Create conversations on behalf of customers
Got a support request through another channel? Email Carly the details and she'll open a new conversation in Intercom with the right customer, so your team can pick it up immediately.
Tag users based on behavior or context
After a call or meeting, tell Carly to tag a user in Intercom — like "enterprise-lead" or "churning" — so your team can segment and follow up without logging in.
Get conversation summaries on demand
Ask Carly for a summary of recent conversations with a specific customer or across your team. She'll pull the data from Intercom and send you a clear rundown of open issues and latest replies.
Add notes to contacts
After a meeting or internal discussion, email Carly to add a note to a contact in Intercom — like contract details, feature requests, or escalation context. Your support team sees it instantly.
Why customer teams are using AI to manage Intercom
Intercom centralizes your customer conversations, but your work doesn't all happen inside Intercom. You're on calls, in meetings, responding to emails, and managing accounts across multiple tools. When you need to tag a contact after a call, add a note about a conversation, or check the latest threads with a customer, logging into Intercom and navigating to the right contact takes time.
An AI assistant that connects to Intercom lets you handle these tasks from your inbox. Email or text Carly to tag a user, add a note, open a conversation, or get a summary of recent interactions — and she handles the API call while you stay focused on your current task. It's especially useful for account managers, CS leads, and founders who touch Intercom data regularly but don't want to keep the dashboard open all day.
How Carly works as your AI Intercom assistant
You connect Intercom to Carly once through the dashboard using OAuth. After that, Carly can read and write to your Intercom workspace whenever you send her a message.
When you ask Carly to tag a contact, she looks up the user by email address, applies the tag, and confirms. When you ask for a conversation summary, she pulls the latest threads, statuses, and replies from Intercom and sends you a clear rundown. You can also forward a customer email to Carly and ask her to open a new Intercom conversation tied to the right contact — useful when support requests come in through channels outside of Intercom.
Because Carly works from outside Intercom, she can also connect your support data with other tools. Ask her to check if a VIP contact in Intercom also has an overdue invoice in Stripe, or pull a customer's recent Shopify orders alongside their conversation history. This cross-tool context makes it easier to handle escalations and account reviews without switching between dashboards.
Who uses AI for Intercom management
Customer success managers who need to update contact records and add notes after every call. Account executives who want to tag contacts and check conversation history before meetings. Support team leads who need a quick summary of open conversations without digging through the Intercom inbox. Founders and operators at early-stage startups who handle customer communication alongside product and sales work.
If you interact with Intercom contacts and conversations regularly but don't want to context-switch into the dashboard for every update, Carly gives you a faster path from your inbox.

What is the best AI for Intercom?
Carly is an AI assistant that connects directly to your Intercom workspace and lets you manage contacts and conversations by email or text. You can tag users, add notes, create conversations, and get conversation summaries — without opening the Intercom dashboard. Carly also connects to 200+ other tools, so you can cross-reference customer conversations with data from your CRM, payment platform, or e-commerce store.
Can AI automate Intercom tasks?
Yes. Carly automates routine Intercom tasks like tagging contacts after calls, adding notes to customer records, creating conversations from forwarded emails, and pulling summaries of recent interactions. You send a message and Carly handles the API interaction — no need to navigate the Intercom interface for quick updates.
How does Carly connect to Intercom?
Go to your Carly dashboard, click Connect next to Intercom, and authorize access via OAuth. The connection takes about 30 seconds. Once connected, Carly can create conversations, tag users, add notes, and pull conversation data.
Is Carly different from Intercom's built-in AI (Fin)?
Yes. Intercom's Fin is a customer-facing AI chatbot that answers questions for your end users. Carly is a personal assistant for you and your team — she helps you manage Intercom data from your inbox by tagging contacts, adding notes, pulling conversation summaries, and creating conversations. They solve different problems and can be used together.
Can Carly create Intercom conversations from external requests?
Yes. If a customer emails you directly or submits a request outside of Intercom, you can forward the details to Carly and she'll open a conversation in Intercom tied to the right contact. This keeps your Intercom inbox complete even when requests come in through other channels.
Will Carly duplicate contacts in Intercom?
No. Carly matches contacts by email address before making changes. If the contact already exists, she updates the existing record instead of creating a duplicate.
