Overview
Forethought is a customer-support AI platform covering resolution, routing and quality.
What Forethought does
Forethought provides AI agents for customer support across chat, email, voice and embedded experiences. The platform uses the organization’s knowledge and policies to resolve requests, route tickets and support the people handling exceptions.
Solve handles customer issues, Triage classifies and directs tickets, Discover identifies knowledge gaps and operational opportunities, and QA evaluates support interactions. A copilot supports human agents within their workflow.
The products are designed to work with a customer’s existing CX platform and connected systems. Teams can combine automated resolution with human escalation and quality review. Forethought’s current site identifies the company as part of Zendesk, adding that ownership context to its independent product history.
