  • This is The Guardian.

  • AI is transforming sales, support, and every customer interaction in between.

  • But too often, you're sold a different AI agent for every job.

  • That changes with FIN.

  • FIN is a single customer agent that works across the entire customer journey.

  • From qualifying sales leads to resolving support issues,

  • FIN works across teams, carrying context from one conversation to the next.

  • Meet the agent, making perfect customer experiences possible at fin.ai.

  • You've probably been putting off your will or trust for years.

  • Not because you don't care.

  • Because hourly rates and a visit to an attorney's office haven't made it any easier.

  • LegalZoom changed that.

  • Start your will or trust online today with an independent

  • attorney available to help if you want one without the hourly rates.

  • When you need a legal hand, visit LegalZoom.

  • LegalZoom provides access to independent attorneys and self-service tools.

  • LegalZoom is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.

  • Welcome to The Guardian Long Read, showcasing the best long-form journalism, covering culture, politics,

  • and new thinking.
