Introducing Fin AI for Help Desk, helping your team speed up writing replies and automating tasks. These features are integrated with OpenAI’s GPT models.


Features

Fin AI Compose

Easily rephrase answers, adjust to your tone, translate replies or fix spelling.

  • Expand or Rephrase - write shorthand customer responses and let the AI generate a complete suggested or rephrased message.

  • Change tone - automatically change the tone of the message you’ve written to sound more like your own tone, be more casual/friendly or more formal depending on what suits your business or the situation.

  • Fix grammar - fix your grammar and spelling mistakes, to ensure your replies are always flawless.

  • Translate - translate your message into another language if you're handling a query in a different language.

After using one of the AI Compose options, teammates can choose to accept, undo, or try again.

Fin AI Summarize

Create an AI-generated summary of a customer conversation or ticket in the Intercom Help Desk. To pull up the AI Compose options quickly, just hit ⌘ J / Ctrl J . Teammates can choose to edit a summary first before adding the Note to the conversation, or add the Note straight away.

Summaries can also be generated automatically using Workflows. Check it out here.

Fin AI Autofill

Automatically populate ticket titles and description when creating a ticket.


Get started

To enable Fin AI for Help Desk, navigate to your workspace Settings > Help Desk > Fin AI.

Note:

  • AI Compose for Help Desk will be enabled automatically for new customers who joined since September 12, 2023.

  • Fin AI is available on EU and AU hosted workspaces, but the data used by Fin is currently processed in the US. Regional data processing for Fin will become available in early 2024.

  • AI Compose 'Adjust my Tone', AI Summarize, and AI Autofill is only available on some pricing plans.

How AI Compose and Summarize features are being used by Support teams

  • Rephrase - Support reps are using the 'Rephrase' feature to add some variety into their replies and macros. This makes their responses more personal, as they are also well adjusted to their personal tone. They use it to make replies more fun and engaging. Also, they’ll use it when they feel like their response is a little awkward. It gives them a new way to say the same thing with clarity.

  • Make more formal - Some teammates like using the ‘Make more formal’ feature because it helps them tune-up their language in cases where that’s appropriate.

  • Summarize - Support reps are using Fin AI Summarize when handing over conversations or escalating to a different team and bringing them up to speed quickly. The summaries help other teams get caught up with the specifics efficiently and allows them to determine next steps quicker. They also use it to summarize very long conversations, helping reps get up to speed quicker.

  • Expand - Help center content creators are turning simple bullet points and short summaries into an instant first draft with AI assist for Articles.
