Chose Fin
Fin is better at customer comms than those other apps. And it's natively integrated with the intercom customer support software
I think Fin by Intercom stacks up well for the specific niche of using AI to provide customer support and business uses. The other AI products I've used are more general LLMs which, while great, would be a struggle to use/build to provide the same experience.
I can't think of anything off the top of my head regarding less appropriate. However, this product is very customizable. I think with some improvement in reporting it could be better, however, I would recommend due to these types of things. I love the knowledge base and creating those help centers. I would say that it is fairly easy to set up, but once you set it up, not really knowing all the things, it's hard to go back and change, so it would be nice to have an overall idea of guidance prior to the original setup that can just be improved over time.
Gemini is fantastic for receiving quick answers to questions where accuracy is not paramount. It is great for brainstorming ideas. It is also fantastic for analysing large swathes of unformatted data and finding correlations. Gemini can also transcribe handwriting and audio files making it excellent for formative assessment. It can also now create Google Slides which is great for lesson planning. Gemini is only as good as the prompts you provide it with though so you must remember to be exact with your prompts to get the best outputs.
It seems some users really struggle to figure out how to escalate to a human (especially through email).
Not excited about how "soft" resolutions still count as resolutions and are paid for. Though some abandoned cases appear to be able to be concluded as "the user got the answer they needed", there are others where they clearly didn't, because they just open up another chat (or even more), trying to get more info. This pads the resolution stats and makes it seem more effective than it actually is.
Cost -- Fin is quite expensive. It helps us with scaling coverage, but we're not really saving money.
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.
Intuitive is a very accurate descriptor. Features do not seem to be hidden by poor UI. Things are usually where you would expect them to be, and the UI has been designed to make it pleasant to work within the platform. The platform also scales really well. Both small and large organizations can achieve a great return on investment by using it.
It's standard usability interface - no problems or challenges using it. I do prefer Claude still because of the different options/modes you can toggle on and off. I don't think Gemini has those options. It's a great daily companion for quick problem solving but not great for larger projects or conversations
I can get help by asking Fin questions about itself. It answers accurately, citing its own Help Center resources with visuals. It can reason and dialogue well. But when it comes to getting human support for Fin, it is not as quick. It can sometimes take a few days. They are polite and well-meaning. Some things aren't their fault (product limitations), but there was one occasion where something took a long time to resolve with lots of back and forth but it was I who found out the error in the end that they missed, so they didn't really help resolve it.
Fin far surpasses these other options in platform features and capabilities. Fin allows for side-by-side use by both the Marketing and Support teams, while none of the other similar products did that well. Most platforms are designed for one or the other, not both.
Gemini seems very simple to use, veyr similar to ChatGPT, I wish they did have a capability such as ChatGPT projects one, so one can separate topics easily, it's very customizable, where I believe it defeats the others is that, is already very simple to use all of Google ecosystem, such as Drive, docs, sheets and else
