300+ AI Applications Delivering Surges in Core Metrics and Annual Cost Reduction of Over CNY100 Million (Approx. US$15 Million)

NANJING, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 26 October 2026 - Nanjing Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. (NISCO) has worked with Huawei and ecosystem partners to commercially deploy the world's first steel model powered by swarm intelligence-the YuanYe Steel Large Model (YuanYe)-across multiple scenarios at scale.

This helps NISCO transition its core operations from relying on experience to being powered by data and intelligence collaboration.

As a traditional manufacturer navigating the challenges of transformation and cost efficiency, NISCO has built a robust digital and intelligent foundation by adopting industry-leading products including Ascend, Kunpeng, Huawei Cloud Stack, and Pangu models. By embedding AI into every core stage of production-ironmaking, steelmaking, rolling, and quality inspection?NISCO is forging green and high-end AI-powered super steel plants.

Unlike general-purpose monolithic models, YuanYe innovatively fuses multiple AI models with the steel industry's metallurgical mechanism models to create a dual-drive, multi-model cluster architecture. This architecture features a "right brain" for probabilistic computing and a "left brain" for precise and scientific decision-making. Powered by massive amounts of sensing data aggregated from millions of operational technology (OT) data points across 26 business domains, NISCO has achieved real-time digital twin mapping within its intelligent operations center, laying solid data and scenario foundations for YuanYe. This enables the entire steelmaking process to become not only visible, but also capable of precise control and intelligent assessment. Now 100% of NISCO's key equipment is connected and digitally controlled and its new product R&D cycles have been shortened by 50%, reducing annual costs by over CNY100 million (approx. US$15 million).

As the model continues to iterate, NISCO had launched 25 business agents by October 2026. These agents cover a wide range of scenarios, from visual quality inspection and process optimization to production scheduling and operations management, setting a new benchmark for digital and intelligent steel transformation.

Breakthroughs in four core scenarios: YuanYe redefines traditional operations for significant safety, efficiency, and quality gains

*In the ironmaking stage, AI makes traditionally invisible blast furnaces transparent. YuanYe leverages blast furnaces' internal sensor data and metallurgical mechanism analysis to perform real-time dynamic simulations of the ironmaking process. Assisted by furnace temperature prediction and health diagnosis models, furnace operators can predict temperatures and identify issues two hours in advance, with over 90% accuracy. This shifts furnace operations from reactive post-event remediation to proactive pre-control, increasing prime-grade molten iron yield by over 10% while significantly cutting unit energy consumption.

*In the rolling stage, AI drives precise predictions and codifies expert experience to enhance the operational stability of steel rolling and secure leadership in product quality. To tackle the highly dynamic and complex operating conditions during the rolling process, YuanYe's rolling-force prediction model achieves millisecond-level response, narrowing the thickness tolerance to ?0.2 mm and reducing the steel thickness deviation to 1.9% to reach a world-leading standard. The rolling-force hit rate has jumped from 88% to 98%, supporting a steady annual output of over 2.5 million tons of steel plates and increasing the overall yield rate by 0.5%. Enhanced dimensional precision and physical-chemical stability allow NISCO's products to meet demanding steel specifications across diverse applications, ranging from mega stadiums and oil pipelines to 10,000-ton cruise ships and LNG storage tanks.

*In quality inspection, the synergy between robots and AI models serves as a discerning "eagle eye", doubling metallographic inspection efficiency. During metallographic inspection for finished steel, the integrated smart metallographic inspection system built on YuanYe has achieved full-process automation, covering sample grinding and polishing, image acquisition, and smart grading. Inspection accuracy has risen to over 95%, while per-sample inspection time has been shortened from 10 minutes down to 3?5 minutes. This 80% increase in overall inspection efficiency frees human operators to focus on anomaly analysis and high-level decision-making.

*In the energy and environmental control stage, NISCO leverages the YuanYe architecture to develop the S-Link Intelligent Agent for Gas and Flue Gas Sulfur Control. Integrating 602 process parameters alongside multi-modal image and knowledge capabilities, the agent achieves a smart closed loop across source prediction, process optimization, and end-of-pipe compliance. By combining mechanism inversion with time-series forecasting, it issues precise sulfur-risk warnings one hour in advance, achieving a sulfur prediction accuracy of over 95%. Operational optimization algorithms then calculate the optimal gas blending scheme within seconds. Finally, game-theoretic models dynamically allocate emission quotas, slashing natural gas co-firing consumption by nearly 50%. This has reduced downtime caused by emission exceedance by over 25%, and delivered more than CNY600,000 (approx. US$90,000) in annual economic benefits-securing both environmental compliance and drastic cost reduction.

Li Jinyan, General Manager of the Digital and Intelligent Integrated Development Department and Director of the AI Research Institute at NISCO, said: "Digital and intelligent transformation is inherently human-centric. Its purpose is not to replace people, but to unleash human potential. Our goal is to lift employees out of the endless sea of data, empowering them to direct their creative energy toward work of higher value." To date, NISCO has deployed over 300 AI models across its plants, alongside more than 1,000 low-code agents and lightweight applications built independently by frontline employees.

