Overall Satisfaction with Fin by Intercom

At EOS One we use Fin for all of our Tier 1 questions.
We're a small team of 2 individuals, and Fin has come in and really been able to take a load off of answering the basics.
Like with any AI bot, your experience is only as good as your data. Fin helps us identify where in our Knowledge Base we have gaps so that we can quickly update or create articles.
Doing this, we've had high 80's to low 90% defection rates each week. We've also had several people give kudos, knowing they're talking to an AI bot but being satisfied doing so!
To anyone looking, don't "cheap out" on the solution. Get Fin. Fin is a game changer.

Pros

  • Explains step-by-step with pictures
  • Multi-language support
  • Flags knowledge gaps for the team
  • Understands when to escalate to a human

Cons

  • Escalate to human (sometimes it tells people to email us, while in a chat it could pass to us)
  • CSAT - Fin is currently holding an 83% CSAT over the last month
  • Reduced Tier 1 workload on the team—we had a lot of "easy" questions being passed to expensive people.
  • 24/7 response time. We have a global product, but a small team, so Fin helps us answer questions at all hours of the day.
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.
Currently, we only have Fin deployed to use our Knowledge Base also hosted by Intercom.
We're still a smaller organization, so volume isn't huge for anything outside of that Tier 1 work, but we know that Fin is able to and trust that when the time comes, integrating Fin into external tools will not only be the right move, but a painless experience.
  • Zendesk Chat
  • Chatbase
I've tried several AI chatbots before when using Zendesk. We found that the native Zendesk AI was expensive, but the best compared to "alternatives" such as Chatbase, My AskAI, and Macha.
Then, we decided to switch over to Intercom for the startup program.
WOW!!! Fin blows away any other AI bot on the market. Even if you're not using Intercom as a platform (you should), I highly recommend you use Fin. We've never had this high of CSAT or resolution with an AI bot before; our customers love Fin!

Yes

Would you buy Fin by Intercom again?

Yes

The only experience I have with Fin is supporting T1 SaaS. I've never tried to hook Fin up to external tools for T2 support, nor used in another industry. But that said, Fin is ALWAYS my recommendation for anyone looking for the best T1 SaaS chatbot on the market. Fin gives quality answers, not robotic answers. I've heard from several of my users that they enjoy our chatbot. I mean, when you get CSAT comments giving kudos to the AI bot, who the customer KNOWS is AI? That's a win. I even had a COO email me directly asking what tech we were using because they were that impressed with Fin. I was a Zendesk diehard before switching to Intercom, and Fin is the biggest reason I'll never go back.
