Autonomous AI agents for customer service, content and operations
Deploy helpdesk, content and e-commerce agents inside Zendesk, Freshdesk, Slack, Google Drive, Notion and Shopify rather than a standalone widget.
Existing documentation, macros and conversation history become the agent's knowledge, so it can answer accurately from the first day.
Agents categorise incoming tickets, draft replies from approved macros and hand off anything sensitive to a human with approval rules you set.
A blog writer agent researches and drafts posts in your brand voice, while an e-commerce agent answers product questions and handles order inquiries.
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.