As Cheng Yongfu, Senior Industrial Solution Expert at Huawei's Steel & Non-ferrous BU, noted: "The real value of industrial AI can only be realized when it expands from single-point applications to comprehensive integration with production, operations, and management, which can unlock sustained, scalable empowerment."

Looking ahead, as model deployment expands and computing demands continue to grow, NISCO will team up with Huawei and other partners to explore the construction of dedicated data centers for smart steel plants. Centered on the AI-native three-tier architecture (AI-native OS, AI-native factory, and AI-native enterprise) and powered by the YuanYe model, NISCO is accelerating high-quality steel development, aiming to provide a replicable and scalable benchmark for the digital and intelligent transformation of the global steel and manufacturing industries.

Using proprietary SEEN framework, Generative Pulse shows brand, marketing, PR, content and SEO teams how AI describes and recommends their brands, which sources shape those answers, and what to do next

Miami, Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Generative Pulse, the AI portrayal platform, today opened early access to its standalone platform for brand, marketing, PR, content, SEO and executive teams. Generative Pulse helps brands understand and improve how AI portrays them leveraging its new proprietary SEEN framework of four signals spanning Share of Answer, Evaluation Assessment, Error-Rate Accuracy and Narrative Alignment.

Generative Pulse launched in 2025 as an AI visibility tool inside Muck Rack, alongside the viral What Is AI Reading? research, which found that 84% of AI citations come from earned media, based on more than 25 million citation links across 17 industries. That original tool, built for PR and communications teams, is now Muck Rack AI Visibility.

As AI answers became one of the main ways people learn about brands, marketing, SEO and content teams needed the same view: what AI says about them, why it says it, and what will change it. Generative Pulse is now a standalone platform built for all of them.

Starting today, Generative Pulse is open for early access. Users don't need a Muck Rack subscription to use it and can request early access at generativepulse.ai. Muck Rack will keep improving it quickly based on early customer feedback ahead of a full launch in early 2027.

Generative Pulse measures how AI portrays a brand across leading AI systems, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, and across locations and audiences. It uses its SEEN framework of four signals: Share of Answer Visibility (whether AI includes the brand), Evaluation Assessment (how AI favorably AI assesses and evaluates it against competitors), Error-Rate Accuracy (whether AI's claims match the brand's facts) and Narrative Alignment (whether AI carries the brand's messages). Showing up in an AI answer is the starting line. What matters is how AI describes the brand, compares it and whether it gets the facts right.

Generative Pulse also:

Traces each answer to the claims, citations and sources behind it, including the journalists and outlets in Muck Rack's media data

Turns findings into prioritized recommendations across earned media, owned content, technical access and monitoring, each with an owner and a measurable outcome

Suggests updates to what teams monitor as stories break, competitors launch and people start asking new questions, using Muck Rack media data and millions of real AI conversations each month. Teams decide which changes to accept

"Earned media is the main source AI draws on when it describes a company. Generative Pulse now gives every team that shapes a brand's reputation one view of how AI portrays them and what to do about it," said Greg Galant, cofounder and CEO of Muck Rack. "Teams need to know more than just that they showed up in an AI answer. They need to know what AI said, the evidence behind it, and whether owned, earned or technical work will change it. Generative Pulse connects all of that."

The first release in a growing AI portfolio delivers value in weeks on any cargo management system - and is built to evolve with every airline's cargo business

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SmartKargo, the cloud-based logistics platform that connects airlines to the e-commerce economy, today announced the first release of its AI Apps portfolio: four API-delivered applications that bring artificial intelligence to the specific domains that move an airline's cargo P&L.

The release marks the start of a portfolio SmartKargo will continue to expand, with every new capability held to the same standard: measurable value for the airline.

The initial release includes:

*AIRCAM (AI Revenue & Capacity Management) - forecasts capacity, predicts demand, and recommends dynamic spot rates in real time, so cargo teams can price and optimize loading and capacity utilization on each flight and for each route for maximum yield.

*AINOC (AI-Powered Cargo Control Tower) - gives operations teams a single, predictive view across the network, finding exceptions before they become delays and costly recoveries.

*AIULD (AI ULD & Asset Management) - tracks and forecasts ULD location, condition, and availability, cutting the losses and delays that come from asset guesswork.

*AICTX (Universal Messaging & Interoperability Backbone) - connects cargo systems and partners through a single, standards-based messaging layer, so clean, accurate data moves across the network and powers every downstream decision.

Each app runs on top of an airline's existing cargo management system - whether a commercial platform or an in-house build - so carriers can adopt AI capability without a system migration. The apps are modular and go live in weeks, not years, letting airlines start with a single use case and expand as they see results.

