    While Fin is an awesome investment, the setup and tuning of responses to meet brand alignment and delivery have taken some time. If you prioritize not just resolution rate and accuracy, but style and delivery, it's a bigger lift. However, for the vast majority of businesses, the step and its impact on resource management are a worthy investment.

    Provide Support Live Chat is a very user friendly tool. It allows my Customer Service Team to perform their daily duties and easily access live chats when needed. It's really great because we can ask for contact information so we can research questions if needed and then reply back in a timely manner. Our customers and potential customers can always have access to a live person.

    Pros
    Intercom
    • Answer easy questions based off of the knowledgebase I provided
    • It's decent with redirecting customers who aren't satisfied to a human agent (me)
    • I like how it quotes the article that it is using to the customer, I'm not sure how often they're actually clicking on that article, but it's nice that the option is there

    Cons
    Intercom
    • Customizing Fin by Intercom's escalation paths could be easier (ex. if there are some inquiries we don't want passed to the human team)
    • Reporting on conversations handled to completion by Fin by Intercom (not just those that are marked as "resolved")
    • It would be helpful to be able to indicate to Fin by Intercom when an answer is wrong, or train it on things that it shouldn't do (not only what it should do)

    • Does not allow us to flag a particular 'consumer' as a scammer.

    We have been and will be continuing our journey with Intercom and nothing too concerning has happened that I have experienced or heard of that has us on the edge yet. If it ever happens it will be something along the lines of "Outgrowing" the use of need of the platform.

    Usability
    Intercom
    It's incredibly useful. You're honestly a little silly if you don't because it can handle simple conversations very easily and more in-depth conversations if you're willing to put in the work. It's great both as a customer success representative (with the AI agent) and as a higher-level customer success reporter.

    Intercom is the premier customer support/engagement model and it definitely has one of the top tier customer support teams as well. I don't think I have ever waited more than 5 minutes to get the information I need or get help with an issue. They are incredible and I aim to model our customer service department after them.

    I used Zendesk briefly but found it difficult to navigate — I often couldn’t tell what was going on or how to simply reply to a ticket. In contrast, Intercom is much more intuitive and user-friendly. Its clean interface and support for multiple communication formats like emails, posts, and banners make client communication clear and efficient.

    We elected to continue with Provide Support Live Chat because it was more economical compared to Salesforce's option. While Salesforce contained more integration options, we did not see the need to dramatically increase our costs just to have direct integration with Salesforce records and accounts. We haven't evaluated other options since we are happy with Provide Support Live Chat.

    Return on Investment
    Intercom
    • Since we implemented Fin AI in February, we have been able to support customer queries during non-business hours. This is a game changer. Fin has brought down response times and is also extremely capable of handling complex queries from our customers. We have seen closure rates go down by 24-30 hours, which is quite phenomenal.

    • I was not a part of the business decision to start using Provide Support Live Chat. I have been with the company for 6 years and I can say it is well worth it.
