Intercom Fin + Notion AI: AI Customer Support Stack

Ehsan's Recommendation
This stack targets the economics of support: human agents cost $5-15 per ticket, Fin costs $0.99 per resolution. At 1,000 monthly conversations with 50% Fin resolution rate, you save $2,000-7,000/mo. The key is knowledge base quality — Fin is only as good as the docs it reads.
