# Appice > Appice is the Action Layer for Regulated Industries — a real-time AI decisioning platform for banks, telcos, healthcare, insurers, wealth managers and government. It senses every customer signal, decides the next best action inside compliance guardrails, executes across every channel, and learns from every outcome — typically in sub-200ms, deployed inside the customer's own perimeter. Tagline: The Action Layer for Regulated Industries — AI real-time decisioning powered by Allyvate AI. Appice is not a campaign tool and not a CDP. It is an agentic decisioning loop — Sense → Decide → Act → Learn — orchestrated by Allyvate AI and delivered through Inform. It is built for Banking & Finance, Telecommunications, Healthcare, Insurance, Wealth Management, Government and Aviation, and runs on-premise, in private cloud or hybrid so customer data stays within the customer's walls. Founded in 2015 as Semusi Technologies (product name appICE), rebranded to Appice in 2025. Founders: Tarun Kumar (CEO), Dilip Yadav (COO), Ashish Luthra (CPO). Headquartered in Noida, India, with customers across BFSI in India, Southeast Asia, MENA and Africa including IDBI Bank, Union Bank of India, Bank of India and Gulf International Bank. ## Platform - [Platform overview](https://appice.ai/platform.html): How Appice works end to end — the Sense/Decide/Act/Learn loop plus the Allyvate AI and Inform orchestration layers. - [Sense](https://appice.ai/sense.html): Real-time signal ingestion — connects core banking, BSS/OSS, EHR, CRM and data platforms and streams every event as a typed signal.
