Anne Elizabeth Boden MBE (born January 1960) is a Welsh tech entrepreneur. She is the founder and former CEO of Starling Bank and the first woman to found a British bank. In 2018, she received an MBE for services to financial technology.

In July 2024, Boden stepped down from Starling's board, pivoting away from the company to focus on developing a new artificial intelligence business, AI By Boden.

Boden is the chair of the government's 'Women-led High-Growth Enterprise Taskforce'.

 

 

Generative AI & LLM Data Solutions
Scalable Knowledge Data Engine for LLMs

 

Built for the next generation of AI agents, Boden AI constructs large-scale CUA interaction training datasets using our data capture platform.

‍

We capture full human–agent interaction trajectories — clicks, typing, scrolling, and tool usage — across web, desktop, and mobile environments, enabling agents that can reliably execute real-world tasks.

Powered by the BRIC Forge expert data collection platform, Boden AI built a million-scale professional visual editing dataset designed to fundamentally improve large models’ ability to follow complex visual instructions and perform high-level reasoning. To ensure industrial-grade reliability at scale, each data unit passed through a three-stage quality control system — designer pre-screening, full consistency validation by QA specialists, and expert-level sampling audits. This process delivered over 99.9% accuracy across millions of samples. This dataset now serves as a high-quality training foundation for leading global AI research teams, enabling models to truly understand the underlying logic of visual changes rather than merely reproducing visual effects.
