Overview
Fin is an AI customer service agent built by Intercom. It answers customer questions from a company's help content and other knowledge sources, and it can run multi-step Procedures such as updating accounts, processing refunds or troubleshooting. It reaches business systems through APIs, Data Connectors and MCP. Fin works on chat, email, voice, Slack and social channels in dozens of languages. Teams can test changes with simulations and regression tests before they go live, and an Insights and QA layer reports trends and recommends improvements. Fin runs natively in Intercom's helpdesk and can also sit on top of Zendesk, Salesforce, HubSpot or Freshdesk. Intercom says it averages a 76% resolution rate across more than 12,000 customers. Pricing is based on outcomes. Each resolution, procedure handoff, disqualification or self-serve routing costs $0.99, and each sales qualification costs $9.99. On a third-party helpdesk there is a minimum of 50 outcomes per month. Inside Intercom, Fin adds a fee of at least $19 per helpdesk seat per month. Paid extras include a Pro add-on from $100 per month and a Copilot add-on for Salesforce at $35 per user per month. Fin Voice is priced on request, and a 14-day free trial is available. Fin suits mid-market and enterprise support teams with large ticket volumes and well-maintained help content. Its main drawback is cost predictability. Because spend rises with every resolved conversation and there is no published cap, reviewers report surprise bills during traffic spikes. Fin's answers also depend on the quality of the knowledge base it draws from.
