GDS Technology hosts and runs it for you.

Why PSArelay

Your AI, not another dashboard

Most AI tools for MSPs give you their chatbot inside their web app. PSArelay works the other way round: it plugs Autotask into the AI your team already uses, and your data goes wherever you need it.

Built for your whole team

Every staff member, their own access

Roll PSArelay out to technicians, dispatchers, account managers and billing staff. Each person connects their own AI assistant, and PSArelay knows who's asking.

  • Works as you. "Log 30 minutes on this ticket" records the time against the person who asked.
  • Role-based permissions. Decide who can only look, who can update tickets and time, and who can touch billing and merges.
  • Approval for big changes. Financial and destructive actions stop for an explicit OK before anything happens.
  • Audit trail by person. See who asked for what, what changed, and when.

What it does

The Autotask work your team does every day, in plain English

More than 170 Autotask actions across tickets, time, companies, contacts, projects, billing and inventory, organized into the jobs MSPs actually do.

Ticket triage and updates

Find, summarize and update tickets, add notes and reassign work without opening Autotask. In Claude, tickets appear as interactive cards.

Time entry, done right

Log and check time entries in conversation, and spot missing or misfiled time before payroll and billing close.

Revenue-leakage reports

Unbilled and aged billable work, block-hour usage and overage, ticket charges and the to-bill queue, so less of your work goes uninvoiced.

Safe merges and clean-ups

Merge duplicate companies and contacts and clear placeholder or spam records in bulk, with history checks and a review table before anything changes.

Vendor billing reconciliation

Reconcile vendor purchasing, such as Pax8, against what's set up and billed in Autotask, and standardize your service catalog.

Automations around Autotask

n8n and ChatGPT workflows triggered by Autotask webhooks, with every action recorded in an audit ledger. Built by GDS on Enterprise.

Governed by design

AI inside your PSA, without the risk

Giving AI access to client records and billing takes guardrails. PSArelay has them built in, and they line up with the AI governance work GDS Technology does for clients.

  • Read-only or approve-first

    Start read-only. Turn on changes when you're ready, with a confirmation before any write.

  • Per-person permissions

    Each staff member acts as themselves, limited to what their role allows. Feature switches flip without a restart.

  • Audit trail

    Who asked for what, what changed, and when, recorded for every action.

  • Protects your API limits

    Built-in throttling and backoff keep heavy AI use from tripping Autotask's API limits.

FAQ

PSArelay questions

Which AI assistants does it work with?

Claude, ChatGPT and other assistants that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard for connecting AI to business systems. Your team uses its own AI subscriptions (billed by those providers), and we help connect them. There are no per-ticket or AI usage fees from us.

Can the AI change things in Autotask on its own?

Only if you allow it. You can run PSArelay read-only, or require a confirmation before any change. Bulk actions like merges and clean-ups always show a review first, and every action is logged.

Where do our Autotask credentials and data live?

Your PSArelay instance is hosted and secured by GDS Technology, using an Autotask API user you control and can revoke at any time. AI assistants reach Autotask only through PSArelay's gated actions, never with your credentials directly.

Is it really open source?

Yes. The full source is on GitHub under the AGPL-3.0 license, so you can run, inspect and modify it yourself for free. Hosted plans pay for GDS to run it for you: hosting, security, updates, monitoring, onboarding and support, plus the reports, clean-ups and automations work on higher plans.

Can we start self-hosted and switch to hosted later, or the other way round?

Yes. It's the same software either way. We'll help move your setup when you switch.

Can our whole team use it?

Yes. Each staff member connects their own AI assistant and works as themselves, with permissions set by role. The plan price is per MSP, so adding people doesn't add fees from us.

Are we locked into one AI?

No. PSArelay works with Claude, ChatGPT and other assistants that support MCP, and different people can use different ones. If you switch assistants later, PSArelay, your permissions and your audit trail stay the same.

Is pricing per technician?

No. Every plan is one flat monthly price per MSP (one Autotask tenant), whatever the size of your team. Plans start at $150/month, and Enterprise tops out at $500/month.

Do we need to install anything?

No servers to run. GDS hosts and updates it. Each user connects their AI assistant to your PSArelay address, and we walk your team through it.

Is PSArelay made by Kaseya?

No. PSArelay is an independent product from GDS Technology that connects to Autotask through its official API. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Kaseya.
