Splashtop launched Agentic Packr on October 20, 2026, to automate the preparation and testing of third-party application updates for Microsoft Intune. The product targets IT teams and managed service providers running Windows environments, while leaving administrators in control of which packages are published for deployment.
Key Takeaways
- The product supports more than 1,000 third-party applications, plus custom and internally developed software.
- AI analyzes installers, while scripted automation builds and tests packages and separate controls scan for threats.
- Windows availability starts at launch; the first 100 endpoints are free, with macOS support planned.

Agentic Packr targets the preparation bottleneck
An application vendor releasing a patch does not mean that update is immediately ready for Intune deployment. IT teams still need to prepare and test the package, work that Splashtop says often depends on a small number of specialists.
Splashtop’s Agentic Packr launch materials describe a tool designed to automate that preparation stage rather than replace Intune. The practical distinction is that it addresses the work between obtaining an installer and having a tested package ready for administrators to deploy.
Maxime Guillemin, Splashtop’s product manager and Microsoft community lead, said many Intune administrators are generalists who also handle devices, identity, security and help-desk duties. The company is positioning the product as a way to reduce their reliance on specialist packaging skills.

How packaging and security checks work
The AI component analyzes each installer to determine installation and removal parameters and detection rules. Scripted automation then builds and tests the package. If testing fails, the AI adjusts and retries; a rule-based packaging engine provides a fallback if the AI cannot produce a working package.
Security checks operate separately from the AI workflow. Splashtop says installers are scanned against threat intelligence and packaging fails when a threat is detected. These are product-design claims, not evidence of a measured reduction in breaches or deployment times.
Administrators select which applications reach their Intune tenant and how they are assigned. Agentic Packr then creates the Win32 applications, Intune assignments and Microsoft Entra groups. Reusable templates also support branded employee update prompts and deferral options.
Availability and subscription terms
The launch offers a free entry tier alongside paid subscriptions. Splashtop’s official product materials list paid pricing starting at $3 per endpoint annually, with annual or monthly billing available.
The company has not supplied a macOS release date. Its announcement also does not provide independently verified benchmarks for packaging speed, installation success rates or customer cost savings.
Conclusion
Agentic Packr adds an automated preparation layer ahead of Intune deployment, while retaining administrator approval and separate security checks. Splashtop’s next announced showcase is Microsoft Ignite on November 17–20, 2026.
