Spiceworks
Spiceworks covers the Microsoft 365 outage from the help desk's side.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Chatway and Infobip — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Chatway adds a Ticket Center, moving from live chat toward a full helpdesk.
Chatway is a live-chat and AI support inbox spanning WhatsApp, email, social channels and a hosted chat page. The new Ticket Center lets teams create tickets, link conversations to them and set status, priority, category and assignee, with internal notes and filters. Recent weeks added routing and load balancing, n8n and GA4 integrations, and message reactions.
A CPaaS rebuilding around AI agents that act, not just channels that deliver
Infobip publishes quarterly roll-ups, and the feed stores each quarter twice — once as a bare label, once as the summary paragraph. Across Q3 2025 to Q1 2026 the through-line is consistent: AgentOS unifying the communication stack, AI agents that take action rather than reply, MCP servers connecting models to real channels, and AI voice work under Vocalize, against continued WhatsApp, RCS and CDP investment.

Releases land about weekly and each one fills a gap between a chat widget and a helpdesk: routing in early November, ticketing now. The direction is a small-team support desk that covers chat, email and messaging without a second tool.
Expect ticket-level features next, such as SLAs, ticket automations or reporting, built on the routing and Automations already shipped.
Infobip publishes quarterly roll-ups, and the feed stores each quarter twice — once as a bare label, once as the summary paragraph. Across Q3 2025 to Q1 2026 the through-line is consistent: AgentOS unifying the communication stack, AI agents that take action rather than reply, MCP servers connecting models to real channels, and AI voice work under Vocalize, against continued WhatsApp, RCS and CDP investment.
The company is repositioning from delivering messages to running autonomous customer interactions on top of them. Channels are becoming the substrate; the product being sold is the agent layer above. MCP servers matter most here — they make Infobip's channel reach callable by models a customer already runs, rather than requiring Infobip's own agent builder.
Expect the next quarterly to lead with AgentOS depth — orchestration, handoff and measurement across agents — since the channel and MCP groundwork it needs has now shipped over three consecutive quarters.
