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.
A steady SEO blog on SMS basics, with the occasional ecommerce integration walkthrough.
Textmagic's feed is a marketing blog rather than a changelog. It alternates between definitional content on SMS, MMS and RCS, feedback-request templates, and platform-specific setup guides for Shopify and now WooCommerce. Regulatory coverage appears when it affects senders, as with the ACMA Sender ID rules post in July. Nothing in the window announces a product change.

The product is positioning as the AI-as-a-service layer for MSPs managing client AI adoption.
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.
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.

Regulatory coverage appears when it affects senders, as with the ACMA Sender ID rules post in July. Nothing in the window announces a product change.
The ecommerce walkthroughs are the most product-adjacent thread here - Shopify in May, WooCommerce now - suggesting Textmagic sees order-notification automation on storefront platforms as its clearest use case and is building search coverage around it one platform at a time. The rest is top-of-funnel material aimed at buyers who do not yet know what an SMS API is for.
Expect the platform-guide series to continue onto further storefront or CRM integrations, and further compliance explainers as regional sender rules change; product releases would need a different feed to be visible.
