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.
Trust and Safety co-pilot for online dating platforms
Models that identify specific dating-app risk vectors such as phishing, sexual assault indicators and other abuse patterns in context, rather than matching a fixed keyword list.
Incidents are automatically sorted by assigned risk level so analysts can focus on the most urgent cases and respond to affected users sooner.
Central storage for all investigation-relevant data, cutting the dependency on other teams when a moderator needs evidence to make a decision.
Facial and image blurring plus redaction of personally identifiable information keep user identities protected during reviews.
