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 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 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.

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.
