What is Tella?
Tella adds a Free plan, redesigns the editor, and broadens distribution into Intercom and beyond.
Tella is in a sustained editor-polish-plus-distribution cycle. The big change: a Free plan now sits alongside Pro, paired with an in-product AI support assistant. The editor was redesigned with a left-side toolbar, lighter UI, and a new transcript sidebar. New layouts (50/50 split) and finer camera-bubble positioning (3×3 grid plus three sizes across orientations) give creators more compositional control. Distribution widens with an Intercom Help Center integration and a refreshed tella.com.
What is Document360?
Methodical monthly cadence builds out the enterprise knowledge-base stack — with MCP as the new wedge.
Document360 ships a predictable monthly release with two parallel arcs running through the 12.x line: enterprise auth and reader management (SSO, JWT, SCIM, permission inheritance) and AI-assisted content (Eddy AI chatbot, writing agent, search, and now an MCP server). The platform reads as a knowledge-base vendor in its enterprise-consolidation phase — features land in waves and get reinforced over consecutive releases rather than as one-shot launches.

Tella

Tella adds a Free plan, redesigns the editor, and broadens distribution into Intercom and beyond.
◆ Current state
Tella is in a sustained editor-polish-plus-distribution cycle. The big change: a Free plan now sits alongside Pro, paired with an in-product AI support assistant. The editor was redesigned with a left-side toolbar, lighter UI, and a new transcript sidebar. New layouts (50/50 split) and finer camera-bubble positioning (3×3 grid plus three sizes across orientations) give creators more compositional control. Distribution widens with an Intercom Help Center integration and a refreshed tella.com.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is leaning into accessible-funnel-plus-creative-control: lower the barrier to start (Free plan), make the editor look modern and inviting, and embed videos where customers already are (Intercom). View notification controls and webhook events for viewer activity hint at an upcoming push toward integration-ready video analytics.
◆ Prediction
Expect more distribution surfaces (Slack, Notion-style embeds beyond Intercom) and AI features beyond the support assistant — likely auto-chapters, B-roll generation, or transcript-driven editing. The Free plan likely drives an experimentation phase before the next pricing/packaging tightening.
Document360
2.5COLLAB
Methodical monthly cadence builds out the enterprise knowledge-base stack — with MCP as the new wedge.
◆ Current state
Document360 ships a predictable monthly release with two parallel arcs running through the 12.x line: enterprise auth and reader management (SSO, JWT, SCIM, permission inheritance) and AI-assisted content (Eddy AI chatbot, writing agent, search, and now an MCP server). The platform reads as a knowledge-base vendor in its enterprise-consolidation phase — features land in waves and get reinforced over consecutive releases rather than as one-shot launches.
◆ Where it's heading
The most directional move was March's MCP server integration, which exposed the knowledge base to ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot via standard tokens — this just got followed by a dedicated MCP analytics dashboard in May, so adoption is real enough to instrument. Enterprise auth keeps getting layered: SCIM provisioning landed in March, multiple-JWT-configurations (up to 5 per project) landed in May. Reader permissioning is being pushed deeper into the content tree, with category-level inheritance now matching the user-level model.
◆ Prediction
Next iterations of the MCP surface will likely add scoping or quotas now that there's analytics to justify them, and reader-permission inheritance will probably extend from categories to articles and workflow stages. The 12.5 line implies a 12.6 in June following the same monthly pattern.
