Intercom Fin

Intercom's AI agent that resolves customer chats and emails from your help content, priced per resolution and deployable on other helpdesks too.

by Intercom

What it does

Fin is Intercom’s AI agent for customer service. It answers customer questions in chat and email by drawing on a company’s help center articles, past conversations, and other approved content, and it hands the conversation to a human agent with full context when it cannot resolve the issue.

Fin started as a feature of the Intercom platform, but Intercom also sells it as an agent that works on top of other helpdesks, including Zendesk and Salesforce. Intercom is known for its per-resolution pricing model, charging only when Fin actually resolves a conversation.

It is one of the most widely deployed AI agents in the category, and Intercom publishes extensive documentation and reporting tooling around resolution quality and agent behavior controls.
