Boba vs Ivory Mind (formerly Coral AI)

Boba helps strategy and innovation teams run qualitative research, future scenarios, and storyboards from one workspace. You ask research questions, Boba searches the web for articles and news, summarizes earnings calls, and lets you dig deeper on signals before you move into ideation.

Most research chatbots stop at a bullet summary. Boba is wired for generative ideation workflows: scenario building from strategic prompts, Playing to Win strategy choices, and illustrated storyboards you can generate directly from those scenarios. That chain from research signal to narrative artifact is what sets it apart from general-purpose search assistants.

It fits consultants, product strategists, and innovation teams doing foresight work. The site describes Boba as an experiment by Thoughtworks with login for existing users and a waitlist for new access.

Ivory Mind, formerly known as Coral AI, is an AI document assistant for uploading PDFs, Word files, presentations, audio, and video, then asking questions and getting cited answers. Every response includes clickable page-number or timestamp references so you can verify the source.

You can chat with individual files or bulk-upload your library and search across 100+ documents in one conversation. The platform supports 20+ file types, OCR for scanned PDFs and handwriting, audio and video transcription, and content generation from your source materials.

Ivory Mind is trusted by over 500,000 researchers, academics, and professionals. The free plan includes 2 file uploads; the Executive plan at $12 per month (billed yearly) adds unlimited uploads, bulk chat, and 150 audio or video transcriptions per month.
