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.
What is Hatz AI?
Hatz turns its MSP AI platform into an agent-composition and phone-automation system.
Hatz AI is an MSP-oriented AI workspace: a governed model selector plus agents, workflows, integrations, and AI phone agents, sold through managed-service-provider tenancy. Recent releases push hard on two fronts: making phone agents a real front-line call system (routing, warm transfer, caller memory, business hours, post-call workflows) and making agents composable inside workflows. Model breadth keeps expanding, with Sonnet 5 and seven new LLMs added to the selector.

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.
Hatz AI

Hatz turns its MSP AI platform into an agent-composition and phone-automation system.
◆ Current state
Hatz AI is an MSP-oriented AI workspace: a governed model selector plus agents, workflows, integrations, and AI phone agents, sold through managed-service-provider tenancy. Recent releases push hard on two fronts: making phone agents a real front-line call system (routing, warm transfer, caller memory, business hours, post-call workflows) and making agents composable inside workflows. Model breadth keeps expanding, with Sonnet 5 and seven new LLMs added to the selector.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is from a chat-with-models tool toward an automation platform where saved agents are reusable building blocks and phone agents replace human triage. Governance is a throughline: role-based model, integration, and tool controls, tenant templates, and usage budgets all deepen the MSP multi-tenant control plane. Model selection is increasingly abstracted behind Auto-LLM.
◆ Prediction
Expect further phone-agent autonomy and more agent-as-step composition across workflows, with continued MSP governance controls and ongoing additions to the model roster.
