Automation Anywhere acquires Boost.ai to expand enterprise voice AI

Automation Anywhere has agreed to acquire conversational voice AI provider Boost.ai from private-equity firm Nordic Capital. The move extends the company’s vision of an “autonomous enterprise” in which up to 80% of operations run with AI assistance.

Boost.ai’s technology focuses on voice-driven automation, and its models have been used in customer-facing applications. Automation Anywhere may look to incorporate these capabilities into its platform, potentially enabling voice interactions alongside its existing automation tools.

The acquisition comes amid growing interest in voice AI for enterprise use cases, where reliability and compliance are often key considerations. Earlier this month, we reported on Vocca’s $20 million raise for automating patient phone calls—a sector where accuracy is critical. Boost.ai’s enterprise-oriented approach could help address similar challenges, particularly in industries where voice interactions are common.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Automation Anywhere has previously expanded its AI capabilities through acquisitions, and this acquisition appears to mark its entry into voice-specific technology. Integrating Boost.ai’s models into existing workflows may present technical and operational challenges as the company scales its AI-driven automation efforts.
