Interact
Interact opens its intranet to outside AI assistants and uses Claude to attack its own platform.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Avoma and Double — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Avoma's meeting data is now reachable over MCP, buried in a monthly roundup between SEO posts.
The tracked feed is mostly Avoma's comparison-content engine — Pipedrive vs Salesforce, HubSpot vs Zoho, Gong vs Chorus, Outreach vs Salesloft — aimed at buyers shopping adjacent categories rather than at existing users. The product signal arrives once a month in an Insider roundup, and July's carries the substantive items: secure MCP access, source selection in Ask Avoma, AI email templates, and rebuilt Pipeline Walk and Pipeline Trend reports.
Double turns a recorded Chrome session into an agent that repeats the task.
Double is an accounting-practice platform built around the Ask Double assistant. Autoclose, an October 29 add-on at $500 a month, lets agents run the month-end close, and November 5 extended Ask Double to allocations, bank matching and 1099 prep. The November 12 release lets accountants record a task in the Double Chrome extension and turn it into an agent, adds bank feeds for US Xero clients, per-user caps on AI credits and new permission choices for agent actions.

Two things are happening at once. The product is opening up — MCP access means the meeting record stops being something you read inside Avoma and becomes something other agents can query, and letting users pick which sources Ask Avoma draws from is a trust control on the same surface. The content operation, meanwhile, is chasing CRM and revenue-tooling comparison traffic, which reaches buyers evaluating a category Avoma sits beside rather than in.
Expect Ask Avoma to keep gaining grounding and scoping controls now that source selection exists, and the MCP surface to widen if it is picked up. The monthly Insider post will stay the only place shipped work is visible, so per-feature detail will keep arriving bundled and late.
Double is an accounting-practice platform built around the Ask Double assistant. Autoclose, an October 29 add-on at $500 a month, lets agents run the month-end close, and November 5 extended Ask Double to allocations, bank matching and 1099 prep. The November 12 release lets accountants record a task in the Double Chrome extension and turn it into an agent, adds bank feeds for US Xero clients, per-user caps on AI credits and new permission choices for agent actions.
Double is moving from an assistant that answers to agents that do recurring work, and is now letting firms create those agents by showing rather than configuring. Usage caps, permission levels and a web-browsing switch that is off by default show it adding controls as agents get more reach.
Expect more agent templates and recorder support for other client systems, plus wider Xero coverage after the US bank feeds launch.
