Data Collection Software Firm FormAssembly Announces Platform Overhaul with AI Automation and MCP Support

Online data collection and workflow automation software provider FormAssembly Inc. announced a complete platform overhaul on November 9, 2026, expanding its capabilities beyond building forms to automating complex business processes using artificial intelligence. The company stated that the new platform, which took seven months to develop, combines form creation, workflow automation, integrations, and compliance management in a single no-code environment.

The update introduces two major features: conversational AI agents capable of collecting information through natural language interactions, and support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling external AI agents to interact directly with FormAssembly’s software. MCP is an open standard that allows different AI systems to share context and tool calls.

Founder and Chief Executive Cedric Savarese said users can “explain what you need in plain English to your agent, and the agent will build the entire process in a couple of minutes.” For example, a municipal government could describe an application process for obtaining a permit to hold an event in a public park, and the platform’s assistant, called Fai, would generate the necessary forms, approval workflows, and documentation requirements.

Savarese claimed the AI-assisted builder can reduce development time from days or weeks to minutes. He noted that these estimates were based on recreating existing customer workflows using the new platform internally.

Technically, FormAssembly does not develop its own models but primarily uses frontier AI models from Anthropic PBC. Savarese stated the company has zero-retention agreements with Anthropic and OpenAI Group PBC to protect customer information. The revamped platform also adds governance capabilities that evaluate workflows against predefined compliance policies before publication, flagging potential violations for human review.
