Intercom

AI-first customer service with Fin, an autonomous resolution agent.

Intercom is an AI-first customer service platform centered on Fin, an AI agent capable of autonomously resolving customer support issues, paired with a complete customer service suite including a shared inbox, knowledge base, and workflow automation tools. Intercom has evolved from its origins as a customer messaging platform into a comprehensive AI-driven support solution, with Fin handling a significant share of inbound customer inquiries without human agent involvement while still providing the full toolset support teams need for issues that require human handling. The platform serves businesses from SMB to large enterprise, with over 25,000 businesses using the platform and notable customers including Amazon, Atlassian, and Shopify. Intercom differentiates through the maturity and integration of its AI agent within a complete support platform, rather than offering AI resolution as a standalone bolt-on to a separate ticketing system.
