I've a new post over on our new Intercom Ideas blog!
An AI conundrum: Products or Partnerships
In building and selling software, there are two main ways to do it: Sales-led, or Self-serve. There is no ‘one right way’, but over the last 15 years of Saas, the pros and cons of each became very clear.
The question we face now is: which one is better for building AI products? Or is there a new way that is better than both?
Saas is predictable software. AI is unpredictable. What does that mean for how we build and sell?

That's why we're introducing Pioneer – Intercom’s first ever AI customer service summit. Join us for a day of thought leadership, networking, special product announcements, and a close-up look at the Intercom product.
Oh, and you'll be among the first to see our next-generation AI Agent, Fin 2, which will push the boundaries of AI-first customer service.
▶️ Off Script EP04 is live!
In it, I talk about what AI means for design: where we've come from, the highly uncertain moment we are presently entering, and the dramatic changes that might come next.
Excited to share 3 big @intercom product updates today.
1️⃣ We've shipped Fin's top request: Fin over Email.
Fin now works great over email. That's it. That's the tweet.
To turn it on, you just click the "on" button. #ux#ui.
Today we’re launching Fin. A brand new product powered by @intercom’s proprietary ML + @openai’s GPT-4.
Fin is “ChatGPT for customer service.” An infinitely scalable AI support rep. It’s a world first. And certainly our most important launch yet.
We are on the way to 1M ARR with our tiny team. The underappreciated secret is automation. @intercom plays a significant role in that.
Just set up a new flow to show new customers that we really appreciate having them with a personal message and a follow-up after 3mo. 👌
