Fin by Intercom vs. Laxis

Fin by Intercom is great with supporting users through onboarding questions, explaining the basics of our product and how to use it. Even with guidance, Fin by Intercom sometimes keeps trying to troubleshoot technical issues after it goes beyond what we have in our knowledge base for solving common issues, which can be a frustrating experience.

• Serves as the first point of interaction.
• Answers questions based on the knowledge base.
• Tries to suggest a solution for reported issues (in some cases).
• Gives the option to improve its answer.
• Learns from other conversations and replies by humans.
• Understands other languages.
• Interprets images (somewhat).

Incentivized

• Sometimes Fin can provide incorrect information when using previous conversations as a source; this is one of the few downsides, as teammates can sometimes make mistakes.
• We also sometimes see that Fin does not pass to a human as quickly as we would like, but this could also be a training improvement our business needs to implement.

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.

The Intercom plattform is amazingly well and this allows us to use FIN to its fullest potential. You have various ways of customizing your agent (from name, voice, guidance, escalation rules) and you have various built-in ways of understanding your performance and where you can improve (optimizer, topic explorer, etc.). And of course you can use FIN to ask questions about FIN! And FIN from Intercom is very well trained on itself, helping with most setup questions easily.

works perfect

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.

Easy to know the learning path

The implementation was surprisingly easy but we are having to adapt from our old process to work well with Intercom.

We used it a few years ago, and it was not as feature-rich for our needs. It lacked true AI capabilities, was hard for users to understand, and created workaround issues. The internal ticket system was difficult to use and led to many missed issues and calls.

• Greater customer satisfaction: Implementing Fin by Intercom AI and Intercom in general has definitely improved our CSATs from our customers. We are now consistently getting high 90s (in percentage) from our CSATs, both for Fin by Intercom and teammates. So yes, our customers are really happy with how Intercom is working.
• Reduced speed and responses: Since implementing Fin by Intercom AI and Intercom, our speed and resolution has increased massively. Resolution times have gone from days to hours with Fin by Intercom AI included. And now, with AI, customers are getting instant answers around the clock, rather than having to wait for a person.
• New role opportunities: Fin by Intercom AI have lead to many new roles created, including mine. Which has expanded overtime.
