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. Most entries are model additions — Claude Opus 5, Kimi K3, GLM 5.2 Fast, Gemini 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite, Grok 4.5 — bundled with platform work: AutoTool v2 for more reliable automatic tool selection, a rebuilt phone agent setup flow with post-call summary emails, credit usage reporting, and public artifact sharing. The newest release, Hatz Activate, is a different kind of thing: a rollout console inside the admin dashboard with a new Sales User role.

What is Zendesk?

Zendesk's feed is a run of monthly digest stubs — including the same month twice.

Every entry in this window is a 'What's new in Zendesk' monthly pointer covering support, messaging, AI and analytics, with no feature detail in the body. November 2025 appears twice, and the crawled dates cluster in May 2026 rather than tracking the months the digests describe.

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. Most entries are model additions — Claude Opus 5, Kimi K3, GLM 5.2 Fast, Gemini 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite, Grok 4.5 — bundled with platform work: AutoTool v2 for more reliable automatic tool selection, a rebuilt phone agent setup flow with post-call summary emails, credit usage reporting, and public artifact sharing. The newest release, Hatz Activate, is a different kind of thing: a rollout console inside the admin dashboard with a new Sales User role.

◆ Where it's heading

Two layers are being built at once. The lower one is a model-agnostic assistant platform that absorbs every new frontier model within days of release, which is table stakes for an aggregator and explains the cadence. The upper one is the partner layer, and that is where the direction is changing — Hatz is now productizing how an MSP finds, pitches, and expands AI inside its own customer base, complete with a Shadow AI scan to generate the reason for the conversation.

◆ Prediction

Expect the partner layer to keep thickening around measurement — showing an MSP which of its clients are adopting, stalling, or over-consuming credits — since Activate creates the rollout motion but nothing in these entries closes the loop on how it is performing.

Zendesk's feed is a run of monthly digest stubs — including the same month twice.

◆ Current state

Every entry in this window is a 'What's new in Zendesk' monthly pointer covering support, messaging, AI and analytics, with no feature detail in the body. November 2025 appears twice, and the crawled dates cluster in May 2026 rather than tracking the months the digests describe.

◆ Where it's heading

Nothing about product direction can be read from these entries — they are index pages, not release notes. The real feature stream sits behind the links, which means Zendesk's actual pace and priorities are not visible in this feed as it is being captured.

◆ Prediction

The digest cadence will continue monthly, so meaningful signal here depends on the crawler reaching the linked release content rather than the announcement stubs.
