Spiceworks
Spiceworks covers the Microsoft 365 outage from the help desk's side.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of DoneDone and Gorgias — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
DoneDone's editor gets tables, spreadsheet paste and text colors.
DoneDone's November 13 release adds tables to the text editor, with direct paste from Google Sheets or Excel, plus text sizes, colors, highlighting and strikethrough. It follows the November 2 rework of Scheduled Tasks and October's bulk checklist entry and single email connection for several Mailboxes. Late summer brought workflow automations and custom fields.
Gorgias compares AI productivity in support teams with the Magnificent 7.
Gorgias's feed is its blog. The newest post compares revenue per support agent at ecommerce brands, up 27% in two years, with revenue per employee at the Magnificent 7, up 40%. Before that came an October 5 batch of guides and a public benchmark of 12 AI agents across 200+ live stores. The last product entries are June's AI Agent Actions and May's MCP server.

After the bigger summer releases, DoneDone has moved into steady polish of daily actions: replies, checklists, schedules and now formatting. Each release removes friction for small help-desk teams rather than adding a new module.
More small usability updates on email and tasks are likely; the entries give no sign of another large module soon.

Gorgias is building a data-led case for AI in support rather than shipping visible releases through this feed. Product news has been absent since June.
The entries do not show the next release; more benchmark and productivity research is the visible pattern.
