About
Forethought is an AI customer support platform (multi-agent system: Discover, Solve, Triage, QA, Copilot) acquired by Zendesk, with the deal completing March 26, 2026. Sold since June 2026 as "Forethought AI agents by Zendesk," integrated into Zendesk's support suite rather than operating as a fully independent product.
In-Depth Review
Forethought automates customer support operations through a multi-agent system: Discover (surfaces insights/knowledge gaps from support interactions), Solve (omnichannel AI agent for chat/email/voice), Triage (auto-classifies and routes tickets), QA Agent (scores human agent interactions), and an AI Copilot for real-time agent assistance.
Ownership change (2026): Zendesk announced its acquisition of Forethought on March 11, 2026, and completed the deal March 26, 2026. Zendesk made the Forethought product available for purchase as "Forethought AI agents by Zendesk" starting June 4, 2026 — it now sits inside Zendesk's resolution platform rather than as a standalone company offering. Existing customers (Upwork, Grammarly, Datadog, Instacart among them pre-acquisition) continue to be served through this integrated product.
Pricing: Not published; Zendesk sells it as part of its support suite via sales-assisted quotes.
