What is Document360?
Document360's Eddy AI now summarizes what changed between article versions.
Document360 ships a knowledge-base release roughly every week, with its Eddy AI assistant in most of them. 12.10.2 adds AI summaries of differences between article versions, customizable reader feedback options, per-widget link behaviour settings and a central Engage dashboard to reuse and localize guides and videos. The prior release added source citations to Eddy AI answers and consolidated SSO setup.
What is Mattermost?
Mattermost v12 puts user-scoped permissions, private models and audit trails on every agent action.
Mattermost's feed spent five weeks on security and resilience essays; the last product release was v11.11's data-spillage exposure report. v12 changes that: agents now act with the requesting user's access rather than a shared service account, can run on private models, and leave an audit trail per action. The announcement is short on detail, but the pitch is clear and aimed at defense and regulated buyers.

Document360
5.0COLLAB
Document360's Eddy AI now summarizes what changed between article versions.
◆ Current state
Document360 ships a knowledge-base release roughly every week, with its Eddy AI assistant in most of them. 12.10.2 adds AI summaries of differences between article versions, customizable reader feedback options, per-widget link behaviour settings and a central Engage dashboard to reuse and localize guides and videos. The prior release added source citations to Eddy AI answers and consolidated SSO setup.
◆ Where it's heading
Eddy AI is spreading from the reader-facing chatbot into the authoring and review workflow, with analytics, citations and now change summaries. Engage is being built out as a separate asset layer of guides and videos with its own localization and credit-based AI voiceovers.
◆ Prediction
Expect more AI help in the review and publishing flow, such as approvals or suggested fixes driven by version summaries.
Mattermost
6.3COLLAB
Mattermost v12 puts user-scoped permissions, private models and audit trails on every agent action.
◆ Current state
Mattermost's feed spent five weeks on security and resilience essays; the last product release was v11.11's data-spillage exposure report. v12 changes that: agents now act with the requesting user's access rather than a shared service account, can run on private models, and leave an audit trail per action. The announcement is short on detail, but the pitch is clear and aimed at defense and regulated buyers.
◆ Where it's heading
The essays on zero trust, data spillage and out-of-band response were building toward this. Mattermost is positioning its AI agents as governed, mission-safe tools inside its classified-environment niche rather than competing on agent breadth. The in-house Matty Code agent shows it also uses agents to build the product itself.
◆ Prediction
Expect v12.x follow-ups that publish admin controls and audit-log detail for agent actions, plus more deployment-focused content aimed at defense buyers.
