What is Hatz AI?
Building an MSP-native AI platform with model routing, governance, and PSA integrations.
Hatz AI is rapidly assembling an MSP-targeted AI workspace: both major PSAs (ConnectWise Manage rebuilt May 15, Autotask added May 22) are now first-class, Auto-LLM routes each message to the appropriate model in real-time, and admin governance controls (credit limits per role, direct-download restrictions, custom-role AI permissions) keep pace with the capability expansion. The catalog of integrations crossed roughly 20 in six weeks, and the file-handling surface now covers 60+ extensions including audio and code archives.
What is Zoho Lens?
Zoho Lens stacks AR integrations and absorbs Vuforia Chalk refugees
Zoho Lens is shipping consistent, substantive product expansion — an AR-powered self-service portal in March 2026, plus Zendesk and Zoho SalesIQ integrations, a geolocation feature, and browser-based access through 2025. Alongside the releases, the team is actively courting Vuforia Chalk users displaced by that product's discontinuation.

Hatz AI

Building an MSP-native AI platform with model routing, governance, and PSA integrations.
◆ Current state
Hatz AI is rapidly assembling an MSP-targeted AI workspace: both major PSAs (ConnectWise Manage rebuilt May 15, Autotask added May 22) are now first-class, Auto-LLM routes each message to the appropriate model in real-time, and admin governance controls (credit limits per role, direct-download restrictions, custom-role AI permissions) keep pace with the capability expansion. The catalog of integrations crossed roughly 20 in six weeks, and the file-handling surface now covers 60+ extensions including audio and code archives.
◆ Where it's heading
Three threads run in parallel: (1) model abstraction — Auto-LLM with Lite/Performance/Turbo modes treats Hatz as a routing layer above OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google; (2) MSP-native integrations — PSA, monitoring (Sentry, Jam, Netdata), and support (Pylon, Intercom) tools landing several per release; (3) tenant governance — usage dashboards, download restrictions, role-based AI controls, copy-across-tenant operations. The product is positioning itself as the AI control plane MSPs deliver to their downstream customers, not a chat tool.
◆ Prediction
Expect more PSA-adjacent tooling (RMM platforms like NinjaOne or Kaseya are the obvious next targets) and deeper governance — likely audit log exports and tenant-level model allow-lists. The Auto-LLM routing layer will keep absorbing new models (it already onboarded Gemini 3.5 Flash and Opus 4.7 within days of release).
Zoho Lens

Zoho Lens stacks AR integrations and absorbs Vuforia Chalk refugees
◆ Current state
Zoho Lens is shipping consistent, substantive product expansion — an AR-powered self-service portal in March 2026, plus Zendesk and Zoho SalesIQ integrations, a geolocation feature, and browser-based access through 2025. Alongside the releases, the team is actively courting Vuforia Chalk users displaced by that product's discontinuation.
◆ Where it's heading
Lens is building out as an AR remote-assistance hub rather than a point tool: integrating into the Zoho support stack (SalesIQ) and outward into competitor stacks (Zendesk), and expanding onto new surfaces (browser, Apple Vision Pro). The Vuforia Chalk shutdown is a real demand catalyst the team is converting through both product and content.
◆ Prediction
Expect field-service tooling (work-order management, technician dispatch) layered on top of the new self-service portal, plus more ticketing-platform integrations. Spatial-computing features on Vision Pro are plausible follow-ons but the cadence there is harder to read.
