Quality & Resolution

Higher resolution with grounded answers

Quickchat AI uses proprietary Retrieval-Augmented Generation and reranking to keep answers grounded in your approved sources. Our systems use advanced data modeling to ensure your AI stays grounded in your knowledge base. AI responses are directly connected to your approved knowledge sources (documents, help centers, internal wikis, databases).

In internal migrations, teams see an over 10 percentage point lift in resolution rate compared to Fin on the same knowledge base.

• Grounded answers: Responses are sourced from your help center, docs, or internal knowledge base.

• Source-constrained responses: If no verified answer exists, the AI can ask a clarifying question or escalate to a human.

Pricing

50% cheaper than Fin

Intercom lists Fin at $0.99 per resolution, with additional helpdesk seat costs when used in Intercom. Quickchat AI starts from $0.50 per resolved chat, half the price, with predictable outcome-based billing.

• Lower cost per resolution: About half the price per resolved conversation.

• Predictable scaling: Costs grow with outcomes as you scale.

Customization & Control

Define personality, rules, and business logic

Quickchat AI's Conversation Design Module gives you precise control over agent behavior, tone, and guardrails. Fin's customization is more basic and centered on general tone presets.

• Custom system prompt tailored to your business instead of Fin's more generic prompt across all customers.

• Create different rules for different conversation types or customer segments.

• Custom actions and lead-gen without writing code.

• Prompt governance and escalation logic for strict compliance.

Observability

Full "Why AI Said That" traces

Quickchat AI provides transparent traces for each response so teams can audit, refine, and improve performance. This visibility is limited in Fin.

• Conversation logs and compliance reporting for QA.

• Source attribution to validate answers and identify content gaps.

• Analytics for resolution rate, escalations, and top questions.

Run everywhere your customers are

Quickchat AI is channel-agnostic: website widget, Slack, WhatsApp, Zendesk, Intercom, Telegram, Discord, or API. Fin supports Intercom channels like email, live chat, phone, SMS, and WhatsApp, and can be deployed on other helpdesks too.

• Channel-agnostic AI: Use one AI agent across every channel and platform.
