Boost AI

What Boost AI does

Boost AI AS (doing business as boost.ai) is a Norwegian enterprise software company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Sandnes, Norway, that builds a conversational AI platform purpose-built for regulated industries. The platform combines a proprietary deterministic Natural Language Understanding (NLU) intent engine with generative large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4, orchestrated through an AI Orchestration Layer that separates routing from execution, alongside an Automatic Semantic Understanding (ASU) safety algorithm, a self-learning intent recommendation engine, and Agentic AI capabilities for autonomous multi-step actions such as fund transfers, claims processing and service provisioning. The platform supports chat, voice (including the recently launched Adaptive Voice modality), real-time multilingual translation, and a no-code conversation builder, and integrates natively with enterprise systems including Salesforce, ServiceNow, Genesys, Zendesk, Twilio, WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Azure AD, UiPath and SAML-based identity providers.

The company monetizes via enterprise SaaS subscriptions priced in the $10,000–$50,000+ per month band typical for regulated conversational AI platforms, sold through a direct enterprise field-sales motion and a partner channel (system integrators, managed services providers and technology partners including Speechmatics, Natilik and Eckoh). It targets four primary verticals — financial services, insurance, telecommunications and the public sector — and claims 550+ live AI agents in production, 130+ million automated conversations platform-wide, 9 of 10 Norwegian banks, 118 Norwegian and Danish municipalities and named customers including DNB, Nordea, Telenor, Tryg, Vodafone, Vipps, Hallon, PLAY Airlines, MSU Federal Credit Union and Aker BP. Compliance posture is SOC 2 Type II (zero exceptions), ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and ISAE 3402, and the company was named a 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader and QKS Group SPARK Matrix Leader for Conversational AI Platforms.
