It’s to accelerate the human decision process.” The conversation also explores data fragmentation, governance and guardrails, infrastructure-scaling challenges, and why companies remain in the early stages of enterprise-wide transformation.

  • Intercom Co-Founder on Outcome-Based AI Pricing Model
    2026/04/07
    “We charged for outcomes with Fin…we’re charging when we did the work properly, and we weren’t charging when we didn’t,” Des Traynor, Intercom’s co-founder and chief strategy officer, tells Anurag Rana, senior technology analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. In this Tech Disruptors episode, Traynor explains why Intercom chose to cannibalize its seat-based support software as a service to launch an AI agent that targets 60–70% resolution, and why outcome pricing changes everything from product design to unit economics. They also dig into what separates resolution from “deflection,” why most companies shouldn’t self-build support agents, how Intercom mixes models — including its own CX models — to optimize quality/cost and why 2026 is about expanding Fin from support into broader customer-facing roles.

The conversation explores how large-language model flexibility plus deterministic workflows are used to reduce “prompt doom loops,” improve latency and manage cost. The discussion also covers how Salesforce is monetizing agents via license bundles and consumption, and why AWUs and session-trace tooling are positioned as budgeting and operational aids for CIOs and CFOs.