Innovation that starts with a business question

"Artificial intelligence is everywhere in air cargo conversations right now. Every vendor has a roadmap, every conference has a panel, and every airline is being told AI will change everything," said Olivier Houri, CRO of SmartKargo. "At SmartKargo, we start with something far more useful than hype: a business question."

Before SmartKargo builds or deploys any AI capability, the team asks whether it does one of three things for an airline: drive revenue, reduce cost, or reduce risk. Every app that ships delivers on one, two, or all three - and operates responsibly and securely, because airlines trust SmartKargo with their operations, their data, and their customers.

"These apps aren't a research project or a roadmap slide," Houri continued. "They're built to plug into whatever cargo system an airline already runs, start delivering value in weeks, and grow with the airline from there. That's what flexible, responsibly built AI should look like."

Built to evolve

Today's release is the foundation, not the finish line. SmartKargo will continue to extend the portfolio - adding new applications and deepening the capabilities of existing ones - guided by the problems airlines bring to the table and by the same test: drive revenue, reduce cost, or reduce risk. Because each app connects through APIs rather than a platform migration, airlines that start today can add new capabilities as they become available, building on the integration they already have.

Available now

The AIRCAM, AINOC, AIULD, and AICTX apps are available now to airlines running any major cargo management system. Airlines can adopt one app or the full portfolio, with implementation designed to fit around existing operations rather than replace them. To see the AI Apps in action, airlines can request a demo at smartkargo.com.

About SmartKargo

SmartKargo is the AI-powered, cloud-based platform that turns airlines into world-class cargo carriers, with cargo management, e-commerce, and AI in one system. Our cargo ERP runs the entire shipment lifecycle, from booking and acceptance to handling, tracking, and last-mile delivery.

NASA and USGS will compare EarthDaily Constellation data with Landsat observations and evaluate its potential to support AI-ready products and future hybrid government-commercial mission architectures

MAPLE GROVE, Minn., Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EarthDaily today announced that it has been awarded a $3 million task order by NASA to provide EarthDaily Constellation data and technical support for NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to evaluate new approaches for incorporating commercial capabilities into federal land imaging programs.

The task order supports the Sustainable Land Imaging (SLI) commercial transition initiative, a joint NASA-USGS effort examining how commercial Earth observation data can complement government systems while meeting the scientific quality and continuity needs of the Landsat record.

Under the contract, NASA and USGS will evaluate EarthDaily Constellation data against Landsat standards and requirements, including data quality, calibration, stability, radiometric and geometric performance, harmonizability, and fitness for purpose. The work will also examine how commercial observations can support the development of AI-ready Earth observation products designed for modern data processing and machine-learning workflows.

"Landsat has created an extraordinary scientific record of how our planet is changing, built on decades of consistent and trusted measurement," said Don Osborne, Chief Executive Officer of EarthDaily. "EarthDaily was built around the same fundamental idea: to understand change, you first need measurements you can trust and compare over time. As Earth observation increasingly becomes an input to AI, that consistency becomes even more important. This work gives us the opportunity to collaborate with NASA and USGS to demonstrate how science-grade, AI-ready commercial observations can complement the Landsat record and help extend trusted measurement into the future."

The EarthDaily Constellation was designed specifically to measure change consistently over time. Eight of its 10 satellites are now in orbit, and cover 100% of Earth's landmass every two days. At full operations the constellation will image about 92% of Earth's landmass every day, excluding Antarctica. A sun-synchronous orbit supports consistent morning acquisitions, with equatorial crossing times of around 10:30 a.m. local time, while a 240 km swath enables systematic coverage across large areas. Its coordinated imaging systems collect data across 22 spectral bands spanning visible, near-infrared, short-wave infrared, and thermal wavelengths, using sensor technologies suited to each part of the spectrum.

Native spatial resolution is 5 m in the visible and near-infrared, 95 m in the short-wave infrared and 120 m in the thermal infrared, with no sharpening applied to create apparent detail. Dedicated water-vapor and cirrus bands support atmospheric correction and cloud identification. Together, these design choices produce science-grade, analysis-ready observations that can be compared directly from one collection to the next.

The evaluation will assess how these capabilities could complement Landsat by adding more frequent observations, helping users who need consistent measurements of change between acquisitions.

That measurement foundation is also essential for AI applications. The work aligns with NASA's broader efforts to expand the use of super intelligence in scientific research and the analysis of complex datasets. EarthDaily's consistently calibrated, standardized observations give models a stable basis for detecting meaningful change. That includes Earth observation foundation models trained on decades of Landsat imagery, as well as reanalysis and forecasting applications. Observations that can be harmonized with the Landsat archive could extend those records forward with more frequent measurements. EarthDaily will work with NASA and USGS on experiments involving data evaluation, workflow demonstration, product evaluation and validation, standardized data structures, and uncertainty characterization. The work will also test EarthDaily data alongside Landsat and other reference missions and within USGS Analysis Ready Data and NASA Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 processing workflows.

