What is Hatz AI?
Hatz 2.0 turns its chat into an agent that plans, browses and saves its work as automations.
Hatz is a multi-model AI platform sold through MSPs. Hatz 2.0, released November 12, merges its Auto tiers into one Auto mode that plans each task, splits it across parallel helpers, works in websites through a controlled browser and saves finished work as repeatable automations. A Vault keeps API keys out of the model's view, and chats can run for up to three hours unattended. The same day added an itemised Subscription Overview for MSP billing and Claude Fable 5.2 and Gemini 4 Carbon in the model catalog, a week after Spaces and the AI Gateway.
What is Zoho Lens?
Zoho Lens puts a knowledge bot inside live AR support sessions.
Zoho Lens is an AR remote-assistance tool whose feed moves slowly but ships substance. June's addition, Zia Answer Bot, brings an organization's knowledge into live sessions, so a technician can answer an unexpected question without leaving the call. It follows the March AR self-service portal and earlier Zendesk and SalesIQ integrations.
Hatz AI vs Zoho Lens: editorial side-by-side
Hatz AI
7.5SUPPORT
Hatz 2.0 turns its chat into an agent that plans, browses and saves its work as automations.
◆ Current state
Hatz is a multi-model AI platform sold through MSPs. Hatz 2.0, released November 12, merges its Auto tiers into one Auto mode that plans each task, splits it across parallel helpers, works in websites through a controlled browser and saves finished work as repeatable automations. A Vault keeps API keys out of the model's view, and chats can run for up to three hours unattended. The same day added an itemised Subscription Overview for MSP billing and Claude Fable 5.2 and Gemini 4 Carbon in the model catalog, a week after Spaces and the AI Gateway.
◆ Where it's heading
Hatz is moving from a model picker with workflows to an agent runtime that MSPs govern. The November 6 gateway put outside coding agents under Hatz controls; Hatz 2.0 makes its own chat an agent, with approvals, credentials handling and billing visibility for the MSP layer.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to give MSP admins finer controls over agent runs, such as per-role approval policies, browser site limits and credit caps for automations.
Zoho Lens
0.0SUPPORT
Zoho Lens puts a knowledge bot inside live AR support sessions.
◆ Current state
Zoho Lens is an AR remote-assistance tool whose feed moves slowly but ships substance. June's addition, Zia Answer Bot, brings an organization's knowledge into live sessions, so a technician can answer an unexpected question without leaving the call. It follows the March AR self-service portal and earlier Zendesk and SalesIQ integrations.
◆ Where it's heading
Lens is adding automation around the human session. The self-service portal handles cases before a technician joins, and the answer bot supports the technician during one. The team has also been courting Vuforia Chalk users left by that product's discontinuation.
◆ Prediction
Expect more AI help inside sessions, since Zia is now present there. The feed's slow pace makes timing hard to judge, with only two product entries in 2026.
