Addigy launches Intelligence Suite, adding real‑time AI to Apple device management
Addigy, a leading Apple device‑management platform for managed service providers and IT teams, announced the Intelligence Suite, an AI layer that runs inside its real‑time MDM console. The company says the new feature brings on‑demand Apple expertise to admins while keeping every AI‑generated action behind a human‑approved guardrail.
Key points
- Addigy introduced Intelligence Suite, an AI layer inside its real‑time MDM platform for Apple devices.
- Admins describe desired outcomes in plain language, review AI‑suggested actions, and approve them before any change runs.
- The tool processes data locally, enforces admin‑set guardrails, and claims to cut security‑risk plan creation from days to about an hour.
The suite lets administrators describe the outcome they want in plain English; the AI then drafts a script, presents the proposed change, and waits for the admin’s sign‑off before execution. According to CTO Jason Dettbarn, the approach avoids the “syntax, filter logic, report building” bottlenecks that traditionally slow Mac management. A CreativeTechs CEO reported that a security‑risk plan that normally required one to two business days was produced in about an hour using the tool. The system processes data locally, never sending customer information to external frontier models, and enforces role‑based access controls set by the organization.
Addigy also markets the suite as a way to block unapproved AI tools on Macs, accelerate reporting through generative‑AI‑driven summaries, and expose the full device‑control plane to AI agents via its MCP framework. Early users, such as an endpoint engineer at Smurfit WestRock, praised the reporting capability as a “game‑changer.”

Addigy Launches Intelligence Suite, Bringing Real-Time AI to Apple Devices With Built-In Human Controls
Delivering Industry's Only AI Layer Inside a Real-Time Apple Device Management Platform, Addigy Puts IT Admins in Control of Every Action
MIAMI, September 17, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The promises of AI are easy to make yet difficult to check and control, especially when it comes to managing Apple devices. Addigy — the leader in Apple device management for managed service providers (MSPs) and IT teams — addresses this today with the launch of Addigy Intelligence Suite. Delivering the industry's only AI layer inside a real-time MDM platform, Addigy's new solution makes Apple expertise and execution available on demand, with every action gated by IT's own guardrails and approval. This accelerates operations and strengthens security without asking admins to give up control.
"Many IT admins know what their Macs need, but too much of their management time gets lost in syntax, filter logic, report building, and check-in delays—not to mention figuring out which AI tools can be trusted on their users' devices," said Jason Dettbarn, Addigy's CTO and Founder. "With Addigy Intelligence Suite, they describe the outcome they want in plain language, review the proposed action, and approve it before anything runs. Autonomy only works inside guardrails you set—you define the boundaries, we enforce them. Unlike general-purpose AI that's bolted onto a management console or running on a platform that polls for device state, Addigy combines trusted AI with deep Apple and platform intelligence, real-time execution, and an approval gate for every action."
"Using Addigy Intelligence Suite, I was able to get to a client-facing security risk plan in an hour—something that used to take my team 1 to 2 business days. In a busy tech's world, you don't often get that kind of time back," said Tim Pearson, CEO and Founder of CreativeTechs.
Addigy Intelligence Suite simplifies Apple device management at scale:
- Helps AI Live Up to Its Efficiency Promise: AI is only as fast and accurate as the platform underneath it. Addigy's platform has executed in real time since its inception. It's the headless layer that orchestrates across IT's management tools.
- You Set the Guardrails, Addigy Enforces Them: Addigy AI runs entirely inside Addigy's own environment. Customer data is never sent to frontier models. Every action is processed and protected locally, and every AI capability ships with guardrails designed in, so it stays within the rules IT already trusts.
- Opens the Platform via MCP: Addigy MCP exposes the full device management control plane to AI agents, with admin-set guardrails on every agent action—giving teams a direct path to delegate tedious work without giving up control.
- Apple Expertise On-Demand: There's no need to memorize terminal commands for managing Apple devices. Powered by over a decade of practical Apple MDM knowledge and expertise, Addigy's AI Script Assist writes, audits, and recommends actions for the admin to decide—and follows customer's RBAC rules.
- Blocks Shadow AI: Prebuilt compliance rules are designed to help admins see, monitor, control, and block AI tools across Mac devices.
- Speeds Reporting: Generative AI reporting instantly turns a plain-English question into a polished, ready-to-share report. "This is probably the best, easiest reporting capability I have seen in a long time. It's a game-changer and is going to help me get so much more done," said Nimoy Johnson, Endpoint Engineer, Smurfit WestRock.
