What is Hatz AI?
Hatz sells through MSPs, and its roadmap has started to serve the partner more than the end user
Most of Hatz's window is model-selector maintenance — Claude Opus 5, Kimi K3, GLM 5.2 Fast, DeepSeek V4 Flash, the Gemini 3.x line — plus a steady buildout of the phone agent, which has gained pausing, duplication, reassignment, drafts, silence tolerance, business hours, and caller memory. Against that routine, Hatz Activate stands apart: a rollout console built for the managed service providers who resell the platform.
What is Issuetrak?
Issuetrak hardens for serious enterprise deployment — HA support, Azure hosting, off-web-folder attachments.
The visible window is a coherent enterprise-deployment push: high-availability deployment is now supported, Azure joins the hosting-environment list, attachments can live on UNC or local paths outside the web folder, API v2 has new endpoints, Magic Sign-In session length is admin-configurable up to 30 days, and Sys Admins can block risky file types across Windows/Mac/Linux. Smaller UX moves include attachment-count and billing-line indicators on issues and bulk entity import.

Hatz AI

Hatz sells through MSPs, and its roadmap has started to serve the partner more than the end user
◆ Current state
Most of Hatz's window is model-selector maintenance — Claude Opus 5, Kimi K3, GLM 5.2 Fast, DeepSeek V4 Flash, the Gemini 3.x line — plus a steady buildout of the phone agent, which has gained pausing, duplication, reassignment, drafts, silence tolerance, business hours, and caller memory. Against that routine, Hatz Activate stands apart: a rollout console built for the managed service providers who resell the platform.
◆ Where it's heading
Two arcs run in parallel. The phone agent is being hardened into a product an MSP can deploy repeatedly across client sites — duplicate it onto a new number, reassign it to a different tenant, cap its minutes — while Activate supplies the partner with the shadow-AI scan and enablement material that starts the sales conversation. Model additions continue but carry no direction; they are table stakes restated every few weeks.
◆ Prediction
Expect more tenant- and partner-scoped administration, since renaming tenants and invoicing over the API both landed this window and point at MSPs managing many clients programmatically. The phone agent's usage-based pricing suggests metering and limits will keep expanding ahead of any new end-user capability.
Issuetrak
5.0SUPPORT
Issuetrak hardens for serious enterprise deployment — HA support, Azure hosting, off-web-folder attachments.
◆ Current state
The visible window is a coherent enterprise-deployment push: high-availability deployment is now supported, Azure joins the hosting-environment list, attachments can live on UNC or local paths outside the web folder, API v2 has new endpoints, Magic Sign-In session length is admin-configurable up to 30 days, and Sys Admins can block risky file types across Windows/Mac/Linux. Smaller UX moves include attachment-count and billing-line indicators on issues and bulk entity import.
◆ Where it's heading
Issuetrak is repositioning itself from a small/mid-market self-hosted issue tracker into something deployable inside large IT estates. The combination of HA, Azure, off-web-folder attachments, and API v2 expansion is exactly the deployment-shape work that a procurement team would gate-keep on. Nothing in the feed points to AI features yet — the bet is on owning the regulated/on-prem buyer who can't or won't move to cloud-only ITSM.
◆ Prediction
Expect AWS hosting support (mirror of the Azure work), more API v2 surface, and probably an SSO/IdP hardening pass to round out the enterprise-deployment story. AI surfaces — agent-assist for ticketing, summarization — are a plausible 2026/2027 add but absent from current signals.
