What is DoneThat?
DoneThat is an automated Activity Reconstruction and Productivity Analytics platform designed to capture and categorize professional workflows. The solution utilizes a cross-platform desktop agent to record screen activity and employ machine learning for the generation of structured work logs, Timesheets, and contextual data for Large Language Models (LLMs).
Key Capabilities
- Visual Activity Capture: A desktop application (Windows, macOS, Linux) that performs periodic screen capture to reconstruct user activity. The vendor states the client application is Open Source to facilitate security auditing.
- Automated Timesheet Generation: Converts captured visual data into categorized work blocks for billing and project management, intended to eliminate manual time entry.
- AI Context & Memory: Integrates with external LLMs via API, MCP (Model Context Protocol), and automation platforms like Zapier. This provides a historical "contextual memory" of work history for use in AI-assisted tasks.
- "Don" Productivity Coach: An interactive assistant that analyzes real-time activity to provide situational coaching, goal calibration, and interventions during periods of low focus.
