What is Document360?

Document360 is rebuilding its knowledge base to be read by agents as much as by people.

Document360 ships monthly, and the last five releases trace one line: making documentation machine-consumable. The MCP server went from read and write access to full lifecycle control including publishing and workflow, llms.txt generation became automatic, and readers can now copy articles as Markdown or open them straight in ChatGPT or Claude. The August release turns the API reference itself into an interactive console — a rebuilt Try It!, live schema validation, in-console authorization, Eddy AI answering inline — alongside a new Widget 2.0 embedding architecture beginning rollout.

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.

Document360 vs Basecamp: editorial side-by-side

D6.3

Document360 is rebuilding its knowledge base to be read by agents as much as by people.

◆ Current state

Document360 ships monthly, and the last five releases trace one line: making documentation machine-consumable. The MCP server went from read and write access to full lifecycle control including publishing and workflow, llms.txt generation became automatic, and readers can now copy articles as Markdown or open them straight in ChatGPT or Claude. The August release turns the API reference itself into an interactive console — a rebuilt Try It!, live schema validation, in-console authorization, Eddy AI answering inline — alongside a new Widget 2.0 embedding architecture beginning rollout.

◆ Where it's heading

Two audiences are being served out of one content store. The human-facing work — Mermaid diagrams, PDF export controls, multilingual guides, SCIM and JWT provisioning — continues as steady enterprise hygiene, while the agent-facing surface expands faster and with more architectural intent. The API-reference rebuild is the first time that convergence shows up in what a reader sees rather than in an integration.

◆ Prediction

Expect Widget 2.0 to finish its rollout and the Eddy AI inline-answer pattern to spread from the API reference into the wider knowledge base site. Further MCP expansion looks likely given the lifecycle tools already shipped, though these entries don't indicate what is left uncovered.

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.
