Cassidy vs. ChatGPT Enterprise: Contextual AI Automation vs. Standalone Chatbot

Customer support teams face countless challenges every day: handling high ticket volumes, answering tough questions, and maintaining meaningful interactions across platforms. It’s a high-pressure job that requires efficiency, adaptability, and tools that work as hard as they do.

With all the stress and mental energy it takes to juggle these challenges, AI can be a powerful partner for support teams. Not a replacement, but a trusted resource that works alongside you and your team. By handling the heavy lifting, AI allows support teams to focus on what they do best: building connections and delivering great customer experiences.

In this blog, we’ll show how Cassidy equips support teams to tackle key enablement tasks — streamlining processes, building impactful resources, and delivering exceptional customer experiences.

Clear Out Tickets With On-Demand Answers to Questions

High ticket volumes are every support team’s nightmare. Maybe it’s a bug that’s disrupting users, or an unexpected outage that sends panic through your customer base.

Whatever the cause, tickets pile up fast, and your team is left trying to triage the chaos. Everyone’s scrambling to prioritize the most pressing issues, but with so many demands coming in at once, it’s easy for important requests to fall through the cracks.

You don't want to get to a point where customers get frustrated, agents feel burned out, and the pressure only mounts.

In moments like these, teams do their best: manually assigning tickets, answering repetitive questions, and leaning on internal experts for technical issues. It works for a while. But when volumes spike, manual processes slow things down, agents lose time searching for answers, and the team struggles to keep up.

This is where AI can make all the difference.

Cassidy takes the pressure off by drafting accurate, context-rich replies to customer emails and support tickets automatically. Powered by your knowledge base, it ensures every response is not only timely but also reliable. From answering common questions to tackling more complex issues, Cassidy equips your team with the tools to stay ahead of mounting tickets, delivering thoughtful solutions that keep customers happy and operations running smoothly.

How else can Cassidy help you clear out tickets

• Triage smarter, not harder: Prioritize tickets based on urgency, sentiment, and complexity to keep critical issues front and center.
• Support agents in real-Time: Provide instant, accurate answers from your documentation to help resolve technical issues faster.
• Chrome extension to help with responses: Use Cassidy’s AI-powered assistant directly in your browser to draft replies and access critical information without ever switching tabs.

Ticket surges are inevitable, but they don’t have to overwhelm your team. By combining human expertise with AI-powered support, Cassidy ensures that even the busiest times are manageable, allowing your team to stay calm, focused, and ready to deliver the quality service your customers deserve.

Compile All Information From Your Support Center

No matter how experienced your support agents are, they’re bound to face tricky questions that require digging through resources for answers. A customer might ask about an edge-case bug, a rarely used feature, or a complex integration. When agents can’t find the information they need quickly, the delay adds frustration — for both them and the customer.

Traditionally, teams handle this by leaning on engineers or internal experts for help.

While this can work in a pinch, it’s not scalable.

Agents lose valuable time chasing down answers, customers are left waiting longer, and the overall efficiency of your support operation takes a hit.

This is where Cassidy steps in to bridge the gap. Instead of leaving agents to fend for themselves or rely on others, Cassidy pulls real-time, accurate information from your technical documentation, knowledge base, and other resources.

Whether it’s troubleshooting steps or product-specific guidance, Cassidy ensures agents have the answers they need—instantly. By turning scattered information into actionable insights, Cassidy empowers your team to resolve even the toughest customer inquiries with confidence and speed.

Ways Cassidy can help centralize your knowledge base.

• Provide Instant Access to Documentation: Cassidy draws from your technical resources in real-time, giving agents the information they need without delays.
• Create a Centralized Knowledge Hub: Consolidate scattered resources into a single, AI-accessible system so your team can find answers faster.

This means your team spends less time searching for answers and more time focusing on meaningful customer interactions. And as Cassidy learns from your existing processes, it continues to improve, providing even better support over time.

With Cassidy, your support team is no longer bogged down by the hunt for information. Instead, they’re equipped with the tools and insights they need to work smarter, handle complex issues with ease, and deliver an exceptional experience every time.

Creating Personalized Communication That Sound Like Your CS Team

Customers expect more than just fast responses—they want interactions that feel personal and relevant. Whether it’s a follow-up to a support inquiry, an email announcing a new feature, or even outreach on LinkedIn, personalization is what turns a basic interaction into a memorable experience.

