Cogito + Intercom
AI that reads every customer conversation.
Intercom is where customers talk to you. Cogito connects to your workspace and gives every CS rep, account exec, and engineer the synthesized customer context that used to live in the most senior CSM's head.

Built deep, not via MCP
Cogito's Intercom integration is a first-class API connection with the depth, reliability, and permission inheritance most AI tools cannot match.
First-class Intercom API integration with full conversation event webhooks
Awareness of conversation states (open, closed, snoozed) and team inboxes
Native contact and company attribute reasoning, including custom fields
Real-time event triggers fire within seconds, not on a polling schedule
Personal, organizational, or both
Cogito's Intercom integration ships with the connection model that fits your team. The layering story is the differentiator.
Organizational mode
Admin connects once. Whole team inherits.
Customer history is the most valuable team-shared knowledge in any SaaS company. Org-level Intercom means every rep walks into every conversation already knowing what the customer has asked, complained about, and praised over their entire history.

New conversation opened
Example use: When a P1 conversation is opened by an enterprise customer at 2am, DM the on-call engineer with the customer's contract size, recent Linear issues, and runbook link.
Conversation tagged
Example use: When a conversation is tagged "feature-request", auto-create a Linear issue and link the conversation to it.
Conversation assigned
Example use: When a conversation is assigned to a new rep, DM them the full customer history summary so they can respond in context.
Conversation rated
Example use: When a CSAT score drops below 3, alert the account exec and start a recovery workflow.
New contact created
Example use: When a new contact signs up from a domain matching your ICP, DM the sales team with the company context.
Common workflows
Concrete day-to-day moments where Cogito + Intercom earns its keep.
P1 routing at 2am
A high-value customer files a P1 at 2am. Cogito's Intercom webhook fires within seconds. It checks the customer's contract size, looks up the on-call engineer in your runbook, attaches the recent Linear issues for the account, and DMs the engineer with the full context. End to end in under a minute.
Feature requests that become tickets
A CS rep tags a conversation "feature-request". Cogito creates a Linear issue with the conversation body, the customer name, their contract value, and links back to the conversation. The PM reviewing the backlog next morning sees ranked feature requests with the customer evidence already attached.
Renewal-call account brief
A CSM has a renewal call in 30 minutes. They ask Cogito for the brief. Cogito pulls every Intercom conversation from the last 12 months, identifies the recurring themes, surfaces unresolved tickets, and summarizes the customer sentiment trend. The CSM walks in knowing the account better than the customer expects.
CSAT recovery workflow
A customer rates a conversation 2/5. Cogito catches the rating event, pulls the conversation context, identifies the account exec, and DMs them with a suggested follow-up draft. The recovery starts before the customer has closed the browser tab.
Permission granularity
You pick the OAuth scopes at connect time - more access unlocks more capability, less access keeps Cogito narrowly scoped
Read-only, comment-only, or full reply access per team
Role-based write scoping (CS can reply, sales can comment, eng can read)
Tag-based access patterns (some teams see only specific tags)
Per-inbox or per-team scoping for narrow rollouts
