Boosted.ai
Boosted.ai builds Alfa, an AI research system that watches companies, portfolios and market events and writes sourced briefs and memos. It sells to individual investors, analysts, institutional teams, brokerages and developers.
Each kind of buyer gets its own tier. Alfa Prime gives institutional teams agents that argue bull and bear cases against a fund's own criteria and return a memo with a conviction score. Alfa Powered lets brokerages embed the product under their own brand, and the Alfa Platform gives developers APIs ready for the Model Context Protocol.
Boosted.ai has built AI for investment research since 2017 and states $5 trillion in client assets supported. It holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, 27701 and 42001. It is based in Toronto.

Alfa is agentic by design, monitoring companies and portfolios around the clock, investigating material changes and delivering sourced briefs and investment memos. Every tier sells research the models produce, so nothing operable would be left.
Evidence sits behind each conclusion and the judgment stays with the investor, while compliance teams can configure data sources, enable restricted modes and govern use across teams. Whether research embedded in a brokerage's app reaches end investors without a person reviewing it is not described.
Every conclusion carries a citation back to the filing, transcript or dataset behind it, and the institutional tier adds a conviction score. Accuracy figures, evaluation method and error analysis for monitoring and extraction are unpublished.
Aggregates carry the claim: $5 trillion in client assets supported and 150,000 financial sources monitored. Homepage logos such as NVIDIA and Apple match companies in sample briefings, and no client institution is named.
Client data never trains the underlying models and is never shared across customers, a categorical answer to the cross client question. Retention terms for what reaches the unnamed model providers are not published.
Updated September 2026, the privacy policy covers the web application as processor for business customers' data, ties retention to the contract or a deletion request and names service providers such as HubSpot, Cloudflare and Stripe. Model providers are absent from that list, though holdings, watchlists and investment criteria are what is at stake.
SOC 2 Type II audited controls and ISO 27001 and 27701 certification are stated, with a trust center at trust.boosted.ai hosted on Vanta. Scope of those certificates, and whether they cover Alfa, is not shown publicly.
Embedded research inside brokerages' products reaches retail investors under supervision and recordkeeping rules, and institutional memos feed regulated investment processes, yet no regulatory position is stated. The security page speaks to GDPR and the scrutiny of regulated finance, which is data protection rather than the rules on the research itself.
ISO 42001 certification for its AI management system, assessed through third party audits, puts named process behind governance on a modest bias surface. Agents that judge names against a fund's own criteria can reinforce an existing view, and a bull and bear debate is the described counterweight, with no measure of how often disconfirming evidence reaches the memo.
Decisions are placed with the user, and no accuracy guarantee, indemnity or remediation term is published. An event Alfa judged immaterial and never surfaced is a failure the user cannot see.
Multi model agents imply third party foundation models in the path, and none is named. Research sources are attributed only through sample citations to Bloomberg and Reuters.
Brokerages can embed research and portfolio monitoring in their own app under their brand through Alfa Powered, and the Alfa Platform offers a financial event bus, finance agents and APIs ready for the Model Context Protocol. Not one brokerage, portfolio system or market data vendor is named as connected.
The majority of data is stored and processed in Canada and the US on Amazon Web Services, with some held by subprocessors in the US or the European Union. That describes where data usually rests rather than a contractual commitment, and no private deployment or regional choice is described.
A ladder by audience runs from Alfa for individuals and Alfa Pro for professionals, both opening with a free account, through Alfa Prime for institutions to Alfa Powered for brokerages. No tier has a published rate, so the cost of a team or institutional deployment stays unpriced.
Individual investors, institutional teams and brokerages each get a tier and product page, with banks addressed on the security page. Coverage stays inside investment research, and the institutional tiers carry no case study or segment material.
Product updates
Material product, regulatory, evidence and commercial changes at Boosted.ai, each verified against a live source and tagged to the capability axis it bears on. Funding rounds and awards are not product changes and are not logged.
Boosted.ai launched Alfa Prime, a multi model AI investment committee that pressure tests an investment idea. Independent models are assigned to argue bull, bear and moderating positions, and the debate is synthesized into a citable investment memo. The product is available initially to selected institutional partners rather than generally.
Compared With
Most editorial comparisons pair two vendors the index assesses as direct competitors for the same buyer. Some pair vendors that are adjacent rather than rival, where the useful question is where one ends and the other begins. Each carries a verdict, the buyer conditions that favor each vendor, and a graded side by side.
