Which one fits your team

Choose Intercom if

  • You run a support team on email, phone and WhatsApp as well as chat, and need a full helpdesk with tickets and SLAs.
  • You want a vendor-managed AI agent and are happy to pay per resolution.
  • You need enterprise reporting, workflows and an app marketplace.

Choose 2pm.space if

  • Your customers write on Messenger, Zalo or in Facebook comments, and often buy in the chat.
  • You want to pay neither per seat nor per resolution.
  • You want to build the agent yourself — its prompt, tools, knowledge and workflow — and see every step it took.

On 2pm.space, yes: a simple agent is a prompt with tools and knowledge, and an agentic one is a graph of retrieval, tool, evaluation and human-review steps you draw yourself.

Not today. Its channels are Facebook Messenger and comments, personal Zalo, Telegram, Pancake, the website widget and a custom webhook channel.
