Intercom Team Jets into FundedNext for Exclusive AI Collaboration

Intercom Team Jets into FundedNext for Exclusive AI Collaboration

– FundedNext’s proprietary trading expertise informs critical enhancements to Fin AI’s security and compliance capabilities.- Joint workshops delved into complex customer journeys, shaping the future of AI-driven support features.

AJMAN, United Arab Emirates, May 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — On May 7–8, FundedNext hosted Intercom’s senior delegation, led by Phil Moore (Head of Sales Engineering) and Ciaran Nolan (Senior Director, EMEA), for a focused two-day collaboration at FundedNext’s Operations & Support Hub. FundedNext is one of Intercom’s most strategic and high-impact clients globally. The partners leveraged this event to significantly enhance Fin AI, Intercom’s next-generation AI support assistant, by advising on advanced, agentic layers capable of handling personalized, high-volume queries at an unprecedented scale.

FundedNext has been working with Intercom since Fin AI’s early days—nearly a year ago. From the start, they fully integrated Fin, tested it extensively, and pushed its limits through hands-on experimentation. The partnership grew deeper with early access to roadmap features, dedicated engineering support, and participation in closed betas and focused six-week sprints to help refine the product.

Workshop Overview
Over two intensive days, FundedNext and Intercom teams co-built strategies to evolve Fin AI into a sophisticated, agentic support layer. Day one began with a comprehensive review of Fin AI’s business impact at FundedNext, spotlighting significant boosts in productivity and customer satisfaction. This was followed by live demonstrations of advanced features, prompting FundedNext’s leadership to provide deep insights on security protocols, regulatory compliance, and integration priorities informed by extensive operational expertise.

On day two, Intercom’s delegation collaborated directly with FundedNext’s Client Experience team. Together, they analyzed customer scenarios across the spectrum—from basic informational queries to personalized, high-volume, and highly complex cases demanding precise human intervention. These interactive sessions will help to refine Fin AI’s ability to deliver automated and semi-automated workflows tailored specifically to FundedNext’s operational scale.

Both teams committed to industry-leading AI safety protocols and proactive regulatory compliance—ensuring every automated decision is transparent, auditable, and built on iron-clad data protections.

Phil Moore, Head of Sales Engineering at Intercom, said:
“Workshops like these deliver results that months of Slack messages or video calls simply can’t. When we collaborate side by side, ideas flow instantly, alignment happens naturally, and we leave with a shared vision that drives real progress.”

Why FundedNext is the Ultimate Proving Ground for Fin AI
Serving retail traders globally with highly diverse and complex trading programs, FundedNext generates a large volume of data, providing Fin AI with a uniquely challenging environment to rapidly advance its predictive capabilities. Successfully managing FundedNext’s diverse requirements positions Fin AI to perform exceptionally across any global customer support context.

Tanzim Hasan Fahim, VP of Technology at FundedNext, commented:
“At FundedNext, we manage some of the industry’s most demanding environments. Integrating Fin AI requires meticulous execution, particularly around security and compliance. Our close collaboration ensures we’re not just adopting technology, but actively setting standards for how AI transforms customer support.”

Syed Abdullah Galib, Chief Strategy Officer at FundedNext, said:
“Our partnership with Intercom is already robust, but this workshop pushes our collaboration even further. We are co-shaping the future of AI support—leveraging our unique operational scale to finetune agentic solutions capable of handling hundreds of thousands of complex, personalized interactions seamlessly and securely.”

A Generational Breakthrough for Customer Support
This engagement represents a new paradigm in AI-powered customer service—uniting global technology leaders and enterprise innovators to co-build intelligent, agentic support systems. By merging AI-driven efficiency, human expertise, and rigorous security standards, FundedNext and Intercom are defining the future, ensuring every customer interaction is handled with precision, empathy, and unmatched reliability.

About the Partners

Intercom
Intercom enables customer engagement for 30,000+ businesses with a unified platform combining chat, automation, and AI workflows. Its latest roadmap introduces proprietary AI-agent features that blend Fin’s automation with expert human handoffs.

Bitget Gains Market Share in April 2025 Monthly Report Highlights

VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, released its April 2025 Transparency Report, highlighting a month of growth, regulatory milestones, and continued momentum despite broader market uncertainties through consistent innovation and strong execution.

In a month marked by market correction and investor caution, Bitget recorded a futures trading volume of $757.6 billion, representing 17.3% growth month-on-month. Spot trading volume also rose to $68.6 billion, defying the broader industry downturn. These gains contributed to Bitget’s rise as the 3rd largest crypto exchange by trading volume, with a market share of 7.2%, reflecting strong performance and continued momentum in a competitive market environment. According to Coingecko and WuBlockchain, Bitget defied broader exchange trends, gaining market share while others contracted. Bitget also surpassed 120 million users, signaling strong platform engagement and trust in its products and services.

In April, Bitget made a major regulatory leap by securing both DASP and BSP licenses in El Salvador, allowing it to offer full crypto services—spot, derivatives, staking, and yield—under one of the world’s most forward-thinking digital asset frameworks.

The month also marked the launch of Bitget Onchain, a feature that lets users trade on-chain assets directly through the Bitget app using USDT or USDC. This bridges the gap between centralized UX and decentralized access, making Web3 more approachable.

To support institutional growth, Bitget upgraded its Liquidity Incentive Program with better maker-taker rates and faster onboarding, boosting liquidity across spot and derivatives markets.

On the marketing front, Bitget teamed up with FC Barcelona star Raphinha in a global campaign spotlighting smart trading tools like Copy Trading, Launchpool, and Pre-market. This was paired with the “Your Team, Your Skin” initiative with LALIGA, letting users personalize their trading interface with team branding.

Bitget Research Employment Report estimates blockchain could create 500,000 jobs by 2028, echoing the growth path of the AI sector and highlighting blockchain’s expanding impact.

Finally, Bitget reinforced its global presence with immersive activations at TOKEN2049 Dubai and Paris Blockchain Week, including side events like Cryptoverse Dream Night, underscoring its commitment to community and innovation.

Between regulatory wins, rapid user growth, and focus on accessibility and security, Bitget leads as one of the top players in the crypto industry’s evolution. As market sentiment begins to shift, Bitget is geared up to lead the next phase of crypto adoption and WEB3 integration.

The 9 Days and Nights of Festivities Against Victoria Harbour’s Iconic Skyline

To mark the start of Dragon Boat Festival and build up momentum ahead of the races, HKTB is hosting 9 days and nights of action-packed celebrations starting 31 May along the photogenic Avenue of Stars. From 1pm to 10pm daily, visitors can look forward to festive foods, icy-cold beverages, summery sweets and photo opportunities galore with the dazzling harbour as a backdrop.

Find out more details of the event at the Hong Kong Tourism Board’s event website.

A Month of Tradition, Craft and Celebration

Dragon Boat Festival was inscribed by UNESCO on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) of Humanity.
