Signed June 15, the deal adds about 30K AI customers and Fin's "Apex" support model, which resolves queries across chat, email, WhatsApp, SMS, phone, and Slack. It complements Agentforce, which hit $1.2B ARR in Q1 FY27, up 205% year over year. AI customer service is consolidating into the big platforms fast, and the standalone-agent startups are becoming acquisition targets, not category winners.
