Fin by Intercom vs. Luma vs. MailMaestro

Fin is great for using for first line support. We use Fin for conversations where customers have a standard question, and Fin is able to pull from our content to answer this accurately and go above and beyond to include some basic problem solving. This really helps us free up our Support Team's time for more complex queries. Fin isn't appropriate for us on technical issues or conversations which require human support. We've had to remove Fin from interacting on these conversations as customers were becoming frustrated with speaking to AI, or having Fin be unable to problem solve. However, this was easy to set up through Intercom, and now customers with complex questions/situations or bugs/technical issues do not engage with Fin and Fin only handles suitable conversations.

Because of its professional tone, we used MailMaestro whenever we do email outreach to apartment owners and brokers. It's saved us a lot of head ache of drafting so many emails per day, when it could do it in a snap. Aside from email outreach, we're also using Mailmaestro to draft replies to tennants who are looking to rent apartments or just people inquiring. Its casual tone helps break down the stiff wall between a company and a lead

• 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

• It provides quick replies to the customer with chat it has AI which determines and replies to frequently asked questions.
• Without stating the whole sentence it understands what the user is going to express it helps to get a better approach in terms of communication stability.
• The best part is effective and satisfactory support given by he service owners.

Incentivized

• Easy to navigate
• Language selector helps overpass language barriers
• The AI is fun to work with, and the "try-again" feature is very convenient.

• 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.

• more accessibility
• mprovement in the Spanish language
• a friendlier system

Incentivized

• Perhaps more tones and languages
• Opportunity to enable this on other email clients such as Gmail?
• Being able to have more options for outputs instead of having one each try

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.

From an administration standpoint, Fin is very easy to set up, train, and test. Having the ability to impersonate a user in our system to see how Fin responds is huge. It lets you test several situations and throw curveballs at it (as customers will) without the risk of setting Fin live and wondering what will happen. It's also easy to fine-tune. Some chatbots you can never quite get right without spending hours on, but Fin usually takes a few minutes to dial it in. From a customer standpoint, Fin couldn't be easier to engage with. We tell customers up front it's an AI bot and they're wow'd with the experience

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 only used the free live chat version from HubSpot, so Intercom is yards better! If I were just comparing an actual live chat between the two tools, HubSpot was often clunky and delayed, and it was hard to find past conversation information

1. Cheaper 2. More user friendly for both the organisers and attendees 3. Better design

It all works seamlessly together

• New role opportunities — Using the “Fin-first” approach has reduced the workload for our Tier 1 team, giving them more time to focus on their own career growth. It’s also opened the door to a dedicated, AI-focused role, where a team member regularly reviews Fin’s answers and makes updates to help it perform even better.
• Enabling Fin has also reduced our response time and allowed us to meet SLA's.

• It is a somewhat complex tool to use where the learning curve can be high, but in the long run, customer service agents feel that the work is lighter. They are able to attend and prioritize customer calls making all customers feel satisfied with our services.
• The purchase of this software is an investment that is undoubtedly worthwhile because, in the medium and long term, the sales department will work better and will be much more productive.
