Intercom
AI-first customer service platform with the Fin AI agent
About
Intercom is a customer service platform that spent 2024-2025 pivoting to AI-native, building the Fin AI agent that resolves support conversations across chat, email, WhatsApp, Instagram, and SMS. Fin reads a company's help center, PDFs, web pages, and past conversations, then answers in natural language and hands off to humans with full context when confidence is low. Intercom reports Fin now resolves over a million tickets a week, and reviewers on G2 (4.5/5, ~3,800 reviews) cite resolution rates around 60-65% for text-based support. The catch is pricing: Fin costs $0.99 per resolved conversation on top of seat plans (Essential $39/seat/mo, Advanced $99, Expert $139), so high-volume teams can see bills climb fast. Voice support was added in 2025 but is still maturing, and the platform suits chat-first SaaS teams more than omnichannel retail.
