Assembled is turning workforce management into an agentic control layer for AI-run support.
Assembled is repositioning from a scheduling and forecasting WFM tool into a platform for managing AI and human support agents together. Recent moves center on agentic interfaces (an MCP server, Data Connectors feeding AI agents company data), AI-quality tooling (Experience Scores, Knowledge Opportunities), and channel breadth across voice, chat, email, and copilot — plus integrations with Five9 and Genesys Cloud.
Hatz 2.0 turns its chat into an agent that plans, browses and saves its work as automations.
Hatz is a multi-model AI platform sold through MSPs. Hatz 2.0, released November 12, merges its Auto tiers into one Auto mode that plans each task, splits it across parallel helpers, works in websites through a controlled browser and saves finished work as repeatable automations. A Vault keeps API keys out of the model's view, and chats can run for up to three hours unattended. The same day added an itemised Subscription Overview for MSP billing and Claude Fable 5.2 and Gemini 4 Carbon in the model catalog, a week after Spaces and the AI Gateway.

The arc is toward a single platform that staffs, evaluates, and runs both human and AI agents. Expect deeper agent-native control (natural-language operations via MCP), tighter data plumbing so AI agents answer accurately, and continued contact-center integrations to meet enterprises where their CX stacks already live.
Likely next: more agent identity and quality tooling and additional contact-center platform integrations, extending agentic WFM as the category Assembled is trying to own.

Hatz is moving from a model picker with workflows to an agent runtime that MSPs govern. The November 6 gateway put outside coding agents under Hatz controls; Hatz 2.0 makes its own chat an agent, with approvals, credentials handling and billing visibility for the MSP layer.
Expect the next releases to give MSP admins finer controls over agent runs, such as per-role approval policies, browser site limits and credit caps for automations.