The evaluation will examine whether EarthDaily data can support Landsat-grade surface reflectance and surface temperature. It will also assess compatibility with long-term land imaging records and the potential for commercial observations to increase revisit frequency and improve spatial resolution when combined with government Earth observation systems.

Throughout the evaluation, EarthDaily scientists and technical teams will work with NASA and USGS scientific and program leads through regular technical exchanges on data quality, cross-calibration, algorithms, product specifications, processing workflows and data integration. Findings will be reviewed jointly as the work progresses and used to refine products and documentation. The work will help identify and refine the requirements commercial capabilities and derived data products would need to meet for harmonization with the Landsat archive.

Demonstrating that EarthDaily data meet Landsat-aligned performance thresholds and provide sufficient value, is a first toward hybrid mission architectures that combine government and commercial assets.

EarthDaily is committed to working with NASA and USGS on approaches that preserve what has made Landsat invaluable: a continuous, more than 50-year record that is freely and openly available to users worldwide.

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has upgraded Stock Dual Investment, expanding its structured investment offerings to tokenized U.S. Equities through a partnership with VETA Finance.

The launch introduces new stock-linked underlying assets and maturity options, allowing users to earn fixed-term yields while executing predefined strategies based on market conditions.

Stock Dual Investment lets users earn yield on USDT or eligible tokenized U.S. Equities over a fixed investment period, with settlement determined by a predefined target price and the assets's market performance at maturity. Current underlying assets include rNVDA, rGOOGL and rAMD, providing exposure to tokenized equities linked to NVIDIA, Alphabet, and AMD.

Buy Low allows users to subscribe with USDT and pick a target price for an eligible rToken. If the settlement price at maturity is at or below the target price, the investment is converted into the corresponding rToken at the predetermined price. Otherwise, users receive their principal and accrued yield in USDT. This strategy is designed for users looking to accumulate tokenized equities at a chosen price while earning yield during the investment period.

Sell High allows users to subscribe with an eligible rToken and pick a target price to sell. If the settlement price at maturity is at or above the target price, the investment is converted into USDT at a predetermined price. Otherwise, users retain their rToken principal and receive the applicable yield. This strategy is designed for holders waiting to sell at a selected price while earning yield on their existing positions.

"Investors often have a price in mind at which they would buy more or take profits. Stock Dual Investment, lets them earn yield while working toward those targets.That is our UEX vision of bringing crypto and traditional assets together with more ways to put them to work," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget.

This product is offered in partnership with VETA Finance, a structured-product infrastructure provider focused on digital assets and tokenized markets. Since 2022, VETA Finance has provided end-to-end solutions for trading platforms, asset managers, and wealth-management providers, spanning product structuring, pricing, hedging, execution, and settlement.

Daniel Yu, Founder of VETA Finance, said: "Tokenization solved how equities get on-chain. Structured products solve how those assets are retained and how they generate yield. We are delighted to join Bitget's rToken ecosystem as a first-batch quoting vendor and bring the pricing, hedging and lifecycle management capabilities we have built in crypto structured products to tokenized US stocks in full. Dual Investment is only the first step. Together with Bitget, we intend to turn every tokenized US stock into a complete product line."

By extending Dual Investment to tokenized U.S equities, Bitget is bringing structured investment strategies traditionally associated with financial markets into its unified digital ecosystem. Users can deploy stablecoins or eligible rTokens through a single platform, creating additional opportunities to manage their exposure to tokenized equities without navigating separate trading environments. The launch further advances Bitget's Universal Exchange vision by expanding how users can access and utilize both crypto and tokenized traditional financial assets.

The Singapore-registered EBC Group Foundation, funded entirely by EBC Financial Group, sets one condition for every project it supports and aims to help at least 6,000 people by the end of 2027

HONG KONG, Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EBC Financial Group (EBC) has launched the EBC Group Foundation to give its charitable work a structure that lasts. Announced on the sidelines of iFX EXPO Asia 2026, the Singapore-registered Foundation is funded entirely by the Group and brings together work that has spanned more than 100 projects in dozens of countries over five years.

Every project it supports must meet one condition: the money and materials must reach the people who need them.

"Every business moves wealth from one place to another. What defines a company is what it chooses to do with what it earns. Our teams have acted on that belief one hospital ward, one classroom, and one community at a time. The Foundation makes sure that work continues across borders, year after year," said Andria Phiniefs, Marketing Director, EBC Financial Group.

The Question Behind the Foundation

The Foundation grew out of a question EBC's leadership has wrestled with for years and shared openly at the launch: what does a company in the financial markets owe beyond its own success? The Group's answer is that earning honestly is only part of the responsibility. The other part is what that wealth is used for.

Until now, that answer has depended on the initiative of individual teams. Teams across the Group are encouraged to visit a hospital every month, with children given priority, and many have worked with schools, charities, and relief funds in the communities they serve.

