Automation 14/30+: Put an AI agent inside Intercom

Nobody wants an AI talking to their customers. Everybody wants an AI helping the person who does.

What it does

  • A conversation comes in → the AI reads it against your repo and drafts a grounded reply
  • The draft appears as an internal note for your teammate to edit and send
  • It's a bug → it's escalated as a GitHub issue with the specifics attached
  • Answers are based on your actual code, so they stop being confidently wrong

What it does not do

It never sends a message to a customer. Every outgoing reply is a human's.

Honest note: beta — built and smoke-tested, waiting on a live inbox.

Setup

clone → ./setup.sh → pick Intercom → answer a few questions
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

~5 minutes. No server, no database, free.

Get it

The recipe is open source: github.com/akshaypatel-ai/ai-automations

This is one of 30+ automations in the series — the full write-up lives on my site.
