What is DoneDone?
DoneDone keeps polishing its Kanban boards and shared-inbox workflows.
DoneDone is a task-tracking and shared-inbox tool, and its recent releases concentrate on board and mailbox usability: collapsible Kanban columns, new sort options, a Mailbox Kanban view, active-assignee filtering, and quieter activity feeds with actions hidden by default. Each is a focused, incremental UX improvement.
What is Thread?
Thread expands from MSP messaging into a full voice channel with AI transcription into tickets.
Thread, an MSP support tool, is building out Voice AI. The headline move is outbound calling live from the Inbox with recording, transcription, and automatic ticket logging, surrounded by in-call controls, full-transcript-to-PSA handoff, and a Magic Analytics dashboard suite.

DoneDone
2.5SUPPORT
DoneDone keeps polishing its Kanban boards and shared-inbox workflows.
◆ Current state
DoneDone is a task-tracking and shared-inbox tool, and its recent releases concentrate on board and mailbox usability: collapsible Kanban columns, new sort options, a Mailbox Kanban view, active-assignee filtering, and quieter activity feeds with actions hidden by default. Each is a focused, incremental UX improvement.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is workflow refinement rather than expansion — reducing noise, giving users more control over how boards and inboxes are organized, and bringing Kanban patterns to the shared mailbox. It's the steady polish of an established tool tightening its day-to-day experience.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued board and mailbox UX refinement — more view, sort, and filtering controls — rather than a new capability area.
Thread
6.3SUPPORT
Thread expands from MSP messaging into a full voice channel with AI transcription into tickets.
◆ Current state
Thread, an MSP support tool, is building out Voice AI. The headline move is outbound calling live from the Inbox with recording, transcription, and automatic ticket logging, surrounded by in-call controls, full-transcript-to-PSA handoff, and a Magic Analytics dashboard suite.
◆ Where it's heading
Thread is closing the loop between conversation and ticket across channels — chat, and now voice — with the transcript as the durable record pushed into partners' PSAs. Analytics and closure automation suggest a push toward measurable, always-correct support operations.
◆ Prediction
Expect Voice AI to deepen — more call controls, richer transcription and routing, and tighter PSA sync — plus continued analytics, grounded in the outbound-calling and PSA-handoff features shipped this window.
