Intercom Turns Fin Into a Developer Platform
Three years after launching its Fin customer service agent, Intercom is opening it up to third-party developers via an API.

Anthropic’s Demand Problem Is a Good Problem—Until It Isn’t
Has Anthropic’s “Fail Whale” moment arrived?

Jentic Is Betting That AI’s Biggest Problem Is Your APIs
