Live Helper Chat
Live Helper Chat ships MCP support, making self-hosted customer chat an AI-queryable endpoint
A side-by-side editorial comparison of DoneDone and Zoho Lens — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
DoneDone ships custom fields — expanding from simple task tracker to configurable work platform.
DoneDone is a project management and helpdesk tool that has been steadily deepening its structural capabilities over the past several months. Recent releases show a deliberate build-up: kanban sorting and collapse controls, workflow automations tied to status changes, email-to-task intake, and now custom fields. The product ships incrementally but on a consistent cadence, with most features driven by direct customer requests.
Zoho Lens stacks AR integrations and absorbs Vuforia Chalk refugees
Zoho Lens is shipping consistent, substantive product expansion — an AR-powered self-service portal in March 2026, plus Zendesk and Zoho SalesIQ integrations, a geolocation feature, and browser-based access through 2025. Alongside the releases, the team is actively courting Vuforia Chalk users displaced by that product's discontinuation.
DoneDone is a project management and helpdesk tool that has been steadily deepening its structural capabilities over the past several months. Recent releases show a deliberate build-up: kanban sorting and collapse controls, workflow automations tied to status changes, email-to-task intake, and now custom fields. The product ships incrementally but on a consistent cadence, with most features driven by direct customer requests.
DoneDone is building toward a more configurable platform, moving away from opinionated simplicity toward flexible data models and process automation. Custom fields and workflow automations together form the foundation of a structured work management tool that teams can mold to their own processes. The direction is clear: make DoneDone adaptable enough to compete with more complex tools without requiring that complexity upfront.
Custom fields will likely expand with automation triggers (e.g., automate based on field value, not just status), and the email-to-task intake may gain routing rules or field-mapping capabilities to make incoming requests more organized from the start.
Zoho Lens is shipping consistent, substantive product expansion — an AR-powered self-service portal in March 2026, plus Zendesk and Zoho SalesIQ integrations, a geolocation feature, and browser-based access through 2025. Alongside the releases, the team is actively courting Vuforia Chalk users displaced by that product's discontinuation.
Lens is building out as an AR remote-assistance hub rather than a point tool: integrating into the Zoho support stack (SalesIQ) and outward into competitor stacks (Zendesk), and expanding onto new surfaces (browser, Apple Vision Pro). The Vuforia Chalk shutdown is a real demand catalyst the team is converting through both product and content.
Expect field-service tooling (work-order management, technician dispatch) layered on top of the new self-service portal, plus more ticketing-platform integrations. Spatial-computing features on Vision Pro are plausible follow-ons but the cadence there is harder to read.
