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 Readwise?
Readwise ships library-wide Ghostreader with tool-calling: tag, annotate, save across your full archive
Readwise is in an aggressive capability expansion phase centered on its Ghostreader AI layer. The August 7 release shipped Global Ghostreader — AI that searches, tags, annotates, and manages the full user library with granular per-tool permission controls. This followed Readwise 2.0, a complete mobile app rebuild. The team ships meaningful changes at a weekly cadence while simultaneously expanding integration depth across Kindle, Kobo, Twitter, and the MCP server.

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.
Readwise
5.0COLLAB
Readwise ships library-wide Ghostreader with tool-calling: tag, annotate, save across your full archive
◆ Current state
Readwise is in an aggressive capability expansion phase centered on its Ghostreader AI layer. The August 7 release shipped Global Ghostreader — AI that searches, tags, annotates, and manages the full user library with granular per-tool permission controls. This followed Readwise 2.0, a complete mobile app rebuild. The team ships meaningful changes at a weekly cadence while simultaneously expanding integration depth across Kindle, Kobo, Twitter, and the MCP server.
◆ Where it's heading
Readwise is converting its reading archive into an AI-native knowledge management platform. The move from per-document AI to library-wide AI with tool-calling puts it in direct competition with Notion AI and Mem — but with a moat in years of accumulated highlights and reading history those tools can't replicate. Subsequent releases have been tightening integration quality (Kindle, OpenAI keys, Ghostreader targeting) and expanding mobile parity rather than adding new AI surface.
◆ Prediction
Mobile-native Global Ghostreader tools are the likely next move — library-wide AI tools currently require web or desktop, while mobile chat only recently launched. Completion of that convergence would unify the platform's AI story across every surface.
