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.
24/7 AI receptionists plus trained human agents for calls, chat, and intake
AI handles routine answering and intake at low cost, while trained human agents step in for complex, high-value, or requested conversations.
Intake flows are built per practice area or service type so the right qualifying questions are asked for each caller and matter.
Consultations are scheduled while the caller is still on the line rather than through a slow call-back loop, which raises booking rates.
Transcripts, summaries, intake fields, and action items are pushed to your CRM and team inboxes automatically after every interaction.
