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 SoundBase?

Soundbase layers AI Autopilot and continuous Health Check onto RF coordination — and adds an Enterprise Portal.

Soundbase is layering automation and AI on top of its core RF frequency-coordination engine for live audio. Health Check now runs continuously in the background flagging conflicts, exclusions, spacing and IMD issues. The new Soundbase Assistant introduced Autopilot (Beta) for smart setup, and the Enterprise Portal added advanced search across machine/user/email plus a redesigned user table — signs of bigger-customer maturity.

Document360 vs SoundBase: 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.

0.0

Soundbase layers AI Autopilot and continuous Health Check onto RF coordination — and adds an Enterprise Portal.

◆ Current state

Soundbase is layering automation and AI on top of its core RF frequency-coordination engine for live audio. Health Check now runs continuously in the background flagging conflicts, exclusions, spacing and IMD issues. The new Soundbase Assistant introduced Autopilot (Beta) for smart setup, and the Enterprise Portal added advanced search across machine/user/email plus a redesigned user table — signs of bigger-customer maturity.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is moving from 'better calculation engine' to 'background-running coordination intelligence' — Health Check, Autopilot and the new calculation engine all pull users out of manual frequency-by-frequency tuning. Equipment profile coverage keeps expanding (Sennheiser, Wisycom, Comtek), positioning Soundbase as the broadest cross-vendor RF tool, while Enterprise Portal investment hints at top-down adoption inside touring and broadcast orgs.

◆ Prediction

Expect Autopilot to graduate out of beta with a paid tier, deeper integration with live scan-data hardware (RF Venue Spectrum Recorder, Wisycom), and continued vendor profile expansion. Mobile-first surfaces would be the next obvious gap.
