Intercom
Intercom is an AI-first customer service company best known for Fin, its AI agent that resolves customer support conversations automatically. Founded in 2011 by four Irish engineers in San Francisco, the company rebuilt itself around large language models after ChatGPT launched, shipping Fin in 2023. By 2026 Fin was resolving more than a million tickets a week for customers like Anthropic, DoorDash and Mercury, and in May 2026 the parent company rebranded itself Fin to reflect that the AI agent had become the core business.
Hiver
Hiver is a customer service platform built on top of Gmail and Google Workspace. It turns shared mailboxes like support@ and sales@ into a collaborative help desk - letting teams assign emails, track status, automate workflows, and measure SLAs without leaving their inbox. Founded in 2011 (originally as GrexIt), Hiver now serves more than 10,000 organizations, including Harvard University, Flexport, and Upwork, and has expanded into AI-assisted support across email, live chat, voice, and WhatsApp.
Front
Front is a customer service platform that unifies email, chat, SMS, social and voice into one collaborative workspace. It looks like an inbox, behaves like a help desk, and adds AI on top so teams can answer faster without losing the human voice their customers hired them for.
