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.
No-code AI assistants trained on your own content
Connect websites, sitemaps, Notion workspaces, Google Drive files, Zendesk help centers, Gitbooks and PDFs instead of rebuilding a knowledge base from scratch.
The assistant collects purchase intents, books calls and qualifies visitors automatically, turning support conversations into pipeline.
Visitors can ask in their own language even when the underlying knowledge base is written in another, with replies returned in the user's language.
Publish as a customizable web widget, a Slack app or an HTTP API, with guided integrations for WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace and Shopify.
