Custom software in Boston is increasingly AI software. Boston biotechs commission applications that read research literature and surface relevant papers. Healthcare networks build AI applications that summarize patient records for physicians. Asset management firms build copilots that pull analyst reports across thousands of holdings. Edtech companies build personalized tutoring agents. These aren't chatbots stuck onto existing apps; they're AI applications designed from the ground up with retrieval, agentic workflows, and integration into the systems the business already runs.
The eight agencies below ship that work in the Boston market in 2026. All verified.
