Intercom

Intercom is the customer-messaging and AI-support platform used by tens of thousands of businesses, founded in Dublin by Eoghan McCabe, Des Traynor, Ciaran Lee and David Barrett. It grew from an Irish startup into a category-defining SaaS company and an early mover in AI customer service with its Fin agent.

For live chat and AI support, Intercom is the Irish-founded alternative to the big American help-desk suites.
