Decagon
Application
A/B-testing suite for AI support agents: structured experiments (tone, logic, flows) against live traffic with control groups, statistical-significance testing and gradual rollout.
Dashboards and natural-language querying ('Ask AI') over support data: CSAT/deflection performance tracking, heatmaps, customer-journey visualization and knowledge-base performance.
Analyzes support conversations to detect gaps in a company's help center and auto-generates draft articles, ranked by impact, with monthly updates.
Integrated testing suite (internally called 'Simulations') that validates AI-agent behavior across channels before production deployment.
Always-on monitoring and QA for AI and human agent interactions against custom quality criteria.
AI agent
Builds and runs customer-support agents that resolve enquiries over chat, email and voice.
Decagon's chat channel — an AI agent that handles live customer conversations in a web or in-app chat surface.

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.
