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 Memos?
Memos is turning a personal note store into an agent-addressable, private-by-default service
The release candidates in this window carry unusually heavy changes for a self-hosted note app: an embedded MCP endpoint exposing memo CRUD, comments, attachments and tags to AI clients; live updates over server-sent events; revocable share links; and a browser Web Clipper for saving pages and selections as Markdown. A parallel candidate makes instances without an explicit instance URL run in private mode and rewrites filters onto CEL timestamps.

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.

Memos is turning a personal note store into an agent-addressable, private-by-default service
◆ Current state
The release candidates in this window carry unusually heavy changes for a self-hosted note app: an embedded MCP endpoint exposing memo CRUD, comments, attachments and tags to AI clients; live updates over server-sent events; revocable share links; and a browser Web Clipper for saving pages and selections as Markdown. A parallel candidate makes instances without an explicit instance URL run in private mode and rewrites filters onto CEL timestamps.
◆ Where it's heading
Two directions are converging. One is machine access — MCP moved from a stateful server with prompts and resources to a stateless, tools-only endpoint generated from the OpenAPI schema, which is a deliberate narrowing toward something agents can call reliably. The other is defaults that assume the instance is private until an admin says otherwise. Together they reposition Memos from a personal web app to a small API-shaped service with a human UI on top.
◆ Prediction
Expect the MCP surface to stabilise against the OpenAPI schema as the source of truth and the private-by-default posture to carry into a general release, with clients that relied on prompts, resources or unprefixed tool names needing to migrate.
