What is Contractbook?
Contract automation grows up: admin permission maps, 2FA, and forms that do their own arithmetic.
Contractbook released a batch of six changes on a single day covering three areas at once. Administration gets a company-wide Spaces access page answering who can reach which space and with what permission, plus OTP two-factor authentication at login. Contract creation gets calculation fields in forms that compute totals and pro-rated amounts and insert them into the document automatically. The AI side gets a new extraction model and a dedicated place to manage AI upload contract types, with built-in defaults now editable per company.
What is Document360?
Document360 rebuilt its API for agents; now it's turning the AI inward on authoring.
Monthly point releases on a steady 12.x line, each a themed bundle rather than a fix list. The last three releases rebuilt the developer-facing surface: an interactive API reference with an in-page Try It! console, a ground-up API v3 with OAuth 2.0 and scoped keys, and a Widget 2.0 embedding architecture now rolling out with a migration deadline. Around that, Eddy AI and the MCP server have been gaining governance controls — reader-group restrictions, workflow permissions, usage analytics — more often than new capabilities.

Contractbook
5.0COLLAB
Contract automation grows up: admin permission maps, 2FA, and forms that do their own arithmetic.
◆ Current state
Contractbook released a batch of six changes on a single day covering three areas at once. Administration gets a company-wide Spaces access page answering who can reach which space and with what permission, plus OTP two-factor authentication at login. Contract creation gets calculation fields in forms that compute totals and pro-rated amounts and insert them into the document automatically. The AI side gets a new extraction model and a dedicated place to manage AI upload contract types, with built-in defaults now editable per company.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is a product being fitted for larger customers: the access-visibility page is gated to Accelerate and Enterprise plans, group-level company permissions landed earlier in the year, and 2FA closes the obvious procurement objection. Meanwhile the AI features are moving from fixed behaviour toward configurable behaviour — extraction types are now a company's own list rather than the vendor's. Calculations remove the last common reason to edit a generated .docx by hand.
◆ Prediction
The admin thread points toward more permission surface — audit trails or per-space delegation would follow naturally from a page that already explains where each permission comes from. Nothing in these entries indicates how much extraction accuracy actually improved.
Document360
6.3COLLAB
Document360 rebuilt its API for agents; now it's turning the AI inward on authoring.
◆ Current state
Monthly point releases on a steady 12.x line, each a themed bundle rather than a fix list. The last three releases rebuilt the developer-facing surface: an interactive API reference with an in-page Try It! console, a ground-up API v3 with OAuth 2.0 and scoped keys, and a Widget 2.0 embedding architecture now rolling out with a migration deadline. Around that, Eddy AI and the MCP server have been gaining governance controls — reader-group restrictions, workflow permissions, usage analytics — more often than new capabilities.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run through the year. One makes the knowledge base machine-readable and machine-writable: MCP server, automatic llms.txt, open-an-article-in-ChatGPT-or-Claude, then API v3. The other fences that access with admin controls before enterprise buyers have to ask. The newest release turns the AI inward for the first time — the redesigned Publish dialog puts suggestions and validation in the author's path rather than the reader's, which is a different customer for the same capability.
◆ Prediction
The AI suggestions now sitting in the Publish dialog are the obvious candidate to move into the editor itself, and the advanced v3 endpoints sold as an add-on look like the seed of a higher API tier. The Widget 2.0 forced migration is the near-term execution risk, since it puts required technical work on existing customers to a fixed timeline.
