Jimmy Hatzell is back on Tate Talks. Jimmy is the founder of Hatz AI, an AI company that helps MSPs build an AI-as-a-service business. He was in Skout Cybersecurity's early team, stayed through its acquisition by Barracuda, and has since worked with CyberQP.
Last time Jimmy was on, Hatz AI was an early-stage idea. Now it's a full company. Chris and Jimmy cover:
- Why Jimmy is betting on MSPs to close the AI gap for small and medium-sized businesses, and why it feels like the early days of cybersecurity
- The "security, spend and scope" framework, and why an AI policy of "no one's allowed to use AI" isn't a real policy
- How an AI code review tool ran up a $5,000 bill in 24 hours
- Why the MSP owner, not a new hire, should start the AI practice with the first two or three clients
- Why AI is a "show, don't tell" technology, and how fast it's changing month to month
- What's new at Hatz AI: importing customers from your PSA, AI agents that research each client, shadow AI scans, and ready-made decks and one-pagers for first conversations
- How Jimmy uses AI at home, AI in education, and why he's optimistic about AI in medicine
- Life in New York City and his weekend runs in Central Park with his daughter
