Cassidy vs. ChatGPT Enterprise

Index

In this article, we'll explore the key aspects that differentiate Cassidy from ChatGPT Enterprise, focusing on Cassidy's models, core features, security, support, and more to understand its advantages for implementing AI into your organization.

AI Models and Flexibility

Cassidy supports multiple AI models, including OpenAI's GPT-4o & GPT-4, Google Gemini, and Anthropic Claude. This approach offers a broader range of capabilities and a higher level of reliability depending on the use-case. For instance, we’ve found that Claude is the best for content writing, while GPT-4o is the best for internal Q&A. Unlike ChatGPT, which relies on OpenAI's models alone, Cassidy provides a more versatile AI experience.

The important part about being model agnostic is that when newer and better models are released, they will get added to Cassidy automatically. There’s no fear of purchasing and investing in an AI model that will quickly become outdated.

Knowledge Base

ChatGPT Enterprise, similar to other Large Language Models (LLMs), faces the inherent challenge of potentially generating misinformation or 'hallucinations'. A key limitation in this context is the model's inability to provide source citations for its generated content.

More specifically, ChatGPT Enterprise doesn’t support the ability to directly integrate with and store files in a centralized Knowledge Base. As of the latest update, you can add Google Drive and Microsoft Sharepoint files via the “chat” feature, but there’s no way to integrate or store them (and have it live sync when changes are made in your Google Drive, SharePoint, etc.). This makes Cassidy more ideal for use cases that require robust internal knowledge management and searching across thousands of files- unlike ChatGPT which is only ideal for one-off uploading of files.

Cassidy's Knowledge Base securely connects with over 100 tools and updates in real-time, prioritizing privacy. This comprehensive knowledge management system empowers Cassidy's AI capabilities with a rich context for generating accurate and relevant responses. Whenever it generates a source, it cites its sources so you can assure the accuracy of all your information.

AI Assistants

Cassidy's AI Assistants, powered by the Knowledge Base, perform specific tasks such as drafting replies to customer emails and assisting internal HR operations while maintaining contextual consistency across teams.

While ChatGPT Enterprise has GPTs that function similarly to Assistants, there are a few key reasons that Cassidy’s Assistants perform better:

  1. The ability to add context via your Knowledge Base allows for much higher accuracy compared to solely having detailed roles.
  2. The ability to easily share Assistants across your entire team for consistency (e.g. customer responses, RFP builders, blog post creation, etc.).
  3. Beyond Chat, you can take your assistants into multi-step workflows for greater creativity (more on this in the next section).

Multi-step Workflows

While ChatGPT focuses strictly on chats, Cassidy allows you to build and run multi-step workflows without the need for back and forth chatting. This feature is ideal for automating specific processes that you run in a similar way every time - it’s more effective to set it up once and just have to run it versus always having to chat back and forth.

With workflows, we can integrate with tools that ChatGPT for Enterprise can’t. For example, via Workflows, you can integrate with Zendesk and automate customer support. You can plug into Slack and easily deploy Slackbots to answer employee questions. We integrate with Zapier so you can plug into 6,000+ other apps and use Cassidy as the “AI Glue” to scrape the internet, craft customized content, and search your Knowledge Base - all with actual context on your business.

Our workflows allow you to bulk run as well - this is great for automating processes that require multiple iterative runs rather than a single run. Good examples: Responding to an RFP that has questions in hundreds of rows, uploading a sales lead list, and automatically generating dozens of custom cold emails, etc.

Integrations

Cassidy integrates with key business tools like Google Drive, SharePoint, Notion, Slack, Zapier, and much more. There is also a Webhook for incoming data and an API (both GET and POST) which allow you to securely integrate data from practically anywhere. This connectivity allows for seamless integration of AI Assistants. With Cassidy, you get access to thousands of integrations to trigger actions (e.g., drafting emails, sending Slack messages, responding to tickets, creating contacts, publishing blog posts) that are not possible with ChatGPT Enterprise.

