Fin Vision means solving issues faster by letting your customers show, not tell. Fin can read and understand images—like screenshots, invoices, and error messages—so customers can share what they see without lengthy explanations.

  • Fin instantly analyzes customer-shared images to diagnose issues, provide solutions, or capture key details.

  • Fin automatically extracts text content, UI elements, reference numbers, and error messages from images.

  • Fin responds to images sent via chat or email.

  • Fin understands context across photos, screenshots, and GIFs customers share.


How to use Fin Vision

Fin Vision is automatically enabled when you set Fin AI Agent live over chat or email—no configuration required.

Understanding context

Fin intelligently distinguishes between:
