Intercom Outbound Message Search Too Weak to Find Sent Campaigns

AI Support Bot Fails to Retrieve Existing Help Article Answers

Support AI bots like Intercom Fin fail to surface correct answers even when the relevant help article explicitly exists and users query with exact article titles. The failure happens at the retrieval/matching layer, not content gaps, leaving customers without resolution and eroding trust in AI support. This affects any business that has deployed AI-first support and invested in documentation.
