Eckoh, a global leader in secure customer engagement for human and AI agents, has formed a strategic partnership with boost.ai, a leading provider of AI-powered customer experience solutions. This collaboration combines Eckoh’s patented, PCI DSS Level 1 and SOC2-accredited data and payments security platform with boost.ai’s generative AI agents, enabling enterprises in regulated industries to handle sensitive customer information and payments securely during automated interactions.

  • Eckoh and boost.ai partner to integrate secure data handling and payments into generative AI agents, eliminating risks of sensitive information exposure or breaches.
  • Customers can now share personal details and complete transactions via AI agents with full protection—data is processed securely without being stored or shared.
  • The solution addresses a key barrier in scaling automation: complex, sensitive queries (e.g., payments, account changes) that previously required human intervention.
  • Targeted industries include banking, healthcare, retail, insurance, and financial services, where compliance and data protection are paramount.
  • Eckoh’s 20+ years of security expertise complements boost.ai’s conversational AI, delivering trusted, high-resolution automation without compromising experience or regulatory standards.
  • The partnership reflects a shared focus on innovation, compliance, and customer trust, enabling secure scaling of AI-driven customer engagement.

Regulated industries have long faced a tradeoff: while chatbots and AI agents efficiently resolve 70% of tier-1 queries in leading financial institutions, handling sensitive requests—such as payments or personal data updates—has remained challenging due to security and compliance risks. This partnership removes that limitation by embedding Eckoh’s proven secure engagement technology directly into boost.ai’s AI agents.

Sensitive information is tokenized or masked before ever reaching storage or third-party systems, ensuring privacy, PCI DSS compliance, and protection against breaches. The result is a seamless, intelligent experience where customers can complete high-stakes interactions through AI without fear of data exposure, while organizations reduce operational costs, improve resolution rates, and maintain regulatory adherence.

“This partnership is a game-changer for regulated industries,” said Nik Philpot, CEO of Eckoh. “Our mission has always been to protect sensitive customer data wherever it’s shared. By joining forces with boost.ai, we’re enabling organizations to embrace the power of AI-driven automation with complete confidence. Together, we’re delivering a new standard for secure, intelligent customer engagement that combines innovation and trust.”

“This collaboration is about more than technology. It’s about transforming the way businesses interact with their customers,” said Jerry Haywood, CEO of boost.ai. “By combining our expertise in conversational AI with Eckoh’s unparalleled security solutions, we’re enabling enterprises to deliver exceptional customer experiences that are both intelligent and secure. Together, we’re redefining what’s possible in regulated industries.”

The joint solution empowers enterprises to automate more of the customer journey—particularly complex and regulated touchpoints—while preserving trust and compliance. This advancement supports the growing adoption of agentic AI in customer service, where security and data protection are non-negotiable prerequisites for scale.
