boost.ai comes from Sandnes, Norway, where founder Lars Ropeid Selsås started in 2016 by automating customer interactions for a local bank. That origin explains everything about the product: it is conversational AI built for institutions that cannot afford a creative answer, and Nordic banks and insurers were the proving ground. Customers today include Nordea, Santander, DNB, Telenor, Vodafone, and Metro Bank, and the platform claims more than 600 live AI agents handling over 150 million automated conversations a year.
Technically, boost.ai's signature move is the hybrid: deterministic natural-language understanding that behaves predictably at thousands of intents, combined with generative AI where flexibility helps, all wrapped in governance controls. That lets a compliance officer sign off on what the agent is allowed to say while the agent still handles the long tail of phrasing real customers use. It covers chat and voice, integrates with contact-center platforms like Genesys, Five9, and Amazon Connect, and even supports Nordic authentication systems like BankID, a detail that says a lot about who it serves.
The company took a majority investment from private equity firm Nordic Capital in 2021 and sells the way you would expect an enterprise Scandinavian vendor to sell: quote-based pricing, no public price list, proper procurement. An unusual cultural artifact is its certification program, with thousands of certified AI trainers among its customers' staff, reflecting a philosophy that the client team, not the vendor, should run the agent day to day.
Pick boost.ai if you are a bank, insurer, telco, or public-sector organization that needs high-accuracy automation with auditable behavior. It is not the tool for a startup wanting a widget by Friday; it is the tool for the organization whose regulator reads the transcripts.

Posh AI builds an agentic AI platform for banks and credit unions, covering both sides of the desk. Member facing products include a Voice Assistant for 24/7 phone support, a Digital Assistant for web and mobile chat, Posh Answers for help center search, and Posh Translate for live spoken interpretation. Employee facing tools include a Knowledge Assistant, a training Simulator, and CoachQA for conversation quality and compliance monitoring. All agents run inside Operating Procedures, Posh's framework for pairing LLM flexibility with code level control.
Karan Kashyap and Matt McEachern founded Posh in 2018 out of MIT, where both studied AI, and the Boston company remains independent and active as of mid 2026, with no acquisition on record. It raised a $27.5 million Series A led by Canapi Ventures in December 2021, with credit union industry funds Curql Collective and CMFG Ventures participating, and third party trackers put total funding around $45 million. Posh serves more than 100 financial institutions, including VyStar Credit Union, Citadel Credit Union, Camden National Bank, and Hudson Valley Credit Union. In late 2025 it relaunched Knowledge Assistant as an AI native workspace for agentic action.
Posh publishes no pricing. Everything is quote based per institution, shaped by asset size, products licensed, and integrations. The company leads with customer ROI stories instead, like Citadel's reported $660,000 in annual savings, so treat those as marketing anchors and negotiate accordingly. Expect a demo led sales cycle and implementation work that depends on your telephony and core stack; nothing about the process is self serve.
Choose Posh if you are a community financial institution that wants credible voice and chat automation plus employee copilots from a team that only does banking, with prebuilt hooks into cores like Fiserv, Symitar, and Corelation. Skip it if you are not a bank or credit union, or if you need transparent self serve pricing.
