What is Document360?
Document360 ships collaborative editing and API v3 with OAuth 2.0 in back-to-back releases.
Document360 has shipped two major capability expansions in consecutive August releases: v12.8.2 introduced API v3 with OAuth 2.0 authentication and scoped API keys (the product's largest API overhaul to date), and v12.8.4 added real-time collaborative editing allowing multiple contributors to work on the same article simultaneously. The surrounding releases improved the AI assistant analytics layer (Eddy AI unanswered query tracking) and redesigned the navigation and publishing UX.
What is Softr?
Softr ships MCP and embedded agents, making no-code apps AI-orchestratable
Softr has added two substantial capability layers in rapid succession: autonomous agents embedded directly into user apps (August 26), and full MCP integration that makes every platform surface controllable via Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible client (September 6–8). Both ship on all plans with no additional AI credits required. The platform still centers on visual no-code building, but these moves position it as infrastructure for AI-driven workflows rather than a pure visual builder.

Document360
7.5COLLAB
Document360 ships collaborative editing and API v3 with OAuth 2.0 in back-to-back releases.
◆ Current state
Document360 has shipped two major capability expansions in consecutive August releases: v12.8.2 introduced API v3 with OAuth 2.0 authentication and scoped API keys (the product's largest API overhaul to date), and v12.8.4 added real-time collaborative editing allowing multiple contributors to work on the same article simultaneously. The surrounding releases improved the AI assistant analytics layer (Eddy AI unanswered query tracking) and redesigned the navigation and publishing UX.
◆ Where it's heading
Document360 is clearly targeting enterprise knowledge base teams: OAuth 2.0 on the API enables secure SSO-gated integrations, collaborative editing removes a key friction point for team-based documentation, and unanswered query analytics gives content managers data to prioritize gaps. The product is closing the gap to Confluence and Notion on collaboration and integration depth.
◆ Prediction
Expect role-based collaborative editing permissions (view-only, comment, edit) and API v3 expansion to cover content lifecycle endpoints — the OAuth infrastructure is the foundation for third-party workflow integrations.
Softr

Softr ships MCP and embedded agents, making no-code apps AI-orchestratable
◆ Current state
Softr has added two substantial capability layers in rapid succession: autonomous agents embedded directly into user apps (August 26), and full MCP integration that makes every platform surface controllable via Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible client (September 6–8). Both ship on all plans with no additional AI credits required. The platform still centers on visual no-code building, but these moves position it as infrastructure for AI-driven workflows rather than a pure visual builder.
◆ Where it's heading
Softr is converging on a model where apps built on its platform are simultaneously human-navigable and machine-orchestratable. The MCP rollout — announced as a multi-day series of drops — indicates they are treating AI interoperability as a primary product surface, not a feature add-on. The logical extension is multi-step agentic chains that span data sources and scheduled workflows, which their August agent launch already scaffolds.
◆ Prediction
Softr will likely expand scheduled agents into more complex multi-step automation chains, and extend MCP coverage to user-management and permission APIs. The remaining MCP drops telegraphed for the week of September 6 will reveal how far they are willing to expose internal platform primitives to external AI orchestration.
