## Context

Intercom announces the general availability of Fin, an AI chatbot for customer service teams. The post explains the motivation to build a trustworthy, controllable, and seamless bot that addresses the unique needs of support teams, contrasting it with simpler reskinned LLM chatbots.

## Approach / What changed

Fin is an AI chatbot that ingests existing support content from Intercom Articles, Zendesk Help Center, or public URLs, and uses GPT-4 plus Intercom’s proprietary technology to answer queries. It is constrained to approved materials, can say ‘I don’t know’ and hand off to humans, and is priced per resolution rather than per API call or deflection.

## Takeaways

- Fin resolves up to 50% of support queries by drawing answers solely from the customer’s own support content, reducing inbound volume for human agents.
- Fin is priced per resolution, meaning you pay only when a user’s query is answered without asking for a human, avoiding misleading metrics like deflection or API calls.
- Fin can be set up in minutes by pointing it at support content from Intercom Articles, Zendesk Help Center, or any public URL, and can be previewed before going live.

## FAQ

### What percentage of queries can Fin resolve?

Fin can resolve up to 50% of support queries instantly and accurately. It reduces inbound volume, allowing support reps to focus on more complex queries that need a human touch.
