Overview

Intercom reinvented itself around AI-first support: its Fin agent resolves a meaningful share of conversations before humans get involved, on top of the polished messenger, help center and product tours it was known for. It suits SaaS companies that treat support as part of the product experience. Pricing is the recurring objection — per-seat costs plus usage-based AI resolution fees make bills hard to predict at volume.
