AI has gone from possible to inevitable to certain. Now, it’s up to us to define what comes next. At our first-ever AI customer service summit, Pioneer, I delivered a talk about how the generative AI revolution is impacting the software industry. TL;DR: This AI transformation is getting real.

I’m excited to announce that Fin 2, our latest generation of Fin AI Agent, is powered by Anthropic’s Claude, one of the most sophisticated Large Language Models (LLMs) available today. We build product at the very boundary of what’s possible in AI customer service, and our collaboration with Anthropic is a big step forward for us. With Claude we get intelligence, performance, and reliability that lets us deliver even more value to our customers with Fin.
