How Intercom rose from the ashes by betting everything on AI | Eoghan McCabe (founder and CEO)

Lennys Podcast • August 21, 2025

Eoghan McCabe recounts how he salvaged Intercom by slashing 40% of its workforce, overhauling its values, and investing $100 million to pivot to an AI-first model with Fin—an agent built just six weeks after GPT-3.5 that’s driven 300%+ growth and is poised to hit $100 million ARR in under three quarters.

Key Takeaways:

  • Intercom endured five straight quarters of net new ARR decline, prompting McCabe’s “wartime” return to cut 40% of staff, rewrite company values, and back an AI-first strategy with a $100 million investment.
  • Six weeks after GPT-3.5’s release, Intercom’s ML team delivered Fin’s beta; Fin grew from $1 million to $12 million ARR in its first year and now posts mid-eight-figure ARR at over 300% annual growth.
  • Intercom wrote off $50 million in legacy ARR to replace complex pricing with a simple outcome-based model, charging $0.99 per ticket resolved by Fin—roughly one-twentieth of industry rates—to boost resolution rates and customer loyalty.
