Intercom Fin
AI customer service agent for answering support questions and handing off to teams.
Customer SupportPaid
Shared inbox and customer operations platform with AI copilot, autopilot resolutions and team collaboration.
Overview
Front is a collaborative inbox that brings email, chat, SMS, WhatsApp and social messages into one workspace where teams can assign, comment internally and automate routing. It is used by small logistics firms, agencies, financial services and e-commerce operations teams that handle high-volume shared email. Its AI features include Copilot, which drafts replies, summarizes threads and translates, and Autopilot, an AI agent that resolves or triages conversations and is billed per outcome rather than per seat. A small business typically connects support@ and sales@ addresses, sets rules for assignment and SLAs, then enables Copilot for reps and Autopilot for FAQ-type conversations. It integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, Shopify, Slack, Asana, Jira, Aircall and Zapier. A real caveat is that prices are published for annual billing only, Starter caps at ten seats and the AI add-ons are separate charges, so a small team should total seat plus Copilot cost before comparing with alternatives.
