Assign-AI

I had everything wrong! Friday is my day of brutal truth. Over the past week, I chased every desperate fix and wild idea like a junkie chasing a high. Now, I'm stripping it all away to expose the raw, unfiltered reality that changed everything. For the last two weeks, I was drowning in a flood of new ideas and features for Assign-AI. Each concept felt urgent, a must-fix solution that promised to revolutionize our approach. But the more I chased, the more I lost sight of what truly mattered. I've learned that not every shiny idea is the answer, and sometimes, less is more. The truth: True innovation comes from focusing on the core, not scattering energy on every fleeting fix. I felt an insane obligation to fix every problem. From employee tracking for true timestamps to capturing every click for auto-automation and an AI-powered daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual business planning. Every feature screamed for attention from my endless calls with users. But here’s what I learned. Trying to fix everything almost broke our focus. I had to remind myself to stop chasing every shiny idea. I was on a mission to the rush of solving every problem. The result? Disaster The bottom-line. If your not hyper focused, you wont move the needle. Ditch the excess and embrace the essential. I built up a list of features that looked great on paper, but in reality, they blurred the core mission of Assign-AI. Does more really mean better? Learn to let go. My mind was on overdrive on how we are going to fix every problem. But here is what I REALLY learnt. I realized not every problem needs a solution. What if the best breakthrough comes from simply stepping back? Yes, it's possible. Zero in on what truly matters. I had to strip away the noise and focus on one key pain point. When you let go of the urge to control every outcome, real innovation happens. Personal Lessons Learned: - I learned that my constant search for problems to fix was a trap. - Some issues resolve on their own if you give them space. - I discovered that trust in life’s natural flow beats forced control. - Being present, instead of drowning in possible features is pure power. TAKEAWAY Your obsession with fixing every little thing is your biggest barrier. When you let go of the need to solve everything, you unlock game-changing breakthroughs.

Wow! What a year! I can’t believe it’s already been one year with Assign-AI. Looking back, this journey has been filled with growth, challenges, and some of the most rewarding work I’ve ever done.

Excited for what’s ahead!

Celebrating One Year with Kallen Anderson at Assign AI! A year ago, we welcomed Kaleen Anderson to the Assign-AI team, and looking back, we can confidently say that bringing her on board was one of the best decisions we’ve made. Kallen embodies what we stand for, customer-centricity, ownership, and a drive for excellence. She has played a crucial role in shaping our journey, from navigating the chaos of a fast-moving startup to ensuring our customers get the best possible experience with Assign-AI. What stands out most about Kallen is her ability to turn challenges into opportunities, whether it’s refining processes, keeping things moving forward, or simply bringing a level of calm and clarity that every startup needs. Her contributions over the past year have been invaluable, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have her as part of the team.

4 reasons I almost walked away… and 4 reasons I won’t I’m no exception to the high founder burnout. Reason #1: OpenAI just released the Operator. Ever felt your idea is overshadowed by a giant? Reason #2: The AI space is about to explode. Thousands of new players are jumping in every day. Reason #3: The startup world is tougher than I imagined. Despite all my prep, reality still hit me like a ton of bricks. Reason #4: The pace is insane, 100 MPH and counting. Blink, and you might miss the next big thing. Yes, all valid reasons to throw my hands up. But here’s why I’m not: - If Lucid can thrive with Tesla and other EVs sharing the road, then niche AI players can also carve out their space. - Overcrowding just means I need to focus on building hyper-specific agent tools that big players may overlook. - It’s harder than I thought, but I’m loving the challenge and leveling up daily. - While everyone else rushes features, I’m aiming for quality that stands the test of time. What am I actually building this week? - Making AI “thoughts” visible in our chatbot. - Offering two ways to create an agent: a single prompt or a step-by-step guide for total clarity. - Adding our first AI agent to our library. - Adding the copy, paste, analyze, hover, double-click, scroll AI tools for the chatbot’s version. - Exploring a spreadsheet-friendly workflow for multiple agents, so everything stays in one place. Over the weekend, I realized one of my agents might violate LinkedIn’s automation policy. I definitely don’t want to tread on shaky ground. So I’ll halt the LinkedIn agents for now. Dan Leeman, let’s chat about safe, compliant options. Despite the hurdles, I’m excited to keep building and learning. I’ll keep sharing both wins and failures right here. TAKAWAY There will always be a million reasons to quit. But the ones who succeed pivot, stay honest about the hard stuff, and keep pushing until the next obstacle. Are you facing your own “should I walk away?” moment? You’re not alone… but maybe it’s time to push forward instead.

Business and personal relationships have more in common than you think! When we set out to find Assign-AI’s first software partner, we weren’t just looking for a name to slap on our website. We wanted someone who shared our mission: empowering people to customize their work technology without touching a single line of code. But that wasn’t all.

So, who made the cut? We didn’t have to look far. SmartSuite a powerful database tool that empowers anyone to create tailored back-office solutions. Our founder, Sam Uhr, was a SmartSuite user long before Assign-AI existed. Back then, he noticed one key gap: SmartSuite lacked an easy way for it's small business user community to transfer data between SmartSuite and legacy software without API access. Sam being Sam, he reached out to SmartSuite’s founder Jon Darbyshire. One simple call turned into encouragement, advice, and eventually the spark that led to Assign-AI.

Meet David, a pharmacist who spends hours each day managing prescription refills, verifying insurance details, and tracking inventory levels.

The agent can automatically check for prescription refills, verify insurance details, and update inventory in real-time—saving him time and reducing the risk of errors.
