Overview

Fin 3 transforms AI from a simple Q&A chatbot into a true customer agent — one that can execute workflows, operate across channels, and handle complex multi-step processes.

Key upgrades:

  • Procedures for workflow automation

  • Simulation testing before deployment

  • Expanded channel support

  • Advanced analytics and insights


Procedures: AI That Takes Action

Fin can now execute step-by-step workflows, not just answer questions.

What Fin 3 can handle:

Task

How It Works

Order investigation

Looks up order status, shipping, delivery issues

Identity verification

Confirms customer identity before sensitive actions

Refund processing

Checks eligibility, initiates refund, confirms with customer

Cancellation requests

Follows your cancellation policy, processes or escalates

Eligibility checks

Verifies warranty, return windows, subscription status

This means fewer manual handoffs and faster resolution for routine requests.


Simulation Testing

Test AI behavior before it reaches customers.

What you can validate:

  • Edge cases and unusual scenarios

  • Decision paths and branching logic

  • Compliance with your policies

  • Tone and response quality

Why it matters: For regulated industries or complex products, simulation testing prevents costly mistakes and ensures consistent behavior.


Expanded Channel Support

Fin 3 works across more channels than ever:

  • Web chat

  • Mobile apps

  • Email

  • SMS

  • WhatsApp

  • Voice

  • Slack

  • Discord

One AI agent, one knowledge base, consistent experience everywhere.
