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.
Pay-per-resolution AI agents for ecommerce customer service
Agents make governed changes in Shopify, Recharge, Gorgias and Stripe — cancelling orders, processing returns, pausing subscriptions and issuing refunds — instead of only drafting advice.
Every decision runs through your policy engine rather than a probabilistic guess, so the agent behaves predictably on edge cases and edge-case outliers escalate cleanly.
You are billed per resolution: a verified state change attributable to the AI. Hand-offs, abandoned conversations and AI mistakes are free.
Each action is logged, with one-touch handoff carrying full context to a person when confidence is low or policy requires it.
