What is Desk365?
Asset management is the real build; the feed is mostly an interview series.
Desk365's feed mixes two things. The product half is a steady asset-management build-out: Microsoft Intune device sync with field mapping, asset activity tracking, more flexible exports and labels, expanded APIs, plus a Phase 2 August release adding printable knowledge-base articles, JSON data for section-based dropdowns, reorganised ticket and time-entry categories and quick-start timers. The other half is Humans of Support, an interview series running roughly weekly, alongside comparison and metrics content.
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.

Desk365
5.0SUPPORT
Asset management is the real build; the feed is mostly an interview series.
◆ Current state
Desk365's feed mixes two things. The product half is a steady asset-management build-out: Microsoft Intune device sync with field mapping, asset activity tracking, more flexible exports and labels, expanded APIs, plus a Phase 2 August release adding printable knowledge-base articles, JSON data for section-based dropdowns, reorganised ticket and time-entry categories and quick-start timers. The other half is Humans of Support, an interview series running roughly weekly, alongside comparison and metrics content.
◆ Where it's heading
The shipping work points at IT service management rather than general customer support — Intune sync, asset activity history and asset exports are ITSM concerns, and they are arriving faster than anything on the ticketing side. Desk365 is positioning against MSP and internal-IT helpdesks while its written content argues that AI is not a substitute for judgement, which is a deliberately conservative stance for the category.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next product release to deepen asset management further — likely software or licence inventory on top of the device sync already in place — and to keep arriving as a batched monthly or phase digest rather than individual feature notes.
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.
