  • We offer two core products – Inbox, Messages.
  • We also offer four add-ons – Custom Bots, Resolution Bot, Articles and Product Tours.
  • You can add or remove products at any time.
  • All products are built on the Intercom Platform, which lets you see your customers and what they do on your website and in your app.
