Salesforce announced on Monday that it will acquire AI customer service platform Fin for $3.6 billion. Formerly known as Intercom, Fin offers an AI agent that can resolve customer queries across channels, using live chat, WhatsApp, SMS, phone calls, Slack, and more.
Salesforce says it wants to use Fin’s team and technology to improve Agentforce, its existing enterprise platform that businesses can use to build custom AI agents that automate tasks.
