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 Teable?
A daily release train grinding on BYODB reliability and large-table performance.
Teable ships a numbered release most days, and the current run is dominated by operational hardening rather than new surface. The recurring subject is bring-your-own-database: health statuses for read-only, unreachable and degraded connections, 409 conflicts on read-only writes, paused-and-resumed computed tasks, and tightened validation that now rejects private or internal network addresses. Alongside that sits a steady stream of large-table performance work — bulk deletes across tens of thousands of records, view duplication, lookup and cascade chains, field conversions.

Document360
6.3COLLAB
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.
Teable
5.0COLLAB
A daily release train grinding on BYODB reliability and large-table performance.
◆ Current state
Teable ships a numbered release most days, and the current run is dominated by operational hardening rather than new surface. The recurring subject is bring-your-own-database: health statuses for read-only, unreachable and degraded connections, 409 conflicts on read-only writes, paused-and-resumed computed tasks, and tightened validation that now rejects private or internal network addresses. Alongside that sits a steady stream of large-table performance work — bulk deletes across tens of thousands of records, view duplication, lookup and cascade chains, field conversions.
◆ Where it's heading
The centre of gravity is self-hosted and admin-operated deployments: the Admin Outbox anomaly tooling, bulk incident recovery, license checkout fixes and BYODB remediation guidance all serve an operator, not an end user. The App Builder is developing in parallel, picking up publishing metadata and an instance-wide control over whether platform-managed AI keys reach apps. The new 10-minute floor on scheduled automations is the first sign of the platform imposing cost discipline on its own execution surface.
◆ Prediction
Expect the automation interval floor to be followed by further execution quotas or tiering, given it was introduced with existing configurations grandfathered in. BYODB looks close to feature-complete on health and recovery, so the next visible work is likelier on the App Builder.
