What is Document360?
Document360 opens its knowledge base wider: per-user Zendesk sign-in, feedback APIs and MCP.
Document360 ships a knowledge-base release almost every week. 12.11.1 lets Zendesk agents sign in with their own accounts, exposes article and Eddy AI feedback through new API endpoints, and extends MCP. The October releases added Eddy AI summaries of version differences and source citations in AI answers.
What is Mattermost?
Mattermost v12.1 puts bots and burn-after-reading messages under the same access rules.
Mattermost v12 shipped in parts: agents limited to the requesting user's access, Cross Guard for transfers across security domains, and user, device and channel attributes in access policy. A November 9 partnership pairs v12 with Arqit's quantum-safe device trust. v12.1 on November 13 extends attribute-based access control to bot accounts and to Burn-on-Read permissions, and Desktop v6.4 fixes Boards on subpath deployments.

Document360
5.0COLLAB
Document360 opens its knowledge base wider: per-user Zendesk sign-in, feedback APIs and MCP.
◆ Current state
Document360 ships a knowledge-base release almost every week. 12.11.1 lets Zendesk agents sign in with their own accounts, exposes article and Eddy AI feedback through new API endpoints, and extends MCP. The October releases added Eddy AI summaries of version differences and source citations in AI answers.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is making its content and AI signals available to other tools: help desks, APIs and AI clients through MCP. Eddy AI keeps getting review and trust features rather than new generation features.
◆ Prediction
More MCP tools and integrations with support desks are the likely next releases, on the weekly cadence.
Mattermost
6.3COLLAB
Mattermost v12.1 puts bots and burn-after-reading messages under the same access rules.
◆ Current state
Mattermost v12 shipped in parts: agents limited to the requesting user's access, Cross Guard for transfers across security domains, and user, device and channel attributes in access policy. A November 9 partnership pairs v12 with Arqit's quantum-safe device trust. v12.1 on November 13 extends attribute-based access control to bot accounts and to Burn-on-Read permissions, and Desktop v6.4 fixes Boards on subpath deployments.
◆ Where it's heading
Each release closes another gap in one policy model for who and what can see a message: people, devices, channels, and now automation accounts and ephemeral messages. The audience stays defence and regulated buyers, and point releases are filling in v12 rather than starting new lines.
◆ Prediction
Further v12.x releases likely apply the same attribute rules to more objects, such as files, plugins or AI agent actions, following the pattern of v12.1.
