Two different tools
An AI agent inside a platform vs an answer layer on your website
Intercom Fin is an AI agent that lives inside the Intercom customer-service platform: inbox, workflows, tickets. WebSpeaker is an answer layer that lives on your website: it answers visitor and customer questions from your published content — docs, help center, pricing, product pages — and hands the rest to your team. You can run it in front of Intercom, Zendesk, or any helpdesk you already use.
Intercom Fin may be the better fit if…
You already run support on Intercom and want AI inside that inbox.
You need AI across many channels, managed in one platform.
You want AI acting inside helpdesk workflows like tickets and routing.
WebSpeaker is the better fit if…
You want answers on your website without adopting or migrating to a platform.
You want pre-sales and support questions covered by one widget.
You want predictable capacity pricing and a permanent Free plan.
You want to keep your current helpdesk and add an answer layer in front of it.

What makes WebSpeaker different
Five differences that matter in practice
Grounded answers with sources
Every answer comes from your indexed content and shows where it came from, so visitors can check it.
One widget for pre-sale and post-sale
The same answer layer covers pricing and fit questions before signup and support questions after it.
AI handoff and live support
When AI is not enough, the assistant collects contact, topic, and time — and your team can take over live, including from a mobile app.
Predictable capacity pricing
A permanent Free plan; paid plans add AI messages, projects, and seats. No per-resolution fees.
Keep your helpdesk
No migration, no platform adoption — WebSpeaker works in front of the tools you already use.

No. There is no ticket inbox to migrate to. Your team handles handoffs and live chats in the WebSpeaker panel or mobile app, while your existing helpdesk keeps doing its job.
How is WebSpeaker priced?
With a permanent Free plan and paid plans that add capacity: AI messages, projects, and seats. There are no per-resolution fees.
Can it answer pre-sales questions too?
