What is Hatz AI?

Hatz stopped shipping only AI and started shipping the MSP's selling motion.

Hatz AI runs a fast, dense release train aimed at managed service providers reselling AI to their clients. The base layer keeps absorbing frontier models within days of release — Claude Opus 5, Kimi K3, GLM 5.2 Fast, Gemini 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite, and now DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 — while platform work fills in around it: AutoTool v2 for automatic tool selection, artifact sharing and a fullscreen presentation mode, and a phone agent that has grown from a feature into a managed fleet. The partner layer arrived in force with Hatz Activate, a rollout console with its own Sales User role.

What is Olark?

Olark rebuilds around v2 — new layout, AI Assistants surface, in-product bot evaluation.

Olark is mid-rollout of v2, a full interface rebuild that landed in mid-2025. The AI Assistants area is now structured around Knowledge / Persona / Evaluation tabs, with bot review and feedback (thumbs up/down on individual answers) happening directly in-product. Knowledge ingestion has expanded to JSON and ZIP files plus much larger website crawls. Smaller v2 quality-of-life touches keep landing — collapsed agent menus, static offline messages, Group ID exposure for API users.

Hatz stopped shipping only AI and started shipping the MSP's selling motion.

◆ Current state

Hatz AI runs a fast, dense release train aimed at managed service providers reselling AI to their clients. The base layer keeps absorbing frontier models within days of release — Claude Opus 5, Kimi K3, GLM 5.2 Fast, Gemini 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite, and now DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 — while platform work fills in around it: AutoTool v2 for automatic tool selection, artifact sharing and a fullscreen presentation mode, and a phone agent that has grown from a feature into a managed fleet. The partner layer arrived in force with Hatz Activate, a rollout console with its own Sales User role.

◆ Where it's heading

Two layers are being built at once, and they are diverging in kind. The lower one is model-agnostic plumbing where speed of adoption is the only differentiator, which explains the cadence and the sameness of those entries. The upper one is the partner layer, and it is now moving past acquisition into operations — phone agents can be paused, duplicated onto new numbers, and reassigned between tenants under the same MSP, which is fleet management rather than feature work, and credit usage became self-serve to answer instead of an admin request.

◆ Prediction

The self-reporting credit usage and per-number minute limits point toward margin control as the next area to thicken — an MSP reselling usage-priced phone agents needs to see consumption per client before it bills, and nothing in these entries closes that loop yet. Expect the phone agent to keep accumulating tenant-level administration rather than new conversational capability.

0.0

Olark rebuilds around v2 — new layout, AI Assistants surface, in-product bot evaluation.

◆ Current state

Olark is mid-rollout of v2, a full interface rebuild that landed in mid-2025. The AI Assistants area is now structured around Knowledge / Persona / Evaluation tabs, with bot review and feedback (thumbs up/down on individual answers) happening directly in-product. Knowledge ingestion has expanded to JSON and ZIP files plus much larger website crawls. Smaller v2 quality-of-life touches keep landing — collapsed agent menus, static offline messages, Group ID exposure for API users.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is being rebuilt around AI-assisted chat support, not bolted on. The Evaluation tab in particular signals a closed-loop training direction — agents tune the bot from real conversations rather than configuring it abstractly. v2 is also shedding classic settings page by page; expect that migration to keep producing visible incremental wins.

◆ Prediction

Next moves likely deepen the bot evaluation loop — automatic quality scoring, suggested knowledge updates from low-rated answers — and continue retiring classic surfaces. A pricing/tiering revisit around AI usage is plausible once the v2 migration has run its course.
