Product Details

What is Intercom?

Intercom brings AI-first Customer Service to improve experiences for customers, support agents, and managers. The AI-first platform is built on a single AI system, with three major components:

AI Agent: Customers no longer wait or get deflected. AI Chatbot provides instant responses, 24/7, to most questions. Only complex interactions transition to tickets.

AI Copilot: Agents no longer manually, slowly look things up. AI Copilot is ever-present, connected to all data and systems, and provides information in real time. Instant ramp time for new agents, and agents needing to know new things.

AI Analyst (Coming soon): Leaders no longer manually compile reports without full coverage. AI Insights proactively provides a holistic view across 100% of conversations, with clear suggested areas of improvement.

Intercom states that customer service teams from more than 25,000 global organizations, including Atlassian, Amazon and Lyft Business, currently use Intercom to deliver efficient and personal customer experiences at scale.

Intercom Features

  • Supported: Operational efficiency: Uses AI, Bots and Rules to reduce support costs by freeing up support teams from repetitive questions and tasks.
  • Supported: Productivity: Helps to ensure service teams only work on high value questions in a collaborative Inbox.
  • Supported: Solves known customer issues by helping them before they get in touch: Sends proactive messages to get ahead of known issues and reduce inbound support volume.
  • Supported: Customer engagement by providing direction: Shows customers what to do next without waiting for them to contact support and ask.
  • Supported: Customer satisfaction through conversational support: Answers questions immediately in the channel they arise, or the channel that customers prefer.
  • Supported: Cohesive customer service: Supports working together in one platform.

In our organization, we use Intercom to deal with customer support tasks. We also use the proactive message combined with Workflow and are fans of the tag to track broader issues, customer feedback, and feature requests. We only use have conversations and not tickets because we are a small company and that suits us the best. Our helpcenter is also connected to Intercom and is a great resource of information.

As client support, we do what our clients need to do, like their tasks, schedules, and adjustments on their accounts. We gave them instructions, suggestions, and recommendations through the intercom so we could easily communicate with them by email. Their accounts and members are the product addresses that we need to do.

To registrate and communicate with clients and also between the people from inside the company. We also use the "note" feature a lot, and that way we can comment on external emails and be on the same page


It is very useful also for bulk emails

My company uses Intercom for support requests, user documentation, and onboarding guides for trialers. It is meant for users to be able to get the help they need without necessarily involving a support person. The Bug and Feature requests that come in through Intercom are tied back to tickets in Jira for tracking and notification when and if a Jira ticket gets picked up.

We use it to talk to customers in real time to answer technical and sales questions for them. We can interface with our website and give them direct links to products, order information, quotes, etc. They ca do this without waiting on the phone, and it can be much quicker than back and forth emails.

I use Intercom in our organization as the main tool in communicating with guest and clients via email and chat. We also use it for documentation and creating follow ups. I love how we are able to customize macros and the addition of AI feature for composing messages is just awesome.

Intercom allows us to quickly communicate new updates and features to all of our subscribers. Our client success team is also able to respond more efficiently to questions and requests. We really love having everything centralized in one place versus a bunch of email inboxes and other tools.

As a web3 game, we use Intercom to help players resolve in-game queries, bugs, problems, feedback and situations that arise while playing the game. We have found a use for the tickets, and we are able to troubleshoot bans and appeals by using player information (such as eth addresses, their player ids, locations, etc). Additionally, we've made amazing work flows to pre-answer a lot of our player's regular queries and it has cut down the support work by quite a lot.

Replying to emails/chats about billing, account and software issues. We do troubleshooting for different kinds of things, from problems with the interface of vidIQ to refunds and credits.

Intercom serves as the bridge to communicate this to our customers in an efficient and empathetic manner. Especially since the introduction of AI tools

At Owl Labs, we use Intercom for our live website chat for sales and support. We have Intercom integrated with the rest of our tech stack, including Salesforce, Calendly, and Zoom. While we don't use Intercom for traditional ticketing or knowledge articles, we've found the integrations they offer to meet our needs completely and ensure they work well with our existing use cases.

We use Intercom to respond to client questions and troubleshoot issues in live time, so that we can provide a timely service to our clients. It also allows us to monitor and respond to clients when the individual responsible for them is busy or out of office. Further, it ensures that a constant line of communication can be open with clients, such that we can be seen as trusted advisors

We use intercom for:
Support: Our users send us support messages with questions both basic and complex. Also they report technical issues when these appear.
Outbound messaging: New products releases, news, surveys, adoption, event or webinars invitations. We also use Intercom to manage or Help Centre and we have tried to use it for onboarding purposes,too but we haven't had much success in this area.

I work as a Customer Service Specialist, and we handle user queries and feedback through the intercom. Our game-fy and social-fy app allows users to connect with users directly through the app. With its polished and user-friendly interface and robust features, Intercom emerges as a holistic solution catering to customer support, marketing automation, and sales outreach needs. We connect with the user and address their queries on blockchain and web3. The Intercom provides a smooth conversation experience. While the platform is generally user-friendly, there is a learning curve, especially for users new to customer messaging platforms. However, the comprehensive documentation and responsive support team help mitigate this challenge.

AI Integration Is Amazing

Score 9 out of 10

We find the AI integration amazingly helpful both for our team writing emails but also for the Fin Bot function.
This has reduced the amount of inbound emails we receive and has been invaluable at helping us stay on top of our customer service.
We do find that customers can assume this is a live chat function (which it is not) which can be a slight draw back but the Intercom team are very helpful and showed us how to filter these messages so our team can prioritise the response times on these emails.

We are using Intercom to manage support requests in our digital product Casai. Casai is designed to help control annd regulate the economics of construction projects and it can take some time to learn. So our clients contact us if mostly if they are struggling with using the program, need help with certain features or if there are bugs.
