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.

Semantic social listening powered by machine learning
Sonar pulls social conversations automatically and applies NLP to judge whether each piece of text reads positive, negative or neutral.
Machine learning groups unstructured mentions into themes and topic groups, so large volumes of chatter collapse into a readable set of issues.
The engine analyses meaning rather than exact keywords, picking up paraphrases, slang and context that simple keyword monitoring misses.
Topics and sentiment are organised so brands can see which conversations matter and where opinion is shifting over time.
