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 Reflect?
Reflect's quiet SQLite frontend rewrite reset its performance ceiling and unblocked the AI roadmap.
Reflect is a personal note-taking app with embedded AI features (chat, transcription, summarization). The structurally important move of the year was a frontend rewrite onto SQLite, shipped across iOS, web, macOS, and then iPad over March 2025 — fixing the load-time and large-collection ceilings that had been quietly limiting the product. The rest of the visible cadence has been AI surface work: in-line voice transcription, Gemini for long-context chat, AI link summaries that feed semantic search, and an editor for custom prompt templates.

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.
Reflect

Reflect's quiet SQLite frontend rewrite reset its performance ceiling and unblocked the AI roadmap.
◆ Current state
Reflect is a personal note-taking app with embedded AI features (chat, transcription, summarization). The structurally important move of the year was a frontend rewrite onto SQLite, shipped across iOS, web, macOS, and then iPad over March 2025 — fixing the load-time and large-collection ceilings that had been quietly limiting the product. The rest of the visible cadence has been AI surface work: in-line voice transcription, Gemini for long-context chat, AI link summaries that feed semantic search, and an editor for custom prompt templates.
◆ Where it's heading
Reflect is closing the desktop-mobile parity gap one feature at a time (advanced search filters made the jump from desktop to iOS in August) while making the AI surface more configurable and more entangled with search. The team's own July release explicitly named AI chat on mobile as the next milestone. The pattern: ship the architectural foundation, then layer the AI features that depend on it.
◆ Prediction
AI chat on mobile is the next named milestone from the team's own published roadmap notes. Beyond that, expect more features that quietly feed AI-generated context into search (the link-summary pattern extended to OCR'd PDFs, voice transcripts, etc.) and continued performance work that exploits the SQLite rewrite.