Security and Data Privacy

Cassidy prioritizes data security with enterprise-grade protocols, ensuring user data safety. Both are SOC2 compliant and follow the industries top practices for security and privacy.

Support and Onboarding Process

Unlike ChatGPT for Enterprise, Cassidy believes in onboarding all of its Enterprise teams and providing ongoing support. From setting up your integrations to setting up complex workflows with your team, our goal is to continue unlocking new use-cases that make your team more productive.

More specifically, with your workspace, your team gets access to:

  1. Your own Dedicated Account Manager to help your team build AI assistants and workflows customized to your use cases.
  2. Team training sessions to train specific functional teams (sales, marketing, customer support, etc.) on how to best use Cassidy.
  3. Weekly Office Hours to help get questions answered live on calls.
  4. Slack channel with the Cassidy team to answer questions quickly or create requests for new integrations.

Because we can provide so much support & onboarding, Cassidy actually enables your team to effectively roll out AI, rather than just being another software tool in the mix.

The Two Paths to Integrating AI in your Business

The Two Paths to Integrating AI in your Business

AI models

There are two primary categories for integrating AI into your business:

  1. Boosting Internal Productivity - In other words, figuring out how to make your employees and workflows more efficient, so you can deliver better results faster.
  2. Enhancing the Customer Experience - Exploring what you can offer on top of your existing products and services to make your customers even happier.

Focusing on internal productivity will help cut costs, while improving the customer experience will help you earn more.

Internal Productivity

In my view, it’s easier to start with internal productivity. Greater AI adoption within your team or even by yourself will lead to a substantial increase in overall productivity. The right AI strategy will turn everyone in your organization into a top performer.

Of course, figuring out the best AI strategy can be tricky. But, I think it’s important to not overthink it. Just starting to use AI tools and sharing them with your team can pave the way for in-depth AI integration across your organization. It’s crucial for everyone to have that “Aha” moment with AI.

At CassidyAI, we’re all about this mission. While we’re still slowly rolling out early access, we’ve been documenting our process publicly because we believe everyone can benefit from the thinking we’re putting into how to build features that truly speed up internal workflows.

We showcased our plugin feature that allows you to bring an AI assistant, custom-trained for your business, virtually anywhere on the internet. It’s been a game-changer for sales, customer success, and marketing teams.

(Check out the demo here. You can also signup for the Cassidy waitlist here)

The point is this: When integrating AI into your business, consider the workflows and tasks that currently exist and explore how AI could be introduced to enhance them. Never assume AI can't help--even small steps towards incorporating AI eventually become meaningful time savings.

Customer Experience

On the other hand, you can drive significant customer retention and growth by thoughtfully using AI in your products and services. This approach requires creativity, as it is not as simple as purchasing an off-the-shelf solution for internal workflow optimization.

AI-enabled features in your products and services could include personalized recommendations, an AI chatbot, or simple AI features that make it easier for people to use your product. The catch is that these features must be unique to your business.

For instance, Shopify customers struggled to optimize their stores properly, so their AI sidekick was developed to do it automatically. Another example: I recently spoke with a personal trainer who introduced an AI chatbot for fitness-related questions because clients struggled with guidance on days they weren’t seeing the trainer.

When considering AI implementation, think about the biggest pain points for your current customers. Why do people churn? Is something stopping them from using your product or service more often? What are their unmet needs?

It’s within these questions, you’ll find opportunities to enhance the customer experience using AI.

With Cassidy’s Research Agent, you get real-time, continuous access to the web until it finds the precise answers you need, delivering up-to-date, accurate information quickly and effortlessly.

Whether you’re after business insights or competitive data to fuel your growth strategy, this tool ensures you get the exact information you’re looking for — no manual research required. 

Unlike tools like ChatGPT, which handle individual queries, Cassidy’s solution is designed for repeatable, in-depth research. It continuously gathers, processes, and aggregates live web data, making it far more powerful for automating complex tasks that drive business decisions.

