AI agent
Cresta's autonomous contact-centre agent, handling customer conversations end to end rather than coaching a human through them.
Fin
Application
Agent-assist AI assistant for human support reps that answers their questions and drafts replies from the company's public articles, internal articles and conversation history inside the helpdesk inbox.
Analytics suite covering every Fin and human conversation: Insights (team performance and trends), Monitors (continuous QA scoring across AI and human interactions) and Recommendations (prioritized fixes for unresolved conversations).
AI agent
Customer-facing AI support agent that resolves questions from a company's knowledge sources, takes actions in connected systems via multi-step Procedures, and hands off to a human when it cannot resolve the request; answers are generated by Intercom's in-house Fin CX model suite, led by Fin Apex 1.0.
Autonomous operations agent that tunes the Fin agent's configuration, keeps its knowledge sources current, detects incidents and surfaces prioritised improvements from conversation data, with changes gated behind human approval.
Voice AI agent that handles inbound and outbound phone calls using the same knowledge sources, actions and procedures as the Fin text agent, over a phone number provisioned in Intercom or over a customer's own PSTN/SIP telephony.
