What is DocsBot AI?

DocsBot wraps its launch week of channels, Operator, Voice and Evals.

DocsBot's November 2 to 6 launch week shipped five releases. Multichannel added WhatsApp Business, Telegram and CRM lead delivery; Dynamic UI lets answers render cards, forms and buttons; Operator is an in-product agent that builds bots and fixes their sources; Voice answers phone calls; Evals tests changes against real customer questions. A recap post on November 9 closes the week.

What is Khoj?

Khoj gave its assistant long-term memory, then started winding down its own cloud.

The 2.0 beta line is doing two things at once. In February it gave Khoj long-term memories, moving the assistant from per-conversation context to knowledge that persists across sessions. Six weeks later it began deprecating Khoj cloud — a banner warning hosted users, and the subscribe option removed from the web app's settings page. The same release upgraded the web app to Next.js 15 and fixed the research agent stopping earlier than it should.

DocsBot wraps its launch week of channels, Operator, Voice and Evals.

◆ Current state

DocsBot's November 2 to 6 launch week shipped five releases. Multichannel added WhatsApp Business, Telegram and CRM lead delivery; Dynamic UI lets answers render cards, forms and buttons; Operator is an in-product agent that builds bots and fixes their sources; Voice answers phone calls; Evals tests changes against real customer questions. A recap post on November 9 closes the week.

◆ Where it's heading

DocsBot is moving from a docs chatbot to a support agent platform that answers on every channel and checks its own quality. Operator and Evals point to bots that are maintained and tested with little manual work.

◆ Prediction

Expect follow-up releases that tie Evals results to Operator, so the agent fixes the gaps that tests find.

Khoj gave its assistant long-term memory, then started winding down its own cloud.

◆ Current state

The 2.0 beta line is doing two things at once. In February it gave Khoj long-term memories, moving the assistant from per-conversation context to knowledge that persists across sessions. Six weeks later it began deprecating Khoj cloud — a banner warning hosted users, and the subscribe option removed from the web app's settings page. The same release upgraded the web app to Next.js 15 and fixed the research agent stopping earlier than it should.

◆ Where it's heading

Khoj is consolidating around the self-hosted product and the model layer beneath it, and stepping back from running the hosted service. Model support has been broadening steadily — Gemini Pro 3, Minimax M2, Nano Banana image editing, configurable fallback models with admin-set priority — while Stability AI image generation was dropped. The client work follows the same logic: Obsidian batch sync, file query filter autocomplete, reference copying, all aimed at people running their own instance against their own files.

◆ Prediction

With subscriptions already disabled and a deprecation banner live, the next step for the hosted service is a shutdown date. The entries stop in late March 2026, so whether 2.0 has left beta since is not visible here.
