How Intercom Fin Works

Activation: Activate Fin within your Intercom or Zendesk help center. Once activated, it starts learning from your existing support articles immediately.

Answering questions: Fin combines natural language processing and machine learning to understand complex customer questions. It can clarify queries and ask follow-up questions to gather more detail, and it checks your knowledge base so answers are specific to your business. Built-in safeguards prevent off-brand or misleading responses.

Transparency: Fin links its responses back to the original source materials, so customers can dig deeper if they want more information.

Continuous learning: Fin improves over time by learning from new customer interactions and updates to your support content. When a query is too complex, it escalates to your human support team.

Language and controls: Fin primarily supports English, with plans to add more languages. You manage costs and behavior by setting up notifications and defining limits for how it resolves issues.
