Formbricks stabilizes 5.4 with SSO hardening across Microsoft multi-tenant and Redis resilience.
Formbricks is in pre-release stabilization for 5.4, with a dense stream of release candidates concentrated on SSO authentication hardening and Redis connection reliability. The 5.4.0 baseline introduced substantive capabilities — MCP OAuth tooling, dashboard-level date filters, scalable background embedding pools, PostHog AI observability — but the last week of rc iterations has been operational rather than functional.
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.
Formbricks is in pre-release stabilization for 5.4, with a dense stream of release candidates concentrated on SSO authentication hardening and Redis connection reliability. The 5.4.0 baseline introduced substantive capabilities — MCP OAuth tooling, dashboard-level date filters, scalable background embedding pools, PostHog AI observability — but the last week of rc iterations has been operational rather than functional.
Two parallel arcs define Formbricks' direction: structural enterprise-readiness (SSO hardening across multiple identity providers, self-hosting observability, MCP integration) and expansion of the feedback data layer (Hub aggregation, embedding pools, feedback record filters). Whether the MCP tooling develops into a first-class product surface or stays as a developer integration path will define whether Formbricks grows meaningfully beyond survey-tool positioning.
The 5.4 stable release is close. The next cycle will likely surface the MCP tooling as a highlighted capability or push further on Hub feedback aggregation — the infrastructure for both is in place.
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.
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.
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.
