Problem

Intercom's sales reps spent hours preparing customer insight decks and researching contacts before outreach.

Approach

Intercom built a Sales Cockpit on Snowflake. Cortex AI analyzes customer profiles and sentiment and writes summary decks for sales reps. An AI agent workflow researches each contact before a rep reviews the result. Sales reps can also run their own language model analysis.

Results

30 secondsfor the AI agent research workflow on outbound emails, down from about 40 minutes, per SnowflakeVendor case study[1]
less than 10 minutesto prepare an insight deck, down from 3 to 4 hours, per SnowflakeVendor case study[1]
more than 2,000 hourssaved per month, per SnowflakeVendor case study[1]

Takeaway

The time saved came from research and deck preparation, the steps before a rep speaks to a customer. Daily use was 35% of reps and weekly use was 55%.
