Overview

Fin is the AI-first customer-service software company formerly known as Intercom. It is known for Fin AI Agent, which automates customer-support conversations across channels and can integrate with an existing helpdesk or operate with Fin's own helpdesk platform. The company occupies the intersection of applied AI, customer-service automation, messaging, ticketing, and customer-experience analytics, with outcome-based pricing for its flagship agent.

History

Fin was founded in 2011 as Intercom by Eoghan McCabe, Des Traynor, Ciaran Lee, and David Barrett. The company initially built customer communication, messaging, and helpdesk software for internet businesses. It later shifted toward an AI-first customer-service model centered on Fin AI Agent and changed its corporate name from Intercom to Fin in 2026. The company operates offices in San Francisco, London, Chicago, Dublin, Sydney, and Berlin.
