Support, product feedback and sales questions all land in the same Intercom inbox
Caveats
Needs an Intercom workspace that can send webhooks (plan UNKNOWN), an OpenAI API key, ClickUp and Slack. Customer messages are sent to OpenAI. Conversations classified as Other get no action, so check that bucket regularly so nothing is dropped.

Setup estimates are rough guesses for someone comfortable with the tools who already has the accounts and API keys. Real time is unknown until tested.
