What is Zoom?
Zoom's recent changelog feed surfaces page scrapes and date stamps rather than substantive release content.
The recent changelog feed for Zoom is dominated by low-signal scrapes: bare "This article was updated" date stamps, navigation links, app-store badges, and a version-number table that lists 7.0.2 across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and visionOS. From these entries alone, the only confident read is that Zoom shipped 7.0.1 in late March and 7.0.2 in early April across the full platform matrix. Actual feature-level changes for the period are not visible in the scraped content.
What is Hatz AI?
Hatz AI launched Activate for MSP AI deployments and made phone agents self-service in back-to-back releases
Hatz AI is shipping at a high rate across three threads: model additions (Claude Fable 5.1, Gemini 3.8 Flash, GLM 5.3, DeepSeek variants), phone agent capabilities (pause/duplicate/reassign/silence controls/live look-ups), and MSP-specific tooling (Hatz Activate for Shadow AI scanning and AI rollouts, Hatz Learn moved in-house, PSA sync improvements). The product is positioning as the AI-as-a-service layer for MSPs managing client AI adoption.

Zoom's recent changelog feed surfaces page scrapes and date stamps rather than substantive release content.
◆ Current state
The recent changelog feed for Zoom is dominated by low-signal scrapes: bare "This article was updated" date stamps, navigation links, app-store badges, and a version-number table that lists 7.0.2 across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and visionOS. From these entries alone, the only confident read is that Zoom shipped 7.0.1 in late March and 7.0.2 in early April across the full platform matrix. Actual feature-level changes for the period are not visible in the scraped content.
◆ Where it's heading
Trajectory cannot be confidently established from the scraped entries — the source pages appear to be release-notes index pages whose substantive content is not being captured. Zoom's underlying cadence remains regular (one minor version per ~2 weeks), but the editorial direction would require pulling notes from the per-version pages rather than the index.
◆ Prediction
Likely next move at this cadence is a 7.0.3 patch release in the same window, but specific feature direction cannot be predicted from the available entries.

Hatz AI launched Activate for MSP AI deployments and made phone agents self-service in back-to-back releases
◆ Current state
Hatz AI is shipping at a high rate across three threads: model additions (Claude Fable 5.1, Gemini 3.8 Flash, GLM 5.3, DeepSeek variants), phone agent capabilities (pause/duplicate/reassign/silence controls/live look-ups), and MSP-specific tooling (Hatz Activate for Shadow AI scanning and AI rollouts, Hatz Learn moved in-house, PSA sync improvements). The product is positioning as the AI-as-a-service layer for MSPs managing client AI adoption.
◆ Where it's heading
Hatz Activate is the strategic move: a Shadow AI scanning and customer activation workflow built into the admin dashboard turns Hatz from an AI chat platform into a managed AI deployment product for MSPs. Phone agents are becoming a first-class product with their own life cycle — self-service requests, drafts, silence controls, per-minute billing — suggesting Hatz is building toward a full voice AI service layer for MSP clients.
◆ Prediction
Phone agent features will reach parity with the core chat/workflow surface within two or three releases — approval workflows, templates, and call analytics are the remaining gaps — while Activate will get deeper PSA integrations as MSPs begin using it for active client management rather than just prospecting.