Cassidy helps bridge this gap by equipping teams with the tools to craft personalized communications that feel human—without requiring hours of manual effort. From pulling key details like customer history and preferences to generating dynamic, context-aware messaging, Cassidy ensures every interaction feels authentic and on point.

Imagine announcing a feature update to your customers. Instead of sending a one-size-fits-all email, Cassidy can help you tailor messaging based on each customer’s previous interactions, product usage, or company size.

The result? Emails that resonate with your audience and make them feel seen. Or consider LinkedIn outreach—Cassidy can suggest personalized introductions that align with a client’s professional background and needs, ensuring your outreach stands out in a crowded inbox.

How Cassidy Supports Personalized Customer Interactions:

• Dynamic Messaging for Any Channel: Generate tailored emails, chat responses, or outreach messages based on customer data.
• Comprehensive Customer Insights: Pull from past interactions, product usage, and preferences to inform your communication strategy.
• Consistency Across Platforms: Ensure your team’s voice and tone stay aligned, whether reaching out via email, LinkedIn, or chat.

Personalization doesn’t have to feel forced—or time-consuming. With Cassidy’s support, your team can create meaningful, tailored interactions at every stage of the customer journey, building stronger relationships and driving deeper engagement, one message at a time.

Endless Use-Cases for CS 

Customer support is about more than solving problems — it’s about fostering trust, delivering value, and enabling teams to thrive. Cassidy helps support teams achieve this by streamlining workflows, enhancing customer interactions, and providing tools to create impactful resources.

Whether it’s crafting personalized emails, generating FAQs, or pulling actionable insights from existing data, Cassidy empowers teams to focus on what matters most.

At Cassidy, we're at the forefront of this evolution with contextual automation—a method that doesn't just look to the future but actively shapes the present. By leveraging this technology, sales teams today must embrace AI not only to keep pace but to lead in an already transformed market.

Our platform ensures your sales strategy is not just reactive but proactive, turning every sales challenge into an opportunity. Let's delve into how AI is already making a difference, in the sales world, and how tools like Cassidy can help you every step of the way.

Prepare and Research Meeting Invitees Before Sales Calls

Walking into a sales call unprepared is no longer an option. Cassidy’s AI-powered workflows ensure your team is equipped with detailed, actionable insights about meeting invitees before every call. This workflow does the heavy lifting for you by gathering data like company overviews, recent company news, and detailed information about the invitees.

Cassidy’s AI even dives into LinkedIn profiles to provide a comprehensive look at the organization and its stakeholders. All this information is compiled into a shareable document that can be accessed by your entire team, ensuring everyone is aligned and prepared. Plus, it integrates seamlessly with your calendar tools, so you have everything ready to go before the meeting starts.

For example, before a call, Cassidy can provide a summary of the prospect’s recent achievements or challenges, helping your team tailor the conversation and demonstrate value from the first interaction. It’s an all-in-one preparation tool that sets your sales calls up for success.

Deal Tracking Efficiency

Sales teams often struggle with the time-consuming task of sifting through vast amounts of data to find relevant customer information. That's where Cassidy's workflows come in, allowing you to pull up all the details on a customer or a deal in just seconds, thanks to AI.

This feature enables you and your team to instantly search through records, helping to get right to the point, personalize your approach, and keep the sales process moving smoothly. It's like having a super-efficient assistant dedicated to making your life easier.

For example, before calling a client, you can quickly search for their name in the system. Within seconds, you'll have access to their purchase history, recent interactions, and any notes from previous meetings, allowing you to tailor your conversation effectively.

Find Key Decision-Makers to Multithread Sales Deals

Finding the right decision-makers can be the difference between closing a deal and letting it slip away. Cassidy’s simplifies the process by identifying key stakeholders and influencers within a target organization.

Instead of manually researching or guessing who holds decision-making power, Cassidy analyzes CRM data, email communications, and external sources to provide you with a clear map of key players. This enables your team to craft targeted messages that resonate with each stakeholder, streamlining the sales process.

For example, if a deal involves multiple departments, Cassidy highlights which contacts to prioritize and how to address their specific concerns. This insight empowers your team to build stronger connections and accelerate deals without unnecessary delays.

Automatically Enrich New Leads

Finding and understanding new leads can be a daunting task, often requiring extensive research to gather all the necessary details. With Cassidy's AI, this process is automated, allowing you and your team to instantly enrich new leads with relevant information.

