AI-first customer service platform with a native AI agent for every conversation
A support-trained AI agent that resolves customer conversations across chat, email, phone and Slack, averaging around 76% resolution according to Intercom's own benchmark data.
Bring chat, email, social and messaging channels into one workspace so agents see every conversation with full customer context.
Track customer issues, back-office work and widespread tracker problems so nothing falls through the cracks and customers stay informed.
Manage and optimize the content that powers Fin, Copilot and your Help Center, with reporting on how each article performs across touchpoints.
AI support agent plus helpdesk built for ecommerce brands
Frontier-model AI resolves tickets that span several tools and steps, such as holding a shipment, saving a subscription and updating billing systems, rather than only replying with text.
Email, chat, SMS, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and phone all land in a single shared inbox, and the AI answers on each channel, including voice calls.
An implementation manager moves your data, builds integrations, writes your SOPs and tests the setup with your team, so you are not left to configure automation alone.
Each brand or store gets its own AI tone, rules and reporting inside one workspace, keeping multi-brand support consistent and on-brand.
