DoneDone vs Social Intents
A side-by-side editorial comparison of DoneDone and Social Intents — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
DoneDone vs Social Intents: at a glance
What is DoneDone?
Small, customer-requested fixes all summer — then the first automation engine.
DoneDone ships in a tight loop with users: reorderable checklist items, tags in CSV exports, collapsible Kanban columns, more board sort fields, and activity feeds that hide status noise by default. Several entries name the customer request that prompted them. On August 7 the pattern broke with Workflow Automations, the first release in this window that adds behavior rather than tidying existing behavior.
What is Social Intents?
A blog feed, not a changelog — and its one piece of real news is Microsoft's, not theirs.
None of the last ten entries is a product release; the feed is the company blog, built from comparison guides, benchmark posts, and copy-paste template roundups aimed at search traffic. The single entry carrying dated news is about someone else's product: Microsoft retires its built-in Teams Live Chat widget on October 5, 2026, after about 18 months, and Social Intents is positioning itself as the way to keep answering website chats inside Teams. Everything else is category education on chatbots, response-time benchmarks, and helpdesk automation.
DoneDone vs Social Intents: editorial side-by-side
DoneDone
5.0SUPPORT
Small, customer-requested fixes all summer — then the first automation engine.
◆ Current state
DoneDone ships in a tight loop with users: reorderable checklist items, tags in CSV exports, collapsible Kanban columns, more board sort fields, and activity feeds that hide status noise by default. Several entries name the customer request that prompted them. On August 7 the pattern broke with Workflow Automations, the first release in this window that adds behavior rather than tidying existing behavior.
◆ Where it's heading
The through-line is reducing friction in a board people already live in, and Workflow Automations extends that logic one step: instead of a cleaner view of manual work, the status change itself now sets due dates and attaches checklist templates. Checklist Templates got management improvements in July and are the object of the new automation in August, which suggests templates are being built up as the standardization primitive the product organizes around.
◆ Prediction
The automation surface starts narrow — two actions on one trigger — so the obvious next steps are more triggers than status change and more actions such as assignment or notification. The customer-request cadence in these entries suggests those will arrive in the same incremental way.
Social Intents
5.0SUPPORT
A blog feed, not a changelog — and its one piece of real news is Microsoft's, not theirs.
◆ Current state
None of the last ten entries is a product release; the feed is the company blog, built from comparison guides, benchmark posts, and copy-paste template roundups aimed at search traffic. The single entry carrying dated news is about someone else's product: Microsoft retires its built-in Teams Live Chat widget on October 5, 2026, after about 18 months, and Social Intents is positioning itself as the way to keep answering website chats inside Teams. Everything else is category education on chatbots, response-time benchmarks, and helpdesk automation.
◆ Where it's heading
The content clusters tightly around one pitch — live chat that lives inside the workspace the team already uses, with posts on Teams, Google Chat, Zoom, and WhatsApp reinforcing it from different search terms. The AI material (hallucination in customer service, IT helpdesk implementation) reads as demand capture for buyers shopping for chatbots rather than evidence of AI features shipping here. Since this source carries no releases, the product's actual direction is not observable from it.
◆ Prediction
The Teams Live Chat retirement gives a dated migration window, so more Teams-migration content ahead of October 5, 2026 is the safe expectation. What the product ships in that window cannot be read from this feed and would need a changelog source.
