Question 1

What is DoneThat?

Accepted Answer

DoneThat is an automated work tracker and coaching product. It reconstructs your work from activity on your device, turns that into summaries and structured history, and uses that history for review, reporting, and coaching.

Question 2

How does the free trial work?

Accepted Answer

You can use DoneThat free for 30 days without a credit card. The trial includes the full product, and we send a reminder before it ends.

Question 3

How does DoneThat protect my privacy?

Accepted Answer

DoneThat is designed to minimize sensitive data exposure. Raw screenshots and activity inputs are processed in real time instead of being stored, and you control capture windows, exclusions, redactions, and who can see finalized summaries.

Question 4

How do I integrate DoneThat with Slack?

Accepted Answer

You can connect DoneThat to Slack from your workspace settings. DoneThat then posts finalized summaries to the Slack channels you choose, so updates happen asynchronously without sharing raw screen data.

Question 5

Can I control when DoneThat captures my work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can define working hours, pause capture manually, exclude apps, and review or edit summaries before they are shared.

Question 6

How secure is my data with DoneThat?

Accepted Answer

DoneThat stores structured activity data, not raw screenshots, and encrypts data in transit and at rest. Sharing is permission based, and the AI providers in the default pipeline are selected for no retention processing.

Question 7

Can I use DoneThat for personal productivity, not just teams?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can use DoneThat as an individual to review your own summaries, track goals, and get coaching without joining a team. Sharing with friends, followers, or a coach is optional.

Question 8

How does DoneThat help with accountability?

Accepted Answer

DoneThat creates lightweight accountability by turning your day into a reviewable summary. You can keep that loop private for self review or share finalized summaries with followers, teammates, or a coach.

Question 9

How does DoneThat keep me accountable if I work alone?

Accepted Answer

If you work alone, DoneThat still gives you a feedback loop through automatic summaries, goals, and Don’s coaching. If you want outside accountability, you can also share those summaries with a coach, follower, or buddy.

Question 10

How can I facilitate more connections at work?

Accepted Answer

DoneThat gives coworkers something concrete to react to: finalized summaries, comments, follows, and optional Slack or email sharing. That makes it easier to stay in the loop without adding more meetings.

Question 11

How can I build trust in a remote team?

Accepted Answer

DoneThat helps remote teams build trust through curated summaries rather than surveillance. Managers and teammates get proof of progress at summary level, while individuals keep control over visibility and what stays private.

Question 12

How can I prevent burnout at work?

Accepted Answer

DoneThat can help you spot overload earlier by showing work patterns over time, including focus distribution and optional mood tracking. That gives you something concrete to review before overwork turns into a norm.

Question 13

How can I stay accountable to my team?

Accepted Answer

DoneThat makes team accountability easier by turning work into regular written summaries your team can see. The point is to replace memory based status updates with lightweight proof of work, not to monitor people live.

Question 14

How can I stay focused with ADHD?

Accepted Answer

DoneThat can support focus by making the day visible after the fact: summaries, goals, and pattern detection show where attention drifted and what changed. It is a support tool, not a medical treatment.

Question 15

How can I work remotely?

Accepted Answer

DoneThat does not make remote work succeed on its own. What it does is make remote progress easier to demonstrate through async summaries, clearer visibility, and privacy respecting proof of work.

Question 16

Can I use DoneThat simultaneously on two machines?

Accepted Answer

Yes, one account can sync across two machines. The current limitation is overlapping use: it works best if you are not actively working on both machines at the same time.

Question 17

How is DoneThat different from a timer-based tracker?

Accepted Answer

Timer based trackers depend on you remembering to start, stop, and label work. DoneThat reconstructs work automatically from what you actually did, then turns it into summaries and structured history you can review.

Question 18

What does Don actually coach me on?

Accepted Answer

Don focuses on work patterns that show up in your history: where attention drifts, where overhead accumulates, where burnout risk appears, and which habits are worth changing next.

Question 19

How should I think about MCP with DoneThat?

Accepted Answer

Think of MCP as the layer that gives your AI access to your work history. Instead of restarting each chat from zero, your assistant can search captured summaries and patterns and reason from that context.

Question 20

Can I talk to Christoph directly about consulting or a rollout?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The founder page is the right place to start if you want consulting, a rollout discussion, or a product demo with Christoph directly.

Question 21

What if we want to use DoneThat but need privacy or DPO clearance first?

Accepted Answer

That is a normal rollout path. DoneThat is designed to support those reviews with explicit documentation on what gets captured, what gets shared, and how to start with limited visibility or employee only modes first.

Question 22

What kind of consulting does Christoph do?

Accepted Answer

Christoph works on AI adoption, productivity systems, workflow design, and operating changes around real team work. The consulting is practical and grounded in how people actually work, not generic AI strategy slides.

Question 23

Can I book a consulting conversation even if I am not ready for a team rollout?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The consulting page is meant to work both as an advisory entry point and as a place to start a lower commitment product or rollout conversation.

Question 24

Why does Christoph mention Giving What We Can and the EA Forum here?

Accepted Answer

Because the founder page is meant to show how Christoph thinks, not just what he sells. Those references give context on his views on impact, AI, and why DoneThat is built around practical outcomes instead of hype.
