Intercom × Code for America
Intercom x Code for America, faster benefits access with empathy at scale
80% reduction in time to apply for benefits in Minnesota
Hour-long bureaucratic wait to real-time human connection
Why it works
The case study leads with a concrete efficiency number (80% time reduction in Minnesota) and pairs it with a human dignity frame that makes the stakes feel real. The feedback-loop mechanism, where chat conversations surface product gaps and policy insights back to government agencies, adds a secondary New Capability angle that most support stories lack. The 300% volume surge during COVID provides a clear trigger without requiring the vendor to manufacture drama.
Steal this
The feedback-loop narrative: showing how support conversations flow upstream to improve the product and influence government policy turns a routine helpdesk story into a systems-change story.
