What is Hiver?
Gmail-based support tooling wiring internal docs into its AI and unifying search across channels
Hiver's April releases center on grounding its AI in a company's own material. Confluence pages, Google Docs and Google Sheets can be added as knowledge sources, and Ask AI can query an uploaded Sheet directly — answering questions like top customers by revenue without manual analysis. Alongside that, Omnichannel Search spans email, chat and Slack with unified results and channel attribution, and automations gained a trigger for conversations moved into a shared inbox. Each release appears twice in the feed.
What is Hatz AI?
Hatz adds every frontier model within days, and just dropped the license gate on its Phone Agent
Hatz runs two tracks. One is model breadth: Kimi K3, GLM 5.2 Fast, Claude Opus 5, Gemini 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite, Grok 4.5, GPT-5.6 and Fable 5 all reached the model selector within weeks of release, across chats, apps, agents and workflows. The other is the MSP-facing product — a Phone Agent that gained caller memory, business hours, call-length limits and a redesigned setup flow, plus credit usage reporting, workshop content and team management. AutoTool v2 improves how reliably agents pick and recover tools mid-conversation.

Hiver
0.0SUPPORT
Gmail-based support tooling wiring internal docs into its AI and unifying search across channels
◆ Current state
Hiver's April releases center on grounding its AI in a company's own material. Confluence pages, Google Docs and Google Sheets can be added as knowledge sources, and Ask AI can query an uploaded Sheet directly — answering questions like top customers by revenue without manual analysis. Alongside that, Omnichannel Search spans email, chat and Slack with unified results and channel attribution, and automations gained a trigger for conversations moved into a shared inbox. Each release appears twice in the feed.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is extending past the shared-inbox job into being the place a support agent finds any answer. Knowledge sources make the AI useful on internal SOPs rather than generic replies; omnichannel search makes prior context findable regardless of where the conversation happened. Both reduce the reasons an agent leaves Gmail, which is the whole premise Hiver sells on.
◆ Prediction
Expect more knowledge source connectors on the pattern set by Drive and Confluence, since the Sheets query capability shows the ingestion path already handles structured as well as prose content.
Hatz AI
6.3SUPPORT
Hatz adds every frontier model within days, and just dropped the license gate on its Phone Agent
◆ Current state
Hatz runs two tracks. One is model breadth: Kimi K3, GLM 5.2 Fast, Claude Opus 5, Gemini 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite, Grok 4.5, GPT-5.6 and Fable 5 all reached the model selector within weeks of release, across chats, apps, agents and workflows. The other is the MSP-facing product — a Phone Agent that gained caller memory, business hours, call-length limits and a redesigned setup flow, plus credit usage reporting, workshop content and team management. AutoTool v2 improves how reliably agents pick and recover tools mid-conversation.
◆ Where it's heading
The model-aggregation track is a treadmill Hatz appears committed to running — being current is the feature, and each addition is integration work rather than a strategic choice. The real product effort is concentrated in the Phone Agent and the MSP layer around it, and replacing the license requirement with usage-based pricing points at getting far more MSPs to try it. AutoTool defaulting to on in new chats fits the same pattern: remove the setup a customer has to think about.
◆ Prediction
Expect model additions to continue at this pace with little strategic weight attached, and the Phone Agent to keep absorbing the roadmap now that a license no longer gates it. The credit usage reporting suggests per-tenant cost visibility is the next MSP concern being addressed.
