Assembly
Ranked in Legal Client Portal Software·Free plan·paid from $29/mo
About
Assembly combines an AI app builder with a CRM and branded client experience for authenticated client-facing apps and internal tools. Users describe an app in plain language, review a proposed plan, publish it, and refine it through conversation. More than 30 templates cover workflows such as document collection, project tracking, proposals, and client support. Apps can connect to third-party services through authentication or an API key, and an MCP connector links the workspace with AI tools including ChatGPT and Claude for analysis and workspace actions. Client authentication, roles, permissions, and data scoping are managed by the platform rather than generated by AI. Assembly says it is SOC 2 Type II certified, stores customer data in the United States, and encrypts it in transit with TLS and at rest with AES-256. It says workspace and client data are not used to train AI models. Free is free; Starter is 29.00 USD per month, billed annually, with $49 billed monthly. The platform is not suited to public-facing websites, public directories, or consumer apps.
Who it is for
Assembly suits teams building authenticated client experiences or internal tools, especially for request, document, project, proposal, or support workflows. It is not a fit for public websites, directories, or consumer apps.
