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.
Interactive knowledge that makes support answers faster and self-service actually work
Build step-by-step flows that branch on user answers so customers and agents reach the exact resolution for their situation instead of reading generic articles.
A conversational bot grounded in your verified knowledge answers customer questions, while Agent Assist summarises tickets, suggests resolution paths and drafts replies.
Native connections to Zendesk, Salesforce, Freshworks and ServiceNow put guides and AI answers inside the tools agents already use.
Versioning, review flows, scheduled publishing, content health, auto-translate, reusability snippets, access rights and pageview analytics keep large libraries consistent.
