What is Document360?

Document360 rebuilds its public API and turns docs into an agent-readable surface.

Document360 ships a dated release every two to four weeks and the last six months have been dominated by two threads: making the knowledge base machine-consumable, and hardening enterprise access control. The AI thread runs from the March MCP server through publishing and workflow tools in June and per-reader-group AI restrictions this month; the access thread runs SCIM provisioning, multiple JWT configurations, and reader permission inheritance. This release adds a ground-up API v3 with OAuth 2.0 and scoped keys.

What is SoundBase?

Soundbase layers AI Autopilot and continuous Health Check onto RF coordination — and adds an Enterprise Portal.

Soundbase is layering automation and AI on top of its core RF frequency-coordination engine for live audio. Health Check now runs continuously in the background flagging conflicts, exclusions, spacing and IMD issues. The new Soundbase Assistant introduced Autopilot (Beta) for smart setup, and the Enterprise Portal added advanced search across machine/user/email plus a redesigned user table — signs of bigger-customer maturity.

Document360 vs SoundBase: editorial side-by-side

D6.3

Document360 rebuilds its public API and turns docs into an agent-readable surface.

◆ Current state

Document360 ships a dated release every two to four weeks and the last six months have been dominated by two threads: making the knowledge base machine-consumable, and hardening enterprise access control. The AI thread runs from the March MCP server through publishing and workflow tools in June and per-reader-group AI restrictions this month; the access thread runs SCIM provisioning, multiple JWT configurations, and reader permission inheritance. This release adds a ground-up API v3 with OAuth 2.0 and scoped keys.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is being rebuilt around programmatic access rather than portal usage. MCP made the knowledge base writable by an assistant, llms.txt made it discoverable to crawlers, copy-as-Markdown and open-in-ChatGPT made articles portable, and API v3 now gives all of that a permission-aware substrate the old v1/v2 endpoints could not support. The same permission model is showing up on the reader side too — Eddy AI features are now gated per reader group — so authorization is becoming the shared spine across API, AI, and reader access.

◆ Prediction

Expect the advanced API v3 endpoints to keep expanding as a paid add-on and the MCP server to be re-plumbed onto v3's scoped-key model, since MCP currently sits outside the new authorization scheme. A v1/v2 deprecation notice is the other likely follow-up.

0.0

Soundbase layers AI Autopilot and continuous Health Check onto RF coordination — and adds an Enterprise Portal.

◆ Current state

Soundbase is layering automation and AI on top of its core RF frequency-coordination engine for live audio. Health Check now runs continuously in the background flagging conflicts, exclusions, spacing and IMD issues. The new Soundbase Assistant introduced Autopilot (Beta) for smart setup, and the Enterprise Portal added advanced search across machine/user/email plus a redesigned user table — signs of bigger-customer maturity.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is moving from 'better calculation engine' to 'background-running coordination intelligence' — Health Check, Autopilot and the new calculation engine all pull users out of manual frequency-by-frequency tuning. Equipment profile coverage keeps expanding (Sennheiser, Wisycom, Comtek), positioning Soundbase as the broadest cross-vendor RF tool, while Enterprise Portal investment hints at top-down adoption inside touring and broadcast orgs.

◆ Prediction

Expect Autopilot to graduate out of beta with a paid tier, deeper integration with live scan-data hardware (RF Venue Spectrum Recorder, Wisycom), and continued vendor profile expansion. Mobile-first surfaces would be the next obvious gap.
