Why teams choose Assist over Zendesk AI

Purpose-built for omnichannel support: Assembled is the expert in support operations with our background in workforce management, building omnichannel solutions for brands like Stripe, Robinhood, and Hubspot. Zendesk AI wasn't built with all live and async channels in mind.‍
Fast implementation and intuitive UI: Assembled works closely with your team to make implementation a breeze. Zendesk AI leaves teams to self-serve with complicated documentation and a clunky user experience.
Transparency and control: Granular configuration options give you full control over how and when AI steps in. Whether you’re on-ramping your AI gradually or deploying it selectively for specific workflows, Assist operates on your terms. Zendesk AI has limited pre-built options, leaving customers with less control over how and when AI is deployed.

With our growing business and the emergence of new AI technology, we saw a unique opportunity to increase agent autonomy and decrease escalations.

Samara Bekkering
Customer Experience Supervisor

When I started using Assist, I thought “Oh, my gosh! This is incredible!” Assist speeds up so much of my work and saves me a lot of headache, especially when I'm on live chats or calls. Assist can work on getting me an answer while I’m helping the customer with something else.
