DELIVERING RESULTS

Why Notch Over Alternatives

Managed Implementation Vs. Self Service

With Notch you receive a dedicated Implementation Manager, Agent Product Manager and Full-Stack Developer for implementation. With Forethought, you need to self-serve. While most AI projects fail at implementation, our clients are reaching 70%+ automation resolving complex procedures.

56%
Higher resolution rate than other solutions

Resolution Vs. Deflection

Notch only charges for resolved tickets, according to your definition of resolved. By comparison, Forethought charges based on deflections, even if the customer abandons the conversation after a poor experience. Our success is directly aligned with yours and we have CX at the core of what we build.

61%
Support opex reduction

Realistic Vs. Optimistic

At Notch, we’re clear about what success requires - the resources, timeline, and outcomes. And we back it up with an automation guarantee. Forethought promises “enterprise-ready agents in minutes” that are “fully trained on your historical data” ready from day one. It sounds good, but with 95% of AI projects failing those claims are more often red flags than reality.
