What is Document360?
Document360 is betting its docs platform on Eddy AI and an increasingly agentic MCP server.
Document360 ships monthly, and the throughline is AI: the Eddy AI assistant and an MCP server that keeps gaining reach. The latest release lets the MCP server publish, unpublish, and manage workflows, so a connected assistant can run the full content lifecycle. Around that, releases stack governance, multilingual, security (JWT, CSP, SCIM), and analytics improvements.
What is Front?
Front is rebuilding the shared inbox around AI agents and omnichannel reach.
Front is a team inbox that has pivoted its roadmap toward AI: Copilot/Autopilot replies, knowledge-source ingestion, and admin controls over what the AI can cite. Alongside that it keeps widening its integration surface—Salesforce, Asana, Zoom Contact Center, and a steady stream of third-party AI tools—so more channels and systems route through one workspace.

Document360 is betting its docs platform on Eddy AI and an increasingly agentic MCP server.
◆ Current state
Document360 ships monthly, and the throughline is AI: the Eddy AI assistant and an MCP server that keeps gaining reach. The latest release lets the MCP server publish, unpublish, and manage workflows, so a connected assistant can run the full content lifecycle. Around that, releases stack governance, multilingual, security (JWT, CSP, SCIM), and analytics improvements.
◆ Where it's heading
Two reinforcing threads: Eddy AI across authoring, search, and analytics, and an MCP server that has gone from introduction in March to full publication control in June. The supporting cadence is enterprise hardening — SSO/SCIM, JWT configs, CSP, permission inheritance, multilingual workflows. Document360 is positioning a knowledge base that AI both writes into and operates, aimed at larger, governed documentation teams.
◆ Prediction
Expect the MCP surface to keep widening toward fuller authoring and analytics actions, with Eddy AI features and enterprise governance continuing as the steady backdrop.
Front
2.5SUPPORTCOLLAB
Front is rebuilding the shared inbox around AI agents and omnichannel reach.
◆ Current state
Front is a team inbox that has pivoted its roadmap toward AI: Copilot/Autopilot replies, knowledge-source ingestion, and admin controls over what the AI can cite. Alongside that it keeps widening its integration surface—Salesforce, Asana, Zoom Contact Center, and a steady stream of third-party AI tools—so more channels and systems route through one workspace.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is to make Front the front end for AI-assisted support across every channel, with admins given finer governance over what the AI knows and does. Recent work layers in file-based knowledge, fact invalidation, and ROI analytics for Autopilot—signs Front is moving from 'AI that drafts' toward 'AI teams can trust and measure.'
◆ Prediction
Expect the 'bring your own agent' survey and BYOA early access to harden into a shipped capability, letting customers plug external AI agents into Front's inbox and channels.
