What is Hatz AI?
Hatz 2.0 turns its chat into an agent that plans, browses and saves its work as automations.
Hatz is a multi-model AI platform sold through MSPs. Hatz 2.0, released November 12, merges its Auto tiers into one Auto mode that plans each task, splits it across parallel helpers, works in websites through a controlled browser and saves finished work as repeatable automations. A Vault keeps API keys out of the model's view, and chats can run for up to three hours unattended. The same day added an itemised Subscription Overview for MSP billing and Claude Fable 5.2 and Gemini 4 Carbon in the model catalog, a week after Spaces and the AI Gateway.
What is Pylon?
Pylon is wrapping intelligence layers around customer support and feedback.
Pylon ships weekly bundles across four pillars: Support System, Product Intelligence, Account Intelligence, and AI Agents. November introduced Product Intelligence (auto-extraction of feature requests from interactions) and Google Meet ingestion. January and February layered Salesforce/HubSpot contact sync, Linear bidirectional comments, account-notebook time filters, and dashboard drill-downs. March added event-driven task creation, customer-notification tracking on closed feature requests, reusable knowledge-base blocks, and native video. April brought bulk project actions, contact phone numbers in issues, and task/project triggers.

Hatz AI
7.5SUPPORT
Hatz 2.0 turns its chat into an agent that plans, browses and saves its work as automations.
◆ Current state
Hatz is a multi-model AI platform sold through MSPs. Hatz 2.0, released November 12, merges its Auto tiers into one Auto mode that plans each task, splits it across parallel helpers, works in websites through a controlled browser and saves finished work as repeatable automations. A Vault keeps API keys out of the model's view, and chats can run for up to three hours unattended. The same day added an itemised Subscription Overview for MSP billing and Claude Fable 5.2 and Gemini 4 Carbon in the model catalog, a week after Spaces and the AI Gateway.
◆ Where it's heading
Hatz is moving from a model picker with workflows to an agent runtime that MSPs govern. The November 6 gateway put outside coding agents under Hatz controls; Hatz 2.0 makes its own chat an agent, with approvals, credentials handling and billing visibility for the MSP layer.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to give MSP admins finer controls over agent runs, such as per-role approval policies, browser site limits and credit caps for automations.
Pylon
0.0SUPPORT
Pylon is wrapping intelligence layers around customer support and feedback.
◆ Current state
Pylon ships weekly bundles across four pillars: Support System, Product Intelligence, Account Intelligence, and AI Agents. November introduced Product Intelligence (auto-extraction of feature requests from interactions) and Google Meet ingestion. January and February layered Salesforce/HubSpot contact sync, Linear bidirectional comments, account-notebook time filters, and dashboard drill-downs. March added event-driven task creation, customer-notification tracking on closed feature requests, reusable knowledge-base blocks, and native video. April brought bulk project actions, contact phone numbers in issues, and task/project triggers.
◆ Where it's heading
Pylon is positioning as a customer-support-plus-intelligence platform that closes the loop from incoming signal to product action. Bidirectional ties to Linear, Jira, Salesforce, and HubSpot make it the connective tissue between support and the rest of the org. Expect AI Agents and trigger automation to absorb more of the manual routing work, and Account Intelligence to keep deepening its analytics surface.
◆ Prediction
The next directional move likely connects AI Agents and triggers into multi-step autonomous flows that route, escalate, and close issues. The intelligence layer is likely to add more data sources (Zoom, Gong, intercom logs) and surface predictive metrics like churn risk on accounts.
