The story

Founded 2021 in Zurich as an AI-powered sales conversation intelligence platform (recording, transcribing, analyzing sales calls).

Now serves clients like Pictet, LGT, Julius Bär, Standard Chartered, and UBP with financial AI agents, secure RAG, and an MCP Hub. Not an embedded finance company itself — an AI infrastructure vendor TO financial institutions.
