    We started in 2020 with a clear goal: give professional service businesses a better way to work with their clients. Since then, thousands of firms have used our platform to deliver a better client experience. Today we’re changing our name from Copilot to Assembly and rolling out our largest release yet — including our first step into AI Agents.

    Why We Changed Our Name

    We’re changing our name because for the next stage of our journey we want to have one that better reflects our values. Just kidding. Thanks to Microsoft Copilot, GitHub Copilot, and over ten thousand other companies called Copilot, whenever someone in our community recommends us, we’ve become impossible to find. And we’re tired of answering support messages like this.

    Why did we choose Assembly? Because building a business is a lot like assembling something. It takes the right pieces, in the right order, to create something remarkable. And the businesses we serve deserve tools that assemble seamlessly.

    Meet Assembly

    Assembly is the first AI—powered platform designed specifically for tech-enabled professional service firms — accounting firms, consulting firms, marketing agencies, law firms, and others — that want to use software to stand out. Already, thousands of firms run on Assembly, and among them are soloproneurs just getting started, established firms scaling up, and public companies like Capital One looking for an enterprise-grade solution.

    With Assembly, you can deliver a client experience that’s more polished, streamline your internal back-office operations with AI agents, and go beyond out-of-the-box features with a platform that you can build on top of.

    Assembly Lets You Build Remarkable Client Experiences

    When we started Assembly, we asked ourselves a simple question: Why was the client experience at professional service firms always so bad — fragmented across too many tools that never worked well together?

    Assembly solves that. It gives your clients a one-stop, branded portal where they can message you, complete tasks, make payments, sign contracts, upload files, view embeds, and more.Explore the client experience.

    Assembly is the AI-powered Back-office For Your Team

    With Assembly you get a powerful CRM to manage contacts and companies, internal chat and notes, and custom fields. A unified Notification Center shows you everything that’s relevant in one place. And our Automation Builder lets you automate frequent workflows, saving you time and reducing human error. Learn more about how to manage clients with Assembly's CRM.

    Today we’re also launching Assembly Assistant in beta. Assembly Assistant is an internal AI colleague that supports you with administrative tasks and some knowledge work. Now when you click on a client, the right panel is a new collaborative area where you can communicate with your team and with Assembly Assistant. Learn more about the Assembly Assistant beta.

    Assembly is a Secure Platform You Can Build On

    Assembly is designed to be extendable. You can embed apps you already use, like Calendly, Databox, and Airtable. You can connect Assembly to thousands of tools through no-code platforms like Zapier and Make. And for tech-enabled firms that want to go further, Assembly offers a comprehensive API and a developer ecosystem that makes it possible to build custom integrations and Custom Apps — whether developed internally by your team or in partnership with an Assembly Expert. Learn more about our platform.

    And because security is non-negotiable, Assembly is SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliant, built from the ground up to meet enterprise standards and trusted by firms of every size to handle sensitive client data with confidence. Review our security center.

    What’s Next

    You should start to see our new name and design language roll out across our systems. What won’t change is our commitment to helping you run your business and deliver a client experience that sets you apart. The journey from first sale to full scale is full of twists and turns, and we’re here to move with you every step of the way.
