Before you decide
Intercom Fin: Outcome-based AI usage plus at least one Full seat when using Intercom. Standalone Fin has no seat, platform or setup fee, but requires a minimum monthly commitment. Confirm the contracted outcome volume, outcome definition and any channel charges. Genesys Cloud AI: Contact-center licenses plus AI tokens for selected capabilities. Named, concurrent and hourly licensing options are available; included tokens vary by package and organization. Extra AI consumption, telephony and implementation can change the total. Ask both vendors to quote the same expected workload, required channels, and implementation scope. Include required subscriptions and usage charges before comparing the total; the listed starting prices alone may cover different work.
The recorded sources for Intercom Fin include Intercom Help Center; public URLs; internal articles; procedures. For Genesys Cloud AI, they include knowledge bases; interaction history; CRM; transcripts; procedures. Ask each vendor to demonstrate ingestion or live access for the exact system you use, with permissions and refresh behavior. A source missing from this directory is not proof that a vendor cannot support it.

Which actions can it complete beyond answering? Record answer quality, completed tasks, human handoffs, and total cost in the buyer worksheet.

Genesys Cloud AI: AI capabilities and telephony costs are edition/add-on dependent; implementation can be complex.
