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.

The AI-native helpdesk that turns Slack and Teams chats into resolved tickets
Detect and create tickets from channel threads or private bot DMs, so requests become trackable work without asking anyone to leave their chat app.
AI combines the conversation, requester history, connected knowledge and live systems data to answer questions and take actions rather than merely routing them.
Resolved conversations are turned into new or updated documentation, so the knowledge base stays current and future questions are deflected automatically.
Trigger approvals, updates and multi-step workflows across Jira, Linear, HubSpot, Salesforce, Workday, Okta, Stripe and other connected tools, plus Zapier, Make and webhooks.
