Different Problems, Different Solutions

Document360 and askSOPia look similar at first glance — both deal with knowledge management. But they solve fundamentally different problems.

Document360 is a platform for structured knowledge bases. Its focus is helpdesk articles, API documentation, and internal manuals. It excels at organizing and making existing knowledge accessible.

askSOPia is a corporate memory. Its focus is capturing the knowledge that would never make it into a knowledge base — decision rationale, implicit processes, experiential insights.

When Document360 Is the Right Choice

Document360 excels for:

  • Customer helpdesks and FAQ portals
  • API documentation for developers
  • Standardized internal manuals
  • Teams that actively create and maintain articles

When askSOPia Is the Right Choice

askSOPia is for companies that:

  • Have experienced employees whose knowledge isn't documented
  • Need to secure knowledge as part of succession planning
  • Want to onboard new employees faster
  • Know the problem of top experts being constantly interrupted with questions

What askSOPia Does Differently

Automatic Extraction Instead of Manual Article Creation

Document360 expects someone to write an article, format it, and place it in the right category. askSOPia extracts knowledge automatically: upload a meeting recording, AI identifies decisions and processes, structured cards are created.

Decision Logic Instead of Article Format

Document360 stores articles — formatted text with headings, screenshots, and links. askSOPia stores knowledge types: Decision Cards capture not just the decision, but the context, alternatives, and rationale. That's the difference between "We use supplier X" and "We use supplier X because Y and Z failed on project A."

Internal Knowledge, Not Support Documentation

Document360 is optimized for knowledge communicated externally — to customers, users, developers. askSOPia is optimized for knowledge that must stay internal — project decisions, engineering know-how, operational experience.

The Right Combination

For many companies, the combination makes sense: Document360 for the external knowledge base and customer support, askSOPia for internal knowledge preservation. Two different tools for two different problems.

Step 1: Executive Continuity Review (free, 20 min.) Step 2: Knowledge Sprint — your first knowledge base in 5 days Step 3: askSOPia Subscription — flat rate, independent of user count

Frequently Asked Questions

Document360's internal knowledge base is essentially a document management system. Employees must manually create and maintain articles. askSOPia extracts knowledge automatically from meetings and documents — without manual effort.

No. askSOPia is not a helpdesk tool. It's an internal corporate memory. If you use Document360 for customer support, keep it — and add askSOPia for internal knowledge preservation.

Yes. Exported Document360 articles are processed during the Knowledge Sprint. The AI extracts structured knowledge and automatically creates linked cards with context.

Document360 makes it easier to write knowledge down and find it. askSOPia solves the problem that knowledge never gets written down — because it's automatically extracted from daily work.
