Entry priceNot public; demo ledFull pricing detail

Outbound AI voice agents for credit unions, banks and insurers, running on the company's own private models for collections, new member onboarding, loan servicing, card activation and cross sell calls, with SOC 2 and TCPA compliance. Backed by Y Combinator.

AviaryAI sells outbound AI voice agents to credit unions, community and regional banks, and insurers, and positions itself as the industry's first outbound AI service team. The agents run named campaigns: promise to pay collections on overdue payments, reminders for missing loan paperwork, new member welcome and onboarding calls, card activation reminders and cross sell outreach.

The agents run on the company's own private models, built for financial services with compliance guardrails. AviaryAI is SOC 2 and TCPA compliant, notifies staff through Microsoft Teams for approvals, warm transfers and special cases, and has its safety models review every call and grade it green, yellow or red.

A separate AI Knowledge Base product turns an institution's policies and procedures into a searchable resource for staff. AviaryAI does not say whether the voice agents draw on it. One credit union's conversion campaign reported more than 40 percent live conversations and 50 percent fewer inbound calls, in a vendor case study. The company is backed by Y Combinator.

Reads and writes core banking systems (Corelation Keystone, CU*Answers, Fiserv DNA, Jack Henry Symitar), logs call outcomes to Salesforce, Creatio, Origence and Sync1, records promises to pay in Temenos, builds campaigns from Snowflake data, takes payments through Stripe inside the call, and notifies staff in Microsoft Teams for approvals and warm transfers.

In practice

Your collections team cannot reach every member with an overdue payment. AviaryAI's agents place promise to pay calls, take PCI compliant payments through Stripe inside the call and write the outcome back to your core banking system.

Your credit union wants new members welcomed and onboarded without tying up staff. You build a campaign from member data in your core, CRM or Snowflake, and the agents place the calls with branded text and email follow ups.

Your compliance team needs to know when a call goes wrong. AviaryAI's safety models review every call and grade it green, yellow or red, and staff are pulled in through Microsoft Teams for approvals, warm transfers and special cases.
