The story

Founded in 2012 as SaleMove, the company pioneered co-browsing and live engagement tools for enterprise websites. It rebranded as Glia in 2019 and pivoted to become a Unified Interaction Management platform specifically targeting financial institutions — banks, credit unions, and other FIs. By 2023-2025, Glia executed a further pivot toward AI-native banking automation, launching an 'AI Workforce' (Glia Banker and CoPilot) and positioning itself as a Banking AI Platform with a contractual guarantee against hallucinations, serving 700+ financial institutions.
