Senior Manager, End User Support Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 8/15/2024 "Efficient Setup and Insightful Analytics with Forethought" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Forethought? I like that the back-end setup with Forethought is easy to accomplish, allowing us to enable a client on Lumi Chat within one business day or less. I appreciate how finding insights on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis is straightforward, making it easy to grab last month's data and update my reports quickly. Another thing I appreciate is the responsiveness of the FT team in our shared Slack channel for requests, updates, or issues, helping us manage our operations smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Forethought? The initial design/setup philosophy (deflection first) makes it hard to dig into large scale trends or issue identification for product improvements. Handling large datasets manually for analysis has been a challenge. Implementing a CSAT survey highlighted structural and workflow issues that need addressing to improve CSAT trends. The recently added AI Studio is very promising for being able to review large conversation data sets and come up with actionable solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Forethought solving and how is that benefiting you? Forethought provides self-service support, reducing human intervention, and offers 24/7 service through Solve. The spam triage cuts manual spam ticket reviews. It enables quick client setup and easy analytics for reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can quickly surface relevant information and handle repetitive questions, which saves the team time and lets us focus more on complex customer issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Forethought? One area that could be improved is the accuracy and consistency of responses in more complex or nuanced situations. Occasionally, it may need human review or additional context to provide the best answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Forethought solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm very impressed with Forethought's capability to not only provide information from our help center but also to tailor specific responses for customer questions that might not be as easily written in a help center format. I can use their auto flow technology to build out custom responses for customers and take specific actions if necessary. Forethought's been really easy to work with and configure. It meets the needs of our customers twenty-four seven. Forethought came to the forefront as being the most accurate and easy to work with among many tools we tried. It was also the most responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Forethought? Forethought typically has a higher than expected learning curve, making it a bit challenging to get ramped up and know exactly how to implement it best for specific use cases. They're still working on the documentation, and I wish it were a little bit easier to onboard and discuss the technology in meaningful ways that could be universal for people from different industries.

Senior Content Strategist Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/8/2025 "An AI product that truly helps" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Forethought? Forethought's chat widget is a valuable tool that allows our Customer Support team to proactively solve over 70% of inbound support cases. Our customers use it everyday. The integration implementation and process of improving the chat widget's accuracy is straight-forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Forethought? Analytics dashboards can be a bit messy and some of their native features only get you the partial functionality that you want to have. For instance, I bring data from Forethought into Airtable in order to test, implement, and track improvements over time in a scalable way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Forethought solving and how is that benefiting you? Our product is complex and it requires some in-depth understanding to use it well. This means that our customers run into a lot of bespoke issues. Our goal in using Forethought is to help as many customers as possible self serve their needs based on the information in our knowledge base. Our knowledge base represents basic setup steps, limitations, dependencies, and frequently asked questions. By scoping the Forethought widget to that foundation of knowledge, we are able to govern AI responses and improve our knowledge over time as we spot gaps when customers have poor interactions with the chat bot.