A Long Standing Record: From Tainan to Lagos

After Typhoon Danas struck southern Taiwan in July 2025, EBC contributed to Tainan's official relief fund to help families restore basic services and rebuild. In December 2025, EBC visited and supported children at Wat Sakaew in Thailand, and in September 2026, its teams in Mongolia provided school supplies to vulnerable children. In Nigeria, EBC donated notebooks and school bags to students at Isolo Junior Secondary School in Lagos and You-Nik Group of Schools in Abuja, where a lack of basic classroom materials is still a daily barrier to learning.

Two longer commitments run alongside this work. Since March 2024, EBC has partnered with the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) to support the education and empowerment of girls and young women and has been recognised as a Friend of Asia Pacific. Since April 2024, it has supported United to Beat Malaria (UTBM), a campaign of the United Nations Foundation, against a disease that, according to UTBM, still kills a child nearly every minute. In 2026, EBC Financial Group signed a 3-year partnership extension as well as became the Gold Sponsor of the Move Against Malaria 5K (MAM5K) 2026 Virtual Run.

One Condition for Every Project

The Foundation turns that team-by-team initiative into a shared standard across the Group, built around a single test: does the help reach the people it is meant for? Delivery partners must be locally registered non-governmental organisations (NGOs) or charities that have passed EBC's due diligence checks, and beneficiaries are selected through a documented process focused on lasting impact.

The Foundation is also open to projects brought to it by others. Charities and community groups can propose work for support, and each proposal will be considered case by case against the same test.

Around 80% of the Foundation's resources are expected to go to orphan care, covering education, essential living supplies, counselling, career guidance, and financial literacy for children who have lost both parents or whose parents cannot provide care. The rest will support needs that regional teams identify on the ground, from school and university outreach to youth financial education and community projects.

The First Two Years

By the end of 2027, the Foundation aims to reach at least five regions, support at least 300 children through orphan care projects, and help at least 6,000 people across all its work, completing an orphan care project in every region. These are targets, not guarantees, and EBC will review progress against them every quarter.

Regional teams will launch projects in four regions by the end of 2026, with a wider progress report due in the first quarter of 2027. From 2028, and subject to review, EBC may open ways for clients and partners to take part. Details will follow if that stage goes ahead.

"There is an old Chinese saying we return to often: flowing water does not race to be first; it aims never to stop. The Foundation is built in that spirit," said Phiniefs.

BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach Newswire - 24 October 2026 - Agoda, an online travel platform that is part of Booking Holdings, has its largest office worldwide in Bangkok, with more than 4,500 staff - over half its global workforce.

The Bangkok team develops software algorithms, artificial intelligence, and data analytics that help drive the platform, which offers accommodations in more than 200 countries and territories.

Agoda has received investment promotion from the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) for International Business Center activity. Agoda's Bangkok base underscores Thailand's potential to become a tech talent hub.

Mr. Narit Therdsteerasukdi, Secretary General of the BOI, visited the office at the One Bangkok complex and met Agoda Chief Executive Omri Morgenshtern and senior management. The Bangkok site serves as Agoda's Global Tech & Operations Hub, with systems developed in Thailand deployed across a platform that lists more than 6 million properties in 39 languages. The company employs more than 8,000 people in 25 markets.

More than half of the Bangkok staff are Thai, while about 2,000 foreign specialists come from more than 80 countries. Roles range from software engineering, data science and AI to product management, marketing and international business management.

"Thailand has a deep pool of skilled people in data analytics, IT and communications, engineering and business management, and an open work culture where people of many nationalities collaborate well," Mr. Narit said. "Combining Thai and foreign expertise allows the company to place complex, high value-added activities in Thailand while creating opportunities to transfer knowledge, upgrade skills, and build the country's tech ecosystem over the long term."

Agoda's foreign experts get help with visas and work permits in one place. The BOI, the Immigration Bureau, and the Department of Employment facilitate both through the Thailand Investment and Expat Service Center, a one-stop service at One Bangkok, where Agoda's office is also based. That helps experts from around the world join Thai teams quickly and conveniently. It suits a business that constantly trains, coordinates, and travels internationally.

Agoda also runs a talent pipeline with Thai universities. Its Tech Camp Day, held three times a year, brings in more than 100 students per session, and its internship program takes more than 500 students a year from over 10 universities. More than 20 percent of interns have gone on to join the company.

"Working at a global technology company gives Thai professionals exposure to the standards, tools, and working methods of international teams," Morgenshtern said. "That experience can be carried into new businesses, startups, and the upgrading of companies across industries, spreading knowledge and supporting Thailand's long-term economic growth."

"A global company like Agoda choosing Thailand as its main base for high-skilled technology work is an example of success in attracting investment driven by people and knowledge," Mr. Narit said. "These investments create high-value jobs and give Thais the chance to work with experts from around the world. The skills they gain today will help them build new businesses and develop the country in the years ahead."

