    AI-powered triage has improved support efficiency and enables faster global ticket resolution

    Reviewed on Feb 09, 2026
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    What is our primary use case?

    Our main use case for Forethought  is to enhance customer support efficiency by leveraging AI-driven automation for faster resolution, improved ticket triaging, and better knowledge management. As an IT service provider supporting a global customer base, Forethought  helps us reduce response time, improve customer experience, and enable our support team to focus on more complex and high-value issues.

    We use Forethought for automated ticket triage and intent detection. During a recent surge in cloud infra incidents, it correctly classified and routed tickets to the right resolver groups, reducing manual triage and significantly improving first response and resolution times.

    What is most valuable?

    Forethought's strengths lie in AI-driven ticket triage, intent classification, automated routing, along with Agent Assist for real-time recommendation. It integrates directly with our cloud and our service desks to reduce manual effort, improve SLA compliance, and scale support operations effectively.

    The Agent Assist feature uses AI to analyze incoming tickets and agent activity in real-time and then suggests relevant responses, internal KB articles, resolutions, and next steps, which helps our engineers achieve faster ticket resolution. It helps our support team by reducing lookup time, increasing accuracy, and speeding up resolution, especially for complex cloud or infrastructure issues where content matters. It auto-suggests relevant KB content based on ticket context and helps us maintain consistent answers across global teams.

    Forethought has positively impacted my organization by reducing initial ticket triage to AI-based intent detection and routing tickets appropriately, as well as improving first response and resolution time. It has helped maintain SLA compliance while scaling and increasing agent efficiency and consistency across global support teams.

    What needs improvement?

    Forethought could be improved with deeper customization of intent models and more granular control over confidence thresholds. Enhanced visibility into AI decision logic and tighter native integrations with enterprise ITSM  tools would further strengthen its effectiveness.

    Additional improvements would include finer control over AI confidence scoring, better handling of complex multi-issue tickets, and deeper native integration with enterprise ITSM  and monitoring tools to further streamline end-to-end workflows.

    A minor improvement would be faster module tuning for environment-specific use cases and more flexible admin-level controls.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Forethought for two years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Forethought is stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Forethought is scalable. Currently, we are using it for just the support team, but we are planning to integrate it with our other teams as well. Forethought's scalability has been good so far.

    How are customer service and support?

    The customer support is good, and the technical team is knowledgeable with very good response times. However, response times are quite delayed sometimes for complex issues.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    We did not use a different solution prior to Forethought. This was our first AI-based solution we procured.

    How was the initial setup?

    From the technical stakeholder perspective, pricing and licensing were handled by the procurement and sales team. From my side, setup effort was reasonable and onboarding was straightforward with minimal impact on existing support workflows.

    What was our ROI?

    While we do not track ROI directly in engineering, we have seen clear efficiency gains through reduced manual triage, faster response times, and improved SLA adherence, indicating a positive operational ROI without additional headcount.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    We had a POC for a different vendor, but we did not formally evaluate other options before choosing Forethought. The POC with the other vendor did not reach completion.

    What other advice do I have?

    I would advise you to start with a clear, defined use case, such as whether you want to have ticket triage or Agent Assist. Also, ensure clean historical ticket data for training and integrate Forethought tightly with your ITSM workflow to maximize impact. I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Public Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

    What do you like best about the product?
    The assistance from the POV and Implementation Teams. They are terrific.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    It is a bit complicated, but I suspect the more we use it, the more comfortable we will be with it.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Lack of manpower at a L1 level and too much context switching for our more senior subject matter experts looking at the flurry of simpler tickets coming in.

    Solid AI tool that keeps improving fast

    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I love how Forethought speeds up support by really understanding user intent and automating key steps in the flow. It makes CX smoother, reduces manual work, and helps agents find the right answers faster. Plus, the team behind it is super hands-on and collaborative, you feel like they’re building the solution with you, not just selling it.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Honestly, it’s pretty easy to use. The only thing I notice sometimes is a delay in when updated info gets reflected in the system. If the refresh time were faster, it’d feel even more seamless.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Forethought is taking repetitive CX tasks off our plate and helping users solve things on their own faster. That frees up our team for more complex cases, improves accuracy, and gives customers a smoother experience end-to-end.
