Where It Shows Up

Specific AI tools and features available in PSA/RMM platforms, with costs, capabilities, and vendor comparison for MSP decision-makers.

Introduction

AI features are now embedded across PSA, RMM, and specialized tools serving MSPs. Some add measurable value, others are rebranded automation. This section aims to compare what’s available, where it fits, and how to evaluate claims responsibly.

Example Implementation Categories

Category	Strength	Limitation	Examples
General AI Assistants	Flexible, cheap	No MSP-specific context, limited business logic	ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot (often approved due to no-training policy)
PSA-Native Features	Built into existing workflows, access to client-specific data, bi-directional sync	Vendor lock-in, limited to single PSA ecosystem	Atera, ConnectWise, Autotask, Syncro
Specialized AI Tools	Fill gaps PSA/RMM don’t cover	Fragmented ecosystem, requires integration	Mizo AI, zofiQ, Neo Agent/Cooper Copilot, Rewst, N8N, DialPad, Nextiva, Riscosity, Augmentt, Auvik

Agentic AI Explained

Agentic AI is marketed as the “next step” beyond automation. In practice, it chains multiple probabilistic decisions together. That makes it more flexible, but also more fragile.

Key Points

• Works by chaining LLM-driven tasks (interpret, act, summarize)

• Can save hours in triage and resolution

• Compounds risk if unchecked: one bad step can cascade

• Requires explicit rollback and human sign-off policies

Example failure: AI suggests a reboot script for all endpoints based on one vague ticket. Without review, this cascades into widespread disruption.

Bottom Line

MSPs now have a broad menu of AI features across PSA, RMM, and specialized tools. Real ROI is possible, but only when features are evaluated against data policies, integration depth, and oversight requirements. Agentic AI should be treated as a junior tech, useful and fast, but prone to confident mistakes without supervision.
