Forethought is an enterprise-grade, multi-agent AI platform purpose-built for customer experience (CX) operations. It exposes a Solve API (Enterprise tier) and an Analytics API (Enterprise tier) for headless and programmatic integration, enabling teams to embed AI resolution capabilities directly into custom surfaces beyond native channel connectors. The agent system is trained on historical support tickets and help center content, powering downstream workflows including autoflows, triage/classification, knowledge gap detection, and QA. Native integrations are available for Zendesk, Slack, Email, and Voice. All pricing tiers are quote-based; API access is gated to the Enterprise plan.
