EDO Launches ChatEDO, the First Agentic AI Application for Faster, More Accessible TV Outcome Measurement

New AI-powered interface will enable advertisers, agencies, and publishers to interact with EDO’s investment-grade TV outcomes data using natural language — democratizing access across client partner teams and accelerating time to insight

EDO, the TV outcomes company, announced the launch of ChatEDO, a new conversational AI agent that makes EDO’s massive database of TV advertising activity and outcomes easier and faster to access, analyze, and utilize. ChatEDO allows clients to ask questions in natural language and instantly surfaces insights across EDO’s expansive Convergent TV database — dramatically reducing the time and effort required to understand and optimize performance.

ChatEDO reflects a broader shift in how marketing teams want to interact with data. Many brand, publisher, and especially agency teams are overextended and under-resourced, with fewer specialists to interpret measurement results. Yet the rise of fragmented, cross-platform TV, often transacted in programmatic platforms, increases expectations for speed, accuracy, and insight. ChatEDO lowers the barrier to entry for advanced TV insights, enabling more professionals across advertising organizations to immediately become effective users of outcomes intelligence, within seconds.

“ChatEDO is about meeting our customers where they are,” said Kevin Krim, President and CEO of EDO. “Research & Insights teams are under more pressure than ever and EDO’s industry-leading scale and granularity of data across Convergent TV breaks old dashboard and spreadsheet-based workflows. With ChatEDO, we’re making TV outcomes intelligence even more accessible, immediate, and useful.”

Built on EDO’s Vertical AI Heritage and Investment-Grade Data

ChatEDO is EDO’s custom-built agentic AI interface for AdEngage, the company’s leading Vertical-AI powered Convergent TV measurement platform. Rather than being tied to a single AI provider, ChatEDO is a model-agnostic orchestrator designed to leverage the best foundation models via Amazon Web Services (AWS) Bedrock, including OpenAI’s GPT-5, Anthropic’s Claude Opus, and other AI models. This architecture allows ChatEDO to seamlessly switch between foundation models as new state-of-the-art capabilities emerge, without disrupting the user experience or compromising accuracy.

The proprietary intelligence behind ChatEDO lives in its MCP-based tools. EDO has spent years engineering the execution logic and guardrails required to reliably interpret, contextualize, and analyze its syndicated, scaled, and granular TV data.

Rather than relying on generic AI platforms, ChatEDO leverages EDO’s decade of experience in Vertical AI, combining 10+ years of cross-platform outcomes data, trillions of impressions, hundreds of millions of airings, and syndicated benchmarks across industries. The result is an agentic system grounded in real, predictive consumer behavior, capable of turning immediate signals and historical benchmarks into actionable guidance.

“Our focus wasn’t just on building a chat interface — it was building the right intelligence behind it,” said Joshua Lee, EDO’s Chief Technical Officer and Head of Product. “We’ve spent years structuring Convergent TV outcomes data so it can be reliably consumed by AI agents. ChatEDO brings that powerful technical foundation to life, reducing friction and dramatically accelerating time-to-insight for agency teams.”

Faster Insights, Broader Access

In internal tests, ChatEDO has proved especially effective at answering common but time-consuming questions, on subjects like creative impact, competitive intelligence, share shifts, media weights, and category trends. While these queries previously required time-consuming, manual filtering across multiple dashboard views often downloaded into spreadsheets, ChatEDO provides answers in seconds using plain language and data visualizations.

For instance, agencies can now explore their competitors’ media plans and performance in real-time while on client calls, eliminating the need to pull additional data after the call and schedule an additional meeting days later.

By simplifying access to complex data, ChatEDO helps teams — whether at agencies, brands, or publishers — move faster, respond to stakeholders’ needs more quickly, and extend outcomes intelligence beyond a small group of power users to the broader organization — supporting speed, efficiency, and ROI at a time when doing more with less has become a mandate.

Whereas less technical team members might have needed to wait 4-6 hours for creative performance data, ChatEDO empowers these team members to receive instant analysis — no SQL necessary, no waiting on analyst expertise.

New Intuit Mailchimp Report Reveals What Marketers Overlook at the Opt-In Moment and Why It Matters

New Intuit Mailchimp Report Reveals What Marketers Overlook at the Opt-In Moment and Why It Matters

Intuit Logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG, brand

The Art of the Opt-In finds that trust, timing, and restraint at sign-up shape engagement, data quality, and retention across email and SMS

  • The opt-in moment sets expectations for the entire brand-customer relationship, and many marketers overestimate how much data consumers wish to share. But tying sign-up requests to high-intent behaviors, like browsing or checkout, could bridge the gap.

  • Trust builds differently across age groups. In fact, 39% of Gen Z assume brands will follow privacy laws compared to just 19% among Baby Boomers.

  • After sign-up, high-performing lists rely on personalization, relevance, cadence, and automated execution. But less than one-third of marketers consider their email and SMS lists to be “very high quality” and only 8% see opt-in conversion rates above 20%.

Intuit Inc. , the global financial technology platform that makes Intuit TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp, released a new report, The Art of the Opt-In: Why List Building is Only the Beginning. Developed by Intuit Mailchimp and Ascend2, this report includes findings from thousands of marketers and consumers across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia/New Zealand, outlining practical guidance to close the gap between consumer expectations and marketing execution at opt-in and beyond.

“As tracking and re-targeting become more complex, the opt-in stands out as one of the few moments when a brand can earn a direct relationship – with permission,” said Matt Cimino, product manager at Intuit Mailchimp. “Sign-up is the first signal that someone is willing to engage, and what a brand does in that moment sets expectations for everything that comes next.”

