SaaS support teams handle billing disputes, subscription changes, account access queries, and churn-risk conversations — often at high volume and with direct revenue consequences when the AI gets something wrong.
FortiVault and FortiAgent give SaaS support teams governed AI automation: live Stripe and Salesforce data in every response, category-level accuracy measurement, and automation gating that ensures billing queries are only automated when accuracy in that category has been proven.
The SaaS Support Problem
In SaaS, a wrong AI response on a billing query does not just create a support ticket — it creates a churn risk. A customer who receives incorrect information about their plan, their invoice, or their account status loses confidence in the product. If that happens repeatedly, they leave.
AI customer support platforms that expand automation into billing queries before validating accuracy in that category are trading short-term deflection rate for long-term retention risk. The resolution rate goes up; so does the number of customers who were told something wrong.
FortiVault's AI Trust Score measures billing accuracy independently of FAQ accuracy. Automation in billing is gated by FortiAgent's actual measured performance in billing — not by overall resolution rate benchmarks or general AI confidence scores.
SaaS Support Query Types
Different SaaS support query types carry different governance requirements. FortiVault's per-category gating means each type has its own accuracy threshold and automation policy.
Charge queries, plan changes, failed payments, upgrade/downgrade requests
FortiVault gates billing automation at a higher accuracy threshold. Live Stripe data is retrieved per query — no stale knowledge base responses on payment status.
Seat management, user roles, SSO configuration, account ownership changes
Account changes are logged at the decision level. Any change category can be set to mandatory human review, with FortiAgent drafting the response for agent approval before sending.
Cancellation requests, downgrade intent, contract termination
Cancellation queries can be routed to human review automatically — FortiAgent identifies the intent, FortiVault holds the response, and the retention team handles the conversation.
How-to queries, feature availability, integration support, documentation
Lower-risk FAQ queries can be automated earlier. Per-category gating means product FAQ automation does not need to wait for billing governance to be configured first.
Initial configuration, data migration questions, API setup, workspace creation
Grounded responses from your configured knowledge base — no hallucinated setup steps, no responses from general model training. FortiAgent answers only from what you have configured.
Live Data
Every FortiAgent response to a billing or account query retrieves live data from your connected systems before answering. Customers get accurate, current information — not a knowledge base answer that may be out of date.
Connector calls are logged as part of the audit trail. Every response shows which API was called, what parameters were sent, and what the system returned — so you can trace any AI decision back to its data source.

The Governance Layer
FortiAgent handles AI execution — retrieving knowledge, calling connectors, generating grounded responses. FortiVault evaluates every response before it reaches the customer.
AI Trust Score
Continuously updated accuracy score per support category. Billing has its own score, independent of product FAQ or onboarding.
Automation Gating
Each category has an accuracy threshold. Below it, responses require human review. Above it, automation runs. Configurable per category, adjustable at any time.

Every AI decision logged at the decision level — knowledge source, connector call, rule applied, outcome. Accessible to support admins without raw log access.
Common Questions
FortiVault measures FortiAgent's accuracy in billing queries independently of other categories. Billing automation is only enabled when accuracy in that specific category meets the configured threshold. When accuracy drops — due to new query patterns, stale knowledge, or connector data changes — FortiVault automatically moves billing responses to human review before any more customers are affected.
Cancellation queries can be configured in either direction. If you want every cancellation attempt reviewed by a retention specialist before any action is taken, FortiVault can enforce that as a mandatory review category regardless of Trust Score. If you want routine cancellations handled automatically once accuracy is proven, that threshold can be configured independently. The decision is yours and is reversible at any time.
FortiAgent calls the Stripe API through a registered connector before responding to any billing or subscription query. The connector retrieves current subscription status, payment history, and plan details in real time — so responses reflect the actual account state, not a cached knowledge base entry. Every connector call is logged in the FortiVault audit trail.
FortiAgent is bounded by configuration — it cannot answer from general model training data. If a query cannot be answered from configured knowledge sources or live connector data, FortiAgent acknowledges this and routes the query to a human agent rather than generating a plausible-sounding but unconfigured response.
