What can an AI teammate do with Intercom?

An Intercom AI teammate can read and search conversations, look up contact profiles, spot trends across support threads, tag and assign tickets, and draft replies. Write actions like sending replies or assigning conversations require your approval.

Can my AI teammate reply to customers directly?

Yes, but replying is a write action that requires your approval in safe and plan permission modes. You can review each draft before it is sent, or configure auto-approval for trusted workflows.

Which conversations can my teammate access?

Your teammate accesses conversations and contacts using your connected Intercom account's permissions. It only reads or acts on data that your account can see.

How is an AI teammate different from Intercom's built-in automation?

Intercom's automation handles routing rules and canned responses. An AI teammate reasons across full conversation history, identifies patterns, synthesizes customer feedback, and takes multi-step actions across your other tools like Slack, Notion, or a spreadsheet.
