Cedros
Choose Cedros when support belongs with your pages, customer records, forms, and email in one workspace.
Intercom
Choose Intercom when specialized support workflows, its AI agent, and service-team tools are the main requirement.
| Capability | Cedros | Intercom |
|---|---|---|
| Website publishing | Includes website hosting and page, blog, and docs publishing. | Keep your main website/CMS; Intercom supplies customer-service interfaces and help content. |
| Support channels | Website support chat and a separate shared email inbox; assess external messaging requirements separately. | Fin and the service workspace support multiple channels, including chat, email, and phone. |
| AI and human help | Live-team chat, AI replies, or AI with human handoff; configure sources and AI capacity. | Fin AI Agent and a shared agent inbox coordinate automated and human support. |
| Ticketing and routing | Site-conversation assignment, priority, and resolution; assess advanced help-desk requirements separately. | Ticketing, routing, escalation, and service workflows support a dedicated support operation. |
| Knowledge sources | Public website content and approved support knowledge; private owner-assistant access stays separate. | Configured help content and knowledge sources supply answers for Fin and the service team. |
| Customer records | Profiles link site activity, forms, bookings, campaigns, emails, chats, and notes. | Service customer data and supported integrations provide context from the rest of your stack. |
A customer asking about an offer needs information that matches the website. Cedros gives the assistant access to approved context while your team maintains the underlying pages and facts.
If a repeated question exposes an unclear page, update the explanation where everyone can find it. Publishing and support belong to the same workspace.
A dedicated support organization may need Intercom’s specific routing, reporting, and service workflows. Cedros is most useful when you also want to improve the website platform itself.
Choose live team chat, AI support, or AI with a handoff to your team. Assign conversations, set priorities, track their progress, and collect optional visitor ratings. You control where chat appears and which knowledge it uses. Visitor support stays separate from your private assistant’s business access, and AI replies use your configured AI capacity.
For Cedros, include the website plan, traffic and storage capacity, AI usage, email volume, required extensions, and any charges from your own providers. For Intercom, include agent seats, required service features, AI usage terms, channels, and your existing website. Retaining Intercom beside Cedros remains a separate option.