Thailand Board of Investment (BOI)

Established in 1966, the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) has spent six decades promoting high-value investment from both foreign and Thai investors, strengthening the country's competitiveness and driving its transition toward a sustainable, balanced new economy.

Dikembangkan berdasarkan tiga karakteristik utama-Profesional, Proaktif, dan Menguntungkan-produk ini memperkuat pendekatan Tec-Do dalam menghadirkan AI for Work yang berorientasi pada hasil.

Dari Kemampuan AI hingga Hasil Bisnis

Dalam pidato utama pembukaannya yang bertajuk "From Language to Action: The Next Leap in AI (Dari Bahasa ke Tindakan: Lompatan Berikutnya dalam AI)" Dr. Knight memanfaatkan pengalamannya di dunia akademis dan industri untuk mengidentifikasi AI for Work sebagai salah satu arah utama penerapan AI.

Shuhao Li, Pendiri dan CEO Tec-Do, memaparkan peluang bisnis bernilai triliunan dolar di tiga bidang pengeluaran perusahaan, yaitu pemasaran dan penjualan, coding dan pengembangan produk, serta manajemen. Ketiga bidang tersebut berkaitan dengan AI for Growth, AI for Innovation, dan AI for Administration. Dalam kerangka ini, Li memosisikan Navos Pro sebagai salah satu pesaing utama di bidang AI for Growth.

"Kami berfokus sepenuhnya pada AI for Work yang berorientasi pada hasil," ujar Li.

Dirancang untuk mendukung e-commerce lintas negara, perdagangan internasional, pemasaran, dan analisis bisnis, Navos Pro menggabungkan:

Profesional: Membangun pusat informasi privat dari situs web suatu merek dan menyimpan konteks bisnis untuk menghasilkan output yang selaras dengan tujuan komersial merek tersebut.

Proaktif: Memantau data sepanjang waktu untuk mengidentifikasi peluang dan merekomendasikan tindakan, sedangkan wewenang pengambilan keputusan tetap berada di tangan manusia.

Menguntungkan: Menghubungkan strategi, pengembangan materi iklan, dan eksekusi periklanan dengan hasil yang terukur, termasuk nilai transaksi bruto (GMV) dan tingkat pengembalian investasi (ROI).

Kemampuan ini didukung oleh model khusus dengan 32 miliar, 27 miliar, dan 5 miliar parameter, pengetahuan industri, lebih dari 70 integrasi MCP, serta lebih dari 100 keterampilan. Menurut Tec-Do, platform ini memantau lebih dari 1 miliar titik data setiap hari. Learning Loop menghubungkan hasil dengan pengoptimalan strategi, sedangkan Navos RSI menggunakan pembelajaran penguatan berbasis agen untuk meningkatkan kualitas Agent Harness miliknya.

Arsitektur ini mendukung penerapan di berbagai pasar, saluran, dan industri. Portofolio produk ini terdiri dari Navos Lite dan Navos Pro, yang mencakup alur kerja pemasaran internasional yang menyeluruh.

Dari Merespons hingga Menginisiasi Pekerjaan

Li menggambarkan evolusi dari Chatbot ke Copilot hingga Pro-Agent sebagai pergeseran dalam hal siapa yang mengambil inisiatif untuk memulai pekerjaan: dari merespons permintaan, membantu eksekusi, hingga secara proaktif mengidentifikasi peluang dan mendorong pertumbuhan. Li berpendapat bahwa industri AI tengah beralih dari sekadar menyediakan kemampuan menuju pembuktian nilai bisnis yang dihasilkan.

Dengan memanfaatkan pengalamannya dalam melayani ratusan ribu merek yang berekspansi ke pasar internasional, Tec-Do memperluas pendekatan ini melalui kemitraan. Menurut perusahaan, Tec-Do menjadi salah satu mitra teknologi global pertama untuk ChatGPT Ads pada Juli 2026. Kemitraan ini membantu berbagai merek meningkatkan ROI hingga 2,5 kali lipat dari tingkat sebelumnya. Pada bulan Agustus, Tec-Do bermitra dengan Tencent WorkBuddy untuk menerapkan kemampuan AI dalam periklanan internasional.

Li menyatakan bahwa AI for Growth merupakan langkah awal, dengan rencana untuk memperluas kemampuan Tec-Do ke AI for Innovation dan AI for Administration.

Mendorong Komersialisasi AI

Lorry Destainville, Kemitraan Monetisasi di OpenAI berbagi pandangannya mengenai komersialisasi ChatGPT. Ia menyatakan bahwa ChatGPT menjangkau 1,2 miliar pengguna setiap minggu dan OpenAI tengah mengeksplorasi pengembangan Sponsored Agents dan Visual Ads. Ia juga berterima kasih kepada Tec-Do atas kolaborasinya dalam mengembangkan berbagai alat AI yang praktis dan terukur untuk mendukung pertumbuhan berbagai merek.

