What is MSPbots?
MSP automation aiming at an autonomous ticket lifecycle, reported only through roadmap posts
The feed carries roadmap updates rather than release notes, and each is stored three times. The Q2 2026 roadmap reports AI Ticket Triage reaching general availability, AI Sentiment Max launching, and an App Marketplace going live, all organized around building an autonomous ticket lifecycle. The H2 2025 roadmap shows where that started: AI Ticket Triage in pilot doing automated categorization, priority assignment and routing, plus a redesigned homepage surfacing personalized insights.
What is Interact?
Interact opens its intranet to outside AI assistants and uses Claude to attack its own platform.
Interact's October feed is led by Interact MCP, which brings the intranet into AI assistants people already use, with read and write access under each person's permissions. Its security team joined Anthropic's Cyber Verification Program and is testing its own platform with Claude Mythos 5.1, and Cyber Essentials certification now covers Interact and Sideways 6. The rest of the month is buyer guides, award news and thought leadership.

MSP automation aiming at an autonomous ticket lifecycle, reported only through roadmap posts
◆ Current state
The feed carries roadmap updates rather than release notes, and each is stored three times. The Q2 2026 roadmap reports AI Ticket Triage reaching general availability, AI Sentiment Max launching, and an App Marketplace going live, all organized around building an autonomous ticket lifecycle. The H2 2025 roadmap shows where that started: AI Ticket Triage in pilot doing automated categorization, priority assignment and routing, plus a redesigned homepage surfacing personalized insights.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is clear even through the roadmap format — triage moved from pilot to general availability in roughly seven months, sentiment analysis was added on top, and the App Marketplace suggests third-party extension rather than only first-party features. Autonomous ticket lifecycle is the stated destination, with triage and routing as the first stage of it.
◆ Prediction
Following triage and sentiment, resolution-side automation is the logical next stage of the stated lifecycle, but these are roadmap posts rather than releases, so what actually ships and when is not established by the entries.
Interact
5.0COLLAB
Interact opens its intranet to outside AI assistants and uses Claude to attack its own platform.
◆ Current state
Interact's October feed is led by Interact MCP, which brings the intranet into AI assistants people already use, with read and write access under each person's permissions. Its security team joined Anthropic's Cyber Verification Program and is testing its own platform with Claude Mythos 5.1, and Cyber Essentials certification now covers Interact and Sideways 6. The rest of the month is buyer guides, award news and thought leadership.
◆ Where it's heading
The Spring Action Agent work put agents inside the intranet; MCP moves the intranet out to wherever employees already work. That raises the stakes on trust, which is why the security items matter more than they would alone: a system holding company knowledge is being opened to more clients. The company's content messaging now describes the intranet as adaptive.
◆ Prediction
Expect Conductor and MCP connections to reach more business systems, following the Workday pattern from the Spring Launch. Further security attestations are also likely as AI access expands.
