Product and access
Fin is a proprietary product from Intercom and works with Intercom or, according to the pricing page, with an existing helpdesk.
Core features
7 features from provider sources · checked on 5 November 2026. Availability and limits are directly below.
Procedures with approval step
The Loop in teammate / agent step pauses a Procedure until a team member acts or a timeout is reached, for example for refund approvals. The teammate’s answers can feed later steps.
Source 13Simulations
Simulations run a Procedure through full test conversations without calling external systems. Each workspace gets a monthly allowance of runs.
Source 14Operator and Routines
Operator runs saved tasks (Routines) on a schedule or on events and asks when a decision is needed. According to the page, Routines come with the Pro add-on.
Source 10Fin Memory
Fin can reuse context from earlier conversations with a contact: recent messages, summaries and facts. The feature is on by default and applies to Fin for Service only.
Source 9Connections to other systems
According to the home page Fin connects via API, Data Connectors or MCP and reads and writes in third-party systems, for example for account changes or refunds.
Source 1Many channels
The FAQ names Messenger (web, iOS, Android), email, WhatsApp, SMS, Facebook and Instagram. Channels connected through third-party integrations may get limited troubleshooting.

Several model providers and checks
According to the page Fin uses models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Intercom and switches automatically. A final validation pass runs before the answer; when confidence is low, Fin hands over to a human.

Requirements and limits
Requirement
Fin Memory for Service and two channels only
Fin Memory exists only for Fin for Service, not for Sales or Ecommerce, and only in Messenger and email.
Source 9Limitation
Memories cannot be viewed
According to the page customers cannot view or edit their Fin Memory entries and teammates cannot view them. The page names no manual delete option; the feature can be turned off in settings.
Source 9Limitation
Routines are personal

Source 10Limitation
Regions and workspaces
According to the help article regional hosting is limited to new workspaces on the Advanced and Expert plans. Existing workspace data cannot be migrated directly between regions: you create a new workspace and transfer data and settings manually. Conversation history cannot be moved, only exported for record-keeping.
Source 7Not yet confirmed
Data use for fine-tuning
The security page says Fin trains only on the customer's knowledge and Procedures; the FAQ and trust page also mention anonymised customer data for fine-tuning with an opt-out. The pages do not match in wording.

Fin in EU-hosted workspaces
According to the help article (14 May 2026) EU-hosted workspaces can use Fin with data processed within Europe. The EU data centre is in AWS eu-west-1 (Dublin, Ireland). On Australia the pages disagree: the article names US processing with regional hosting not planned, while the FAQ still describes it as coming.

Documentation by criterion
StorageDocumented
Storage and scope
Fin Memory consists of recent messages, summaries of past conversations and facts. Messages and summaries are kept 45 days, facts 180 days. The page does not state the storage location. Operator memories persist until you delete them.
SelectionPartly documented
Selection and timing
Facts are personal details customers explicitly shared. The page does not explain how messages and summaries are selected. Operator saves something when you ask it to in a conversation.
Edit & deleteDocumented
Inspect, edit and delete
Customers cannot view or edit Fin Memory and teammates cannot view it for a contact; items are removed automatically after the retention period. You manage Operator memories under Customize > Memories and delete them via the three-dot menu.
Access boundariesDocumented
Agent and channel boundaries
Fin Memory applies per contact, for Fin for Service only and only in Messenger and email; nothing carries across products. Operator memories are personal to each teammate; the page does not say whether admins can see them.
RetrievalPartly documented
Retrieval
Fin uses memories internally for its responses. A “Fin referenced memory” event appears in the Inbox event log. The page does not describe how retrieval works.
New conversationsPartly documented
Session reset and compaction
You can turn Fin Memory off under Settings > Workspace > Security. The page does not describe compaction. The FAQ also says Fin does not retain memory within a single conversation; that does not fit the Fin Memory description without further explanation.
