What happens when AI meets the chaos of real-world customer support?

In this episode of Eye on AI, we sit down with Ryan Wang, co-founder and CEO of Assembled, to unpack how AI is transforming the future of customer service, without replacing humans.

Ryan reveals how Assembled went from a workforce scheduling tool to a full-stack AI support platform used by companies like Stripe, Robinhood, and Honeylove.

You'll learn how conversational AI agents are handling up to 75% of support inquiries, why voice is the next big frontier, and how AI copilots are helping human agents become 15% more productive.

But this isn't just hype. Ryan shares the hard economic truths behind automation—why humans aren't going away, how companies are navigating global workforce optimization, and why hybrid AI + human systems are here to stay.

This episode gives you a front-row seat into how the smartest companies are rethinking support at scale.
