Who it's for

  • Customer support teams that want human agents and an AI agent working from the same inbox and customer record.
  • Support operations teams that want to train and test an AI agent using their knowledge, processes, and policies.
  • Teams in technology, ecommerce, fintech, or gaming that need customer support across channels such as phone, email, and chat.

How it fits your workflow

Teams start with existing knowledge, processes, and policies to train Fin, then use AI-driven Simulations to test simulated customer conversations before deployment.

They deploy Fin across channels including phone, email, chat, and Slack. Fin and human agents share the inbox, customer record, and knowledge, supporting collaboration and handoffs.

Teams monitor performance with AI-powered Insights and Suggestions, identify trends or content gaps, and use the findings to optimize and retrain Fin.
