What it is
Fin is the current product and company name following Intercom's 2026 rename. Official materials describe a customer agent that can answer from knowledge, follow configured processes, call connected systems, and escalate to human support across customer journeys.
Evaluate on a labeled set of real support cases. Measure answer grounding, resolution correctness, unsupported-answer refusal, authentication, action permissions, handoff context, language quality, prompt injection, audit evidence, and recovery from wrong system updates.
Worth evaluating for
- Customer-service teams testing knowledge-grounded automated resolution
- Support workflows that combine answers, actions, and human handoff
- Organizations prepared to label outcomes and audit customer-impacting changes
What to measure
- Grounded resolution accuracy, refusal behavior, and escalation quality
- Customer identity, action permissions, knowledge freshness, and audit trails
- Language, tone, prompt-injection, error recovery, and human reviewer effort
Decision cautions
- Older Intercom branding and documentation may not reflect the current Fin company identity.
- An apparently resolved conversation can still contain a wrong answer or unsafe action.
- Customer-impacting writes require authentication, least privilege, monitoring, and rollback.
