Cassidy vs Responsive

There are two primary categories for integrating AI into your business:

1. Boosting Internal Productivity - In other words, figuring out how to make your employees and workflows more efficient, so you can deliver better results faster.
2. Enhancing the Customer Experience - Exploring what you can offer on top of your existing products and services to make your customers even happier.

Focusing on internal productivity will help cut costs, while improving the customer experience will help you earn more.

Internal Productivity

In my view, it’s easier to start with internal productivity. Greater AI adoption within your team or even by yourself will lead to a substantial increase in overall productivity. The right AI strategy will turn everyone in your organization into a top performer.

Of course, figuring out the best AI strategy can be tricky. But, I think it’s important to not overthink it. Just starting to use AI tools and sharing them with your team can pave the way for in-depth AI integration across your organization. It’s crucial for everyone to have that “Aha” moment with AI.

At CassidyAI, we’re all about this mission. While we’re still slowly rolling out early access, we’ve been documenting our process publicly because we believe everyone can benefit from the thinking we’re putting into how to build features that truly speed up internal workflows.

We showcased our plugin feature that allows you to bring an AI assistant, custom-trained for your business, virtually anywhere on the internet. It’s been a game-changer for sales, customer success, and marketing teams.

The point is this: When integrating AI into your business, consider the workflows and tasks that currently exist and explore how AI could be introduced to enhance them. Never assume AI can't help--even small steps towards incorporating AI eventually become meaningful time savings.

Customer Experience

On the other hand, you can drive significant customer retention and growth by thoughtfully using AI in your products and services. This approach requires creativity, as it is not as simple as purchasing an off-the-shelf solution for internal workflow optimization.

AI-enabled features in your products and services could include personalized recommendations, an AI chatbot, or simple AI features that make it easier for people to use your product. The catch is that these features must be unique to your business.

For instance, Shopify customers struggled to optimize their stores properly, so their AI sidekick was developed to do it automatically. Another example: I recently spoke with a personal trainer who introduced an AI chatbot for fitness-related questions because clients struggled with guidance on days they weren’t seeing the trainer.

When considering AI implementation, think about the biggest pain points for your current customers. Why do people churn? Is something stopping them from using your product or service more often? What are their unmet needs?

It’s within these questions, you’ll find opportunities to enhance the customer experience using AI.

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.

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.
