AI-first customer service platform

Intercom combines live chat, bots, help center, and product tours. Their AI agent Fin can resolve common queries automatically. Modern UI but expensive per seat.

Big Picture

Ship

“Intercom's bet on AI-first customer service is ahead of Zendesk. Fin represents what support will look like.”
