MSP Crossfire
Client AI:The Next Managed Service?
Clients are moving fast with AI, from shadow tools to vibe-coded apps. In this first episode of MSP Crossfire, industry leaders debate what role MSPs should play in managing it.
Client AI
Clients are moving fast with AI. Are MSPs ready to lead?
Employees are sharing sensitive data in prompts, automating workflows, and even vibe-coding apps, quicker than policies can keep up.
That raises the question: Is client AI something you should monitor, manage, and support? Or, is it too fast-moving to turn into a standardized service?
In this session, we’ll explore:
- Where client AI use is already creating risk, and whose job it is to catch it
- How different MSPs are supporting client AI adoption, and who’s got it right
- Which tools and strategies claim to bring structure to client AI, and whether they hold up
- Whether AI management is a real service opportunity, and what it actually takes to build it