If you’ve been spending hours on research or relying on tools that fall short, it’s time to save both time and money with this powerful solution. 

Ready to see how it can transform your workflow? Let’s dive in

Simplifying research with limitless reach

Research Agent scours the internet to retrieve real-time data tailored to your needs. Whether you’re conducting in-depth analysis or verifying key information, it eliminates manual effort and helps you make faster, more informed decisions.

At its core, Research Agent combines custom queries, autonomous web scraping, data analysis, and customizable output options. Here’s how it works:

  • Custom Instructions: You define exactly what data you're looking for—whether it’s competitive insights, verifying a company’s online presence, or gathering the latest news. This gives you complete control over the research process.
  • Autonomous Web Scraping: The tool automatically scans public online sources like websites and databases, saving you hours of manual searches. It can’t log into private accounts but uses public-facing data to gather insights. For example, you could input a company domain, and Research Agent would analyze accessible websites and compile a list of competitors for you.
  • Data Processing and Confidence: After collecting the data, it’s analyzed and presented with confidence scores, detailed reasoning, and a step-by-step breakdown of how the results were gathered. You’ll be able to trust the data and understand exactly how it was sourced.
  • Customizable Output: The results are delivered in a format that fits seamlessly into your workflow, allowing you to quickly act on the insights you’ve gathered. Whether you're generating reports, conducting competitive analysis, or validating information, the output is flexible and designed to meet your specific needs.

As Research Agent continues to evolve, new templates and features will be added, enhancing its research capabilities and allowing you to tackle even more complex tasks.

For more details, check out this overview video: 

Our pre-existing templates can already help you work magic 🪄

We've created a range of pre-built templates available to simplify common research tasks, helping you get started right away.

These templates handle tasks such as:

  • Gathering Company and Competitor Information
  • Analyzing Company ICP and Positioning
  • Finding Company's Social Media Profiles
  • Identifying Person Names from Work Email Addresses
  • Locating Company Executives and Founders
  • Searching for Company Competitors
  • Verifying Domain Status
  • Finding Company Customers
  • Getting Company 10-K Reports

These templates allow you to quickly gather relevant data without having to build workflows from scratch. Whether you’re searching for key contacts or analyzing competitors, the templates are designed to make your job easier.

But the real advantage comes from customization. While pre-built templates offer convenience, you can design your own workflows tailored to your specific needs. Whether you're automating a series of unique tasks or gathering insights for a highly specialized project, you can create workflows that match your exact requirements.

By designing custom templates, you not only save time but also open the door to automating complex tasks. This flexibility allows you to streamline operations, make more informed decisions, and focus on using the data to fuel business growth.

Applying Research Agent's insights for your business

The data gathered by Research Agent can be used across different areas of your business to make smarter, more strategic decisions.

  • For Sales: Detailed insights on potential customers, including their company background and key contacts, allow you to tailor your outreach for maximum impact.
  • For Competitive Analysis: Having access to competitor data in real-time enables you to quickly identify market trends, analyze your competitors’ strategies, and adjust your own.
  • For Lead Generation: By automating research, you can quickly build lists of high-quality contacts and leads, giving your team more time to focus on outreach.
  • For Market Research: Gain access to industry trends and customer preferences to make strategic business decisions faster, putting you ahead of the competition.

Here's an example of how you can conduct industry research: 

As many departments in your organization are likely spending significant time or money on research tools, we aim to simplify that—while offering you the most accurate, current insights available from across the web.

Plus, exporting this data is easy.

With integrations like OneDrive and Word, exporting your data is seamless, allowing you to put research into immediate use. Some integrations work across both Knowledge Base and workflows, such as Slack, making it easy to store data and send notifications where they’re most useful. No matter where your data is headed, outputs are formatted to fit your exact needs.

You know I love TikTok, but it doesn’t matter which platform you choose. TikTok, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, whatever. The steps are simple.

  1. Learn about AI
  2. Use it in your industry
  3. Share online how you’re doing that.
