Automation Anywhere to acquire Boost.ai

Automation Anywhere has agreed to acquire Boost.ai, a conversational AI company, from the private equity firm Nordic Capital. The deal adds customer-facing chat and voice capabilities to Automation Anywhere's business automation platform. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026. It is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, so it is not yet complete.

Boost.ai serves hundreds of organizations and has a particular presence in Europe. Its customers are concentrated in regulated industries, including insurance, financial services and telecommunications. Its platform supports more than 36 languages and combines natural language understanding with generative and agentic AI to handle customer conversations.

For the Nordic AI scene, the deal means a conversational AI company with a strong European footprint, currently held by Nordic Capital, will move to an automation vendor. Automation Anywhere gains a product aimed at customer conversations, along with Boost.ai's base of customers in sectors where regulation is a central concern. The source gives no further detail on how the two products will be combined or what the price is.
