The most universal (and frustrating) customer experience is waiting for support. For decades, scaling customer service meant hiring larger teams, but AI agents are beginning to change the equation. @intercom recently raised $250M in debt financing to accelerate a new generation of AI customer agents. The first release is expected as early as next month, with more rolling out throughout the year. Co-founder & CEO @eoghan describes these agents as sellers, advisers, teachers, and experts that are capable of delivering customer experiences that would be impossible for human teams alone. At the center of this push is @fin_ai, Intercom’s AI customer agent, which the company continues to advance as AI becomes core to the support stack. The momentum is clear: the company recently reported over $400M in ARR and is expanding globally, with new hiring across engineering, product, and AI research. Congratulations to Eoghan, @destraynor, @ciaran_lee, and the Intercom team! Read the full story here: ventureburn.com/intercom-raise...… @christine_tsai @vishalharnal @atxfrench @TonyW @leoclee
