What is Dialpad?
April release batches a broad UCaaS and contact-center refresh; recent feed has scrape noise.
On April 4 Dialpad pushed a wide release touching iOS UX (new calling experience, faster message catch-up), contact-center tooling (AI Scorecard multiple choice, follow-up questions, WFM schedule notifications via Dialbot), workplace plumbing (3-digit extensions, channel sort by priority, follow-up reminders), and branding (co-branded app header). Two later entries in the feed are not releases — they are website CTAs ("Call sales", "Or explore our suggestions") captured by the changelog scraper. Real cadence is therefore one batched release plus subsequent silence.
What is Hatz AI?
Hatz is building MSP-grade governance over a broad model roster, now jolted by a forced Fable 5 shutdown.
Hatz AI is an MSP-oriented multi-model platform layering admin controls over Anthropic, Gemini, and other models. Recent work centers on tenant governance, integration and custom-MCP enable/disable controls, tenant workspace templates that preset models and features, model-credit multipliers, and on agentic workflows and phone agents (post-call automation, multi-department routing). It just disabled Claude Fable 5 in compliance with a US government directive, days after adding it.

Dialpad
1.7SUPPORTCOMMS
April release batches a broad UCaaS and contact-center refresh; recent feed has scrape noise.
◆ Current state
On April 4 Dialpad pushed a wide release touching iOS UX (new calling experience, faster message catch-up), contact-center tooling (AI Scorecard multiple choice, follow-up questions, WFM schedule notifications via Dialbot), workplace plumbing (3-digit extensions, channel sort by priority, follow-up reminders), and branding (co-branded app header). Two later entries in the feed are not releases — they are website CTAs ("Call sales", "Or explore our suggestions") captured by the changelog scraper. Real cadence is therefore one batched release plus subsequent silence.
◆ Where it's heading
The April batch shows simultaneous investment across the UCaaS surface (messaging, channels, app branding) and the contact-center surface (AI Scorecard depth, WFM adherence). The pattern of bundling channel-by-channel improvements suggests Dialpad is positioning the whole platform as a single integrated suite rather than componentizing UCaaS and CCaaS as separate stories.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next visible release to extend AI Scorecards toward the agent-coaching loop — answers driving recommended actions, links to specific call moments, or auto-generated coaching plans. iOS UX investment will likely propagate to Android.
Hatz AI
6.3SUPPORT
Hatz is building MSP-grade governance over a broad model roster, now jolted by a forced Fable 5 shutdown.
◆ Current state
Hatz AI is an MSP-oriented multi-model platform layering admin controls over Anthropic, Gemini, and other models. Recent work centers on tenant governance, integration and custom-MCP enable/disable controls, tenant workspace templates that preset models and features, model-credit multipliers, and on agentic workflows and phone agents (post-call automation, multi-department routing). It just disabled Claude Fable 5 in compliance with a US government directive, days after adding it.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc is toward MSPs managing AI for many client tenants: standardized provisioning, per-tenant control over which models, integrations, and MCP servers are available, and workflow/phone automation that runs the actual support work. The Fable 5 add-then-disable sequence shows the platform absorbing model-availability shocks that aggregators are uniquely exposed to.
◆ Prediction
Expect deeper tenant-level governance and model-policy controls, and more agentic workflow and phone-agent capability; the platform's multi-model design lets MSPs reroute around the disabled Fable 5 to other Anthropic and Gemini options.
