What is Contractbook?
Contractbook hands the AI's extraction prompts over to the customer
Contractbook publishes short, emoji-headed notes, most of them arriving in same-day batches. The August 3 batch covered admin permission maps across spaces, OTP two-factor at login, calculations inside forms, a rebuilt search results page, and a new model behind AI data extraction. This release opens the default data fields themselves: the prompts behind each AI-detected field can be rewritten or renamed per contract type.
What is Wiki.js?
Wiki.js 3.0 beta is building toward enterprise with real-time collaboration, SCIM, and expanding editor formats.
Wiki.js runs two parallel tracks: 2.x stable (security patches only) and a rapidly developing 3.0 beta that's still marked not for production use. The 3.0 beta has accelerated into enterprise and collaboration territory—SCIM provisioning, group mapping across Entra/LDAP/SAML/GitHub/Google/Discord, audit logging, and now real-time collaboration in the Excalidraw editor. Editor format support has expanded to include AsciiDoc, draw.io diagrams, custom content blocks, and blog pages alongside the existing editor set.

Contractbook hands the AI's extraction prompts over to the customer
◆ Current state
Contractbook publishes short, emoji-headed notes, most of them arriving in same-day batches. The August 3 batch covered admin permission maps across spaces, OTP two-factor at login, calculations inside forms, a rebuilt search results page, and a new model behind AI data extraction. This release opens the default data fields themselves: the prompts behind each AI-detected field can be rewritten or renamed per contract type.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI extraction layer has been treated as a black box that Contractbook tunes and customers accept. Editable prompts break that — accuracy on a customer's own contract vocabulary becomes something they adjust rather than file a ticket about. It fits the wider pattern of the last few releases, where admin surfaces (space access maps, group permissions, contract-type management) are being built so companies can configure what used to be product defaults.
◆ Prediction
Once prompts are editable per contract type, per-field extraction quality becomes visible and arguable, so expect some form of confidence indicator or review step on extracted data next.

Wiki.js 3.0 beta is building toward enterprise with real-time collaboration, SCIM, and expanding editor formats.
◆ Current state
Wiki.js runs two parallel tracks: 2.x stable (security patches only) and a rapidly developing 3.0 beta that's still marked not for production use. The 3.0 beta has accelerated into enterprise and collaboration territory—SCIM provisioning, group mapping across Entra/LDAP/SAML/GitHub/Google/Discord, audit logging, and now real-time collaboration in the Excalidraw editor. Editor format support has expanded to include AsciiDoc, draw.io diagrams, custom content blocks, and blog pages alongside the existing editor set.
◆ Where it's heading
Wiki.js 3.0 is converging on a feature set that would justify a production-ready release: the enterprise identity triad (SCIM + group mapping + audit log) is essentially complete, real-time collaborative diagramming is in beta, and the content model is extensible. The blog pages feature signals an ambition beyond internal documentation into external-facing knowledge management. The pace of beta releases (several per week at times) suggests 3.0 stable is closer than the 'not for production' label implies.
◆ Prediction
Wiki.js 3.0's first stable release is likely targeting Q4 2026, with the enterprise identity stack (SCIM, group mapping, audit log) as the lead selling point for organizations evaluating a 2.x upgrade. Real-time collaboration in Excalidraw may be the marquee differentiator in that launch.
