What is Basecamp?

Steady small-surface polish across Basecamp and HEY, with no directional move.

Output is a stream of contained feature additions split across the two products. HEY gets a Power Through New flow for the unread pile, quick access to Previously Seen emails, a full-year calendar view, calendar search, location lookup, event creation from an email, and infrastructure work improving speeds outside the primary region. Basecamp gets Hilltop View and client-access settings on templates.

What is Document360?

Document360 ships collaborative editing and a rebuilt API as it expands MCP control.

Document360 is shipping bi-weekly releases that systematically add enterprise documentation capabilities. The platform now has real-time collaborative editing, API v3 with OAuth 2.0 and scoped keys, and a growing MCP integration covering the full content lifecycle from draft to publish. Eddy AI is increasingly embedded throughout — from inline answers in the API reference to usage analytics that surface unanswered user queries. Article archiving and expanded operational controls round out the latest release.

Steady small-surface polish across Basecamp and HEY, with no directional move.

◆ Current state

Output is a stream of contained feature additions split across the two products. HEY gets a Power Through New flow for the unread pile, quick access to Previously Seen emails, a full-year calendar view, calendar search, location lookup, event creation from an email, and infrastructure work improving speeds outside the primary region. Basecamp gets Hilltop View and client-access settings on templates.

◆ Where it's heading

This is maintenance-cadence product work: each release removes one specific friction rather than opening a new capability. Nothing in the current entries points at a platform, AI or integration direction — the investment is in making the existing surfaces less annoying.

◆ Prediction

The entries support no confident call on direction; on this evidence the next releases are more of the same contained per-product improvements.

D6.3

Document360 ships collaborative editing and a rebuilt API as it expands MCP control.

◆ Current state

Document360 is shipping bi-weekly releases that systematically add enterprise documentation capabilities. The platform now has real-time collaborative editing, API v3 with OAuth 2.0 and scoped keys, and a growing MCP integration covering the full content lifecycle from draft to publish. Eddy AI is increasingly embedded throughout — from inline answers in the API reference to usage analytics that surface unanswered user queries. Article archiving and expanded operational controls round out the latest release.

◆ Where it's heading

The releases form a coherent arc toward a developer-first, AI-augmented documentation platform. MCP capabilities are expanding release-by-release from read access toward full workflow automation, positioning Document360 as infrastructure for AI agents managing knowledge bases. The collaborative editing addition signals ambition beyond solo documentation tooling into team-native workflows, putting it in direct competition with Notion and Confluence. Eddy AI is being instrumented at every authoring touchpoint rather than confined to a single chat widget.

◆ Prediction

The next likely moves are deeper Eddy AI integration within the collaborative workflow — real-time suggestions mid-edit — and further MCP expansion to cover multi-language publishing and team workflow automation.
