What is Double?
Double is folding an AI copilot into the core of the bookkeeping loop.
Double is an AI-assisted bookkeeping product built around a conversational assistant, Ask Double. Recent releases push that assistant deeper into the accounting workflow: it can now create transactions from documents or plain-English descriptions, edit posted transactions in place, and work with live spreadsheets in chat. Client-facing work is progressing too, with in-context Q&A on published financials.
What is Skedda?
Skedda keeps expanding from desk booking into a full workplace-operations suite
Skedda is broadening beyond space reservations into workplace operations, with a steady cadence of feature releases. Recent work sharpens scheduling logic — day- and time-scoped approval rules and priority booking windows, plus hour-level advance-notice precision — while extending physical-workplace touchpoints through interactive tablet room terminals, booking add-ons, visitor management, and issue reporting. The moves are incremental but consistently additive.

Double
5.0COLLAB
Double is folding an AI copilot into the core of the bookkeeping loop.
◆ Current state
Double is an AI-assisted bookkeeping product built around a conversational assistant, Ask Double. Recent releases push that assistant deeper into the accounting workflow: it can now create transactions from documents or plain-English descriptions, edit posted transactions in place, and work with live spreadsheets in chat. Client-facing work is progressing too, with in-context Q&A on published financials.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is unmistakable — Ask Double is moving from a helper that answers questions to one that performs the bookkeeping itself: reading source files, posting and editing entries, and handling multi-transaction documents. In parallel, Double is turning the client portal into a two-way surface. The product is betting that conversational, document-driven data entry becomes the default way books get kept.
◆ Prediction
Expect the beta features (loan amortization, live spreadsheets) to reach general availability and the assistant to take on more of the reconciliation and categorization loop.
Skedda
5.0COLLAB
Skedda keeps expanding from desk booking into a full workplace-operations suite
◆ Current state
Skedda is broadening beyond space reservations into workplace operations, with a steady cadence of feature releases. Recent work sharpens scheduling logic — day- and time-scoped approval rules and priority booking windows, plus hour-level advance-notice precision — while extending physical-workplace touchpoints through interactive tablet room terminals, booking add-ons, visitor management, and issue reporting. The moves are incremental but consistently additive.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is depth in two areas: more granular control over who can book what and when, and more of the on-site workplace experience (check-in, room terminals, visitors, issues) handled inside Skedda. Booking windows in particular are becoming a flexible policy engine for team priority and utilization. Expect continued buildout of workplace-management surfaces rather than a shift in category.
◆ Prediction
Next likely additions extend these primitives — more conditions on booking windows and approvals, and pushing the customizable/self-service patterns from Planner-style controls into more areas like visitor and room workflows.
