Salesforce closes $3.6B acquisition of Fin, formerly known as Intercom

The deal closed months early, the same day the company rolled out a governance layer built to manage every AI agent under one roof.

• Salesforce completed its acquisition of Fin, the AI customer agent company formerly known as Intercom, for roughly $3.6 billion, closing months ahead of the original Q4 FY2027 timeline.
• Fin's AI agent resolves customer support queries end-to-end across chat, email, WhatsApp, SMS, voice, and Slack, hitting an average 76% resolution rate for over 30,000 companies.
• Fin, led by co-founder and CEO Eoghan McCabe, will operate inside Salesforce's AI Labs as a standalone, fast-to-deploy product running alongside Agentforce rather than being merged into it.
• The agreement was first struck June 15, 2026; the roughly $3.6 billion price makes it the largest acquisition of an agentic customer experience company to date, according to reports.
• The close landed the same day Salesforce launched its Trusted Enterprise AI Harness, a governance layer for managing internal and third-party AI agents together.
• Salesforce has also reportedly held talks to acquire AI research startup Listen Labs for around $2 billion, according to Business Insider, signaling further AI shopping ahead.
• Running two customer-service AI agents in parallel lets Salesforce sell both a plug-and-play option and a deeply customizable one, hedging against the risk that no single agent architecture wins the enterprise market.
