## Source excerpt

We use intercom.io for our website support system you can see it as the chat button on the bottom right of the page. The true value of this tool is in its ability to deliver a unified interface everywhere, normally this stretches into native mobile apps as well. As a result we decided to port the native intercom device API to Codename One so it will be easy to deploy everywhere.