Tiga sesi diskusi panel, yang dimoderasi oleh Maeve Zhang, Wakil Presiden Pemerekan dan Hubungan Masyarakat di Tec-Do, membahas dampak AI terhadap bisnis, ekspansi internasional, dan kolaborasi ekosistem, dengan menghadirkan penyedia teknologi, pengusaha, dan investor.

Konferensi ini ditutup dengan pengumuman Pro-Agent Global Challenge oleh Eileen Nie, Mitra Pendiri dan Kepala Inkubasi Ekosistem dan Investasi Strategis di Tec-Do. Inisiatif ini mengundang para pengusaha dari seluruh dunia untuk mengajukan proyek di bidang arsitektur agen, pemasaran berbasis AI, gateway konten AI, dan infrastruktur komputasi. Inisiatif ini juga menawarkan akses ke modal, sumber daya industri, serta saluran pertumbuhan global.

Klien EBC Financial Group kini dapat melakukan trading melalui aplikasi yang sama yang mereka gunakan untuk membuka, mendanai, dan mengelola akun

LONDON, Oct. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EBC Financial Group (EBC) telah memperluas layanan trading langsung di EBC App dengan menghadirkan pengelolaan akun, fitur pendanaan, dan eksekusi trading dalam satu platform seluler.

Fitur trading yang pertama kali diperkenalkan secara bertahap pada tanggal 14 September 2026 ini lalu diperluas ke sejumlah pas ar lainnya, dengan peluncuran lanjutan pada tanggal 21 Oktober. Akses ke layanan ini tetap bergantung pada lokasi setiap klien, kelayakan akun, serta entitas EBC yang menyediakan layanan tersebut.

"Misi kami adalah membantu klien melakukan trading dengan lebih baik dengan membuat platform kami dapat diakses kapan saja dan di mana saja. EBC App kini memungkinkan klien untuk memantau akun, melacak status order, dan mengelola eksposur risiko mereka tanpa perlu berpindah-pindah platform. "Integrasi berbagai fungsi ini akan membantu menyederhanakan pengelolaan akun sehari-hari, sekaligus memastikan risiko dan tanggung jawab dalam trading tetap dipahami dengan jelas," ujar Andria Phiniefs, Direktur Pemasaran EBC Financial Group.

Fitur yang Dapat Digunakan Klien di Aplikasi

Klien dapat melihat kuotasi harga secara real time dan melakukan trading Kontrak untuk Selisih (CFD), yang memungkinkan mereka mengambil posisi berdasarkan pergerakan harga tanpa harus memiliki aset acuan. Tersedia lebih dari 300 instrumen CFD untuk trading, termasuk pasangan valas, komoditas, indeks, saham, dan reksa dana yang diperdagangkan di bursa (ETF). Klien dapat memasang market order yang langsung dieksekusi pada harga pasar saat itu, atau pending order yang baru akan dieksekusi ketika harga mencapai level yang telah mereka tentukan. Klien juga dapat mengatur level take-profit dan stop-loss agar posisi tertutup secara otomatis saat keuntungan atau kerugian mencapai batas yang telah ditentukan, membatalkan order, serta menutup beberapa posisi sekaligus dengan sekali ketuk.

Fitur-fitur ini memungkinkan trader menetapkan batas sebelum terjadi pergerakan harga, mengingat trading CFD dilakukan dengan menggunakan margin. Leverage dapat memperbesar keuntungan sekaligus kerugian, dengan potensi kerugian yang bahkan dapat melebihi jumlah deposit. Penggunaan stop-loss juga tidak menjamin kerugian dapat dibatasi sepenuhnya. Saat pasar bergerak dengan cepat, harga dapat melompati level yang telah ditentukan, fenomena yang dikenal sebagai gap. Akibatnya, order mungkin dieksekusi pada harga yang kurang menguntungkan. Fitur-fitur order yang telah dijelaskan saat EBC meluncurkan aplikasinya pada bulan Juli lalu bertujuan memberikan kendali yang lebih baik kepada trader atas eksposur risiko mereka, bukan menghilangkan risiko tersebut.

Satu Aplikasi untuk Membuka Akun hingga Melakukan Trading

EBC mengumumkan kehadiran EBC App pada tanggal 7 Juli 2026 sebagai platform pengelolaan akun. Sebelumnya, klien telah dapat membuka akun dan menyelesaikan proses verifikasi identitas melalui aplikasi, melakukan penyetoran dan penarikan dana, serta mengakses layanan dukungan pelanggan dalam berbagai bahasa yang tersedia selama 24 jam 7 hari seminggu. Klien juga dapat berpindah-pindah akun, dengan informasi dana, posisi, dan aktivitas trading yang tersinkronisasi secara real time. Dengan penambahan fitur trading langsung, aplikasi yang sama kini juga mencakup tahap terakhir dalam proses trading, yaitu pemasangan order.