By integrating with various data sources, Cassidy's workflows automatically add valuable insights like job titles, company details, and contact information to your CRM. This feature ensures that when you engage with a new lead, you're equipped with a comprehensive profile, enabling more personalized and effective outreach.

For instance, when a new lead enters your system, instead of manually searching for their background, the AI enriches their profile, providing you with the context to tailor your communication, thereby improving conversion rates and enhancing your sales strategy's efficiency.

Streamline Team Responses with Verified Answers

Consistency and accuracy are crucial when responding to client questions, especially during RFP processes. Cassidy’s Answer Hub ensures that your team always delivers approved, verified responses to common queries, saving time and boosting credibility.

This feature centralizes all your organization’s approved answers in one place, making it easy for reps to find and share the right information instantly. No more scrambling to verify details or waiting on approvals—Cassidy’s AI ensures that everyone on your team is aligned.

So if you're ever in a situation where a client requests specific technical details or compliance information, reps can quickly search the Answer Hub to pull up the correct response, ensuring accuracy and consistency in their communication. This not only speeds up the sales process but also builds trust with clients, showing that your team is organized and dependable.

Automatically Transcribe, Save, and Query Meeting Notes

After a sales meeting, capturing and organizing notes can be time-consuming, often leading to missed insights or follow-up opportunities. Cassidy's AI simplifies this by automatically transcribing, saving, and enabling you to query meeting notes.

This feature ensures that all discussions, decisions, and action items from your meetings are recorded without manual effort. You and your team can then easily search through these notes for specific details or follow-ups, enhancing your ability to recall important points and personalize future interactions.

For example, post-meeting, the AI transcribes the conversation, saving it in your system where you can later ask for information like "What was the client's concern about pricing?" or "What follow-up was promised?" This automation not only saves time but also ensures that no detail is lost, making your sales process more organized and responsive.

Create Personalized Cold Emails that Stand Out

Cold emails are only effective when they feel anything but cold. Cassidy’s AI leverages LinkedIn insights, CRM data, and other sources to create hyper-personalized emails that capture attention and increase response rates.

The workflow analyzes key details about your prospect, like their role, company updates, and recent achievements, and crafts tailored outreach messages that feel authentic. For example, instead of sending a generic “just checking in” email, Cassidy generates a message that highlights the recipient’s recent LinkedIn activity or a relevant company milestone, positioning your sales team as informed and relatable.

Even better, Cassidy’s AI ensures these personalized emails are ready to send with minimal effort, saving your team valuable time while maintaining a high-touch approach. With smarter, data-driven outreach, you can turn cold leads into engaged prospects.

Personalize Sales Meeting Follow-Up Emails

The follow-up after a sales meeting can make or break the relationship. Cassidy’s AI ensures every follow-up email feels thoughtful, relevant, and timely, keeping the momentum going with your prospects.

This workflow uses meeting notes, CRM data, and insights from the conversation to draft tailored emails that highlight key discussion points, address objections, and outline next steps. For example, if pricing was a concern during the meeting, Cassidy’s AI suggests a follow-up email that includes a breakdown of value-add features or a link to relevant case studies.

The tool also automates the process, saving your sales team time while maintaining a high level of personalization. With smarter follow-ups, Cassidy helps your team stay top-of-mind and move deals forward faster.

Auto-Completing Security Questionnaires

Navigating through security questionnaires can be a significant hurdle in finalizing sales, often requiring extensive time and expertise to complete accurately. With Cassidy's AI, this process is streamlined, enabling you and your team to auto-complete these questionnaires with ease.

By integrating with your existing security documents, knowledge base, and other resources, Cassidy's workflows automatically fill in the answers, ensuring compliance and accuracy. This feature turns what could be a laborious task into a swift operation, allowing you to focus on closing deals rather than paperwork.

For example, when a new security questionnaire is required, instead of manually searching for responses, the AI quickly pulls the necessary information, completing the form in seconds. This efficiency not only speeds up the sales process but also reduces the risk of errors, making your sales cycle smoother and more secure.

Give Sales Team the Ability to Answer Technical Questions

Handling technical questions doesn’t have to be exclusive to engineers or IT specialists. Cassidy’s AI bridges the gap by enabling non-technical support and sales reps to confidently answer complex technical inquiries.

