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 knowledge base that gives installers and service desks instant answers, with sources
Answers drawn from roughly 25,000 manuals spanning more than 85 brands, covering boilers, heat pumps, air conditioning, ventilation, charging points, solar panels and inverters.
Look up error codes, check parameter and settings values, and identify the exact part number needed, instead of digging through portal PDFs.
Every response carries the original technical source and page reference, so technicians can verify the advice before acting on it.
Manuel indexes past work orders, internal documents, technician tips and previously solved faults alongside manufacturer data.
