Intercom

Customer service helpdesk with a built-in AI agent, Fin, for support teams handling chat, email and phone.

About Intercom

Intercom is a customer service platform that combines a helpdesk for human support teams with Fin, an AI agent. The two products share the same inbox, customer record and knowledge, so one system covers both AI and human support.

The helpdesk includes an omnichannel inbox, AI-powered ticketing and Copilot, an assistant that works alongside agents inside the inbox. Teams can also send in-context, automated messages to onboard and inform customers before they need to contact support.

Fin can be trained on existing knowledge, processes and policies, and tested with simulated customer conversations before going live. It can be deployed across phone, email, chat, Slack and other channels. Performance reporting and suggestions help teams find gaps and improve answers over time.

  • Omnichannel inbox and ticketing
  • Copilot assistance for support agents
  • Fin AI agent with training and simulation tools
  • Central Knowledge Hub and Help Center reporting

A 14-day free trial is offered, with no credit card required. Pricing details are on the vendor's website.
