What is Deskpro?

Deskpro's last four releases tell one story: making AI safe enough for regulated buyers.

Deskpro ships large, infrequent releases that pair a headline AI change with a long tail of fixes. 2026.4 sits at the polish end of that cycle — reply routing back to the address a person actually wrote from, Help Centre articles saving again, the Macros admin page loading on MariaDB — with one structural change: AI features now resolve datasource access from the trusted service making the request rather than from the request itself.

What is Hatz AI?

Hatz AI launched Activate for MSP AI deployments and made phone agents self-service in back-to-back releases

Hatz AI is shipping at a high rate across three threads: model additions (Claude Fable 5.1, Gemini 3.8 Flash, GLM 5.3, DeepSeek variants), phone agent capabilities (pause/duplicate/reassign/silence controls/live look-ups), and MSP-specific tooling (Hatz Activate for Shadow AI scanning and AI rollouts, Hatz Learn moved in-house, PSA sync improvements). The product is positioning as the AI-as-a-service layer for MSPs managing client AI adoption.

Deskpro vs Hatz AI: editorial side-by-side

SUPPORT
5.0

Deskpro's last four releases tell one story: making AI safe enough for regulated buyers.

◆ Current state

Deskpro ships large, infrequent releases that pair a headline AI change with a long tail of fixes. 2026.4 sits at the polish end of that cycle — reply routing back to the address a person actually wrote from, Help Centre articles saving again, the Macros admin page loading on MariaDB — with one structural change: AI features now resolve datasource access from the trusted service making the request rather than from the request itself.

◆ Where it's heading

Since late 2025 the through-line has been control over where inference runs and what it can read: self-hosted Private AI, then Berget AI for European hosting, then Snippets as a grounded reply source, then selective re-indexing so large help desks could actually use it, now server-side datasource permissions. Model choice keeps broadening alongside it — Gemini 3 Pro arrived in 2026.3 — but governance, not model access, is what separates these releases from competitors'.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next release to continue on AI permissions and audit visibility plus additional model providers; the accessibility work spread across admin pages suggests the WCAG effort is mid-flight rather than finished.

Hatz AI launched Activate for MSP AI deployments and made phone agents self-service in back-to-back releases

◆ Current state

Hatz AI is shipping at a high rate across three threads: model additions (Claude Fable 5.1, Gemini 3.8 Flash, GLM 5.3, DeepSeek variants), phone agent capabilities (pause/duplicate/reassign/silence controls/live look-ups), and MSP-specific tooling (Hatz Activate for Shadow AI scanning and AI rollouts, Hatz Learn moved in-house, PSA sync improvements). The product is positioning as the AI-as-a-service layer for MSPs managing client AI adoption.

◆ Where it's heading

Hatz Activate is the strategic move: a Shadow AI scanning and customer activation workflow built into the admin dashboard turns Hatz from an AI chat platform into a managed AI deployment product for MSPs. Phone agents are becoming a first-class product with their own life cycle — self-service requests, drafts, silence controls, per-minute billing — suggesting Hatz is building toward a full voice AI service layer for MSP clients.

◆ Prediction

Phone agent features will reach parity with the core chat/workflow surface within two or three releases — approval workflows, templates, and call analytics are the remaining gaps — while Activate will get deeper PSA integrations as MSPs begin using it for active client management rather than just prospecting.
