Independent research 2026

Commissioned by Serval

Two reports on how IT teams are automating internal support.

The ask

One conversation, 30 to 45 minutes. No preparation, nothing to write, and nothing to review afterwards.

The reports

What contributors get

Who is behind it

Serval commissioned this research and will publish it. The findings belong to the people interviewed. Serval builds AI-native IT service management and works with teams including Perplexity, Mercor, and Together AI.

Catalyst runs the interviews and produces the reports. Serval does not sit in on the conversations and does not decide what the reports conclude.

No part of this is a product pitch. Nobody follows up with a sales call for taking part.

Taking part

Reply on the email thread and we will find a time.

If the timing is wrong but the subject is not, say so and we will send you the reports when they are out. If you are not the right voice but you know who is, point us to them.
