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.
Free WhatsApp click-to-chat links, QR codes and click analytics
Enter a number, optionally add a prefilled message, and get a ready-to-share wa.me link and high-resolution QR code instantly — with country formatting handled for you.
Track total clicks and unique visitors per link to see exactly which post, ad or placement is generating conversations.
Replace the ugly number with a memorable wa.link style URL that looks trustworthy on a business card, flyer or Instagram bio.
A single link routes new chats round-robin to the next available teammate, so shared sales or support lines are not carried by one person.
