Forethought's Assist boosts human potential with AI by providing your agents with the knowledge and resources to deliver exceptional customer experiences quickly and with a high level of quality. Forethought's AI engine reads your help desk tickets, surfaces historical tickets and knowledge articles, and offers productivity-boosting features like ticket summary, response generation, and automation. This empowers your agents with the necessary tools to improve handling time and customer-centric issue resolutions.
