Fin by Intercom Reviews & Product Details

I really like Fin by Intercom for its ability to respond to customers quicker than a human generally could and answering most straightforward questions, which saves time for our team. It seems to learn quickly. I also appreciate the suggestions to our help docs and articles it creates, based on analyzing frequent customer questions. We started using it when it was released and have kept using it because it has been really helpful in reducing some of our team's time and effort in support. Overall, we really like it.

Sometimes it makes suggestions to the customer that are not correct and I have a hard time working out where it found the information. Generally, it's pretty good but there are instances when, for example, it's offered for us to do revisions to customers that are not entitled to revisions and we have had to follow through on that offer from Fin. The revisions was a big one. Also, offering a discount code to customers that were not categorized as being entitled to that specific discount. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The vast keyboard shortcuts were the most helpful in the Intercom. Speaking with different customers makes your life faster and easier with just one click of a button, and you can already switch to a tab, or change your interface.

Another thing I love about Intercom is the new CoPilot feature. It is an AI but also user input so you are assured that you can modify your responses and choose from the best answers from your colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It creates too many interaction. I hope it can identify and merge tickets immediately if a user created too many inquiries in a given instance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like when Fin by Intercom gets it right because it can provide very good answers to people's questions. When it answers correctly, we don't even have to read the responses ourselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have a lot of problems with Fin by Intercom. We need to work on a new workflow since it only handles very simple questions. We face language issues because we work in four different languages, and Fin struggles with that. There's no integration with our systems, and it doesn't take all the incoming messages, which causes a lot of problems. Although the initial setup was okay with help from Intercom, we don't feel we get the ongoing support we need, and we might need to hire another company to make this work properly.

What I like best about Fin is how efficiently it handles a large number of routine customer inquiries, drawing from various internal resources to provide accurate and helpful responses. This allows our team to focus on more complex cases that require a personal touch, ultimately improving our overall productivity and service quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fin sometimes struggles to distinguish whether it’s interacting with a business or an end customer, which can affect the context of its responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Fin by Intercom provides a lot of great information for users and connects them to the correct help tutorials most of the time. It gives accurate responses and works out questions effectively, solving the need to use teammates for every single query. The system does a pretty solid job of accurately serving the information we need, offering good follow-up when additional questions are asked by customers. It helps take the workload off different reps, giving them more time to focus on other tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it's expensive. The system seems very cost prohibitive, especially for smaller businesses, and didn't work as well, which is why we ended up choosing another provider that was a little more affordable. Fin by Intercom occasionally answered incorrectly on things or just confused users and made situations worse rather than better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Intercom has been a great tool for contacting customers and for creating an integrated system alongside our other software. It’s about as easy to use as it gets, and we rely on it every day for our standard customer support interactions. Fin also helps us work through conversations more efficiently, so we can focus on the ones that truly need direct human interaction.

It is also, importantly, an extremely easy system to train new staff on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can be a little clunky in some aspects but is mostly a really positive program. The main area of improvement needed is in the search engine as this can be a chore to find conversations not directly linked to a specific customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how Fin by Intercom helps me save time and keeps things organized. I find its workflows to be extremely time-saving, which I value the most. It also helps us refrain from constantly monitoring our chatbot, and it's nice to have responses recorded with names and emails. The biggest value proposition for me is the time-saving aspect, which is super helpful. Plus, having a place to train the AI and make it work the way we want, and being able to constantly iterate it, is super helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think its critical thinking capabilities, which might be hard for an AI agent. But having to give it less direction to get our output would be helpful. I just wish the support team at Intercom was maybe a little bit more high-tech. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fin has been a great addition to our support workflow. It provides fast, accurate answers and helps reduce response times significantly. Our clients appreciate the immediate assistance, and our team can focus on more complex cases. The setup was smooth, and the quality of AI responses keeps improving over time — it really feels like an extension of our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fin is a helpful tool, but there’s still room to grow. Sometimes the answers feel too generic or lack the right context for specific client questions. Better control over tone and more training options to align it with our brand voice would make a big difference. Overall, it’s a solid product — it just needs more flexibility for teams managing complex, multilingual interactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the custom answers feature in Fin by Intercom, as it helps differentiate answers based on the client's location, ensuring we don't mix and merge data when communicating with clients. The snippets feature is incredibly useful for quickly adding info that we don't want clients to just find by scrolling through articles but want them to know if they're specifically looking for it. The ability to set a tone of voice is great for maintaining good service, and guidance has become one of my favorites recently. The initial setup was pretty easy, mainly because we didn't have many articles at the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that I can't add different languages to one snippet, like with articles. It's also frustrating not being able to change the language listing order. Switching to article editing directly from the published article would be a nice feature. For the Fin bot, I wish there was an ability to evaluate answers in chats and train the bot based on that. There's also no report on how articles are being used in specific bot conversations. For example, if I post a new article, I want a report to show which conversations it was used in.

I like the support we get from Intercom's team and using Fin by Intercom itself to learn about the AI. I think the personality in general is configured well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that a lot of pages are separate where they could be one. For example, the macros sit in a different page than the rest of the knowledge base and Fin can't access macros. The initial setup was pretty complex, especially with importing a lot of knowledge into the Intercom knowledge base and making it AI-friendly; that was very time-consuming. Another thing I find tricky with Fin is that you can't really relate one guidance prompt to another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
