Assista provides an AI operating team that runs on a company’s own Claude account, allowing businesses to hire virtual specialists—such as sales, support, or operations agents—without any AI markup or metering. Users set goals in plain English, and the platform automatically connects Claude, schedules tasks, and drafts responses in the company’s voice, delivering drafts to the CEO’s inbox often within hours. The service offers over 1,000 ready‑to‑hire specialist roles and 24/7 automated execution.

Problem
Companies spend significant time on repetitive tasks such as lead qualification, ticket triage, and onboarding, requiring manual effort, custom scripting, or costly third‑party services. This reduces productivity and ties teams to opaque AI platforms that add usage markup and limit control over data and costs.
Solution
Assista offers an AI operating team that runs on a customer’s own Anthropic Claude account, eliminating any AI usage markup. CEOs define plain‑English goals, select specialist AI teammates (e.g., sales SDR, support agent, product guide), and connect the teammates to existing SaaS tools via OAuth. Each teammate operates as a role‑specific worker, executing scheduled or trigger‑based tasks, drafting replies, enriching leads, or guiding users, while preserving the company’s voice and data. The platform handles approvals for risky actions, stores drafts for human review, and integrates with over 1,000 applications, delivering continuous, 24/7 automation without requiring prompt engineering or custom code.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mid‑size businesses and fast‑growing startups that need automated, role‑specific assistance across sales, support, product onboarding, and operations, and that already use or plan to adopt Anthropic Claude.
