Assembly 2.0

Assembly is building the client portal that service businesses actually deserve. Think about it—if you're an agency, consultancy, or any service company, your clients are stuck checking five different tools for invoices, tasks, files, and updates. Assembly consolidates all of that into one branded experience that lives at portal.yourbrand.com. They're launching Assembly 2.0 with portals that adapt to each client type, folders to organize your apps, scheduled automations, and yes, a desktop app because sometimes you just need to work offline like it's 1995.

The platform handles client management, project tracking, payments, and even gives developers APIs to build custom integrations. The example on their site shows a portal for "BrandMages" with invoices, contracts, tasks, forms, and a real team directory with availability schedules—so clients know exactly when their account manager is reachable. It's essentially a branded CRM meets client dashboard that makes your company look like you have your act together even if you're running on caffeine and panic.

This is Lien Chueh, Roop Reddy, Kevin Foley, Andrew Hoyt, Jen Scharien, Marlon Misra, and Finoana Fifalianarandy's build. They're based somewhere building modern client experiences and right now they're likely hunting for agencies and service businesses who are tired of piecing together Notion, QuickBooks, Slack, and email just to keep clients informed.
