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 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.

◆ 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.

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.
