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 qualitative research repository that turns customer interviews into a roadmap you can defend
Upload video, audio, or notes for each customer call and get a stored recording, full transcript, and structured takeaways in one searchable repository.
Define your own output types and a plain-English prompt per series, so each call surfaces exactly the pain points, opportunities, quotes, or feature requests you care about.
Ask questions about your interviews, themes, and personas in natural language and get answers drawn from your own research with the underlying sources cited.
Insights cluster into evidence-linked themes, while dynamic personas and segments group the people behind each finding so needs can be compared group by group.
