How it works

Our virtual agent has run the numbers on England's chances and committed to a prediction. Simply click the bot in the bottom left corner of the screen, enter your own prediction, and then hear its call and the reasoning behind it. All you need to do is better the prediction, and you could be in with a chance of winning.

What you could win

Dinner for you and a guest at Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay in Manchester. The only catch, in the spirit of fun, is that the Fortay team will be joining you. Beat the bot's prediction and we will be in touch - good luck!

“Saved us from an expensive mistake”

We had vendors trying to sell us something we didn’t understand. Fortay Connect were different - they were completely impartial and focused on finding what we actually needed. They took all the technical jargon and made it simple to understand the real business impact.

More importantly, he caught things we would have completely missed. On paper, everything looked similar, but Fortay knew what looked similar wasn’t actually similar. The expertise probably saved us from making a very expensive mistake.

“Made complex decisions manageable”

We thought we just needed to upgrade our phone system. Fortay Connect helped us see we were thinking way too small. They walked us through what modern platforms can actually do, translated all the technical jargon into real business value, and completely transformed how we interact with clients.

What really stood out was how they made complex decisions feel manageable, instead of pushing a solution, they helped us understand what was actually possible - then stuck around to make sure we got real value from it. Without their expertise, we would have upgraded to another basic phone system and missed this huge opportunity.

What is Beat the Bot?

A bit of World Cup fun. We asked our AI virtual agent one question, when do England get knocked out, and it gave us a confident answer with its reasoning. Now we are challenging you to call it better.

How do I take part?

Have a chat with the bot on this page. It gives you its prediction and why, then asks for yours. Pop in your details to enter and you are done, all in under a minute.

How do I win?

Get closer than the bot to how England's tournament actually plays out. We will be watching the results and will be in touch with the winner.

What is the prize?

Dinner for you and a guest at Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay in Manchester. The only catch is that the Fortay team will be joining you. We never said it was a completely free lunch.

Do I need to know my football?

Not at all. It is meant to be a laugh. Trust your gut, or let the bot talk you into something.

Is the bot's prediction actually serious?

It is having fun, but it is reasoning from real data, not guessing. That is rather the point: it is a small taste of the kind of AI virtual agent we help businesses put to work for real.

What will you do with my details?

We use them to run the competition and, if you opt in, to send the occasional update on AI for contact centres. Nothing else, and you can opt out any time. Full detail is in our privacy policy.

What exactly does Fortay Connect do?

Entries close on 26th June. We will let everyone know how their prediction held up once England's tournament is settled.
