The Panel's Take

Intercom combines live chat, bots, help center, and product tours. Their AI agent Fin can resolve common queries automatically. Modern UI but expensive per seat.

The reviews

Excellent JavaScript SDK and API. Product tours and in-app messaging are great for developer-facing products.

Helpful?

Expensive but their AI agent Fin actually works well. If it deflects enough tickets, it pays for itself.

Helpful?

Intercom's bet on AI-first customer service is ahead of Zendesk. Fin represents what support will look like.