This feature pulls from your company’s existing knowledge base, integrating seamlessly with tools like Notion, Jira, Confluence, and internal wikis to provide accurate, approved responses in seconds. For example, when a prospect asks a detailed question about product integration or security protocols, Cassidy’s AI suggests the right answer instantly, saving time and preventing delays.

This workflow also ensures responses are aligned with RFP standards and company-approved language, reducing the risk of errors or miscommunication. By equipping your team with these tools, Cassidy enables everyone to contribute to technical discussions without requiring deep expertise, improving responsiveness and fostering trust with prospects.

AI-Embedded Automation vs. API-Driven Workflows

Automation has evolved beyond simple “if this, then that” workflows. Cassidy is an AI-native automation platform built for teams that need automation with human-like judgment, not just predefined app connectors. By embedding AI at every level, Cassidy can understand context, make decisions, and even interact with users as an assistant.

Make.com, on the other hand, is a traditional visual workflow builder that treats AI as an external add-on. Users can connect AI services via API modules, but AI isn’t an intrinsic part of every workflow. While Make.com excels at connecting apps in complex scenarios, it lacks built-in AI capabilities like memory or autonomous decision-making.

For enterprise decision-makers, this difference is critical. Below, we compare Cassidy and Make.com across key areas.

‍

‍

Embedded Intelligence vs. "Add-On" AI

Cassidy has AI built into every workflow, making it seamless to analyze data, generate content, and take intelligent actions. Workflows can process unstructured information, reference a knowledge base, and make decisions without needing manual API calls. AI is deeply embedded, meaning users don’t have to configure prompts or external services for each step.

Make.com treats AI as an optional add-on. To use AI, you must manually insert an API call (e.g., OpenAI) into a workflow, manage API keys, and configure prompts. There’s no native memory or knowledge retention, so workflows don’t improve over time. AI in Make is an external tool, not a core part of automation.

AI Assistants – Interactive AI vs. Static Workflows

Cassidy offers real-time AI assistants that integrate into Slack, Teams, and Chrome. These assistants can answer questions, generate responses, and automate tasks based on context. A sales assistant can draft personalized outreach, while an IT assistant can troubleshoot employee requests—all within chat.

Make.com does not have AI assistants. It is focused on background workflows and lacks an interface for employees to interact with AI in real-time. While you could trigger workflows from Slack, Make provides no built-in AI agent that understands context or remembers past interactions.

Enterprise Scalability – Built for Large Organizations

Cassidy is enterprise-ready with SOC 2 Type II compliance, SSO, granular permissions, and access controls. AI can be restricted by role, ensuring security across departments. Its infrastructure is designed for scalability and compliance at an enterprise level. Visit our trust center here.

Make.com, while growing in enterprise features, lacks SOC 2 Type II certification and has simpler role-based permissions. It is well-suited for team-based automation but requires additional governance setup for large-scale deployments.

AI-Driven Flexibility vs. Predefined Workflows

Cassidy lets teams build AI-powered workflows that adapt dynamically. AI can process data, make decisions, and adjust workflows on the fly. Enterprises can use different AI models (GPT-4, Claude) and fine-tune outputs, creating intelligent automations that improve over time.

Make.com is a powerful visual workflow builder but lacks AI adaptability. Workflows require predefined logic, meaning users must manually configure every step. AI cannot influence decisions without external scripting, making automation more rigid.

Use Cases – Where Cassidy Delivers More Value

Cassidy enables AI-powered automation that goes beyond simple workflows, making it ideal for:

• RFP Automation: AI reads documents, finds relevant answers, and drafts responses using past knowledge.
• Sales & Marketing Copilots: Assistants research prospects, summarize insights, and generate personalized outreach.
• Customer Support AI: AI triages support tickets, drafts responses, and escalates urgent issues in real time.
• HR & Compliance Automation: AI reviews policies, answers employee questions, and ensures regulatory compliance.

Make.com is best for structured app integrations, such as syncing CRM records, sending notifications, or processing simple data flows. AI is an enhancement, not a core function.

Choosing the Right Automation Platform for Your Enterprise

Cassidy is designed for enterprises that need AI-powered workflows and assistants that evolve with their business. Its AI is deeply embedded, making automation more intelligent, adaptable, and scalable.

Make.com is an excellent tool for building structured workflows, but its AI capabilities are limited to external API calls. For enterprises looking to automate complex, AI-driven processes, Cassidy is the more future-proof investment.
