What is Hatz AI?
Hatz pivots integration stack to MCP-native, sheds consumer connectors for MSP focus.
Hatz AI positions itself as a multi-LLM workspace tuned for MSPs, layering PSA depth (ConnectWise rebuild, new Autotask) on top of Auto Model Selection that routes per-message across model tiers. Recent releases pair model breadth (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Opus 4.7) with admin governance: role-based AI controls, credit dashboards, M365-only export policies, MSP-only community partitions.
What is Canny?
Canny is rebuilding around hierarchical Ideas and giving AI direct access to the feedback data.
Canny is in the middle of a structural shift. The Ideas beta — a new hierarchy of groups, ideas, and insights — has become the trunk most recent work hangs off, while an MCP server opened the same data to ChatGPT and Claude back in February. Updates over the last quarter either deepen Ideas (status syncing across portal and PM tools, attachments, view memory) or extend AI surfaces (Smarter Replies, MCP improvements, Autopilot transparency).

Hatz AI
6.3SUPPORT
Hatz pivots integration stack to MCP-native, sheds consumer connectors for MSP focus.
◆ Current state
Hatz AI positions itself as a multi-LLM workspace tuned for MSPs, layering PSA depth (ConnectWise rebuild, new Autotask) on top of Auto Model Selection that routes per-message across model tiers. Recent releases pair model breadth (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Opus 4.7) with admin governance: role-based AI controls, credit dashboards, M365-only export policies, MSP-only community partitions.
◆ Where it's heading
The May 25 release marks the clearest directional move: Beta integrations for Apollo, Webflow, Linear, Attio, Asana, and Cal.com replaced custom connectors with official MCP servers, while Browserbase, Gmail, Google Calendar, LinkedIn, Reddit, Salesforce, Slack, and X/Twitter were deprecated outright. The product is narrowing from a generalist AI workspace toward sales/PM/dev tooling that fits MSP and B2B-ops buyer workflows, and standardizing on MCP rather than in-house integration code.
◆ Prediction
Expect remaining custom integrations to migrate to MCP servers next, and continued investment in MSP-specific governance — tenant-level data residency, finer role permissions, and PSA-driven workflows. A second wave of B2B-ops MCP integrations (HubSpot, Outreach, Notion) is the likely follow-on.
Canny
2.5SUPPORT
Canny is rebuilding around hierarchical Ideas and giving AI direct access to the feedback data.
◆ Current state
Canny is in the middle of a structural shift. The Ideas beta — a new hierarchy of groups, ideas, and insights — has become the trunk most recent work hangs off, while an MCP server opened the same data to ChatGPT and Claude back in February. Updates over the last quarter either deepen Ideas (status syncing across portal and PM tools, attachments, view memory) or extend AI surfaces (Smarter Replies, MCP improvements, Autopilot transparency).
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving toward a model where feedback flows in via AI (Autopilot, Smart Replies, MCP), gets organized through hierarchical Ideas, and stays in sync bidirectionally with the engineering stack and the public portal. The integrations are the most telling signal — two-way sync with GitHub, Jira, ClickUp, and Linear, plus status mapping between internal Ideas and Portal statuses, suggest Canny wants to be the layer where customer feedback and product execution meet, not a separate system to be checked.
◆ Prediction
Expect Ideas to graduate from beta within a quarter or two and become the default model for new accounts, with two-way status sync extending to Azure DevOps and Asana as already pre-announced.
