Fin by Intercom vs. Rasa

Fin by Intercom is suited for all customer support scenarios. The major part is responsible of the business to feed a well equipped KB covering all the product/platform features, process steps and FAQs. If the KB is well equipped Fin can easily address incoming customer queries which it is able to do in our case and help us touch deflection rate of 85%.

Rasa Pro is well suited for corporate use and for chatbots which require backend connections. Smaller chatbots with a few flows might be better served with a simple dialogue engine and custom AI agents, or Rasa Open Source. Rasa does not come with its own complex vector database, just in-memory FAISS and connectors to external vector DB's such as Milvus and Qdrant. It provides only a basic document parser and embedder for FAISS. If you need to build a RAG focused chatbot around a large knowledge base with complex documents, e.g. lots of MS Word or PDF files, you'll have to build a separate document parser and embedder, as well as your own semantic search engine

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.

FIN is extremely capable and the UI is very intuitive. There are some things that involve using Data Connectors - for example there's a FIN workflow for when a customer creates a ticket but it doesn't give you access to the Ticket ID. You have to create a data connector to fetch that data - just seems a little convoluted.

With the help of dedicated team - documentation and video resources it is relatively easier to build. We prioritized pro-code usage to begin with launch.

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.

Rasa support has been very responsive, trying to fix any reported issues ASAP. They've also listened to many requests for improvement. The Rasa features and changelog are well documented

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

In my experience, what Intercom has done with Fin by Intercom is far more innovative and forward thinking than other tools I've used. It's intuitive, easy, and they are always releasing new things to make Fin by Intercom even more powerful.
