Use it every day

Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Custom answers and behavior rules is exactly what I needed, and resolves common queries without human handoff. I do wish best value within Intercom ecosystem, but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.

Years in this space

I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is custom answers and behavior rules — handled better than most — and resolves common queries without human handoff. Limited customization for highly niche workflows is my one real gripe. Worth the time if this is your use case.
