Overview

What Fin is

Fin is designed to resolve customer questions rather than merely draft replies for a human agent. Teams connect knowledge sources, define behavior and procedures, and deploy the agent through Intercom or supported help-desk environments.

Its outcome-based commercial model aligns charges with resolved conversations, but teams still need to audit knowledge quality, escalation rules, and resolution reporting. Sensitive or high-impact requests should retain a clear route to human review.

Use cases

Who Fin is best for
