# Peeve vs Forethought

Canonical: https://peeve.ai/vs/forethought/

Forethought is an AI support platform that deflects, triages and assists on tickets in your helpdesk, resolving common questions before they reach an agent. Peeve is a full in-product support agent that resolves the requests users get stuck on by moving through your real interface: it shows the user the control and clicks it, before a ticket is ever created. Forethought's strength is helpdesk-side AI: deflection, triage and agent assist across your ticket queue. Peeve's strength is a full support agent that resolves requests in-product by motion, before the queue exists.

## Resolving in the product versus working the queue

Forethought works on the helpdesk: it deflects common questions, triages and routes incoming tickets, and assists human agents across email and chat. Peeve is a full support agent that works before the ticket exists, inside the product, resolving the request by moving the cursor to the control and clicking it. Forethought works the queue after the fact; Peeve keeps requests out of it.

## Deflecting with content versus showing on screen

Forethought deflects from help center content, which drifts as the product changes and describes rather than performs. Peeve reads the live interface each session, heals renames automatically, and shows the path on screen, and can take a backend action behind a confirmation. For a request a user is stuck on, motion resolves it in the product rather than deflecting it in the queue.

## Fewer tickets, worked from context

Peeve resolves requests inside the product so they never open a ticket, and hands off the rest with intent, steps, confidence and a replay. If you run Forethought, it then deflects, triages and assists on the tickets that do arrive, which are the harder ones, and your human team starts from context rather than a cold form.

## Is Peeve a Forethought alternative?

Peeve is a full support agent that resolves requests inside the product before a ticket is created, while Forethought deflects and triages tickets already in your helpdesk. Peeve can stand on its own; if you also run Forethought, it works the tickets that remain.

## How does Peeve work with Forethought?

Peeve resolves support requests end to end inside your product, and escalates only what needs a person with the intent, steps, confidence and a session replay, where Forethought then triages and assists. Peeve reduces the queue; Forethought works it.

## How is Peeve different from Forethought?

Forethought works the helpdesk queue with deflection, triage and agent assist at scale, a different job from in-product support. Peeve is the AI product support agent that resolves requests end to end inside the product by motion before they become tickets, and escalates only what needs a person. For in-product support Peeve is the tool, and it shrinks the queue Forethought has to triage.

## Does Forethought publish pricing?

No, Forethought is sales-led. Peeve publishes its plans (Starter $40, Growth $199, Scale $499) and offers a 14-day trial with no card and no call, so the cost is legible without a quote.

## Can Peeve act inside my product where Forethought can't?

Yes. Forethought deflects and assists on the ticket; Peeve moves the cursor to the control in the live UI and clicks it, and can take a backend action behind a confirmation step, which is resolution in the product rather than in the queue.
