Improve how Fin AI Agent handles this customer question in the future

Once you understand which sources Fin AI Agent used to answer that particular question, there are two options to improve how Fin handles the same question in the future: Create a new snippet, or update your existing content.

Create Snippet

You can also directly update the existing source content Fin used to generate the answer, including:

  • Intercom Articles
