What is Fin by Intercom?
Fin is Intercom's AI customer agent. It answers customer questions from your support content and, through what Intercom calls Procedures, can handle multi-step tasks such as updating accounts, processing refunds or troubleshooting.
Fin works across chat, email, voice, social and Slack. It is built into Intercom's help desk but, according to Intercom, also runs on other help desks including Salesforce, Zendesk, Freshdesk and HubSpot. Fin uses outcome-based pricing, billed per Fin outcome, with alerts and limits to control spend; Intercom's own help desk plans (Essential, Advanced and Expert) offer a free trial.
Before launch, test Fin against real past questions, define when it must hand over to a person, and review its conversations regularly.
