How we use AI
- Assembly’s AI Reporting & Insights analyzes recognition and engagement outcomes using generative AI. Admins and managers can simply ask natural language questions and receive instant, personalized answers about their team’s participation, company trends, and key themes. Our friendly and helpful assistant, DoraAI, will also spot trends for you and suggest meaningful visualizations in charts, graphs, and tables. For example, the distribution of recognition given and received across employees, departments, and teams, interaction levels across office locations, or involvement over time in company engagement and community initiatives.
Assembly’s AI-powered writing assistant helps employees craft authentic and impactful recognition posts with ease. Whether you’re recognizing a peer for collaboration, leadership, or going above and beyond, our assistant suggests thoughtful phrases, relevant tags, and appropriate company values to include — all in real time. Users can start typing in natural language or choose from guided prompts, while the assistant enhances tone, clarity, and intent to make each recognition more meaningful. The result? More participation, higher quality posts, and a culture of appreciation that feels genuine and consistent.
Assembly's AI offerings can save leaders time, accelerate access to meaningful insights, and offer powerful tools to help improve your employee experience and supercharge your company's recognition and engagement initiatives. Our customers’ information is never used in the training of AI models, and we follow a strict privacy and retention policy — your data is your data.
