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.

Has Anthropic’s “Fail Whale” moment arrived?

Jentic Is Betting That AI’s Biggest Problem Is Your APIs
The agents are ready. The pipes aren’t. That’s the uncomfortable reality sitting underneath the AI agent boom.
