What is Document360?
Document360 opens its knowledge base wider: per-user Zendesk sign-in, feedback APIs and MCP.
Document360 ships a knowledge-base release almost every week. 12.11.1 lets Zendesk agents sign in with their own accounts, exposes article and Eddy AI feedback through new API endpoints, and extends MCP. The October releases added Eddy AI summaries of version differences and source citations in AI answers.
What is Nextcloud Desktop?
Nextcloud Desktop 35 brings Assistant, unified search and Linux virtual files to the client
Release 35.0.0 landed on 12 October after four release candidates. Its pull-request list adds the Assistant on the client, revives unified search, integrates the OpenVFS virtual files plugin on Linux, supports unified sharing and adds governance label handling. The tray has also been reworked, with logout and account removal moving to the settings menu. The 34.0 line continues in parallel with backported fixes, most recently 34.0.5.

Document360
5.0COLLAB
Document360 opens its knowledge base wider: per-user Zendesk sign-in, feedback APIs and MCP.
◆ Current state
Document360 ships a knowledge-base release almost every week. 12.11.1 lets Zendesk agents sign in with their own accounts, exposes article and Eddy AI feedback through new API endpoints, and extends MCP. The October releases added Eddy AI summaries of version differences and source citations in AI answers.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is making its content and AI signals available to other tools: help desks, APIs and AI clients through MCP. Eddy AI keeps getting review and trust features rather than new generation features.
◆ Prediction
More MCP tools and integrations with support desks are the likely next releases, on the weekly cadence.
Nextcloud Desktop
5.0COLLAB
Nextcloud Desktop 35 brings Assistant, unified search and Linux virtual files to the client
◆ Current state
Release 35.0.0 landed on 12 October after four release candidates. Its pull-request list adds the Assistant on the client, revives unified search, integrates the OpenVFS virtual files plugin on Linux, supports unified sharing and adds governance label handling. The tray has also been reworked, with logout and account removal moving to the settings menu. The 34.0 line continues in parallel with backported fixes, most recently 34.0.5.
◆ Where it's heading
After months of File Provider repair on macOS, the client is widening again. Linux virtual files now have a path that can switch from classic sync dynamically, which closes a gap with the other desktop platforms, and lock-file handling keeps extending to design tools such as AutoCAD, InDesign and Affinity. Assistant and governance labels also bring more of the platform into the desktop client.
◆ Prediction
Expect 35.0.x patches to follow the same backport pattern as 34.0, with the new Linux OpenVFS path the most likely source of early fixes. The notes give no sign of what a next feature release will prioritize.
