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 Slack?
Slack now hosts any A2A agent without Slack-specific code.
Slack's developer channel is almost all agent plumbing. On 10 November Slack became an A2A (Agent2Agent) client: a team hosts its own agent, publishes an Agent Card, and Slack calls it when people talk to it, with no request URL, event handling or Slack-specific logic. This follows Slackbot skills managed through Web API methods, a Slack CLI that points coding agents to the Slack MCP server, and a new requirement that Work Objects embeds allow the slack-mcps.com frame ancestor.

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.
Slack
6.3COMMSCOLLAB
Slack now hosts any A2A agent without Slack-specific code.
◆ Current state
Slack's developer channel is almost all agent plumbing. On 10 November Slack became an A2A (Agent2Agent) client: a team hosts its own agent, publishes an Agent Card, and Slack calls it when people talk to it, with no request URL, event handling or Slack-specific logic. This follows Slackbot skills managed through Web API methods, a Slack CLI that points coding agents to the Slack MCP server, and a new requirement that Work Objects embeds allow the slack-mcps.com frame ancestor.
◆ Where it's heading
Slack is lowering the cost of putting outside agents in front of its users: first skills as code, then MCP pointers for coding agents, now a standard protocol in place of the Slack app model for agents. The platform is positioning itself as the place where agents built anywhere meet the people who use them.
◆ Prediction
Expect more A2A follow-ups, such as agents appearing in Slackbot or skills surfaces and richer Agent Card features, given how fast the agent releases have stacked up since October.
