset Management shipped as explicitly basic, so the near-term work is depth there — discovery, relationships to tickets, lifecycle states — rather than another new app.
