Fin by Intercom vs. Oracle Digital Assistant vs. Verloop

It's a far superior AI offering compared to other options on the market. The lack of Dev support needed in the setup and management is a huge bonus as well. intercom is clearly investing in Fin, and the constant development and opportunity to be Beta testers keep us ahead in the industry too.

As mentioned in pros and cons, it depends on the use cases. Most of the normal chatbot use cases can be handled by ODA. If you want to build a chatbot with menu style or conversation style (it is not straight forward but it can be done), ODA can be perfect. If use cases are to also include AI with emotional intelligence to make conversational more interactive and also be able to detect through AI engine automatically what a person would like to do or perform or ask, then ODA may not fit for it. If you also are looking for virtual agents through tighter IVR integration then ODA may not be right. There are a few limitations around the number of words in the text to voice feature.

• Ability identify the issue from limited information shared by the customer
• Clearly communicate the resolution leveraging the knowledgebase input
• The resolution by Fin is very detailed and calls out all the possible solutions to the problem helping the customer identify the right fix
• Fin is constantly learning from the past instances and leveraging into present and future issue resolution and thereby able to provide a good customer experience

• Oracle AI processes natural language well and the conversations pick a good flow.
• It recognizes pattern of behavior for more refined results with each implementation under machine learning.

• I would like to see a report of the difference between chat and email reactions.
• When using Fin for email support, it can sometimes overrespond in email threads that involve multiple people. It may react to replies from other participants and send unnecessary responses. This also happens when colleagues are included in the email thread, causing Fin to keep replying to their messages as well.
• It’s not possible to remove Fin’s replies in individual email threads, which makes it difficult to stop the bot from responding when it’s no longer needed (unless you manually reply again).

• Our clients have reported that upon integration with Siri for voice commands, the results are pretty obvious (basic) Nd the conversation is unnatural.
• The languages it supports are very limited.

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.

It's pretty simple to implement. Naturally, there are some processes that are complex, but it's a naturally complex task that it's trying to tackle, so that is understandable. Occasionally it's not clear if one should create a new snippet for a nuanced question vs a custom answer - and then the custom answers can be tough to train.

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.

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

FIN/Intercom has a much better UI and feels more integrated than Zendesk. The reporting is also much more straight forward - using something like Zendesk Explore is painful and feels like I'm using something 10 old. FIN also integrates better with other products, and we've been able to create custom apps/widgets using the Intercom Canvas app far quicker than we could with Zendesk.

I selected Oracle Digital Assistant against all other digital assistant platforms as this platform works like a charm with any Oracle application. It integrates well with Oracle Integration Cloud. The new beta version has an inbuilt conversation builder which can be used to build conversation without the YAML code.

• We've achieved around a 50% resolution rate (and growing) with Fin by Intercom
• Our customers have a near instant response time when chatting with Fin by Intercom
• We've been able to use Fin by Intercom for a 100% AI driven approach for a subset of our users

• We've had a good integration with our existing databases and applications.
• Our customers are crypto traders and we've had more engagement with them, which means a lot to us.
