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.

What is HelloID?

Identity governance shipping on a monthly train, mostly rollback correctness and rule tuning.

HelloID publishes in release-numbered bundles — a preview of what is coming in 2026.08, then fixed lists per module. The substantive items this cycle are a configurable exception threshold for rule mining (now settable anywhere from 20% down to 0%), request-GUID stamping in the Elastic audit log, cached target-snapshot permissions in preview, and PowerShell 7 support for the local Service Automation agent. Everything else is defect work in provisioning rollback, delegated forms, and automation variables.

Document360 vs HelloID: editorial side-by-side

D6.3

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.

5.0

Identity governance shipping on a monthly train, mostly rollback correctness and rule tuning.

◆ Current state

HelloID publishes in release-numbered bundles — a preview of what is coming in 2026.08, then fixed lists per module. The substantive items this cycle are a configurable exception threshold for rule mining (now settable anywhere from 20% down to 0%), request-GUID stamping in the Elastic audit log, cached target-snapshot permissions in preview, and PowerShell 7 support for the local Service Automation agent. Everything else is defect work in provisioning rollback, delegated forms, and automation variables.

◆ Where it's heading

The work is concentrated on making automated provisioning trustworthy enough to run unattended: rollback that cleans up a half-created Active Directory account when Exchange fails, variables that reflect their current values at execution time, and audit records that tie a message back to the request that produced it. Rule mining is the one place where the product is getting easier to adopt rather than merely more correct — dropping the exception threshold to zero is aimed squarely at the first-time setup problem of deriving rules from a messy directory. The release cadence is predictable and module-partitioned, with previews telegraphing the next train.

◆ Prediction

Expect the 2026.08 train to land the PowerShell 7 agent alongside more rule-mining configurability, since both are the only threads in this window being extended rather than repaired.
