BrainSite vs. Intercom: public agent or customer service platform?

Intercom is a customer service platform whose Fin AI Agent works across service, sales, and ecommerce workflows. BrainSite is a public AI profile for answering questions about a person or business, qualifying interest, and directing visitors. Intercom suits established customer operations. BrainSite suits a focused public presence without a full support platform.
