Double vs Jellyfin: at a glance
What is Double?
Double's Autoclose hands the month-end close to AI agents for $500 a month.
Double is an accounting-practice platform with the Ask Double assistant at its centre. Autoclose, shipped Oct 29, lets agents run on a schedule or trigger to pull statements, code bank feeds, post journal entries and reconcile accounts, then report every step. Agentic browsing logs in to bank and card sites with no integration, Credentials stores those logins, and both are on the Scale plan. Autoclose is a $500/month firmwide add-on, waived for a limited time for firms committing 10 or more Scale clients.
What is Jellyfin?
Seven candidates in, 12.0 is still trading features for correctness in the metadata layer.
RC7 continues the pattern the 12.0 train set: twelve changes, nearly all in the library and metadata layer, and none adding surface. The substantive ones tighten access control — search candidates are now filtered by user access in a single query, and permissions are enforced on similar-items lookups — alongside episode and season counting fixes for virtual items, anime provider IDs on season folders, and progress logging for data migrations. The release still restates the versioning change introduced at RC1, where the leading 10. was dropped so 10.11.x becomes 12.x, and still requires 10.10.7 or 10.11.x as an upgrade floor.

8.8COLLAB
Double's Autoclose hands the month-end close to AI agents for $500 a month.
◆ Current state
Double is an accounting-practice platform with the Ask Double assistant at its centre. Autoclose, shipped Oct 29, lets agents run on a schedule or trigger to pull statements, code bank feeds, post journal entries and reconcile accounts, then report every step. Agentic browsing logs in to bank and card sites with no integration, Credentials stores those logins, and both are on the Scale plan. Autoclose is a $500/month firmwide add-on, waived for a limited time for firms committing 10 or more Scale clients.
◆ Where it's heading
Double has moved from an assistant that answers and drafts to agents that post to the books, with humans reviewing at the start and end. The October arc shows the build-up: connectors, Teams send-as-user, then Autoclose. Activity logs and sign-off tools are the supporting layer, because firms must be able to audit what an agent did.
◆ Prediction
Expect Autoclose to extend beyond its first tasks, including the Uploads Inbox work already open to agents, and to reach Xero clients; the entries don't say whether Autoclose covers Xero today.

5.0COLLAB
Seven candidates in, 12.0 is still trading features for correctness in the metadata layer.
◆ Current state
RC7 continues the pattern the 12.0 train set: twelve changes, nearly all in the library and metadata layer, and none adding surface. The substantive ones tighten access control — search candidates are now filtered by user access in a single query, and permissions are enforced on similar-items lookups — alongside episode and season counting fixes for virtual items, anime provider IDs on season folders, and progress logging for data migrations. The release still restates the versioning change introduced at RC1, where the leading 10. was dropped so 10.11.x becomes 12.x, and still requires 10.10.7 or 10.11.x as an upgrade floor.
◆ Where it's heading
The stated goal of 12.0 has been to polish the backend rewrite that shipped in 10.11.0, and seven candidates in, that is still what the changes are. What has shifted subtly across RC5 to RC7 is the kind of correction: earlier rounds were query-cost work such as SQLite caching and batched lookups, while RC7 pairs performance with access enforcement, folding permission checks into the same queries rather than filtering afterwards. That combination usually appears when a rewrite is being audited rather than extended.
◆ Prediction
The change count per candidate is falling and the remaining work is concentrated in one contributor's metadata fixes, which points to 12.0 going final rather than to an RC8 carrying anything new. Nothing in this feed indicates when.
