It’s called Autoflows, and it’s here now for Forethought’s AI Agent.
Customer support AI has rapidly changed many industries as support teams seek ways to improve efficiency, enhance customer experience, and stay ahead of the competition. As AI technology advances, it has become increasingly clear that an autonomous, AI-first approach is the future of customer support.
We’re excited about this revolutionary advancement, already creating better experiences for customers and the teams that support them. A pivotal moment has arrived, with a unique opportunity for businesses seeking a competitive advantage to embrace an autonomous future.
The History of Customer Support Automation
For years, legacy platforms provided essential tools for managing customer interactions, such as manual workflows, task-oriented policies, and ticket-based systems. While these features have served their purpose in the past, they fall short when addressing the demands of today’s fast-paced world.
The Need for Evolution to Autonomy
AI-first companies lead the way as support teams strive to deliver exceptional customer service and drive loyalty. The shift from automation to autonomy is crucial in achieving goal-oriented and results-focused customer support rather than being limited by task-oriented processes. However, one significant barrier stands in the way – manual workflows.
Manual workflows hinder organizations from fully embracing an AI-first future due to their time-consuming nature and lack of scalability. This barrier is shattered by Forethought’s AI Agent platform and Autoflows functionality.
Introduction of Autoflows
So, what exactly is Autoflows? It’s a groundbreaking concept introduced by Forethought and built into our AI Agent. Customer support agents can specify their desired issue resolution outcomes in plain, natural language instead of relying on complicated decision trees or predefined rulesets. Autoflows then uses AI to accurately determine the steps needed to reach those desired outcomes efficiently.
Autoflows efficiently handles manual customer support inquiries, responses, and resolutions by leveraging AI to predict customer needs and complete repetitive tasks. This saves agents time and energy, allowing them to focus on more complex issues and move beyond simple task-oriented processes.
By shifting from automation to autonomy, Autoflows empowers customer support teams to navigate complex processes on autopilot and satisfy customers more dynamically. An autonomous-first approach opens up possibilities for enhancing performance, improving customer experience, and driving efficiency gains.

Benefits of Autonomous Customer Support AI
Faster, More Precise Performance
Autoflows revolutionizes problem resolution by enabling faster and more accurate responses. It learns from your historical data, allowing it to understand customer needs dynamically. Forethought’s AI Agent, with the autonomous intelligence of Autoflows, equips support agents with the right information at the right time. As a result, issues are resolved more efficiently, leading to improved metrics such as reduced handle time and increased first-call resolution rates.
Immediate Improvement in Customer Experience
With Autoflows, interactions between support agents and customers become smoother and more natural. The generative AI platform understands context and provides intelligent suggestions that help agents deliver personalized solutions. The result is a seamless customer experience that leaves a lasting impression.
Imagine anticipating your customers’ needs before they even articulate them. That’s the power of Autoflows – it enables your support team to provide proactive assistance based on real-time insights.
Faster Time to Value for Support Teams and Customers
One of the significant advantages of Autoflows is its ability to deliver quicker issue resolution without relying on complicated decision trees or manual workflows. By automating repetitive tasks and streamlining workflows, support agents can focus on solving complex problems rather than getting caught up in mundane administrative work.
The tangible efficiency gains achieved through Autoflows benefit your customers and empower your support team to do their best work efficiently.
Industry Implications
The introduction of Autoflows poses significant risks for traditional platforms of record that rely on manual workflows and ticket-based systems. These outdated approaches are becoming increasingly irrelevant in an era where autonomy and AI-driven solutions are paramount.
As businesses embrace the power of Autoflows, they gain a competitive edge by delivering exceptional customer experiences, enhancing operational efficiency, and redefining industry business models. It marks a turning point in the customer support landscape – the end of manual workflows and the beginning of an autonomous future.
What’s Next?
We’re witnessing a transformative leap forward in the customer support industry. By shifting from manual, task-oriented systems to intelligent, goal-oriented ones, businesses can radically improve performance, customer experience, and operational standards. This groundbreaking advancement challenges traditional CRM platforms and signals the dawn of an era defined by autonomy in customer support.
