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 Teable?
Teable ships daily, and the work has moved from grid features to platform governance.
Teable releases several times a week under timestamped version tags. This window covers admin-governed shared Skills, scoped personal access token enforcement, an instance-wide control over whether platform AI keys reach Apps, BYODB health reporting, and a sustained run of performance work on lookups, computed-field cascades, and large-table operations.
Contractbook vs Teable: editorial side-by-side
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.
Teable
6.3COLLAB
Teable ships daily, and the work has moved from grid features to platform governance.
◆ Current state
Teable releases several times a week under timestamped version tags. This window covers admin-governed shared Skills, scoped personal access token enforcement, an instance-wide control over whether platform AI keys reach Apps, BYODB health reporting, and a sustained run of performance work on lookups, computed-field cascades, and large-table operations.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads dominate. The first is agent infrastructure being pulled under administrative control: Skills published, upgraded, rolled back, and access-managed centrally rather than installed per user, alongside a switch governing AI credentials for Apps. The second is durability at scale, with write bursts, high fan-out cascades, and tens-of-thousands-record selections all getting attention. Together they describe a product hardening for self-hosted and larger deployments where AI features need an audit trail and an off switch.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Skills governance surface to extend toward usage reporting or per-Skill permissioning, and continued work on computed-field cascades, which appear in nearly every release in this window.
