In every company, everything eventually changes. Those who fail to embrace this fact stay in the past, clinging to what they knew, forever stuck working in a company that no longer exists. Embrace change, be radically open minded, hard as that may be.

Very proud of everyone at Fin (and Intercom) for helping build a great company!
Eoghan McCabe@eoghan

We’re excited to share that we just signed an agreement for @salesforce to acquire @fin_ai for ~$3.6B. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of Salesforce’s fiscal year 2027. Fin started as Intercom 15 years ago. We changed our name to cap our transformation just weeks ago. We were a darling of the SaaS era and invented so many of the patterns you see in software today. Nearly four years ago, in need of a reboot, we jumped on weeks-old modern LLMs to create and define the category we know as Customer Agents today. Salesforce invented modern software and SaaS. And @benioff is like the final boss of tech founder CEOs. In seat for 27 years, he’s one of the last of his era. Still pushing, pivoting, placing big bets. It’s a privilege for @destraynor and I to get to partner with him and join forces with Salesforce upon close at this most fascinating time. And will be very fun to get their help bringing Fin to magnitudes more consumers. To our customers: Over the past few years we’ve been shipping intensely. Including recently our groundbreaking model, Apex, and our paradigm-defining internal agent, Operator. With the resources of Salesforce this will only accelerate. And yet little will practically change. I’ll still be CEO, Des will still be running R&D, we’ll both still be committed to continuing to lead this category. Thank you very sincerely and deeply for your belief in us. To all of our friends, our families, and our employees, past and present: While this is not the end, it is a major, pivotal, special, and emotional moment for us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. For everything. To my cofounders, my exec team: Look what we built. Four young lads with a dream and nothing to lose. And a home grown exec team who pulled off the greatest and arguably only late stage software company pivot to AI, and invented one of the most important categories in AI. Thank you for sticking through all of this with me. And now, time to get back to work. See you at our next product launch in a couple weeks. (:

Another week, another big Fin product launch. Voice in an increasingly important input mechanism for AI. We have been investing deeply in it, including training our own model, Apex Flash, to meet the demands of a voice experience that feels as natural as talking to a person. A big part of this launch is putting our money where our mouth is. Unlike our main competitors who only do voice demos during heavily orchestrated meetings, we have a real, live working demo of Fin Voice on our website for everyone to try. Check it out!

A small but critical detail that I love about Fin Voice running on Apex Flash is that it is not speech to text. This is the primary way people build voice and it is slow. Speech to text > sent to the model to analyse > and return an answer in text > back to speech. Too slow to feel natural. Fin Voice 2 is true speech which makes it incredibly fast and very natural. The new standard.

Do you want to learn more about the brutal yet thrilling ride that was transforming the entire Intercom company into @fin_ai ? Next week I am hosting an Exec Briefing in New York! I'll share the inside story, give practical advice, and we'll also hear from peers on the ups and downs of transforming your company into a truly AI native org. Please tell leaders you know who are based in New York. I'd love to see you or them there. It's a private space and I'll be going full exposure on what we did :) RSVP here! luma.com/exec-briefing-…

The acceleration in our shipping product has been nothing but extraordinary, and we're being as open as possible in sharing everything about it, so others can do the same. Here's 70 (!) questions and answers from a webinar Darragh and team did.

@tomfgoodwin This is the part that kills me though: I click X, it comes back. I click X, it comes back. Cardinal sin. If someone closes something, don't open it again.

@Prithvi_Jadwani @fin_ai Nope, it is the complete opposite. It is much easier to write something longer. It is much harder to write something shorter. There are many psychological bias at play that make it hard for people to cut.

At @fin_ai we have shipped 8 Tier 1 product launches in 2 months. I'll tread each one to show you :) How is that even possible? Much more on that to come, but here is one observation. Through these launches I've reviewed a lot of work, from messaging to web to video. To get from good to great you must reduce, remove, simplify. "I know you know all the details, and want to include them all, but the art of excellent marketing is to reduce to the core idea, and leave the rest for the help center." Less is more.
