“Can an AI-native EOR platform replace legacy global HR services by turning labour compliance and international payroll into software?”
Founded in 2022 in Toronto, Borderless AI entered the crowded EOR market with an AI-first differentiation — using generative AI agents to automate employee onboarding, contract generation, and payroll in 170+ countries.
