## About

Forethought is an AI agent platform for customer support teams. Its agents answer customer questions, resolve issues end to end, classify incoming tickets, and assist human agents while they work. The company describes the product as agentic AI, meaning the agents reason about a request and take action under the business's own policies rather than only matching questions to articles.

The platform is built from several agents. A Solve agent handles customer issues across chat, email, voice and Slack. A Triage agent classifies tickets with sentiment, intent and spam models and routes each one to the right place. A Discover agent looks at real conversations to find knowledge gaps and suggests articles to write. A QA agent scores support interactions, and an agentic copilot gives human agents suggested replies and next steps inside their helpdesk.

The page says the agents learn from a company's past tickets and help center content. It also says the product works with existing helpdesks and CX platforms, and that Forethought has been acquired by Zendesk.

The service is aimed at businesses, particularly support teams at enterprises, with use cases listed for SaaS, ecommerce and retail, fintech, and operations teams. The company says it publishes customer results, including a 2025 benchmark report, a 15x average return on investment and up to a 98% resolution rate for some customers. Those figures come from the company's own marketing and are not independently verified here.

Pricing is set in four parts: Team, Professional and Enterprise plans, each with a Get a Quote button, plus paid add-ons for multibrand management, analytics API access and Discover. The page does not state a dollar price, so no starting price is listed. Buyers can request a demo or try a proof of concept.