Apa yang Terjadi Setelah Mengetuk Layar

Melalui Smart Order Routing Engine milik EBC Financial Group, lebih dari 87,6% order EBC dieksekusi pada harga yang lebih baik dibandingkan harga yang diminta. Dengan kata lain, order tersebut dieksekusi pada harga yang lebih menguntungkan bagi klien dibandingkan harga yang ditawarkan saat order dipasang. Infrastruktur trading EBC menawarkan kecepatan eksekusi rata-rata 20 milidetik, kemampuan memproses hingga 1.000 order per detik, dan tingkat stabilitas sistem sebesar 98,75%. Infrastruktur ini didukung oleh server dengan jalur jaringan khusus privat Tier 4 yang tersebar di lima pusat keuangan global serta 30 pusat data di seluruh dunia.

Harga ditentukan berdasarkan informasi dari lebih dari 50 penyedia likuiditas, baik bank maupun nonbank, termasuk J.P. Morgan, UBS, Barclays, dan Goldman Sachs. EBC menawarkan spread raw ECN mulai dari 0,0 pip, yaitu selisih antara harga beli dan harga jual, serta kedalaman pasar lima tingkat yang menunjukkan harga dan volume yang tersedia di luar kuotasi harga terbaik.

Ketersediaan EBC App

EBC App yang disediakan oleh EBC Financial Group (SVG) LLC dapat diunduh untuk perangkat iOS dan Android melalui halaman unduhan resmi di https://www.ebc.com/mobile. Ketersediaan fitur trading, instrumen, dan layanan akun bergantung pada persyaratan setempat yang berlaku serta kelayakan klien.

Trading valas dan CFD menggunakan margin memiliki risiko yang signifikan, termasuk potensi mengalami kerugian dalam waktu singkat. Instruksi stop-loss dapat membantu mengelola eksposur risiko, tetapi tidak menjamin bahwa order akan dieksekusi pada harga tertentu. Perlindungan yang tersedia bagi klien, termasuk pembatasan kerugian, bergantung pada entitas EBC yang menjalin kontrak dengan mereka, klasifikasi akun, serta aturan yang berlaku.

*In partnership with the Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology, and Oman Investment Authority, Asyad Group is organizing the forum to build on Oman's role in international dialogue on the future of the maritime industry.

*Omani and international leaders with operational and commercial expertise will discuss practical solutions to strengthen the resilience of maritime networks and flow of global trade.

*Muscat Maritime Resilience Framework: participants will consider planned mechanisms to strengthen maritime networks and deepen international cooperation to protect the flow of global trade.

MUSCAT, Oman, Oct. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asyad Group will host the Muscat Maritime Resilience Forum 2026 on 27?28 October in partnership with the Foreign Ministry of Oman, the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology, and Oman Investment Authority. The partnership reflects a coordinated national effort to strengthen Oman's role in international discussions on the future of trade and global maritime routes.

The forum will bring together senior executives, academics and maritime experts from major companies and international institutions in one platform dedicated for professional dialogue and the exchange of hands-on experience. Participants will examine the shared challenges facing the global maritime system and explore practical solutions that make its networks more resilient and better connected in support of international trade.

The forum will examine how resilient, interconnected maritime networks support supply chains, businesses, markets and economies. Building that resilience requires operational know-how and cooperation across every part of the sector: shipping, ports, logistics, technology, insurance and the markets tied to global trade. Private sector leaders will steer the sessions, drawing on real operational and commercial challenges to identify practical approaches that translate shared experience into clear next steps.

Eng. Abdulrahman Al Hatmi, Group Chief Executive Officer of Asyad Group, said:

"Global trade is only as resilient as the maritime networks that sustain it. Those networks must keep markets connected while adapting to the disruptions and evolving conditions that shape the movement of goods and the continuity of supply chains. That is why we are bringing leading industry minds and experts to Muscat to work through common challenges and help shape a maritime system that is stronger and better prepared for the future. As host, we bring Asyad Group's commercial and operational expertise to this dialogue, as we believe maritime resilience is a shared responsibility that requires ongoing cooperation across the industry."

Hosting the forum reflects Oman's approach to economic diplomacy, which uses international relationships built on trust to create platforms that bring decision-makers and experts together on priority issues for the global economy. Through the forum, Muscat emerges as a trusted international meeting point for maritime leaders from around the world. Together, they will address a shared challenge that extends beyond any one market and can only be met through coordinated action. Oman's strategic location on maritime trade routes reinforces this role, along with its ports, infrastructure, maritime services and logistics solutions, which connect regional and global markets and widen trade options.

The Muscat Maritime Resilience Forum marks a significant step in positioning Muscat as an international hub for business and professional dialogue in the maritime sector. It will foster closer cooperation and knowledge exchange among maritime and logistics leaders across markets, supporting collective efforts to strengthen the resilience of the networks that sustain global trade. Insights and recommendations from the forum will inform the development of the Muscat Maritime Resilience Framework.
