What is Document360?
Document360's Eddy AI now summarizes what changed between article versions.
Document360 ships a knowledge-base release roughly every week, with its Eddy AI assistant in most of them. 12.10.2 adds AI summaries of differences between article versions, customizable reader feedback options, per-widget link behaviour settings and a central Engage dashboard to reuse and localize guides and videos. The prior release added source citations to Eddy AI answers and consolidated SSO setup.
What is Hive?
Hive lets agents act on proof feedback and puts its tasks inside Claude and ChatGPT.
Hive is a project management suite with an increasingly strong creative-proofing layer and Buzz, an AI assistant that now spans dashboards, proofing and forms. In two days it shipped PDF text editing in which agents apply review feedback as a new version, review-progress counts in Proofing, Buzz reports on time data, batch-scheduled dashboard reports and a rebuilt mobile action card.

Document360's Eddy AI now summarizes what changed between article versions.
◆ Current state
Document360 ships a knowledge-base release roughly every week, with its Eddy AI assistant in most of them. 12.10.2 adds AI summaries of differences between article versions, customizable reader feedback options, per-widget link behaviour settings and a central Engage dashboard to reuse and localize guides and videos. The prior release added source citations to Eddy AI answers and consolidated SSO setup.
◆ Where it's heading
Eddy AI is spreading from the reader-facing chatbot into the authoring and review workflow, with analytics, citations and now change summaries. Engage is being built out as a separate asset layer of guides and videos with its own localization and credit-based AI voiceovers.
◆ Prediction
Expect more AI help in the review and publishing flow, such as approvals or suggested fixes driven by version summaries.
Hive
6.3COLLABPM
Hive lets agents act on proof feedback and puts its tasks inside Claude and ChatGPT.
◆ Current state
Hive is a project management suite with an increasingly strong creative-proofing layer and Buzz, an AI assistant that now spans dashboards, proofing and forms. In two days it shipped PDF text editing in which agents apply review feedback as a new version, review-progress counts in Proofing, Buzz reports on time data, batch-scheduled dashboard reports and a rebuilt mobile action card.
◆ Where it's heading
Hive is building a review loop that agents can close: comments and Buzz AI suggestions now have an action path, not just a display. At the same time it is moving its work surface outward through MCP, so tasks show up in third-party assistants. Reporting and mobile UX are getting steady attention alongside both.
◆ Prediction
Expect agents to take on more write actions through the MCP connector, likely creating and updating tasks, as the proofing loop matures.
