Migration FAQ

Are historical conversations imported?

No, conversations stay in Intercom. Animam starts with a clean history.

Can I use both in parallel?

Technically yes, but not recommended (user confusion). Prefer a clean switch.

Can my support team intervene?

Currently, Animam is 100% AI. Human handoff is planned for a future version.

What about Intercom custom bots/workflows?

Animam focuses on AI conversation. Complex workflows will need to be rethought or handled differently.
