Slite vs Double: at a glance
What is Slite?
Slite is making its docs readable by agents before it finishes making them prettier.
Slite is a team knowledge base whose recent releases split between editor surface work and agent access. The MCP integration now exposes comment threads for reading and resolving, while the editor gained multi-column layouts and a reworked boxed shell that demotes Search and Ask to ordinary sidebar rows. The feed also carries recurring privacy-banner fragments that are crawler artifacts, not releases.
What is Double?
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.

◆ Current state
Slite is a team knowledge base whose recent releases split between editor surface work and agent access. The MCP integration now exposes comment threads for reading and resolving, while the editor gained multi-column layouts and a reworked boxed shell that demotes Search and Ask to ordinary sidebar rows. The feed also carries recurring privacy-banner fragments that are crawler artifacts, not releases.
◆ Where it's heading
The MCP work is the load-bearing direction. Exposing comment threads — not just document text — means an external agent can participate in the review loop rather than only read the output, which is a different product than a searchable wiki. The layout changes read as groundwork; the release notes themselves say the sidebar rework 'sets the stage' for something larger.
◆ Prediction
The natural next step is writing through MCP — posting comments or edits, not just resolving threads. The boxed-layout note explicitly signals a bigger change behind it, but the entries don't say what it is.

Double turns a recorded Chrome session into an agent that repeats the task.
◆ Current state
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.
◆ Where it's heading
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.
◆ Prediction
Expect more agent templates and recorder support for other client systems, plus wider Xero coverage after the US bank feeds launch.
