rends closer to our upside

scenario we could find ourselves looking at an entry point too good to ignore!

CRM says "Fin"ish Him - Salesforce announced today a definitive agreement to acquire Fin (formerly Intercom), an

AI-native customer service agent company, for approximately $3.6 billion. Fin's core product is its AI Agent, which

autonomously resolves complex customer queries end-to-end across every channel (live chat, email, WhatsApp,

SMS, phone, Slack). The AI Agent is powered by Fin's proprietary model, "Apex," which is purpose-built for customer

support and has demonstrated strong resolution rates, with the company citing an average of 76% of support volume

resolved autonomously. Fin recently crossed $100M in ARR on the AI Agent alone, growing at ~3.5x, with the

broader company generating approximately $400M in total ARR (total biz growing ~40% and legacy SaaS low DD

in 4Q26). The company has a 30,000+ customer base and is skewed towards SMB and mid-market. In our ecosystem

conversations, Fin has been coming up as a strong AI solution, especially within the SaaS space. More broadly, Fin is

regarded as one of the most successful AI agents in the market, and Intercom is the most prominent example of a

pre-AI SaaS co that has re-invented itself into an AI-native (CEO's post on turnaround strategy).

Agentforce reached $1.2B in ARR in Q1 FY27 (up 200%+ y/y), but our channel checks consistently flag that time-to-

value remains a challenge and that most deployments are still early/internal. Fin addresses this gap directly as it

is a packaged, fast-to-deploy service agent that is particularly well-suited for customers that need to get up and

running quickly without heavy implementation work.
