Logseq vs Interact: at a glance
What is Logseq?
Logseq ships its first 2.0 beta, betting its future on a database backend.
Logseq spent over a year in a slow beta cadence on the file-based 0.10.x line, shipping mostly Electron bumps, embed fixes, and one security patch. Today it released the first public beta of 2.0, rebuilt on a new database (DB) storage engine, and confirmed the project is splitting into two versions. This is the payoff of a long-promised rewrite.
What is Interact?
Interact opens its intranet to outside AI assistants and uses Claude to attack its own platform.
Interact's October feed is led by Interact MCP, which brings the intranet into AI assistants people already use, with read and write access under each person's permissions. Its security team joined Anthropic's Cyber Verification Program and is testing its own platform with Claude Mythos 5.1, and Cyber Essentials certification now covers Interact and Sideways 6. The rest of the month is buyer guides, award news and thought leadership.
Logseq vs Interact: editorial side-by-side
Logseq
3.8COLLAB
Logseq ships its first 2.0 beta, betting its future on a database backend.
◆ Current state
Logseq spent over a year in a slow beta cadence on the file-based 0.10.x line, shipping mostly Electron bumps, embed fixes, and one security patch. Today it released the first public beta of 2.0, rebuilt on a new database (DB) storage engine, and confirmed the project is splitting into two versions. This is the payoff of a long-promised rewrite.
◆ Where it's heading
The DB rewrite moves Logseq off Markdown-file storage toward a database model, the prerequisite for the faster queries, reliable sync, and multi-device support the file-based app has struggled to deliver. Expect the 0.10.x line to slide into maintenance while 2.0 stabilizes. The formal split into two versions signals Logseq intends to keep supporting local Markdown graphs rather than force-migrate everyone.
◆ Prediction
Near-term releases will be rapid 2.0.x betas hardening the DB engine and the Markdown-to-DB migration path; a stable 2.0 hinges on how cleanly existing graphs import.
Interact
5.0COLLAB
Interact opens its intranet to outside AI assistants and uses Claude to attack its own platform.
◆ Current state
Interact's October feed is led by Interact MCP, which brings the intranet into AI assistants people already use, with read and write access under each person's permissions. Its security team joined Anthropic's Cyber Verification Program and is testing its own platform with Claude Mythos 5.1, and Cyber Essentials certification now covers Interact and Sideways 6. The rest of the month is buyer guides, award news and thought leadership.
◆ Where it's heading
The Spring Action Agent work put agents inside the intranet; MCP moves the intranet out to wherever employees already work. That raises the stakes on trust, which is why the security items matter more than they would alone: a system holding company knowledge is being opened to more clients. The company's content messaging now describes the intranet as adaptive.
◆ Prediction
Expect Conductor and MCP connections to reach more business systems, following the Workday pattern from the Spring Launch. Further security attestations are also likely as AI access expands.
