Introducing Assembled's support orchestration suite — uniting workforce intelligence with AI strategy

Support teams everywhere face the same AI challenge: lots of promise, mixed results. While AI agents can automate 50%+ of tickets, most teams deploy automation without understanding what works or how it impacts operations. A recent KPMG report shared that only 31% of leaders anticipate being able to evaluate ROI of generative AI initiatives within six months, and none report achieving positive ROI yet.

The real challenge isn't deployment — it's orchestration.

At Assembled, we've always believed that great customer support comes from having the right people in the right place at the right time. As AI has transformed the support landscape, we've learned that the best outcomes happen when AI and humans work in perfect balance.

That's why we're excited to announce our support orchestration suite, the first platform that connects AI automation directly to workforce management. Finally, support leaders will be able to capture ROI by intelligently balancing their AI strategy with staffing decisions, while still delivering superior customer experiences.

The modern orchestration challenge

Modern support operations are more complex than ever — you're orchestrating AI agents, in-house teams, BPO partners, and hybrid workflows across multiple channels. Each has different strengths, costs, and performance characteristics. Without unified visibility and coordination, you're making critical decisions in the dark.

After working with hundreds of customers managing thousands of agents, we understand this complexity. Lesley Ong from Flexcar noted: "Having workforce management and AI support under one roof was a major differentiator. It's not just about having agents handle contacts quicker — it's about orchestrating the entire operation."

What we built: the three pillars of support orchestration

Increase AI adoption with data-driven automation recommendations

Stop guessing which workflows to automate. Assembled analyzes your data to pinpoint exactly which types of issues AI can handle, which need the human touch, and where knowledge gaps are preventing incremental automation opportunities:

• Automation opportunity scoring based on your case history to see which case types have high automation potential versus those requiring human oversight
• Knowledge gap analysis pinpointing exactly what documentation could unlock additional automation opportunities
• Insights that provide the data you need to evaluate automation opportunities and estimate potential ROI

Optimize staffing with intelligent workforce orchestration

This is where the connection between AI and workforce management really shines. Beyond measuring performance, Assembled actively helps you optimize your entire blended operation:

• Real-time staffing optimization that distributes agents across skills, queues, and channels based on actual AI coverage

• Staffing adjustment recommendations that incorporate AI performance into your workforce planning
• Scenario modeling to forecast how different automation levels impact your long-term staffing needs and costs

Jake Alster, Sr. Manager Product Support at Patreon, and his team rely on this approach daily: "What makes support orchestration work is that it treats AI and workforce management as one challenge, not two. We’re solving real problems like, ‘How do we use AI when queues are running hot?’ and ‘How do we rebalance when AI’s volume impact shifts day to day?’ Having a platform that can answer those questions with live data has changed how we staff, how we prioritize, and ultimately how we deliver for creators and fans.”

Delight customers with seamless AI-human collaboration

We’ve all been burned in the past by chatbots and automation that are set loose and don’t live up to the hype, but that no longer has to be the case. Assembled helps you deliver the best possible customer experience through intelligent orchestration:

• Dynamic handoff logic that adjusts in real-time based on agent capacity and queue demand. When your team is swamped, AI focuses on containment; when agents are available, handoffs happen more quickly

• Seamless experiences where customers receive consistent, high-quality support regardless of whether AI or human agents handle their cases
• Complete visibility with audit trails showing exactly how cases are handled across your entire operation, including which AI workflows were activated, how cases were resolved, and when handoffs occurred

Assembled platform customers are seeing the light

Companies using Assembled's unified platform have seen dramatic results. Flexcar continuously achieves 85% automation rates while maintaining high customer satisfaction, with agent productivity doubling through AI Copilot and unified workforce management. Amazon aggregator Thrasio achieved $1.8 million in savings and a 10% boost in CSAT through smarter orchestration and increased automation — automating 53% of all customer interactions across their 190 brands. DailyPay has unlocked over $1 million in annual productivity gains with 9,600 hours saved per month through optimized staffing and AI automation.

As Gershwin Exeter, Chief Experience Officer at Thrasio, puts it: "Assembled is the only company that blends these functions in a single platform. I can make a business decision — do I want to temporarily hire an extra 50 people for the 8-day Prime Day spike? Having Assembled WFM and AI agents gives me so much more agility and means I don't have to go through that headache."

Graduating beyond automation to true orchestration

This isn't about replacing human agents with AI. It's about creating the perfect balance where:

• AI handles what it does best — routine inquiries, quick resolutions, 24/7 availability
• Humans focus on what they do best — complex problems, emotional support, nuanced judgment
• Your workforce planning accounts for both, optimizing costs while maintaining excellent customer experiences

Support orchestration gives you decisive clarity on where AI creates real value, real-time insights to confidently adjust staffing, and continuous optimization of your entire blended workforce.