The data shows that early opt-in decisions can shape not just how subscribers engage, but whether brands have what they need to keep those relationships relevant and valuable. The modern consumer is skeptical about inviting a brand into the inbox; marketers prove they belong there by asking for (and, later, acting on) data that allows for a personalized, benefit-driven customer conversation.

The Striking Gap Between Marketing Strategies and Consumer Preferences

The Art of the Opt-In report found that nearly all marketers maintain email and SMS lists, but less than one-third consider their lists to be “very high quality,” and only 8% see conversion rates above 20%. Lack of sophisticated tools may be a factor; only 1 in 5 brands (21%) have fully automated their email and text campaigns, and only a third feel very confident that they can track which channels drive sign-ups.

Meanwhile, most consumers have noticed an uptick in marketing emails and texts, but only 40% say they are paying more attention, and about a quarter admit they are tuning out these channels more than they did a year ago. Those who stay subscribed say they want content that actually adds value (56%) and messages at a frequency that doesn’t feel like spam (40%). But many opt-in strategies misjudge customer trust from the start: 65% of brands ask for a phone number in their popup forms, for example, but only 28% of consumers are willing to hand it over, suggesting that brands are overstepping consumer trust thresholds by asking for high-friction data too early.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Michael McNeal, VP of Product at SALESmanago

“Most opt-ins come up short because they’re created only thinking about what the business needs, not what the customer actually wants,” explains Cimino. Instead of relying on generic popups, the data suggests that successful brands focus on “high-intent” moments: Consumers are much more likely to opt in after browsing (50%) or during checkout (39%).

Trust varies sharply by age: 39% of Gen Z assume brands will follow privacy laws, a figure that plummets to just 19% among Baby Boomers. For Gen Z, trust is visual and immediate: 43% say a clean, simple design makes them feel more comfortable completing an opt-in form, compared with 29% of Boomers+.

Marketing Technology News: Complexity as a Cost Center: The Hidden Financial Burden of Fragmented Martech Stacks

Insight-driven automations and cross-channel platforms make the difference

The report highlights how the future of list growth will enable marketers to send smarter.

  • Automation as the secret sauce. Brands that consider their contact list quality to be best-in-class (“List Quality Leaders”) are 3x more likely than others to have full automation across their email and SMS marketing. They’re also more likely to leverage welcome series (64% vs. 53% of all others) and cross-sell or upsell flows (45% vs. 36%).
  • The rise of the “Omnichannel Orchestrator.” When messaging and timing are orchestrated across channels, every channel becomes a stronger conversion driver. Brands with highly aligned omnichannel messaging and timing are significantly more likely to report high value from nearly every channel, including organic social (62% vs. 43%), paid social (56% vs. 40%), and even emerging channels like Generative Engines (10% vs 5%).
  • Data-informed, not data-overloaded. Marketers struggle less with access to data than with turning it into value. Only 30% use preference or frequency data and just 29% use browsing behavior, despite these being among the strongest drivers of relevance. Marketers need platforms that unify fragmented data and help act on the signals that drive trust and long-term engagement.

“This research reinforces what marketers are feeling every day: relevance comes from clarity, not volume,” said Diana Williams, Vice President of Product, Intuit Mailchimp. “When data is fragmented, even the best intentions fall short. Our focus is removing that friction by bringing behavior signals, automations, and omnichannel insights together so marketers can confidently turn every interaction into a chance to build trust and long-term growth.”

JPLoft Expands Mobile App Development Services in Dubai to Power Next-Generation Digital Growth

JPLoft

JPLoft strengthens its presence in Dubai to support scalable, secure digital platforms for long-term digital growth.

Dubai is building the future, one digital innovation at a time.

From smart cities to AI-powered government services, the emirate has become a global benchmark for technological transformation.

As Dubai advances its long-term digital priorities, the firm is expanding its presence to support the region’s digital transformation.

JPLoft, a digital solutions provider specializing in enterprise platforms and intelligent systems, has announced the strategic expansion of its service delivery capabilities in Dubai.

The move is designed to support organizations, startups, and government entities driving technology-led growth across the UAE.

Dubai’s digital-first vision aligns with our focus on building scalable platforms that empower businesses to grow sustainably and stay competitive in an evolving digital landscape.”

— Rahul SukhwalThis isn’t just about opening another office. It’s about embedding deeper into an ecosystem where digital transformation isn’t optional; it’s essential.

Responding to Dubai’s Digital Acceleration

Dubai has always been ahead of the curve. While other cities talked about smart infrastructure, Dubai built it. While others planned digital solutions, Dubai deployed them.

Dubai’s long-term ambition positions the city as a global hub for innovation, sustainability, and economic diversification.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Kurt Donnell, CEO @ Freestar

Technology is the enabler. Digital platforms are the infrastructure. And mobile solutions are the access point for millions.

As a top-rated mobile app development company in Dubai, JPLoft’s expansion responds to a clear market signal: demand for sophisticated, scalable digital platforms is growing faster than supply.

Businesses need solutions that don’t just work; they need systems that scale, adapt, and integrate seamlessly with Dubai’s digital ecosystem.

The company’s enhanced presence in Dubai is built around three core pillars: mobile application development, AI-powered platforms, and enterprise-grade digital infrastructure.

Strengthening Mobile Application Capabilities Across Sectors

Dubai’s population is digitally native. Residents expect instant access to services. Businesses compete on user experience. Government agencies prioritize accessibility.

This reality makes mobile platforms essential. They’re not supplementary channels; they’re primary touchpoints.

Marketing Technology News: Programmatic Ad Platforms With Unique AdTech Features

JPLoft’s expansion strengthens its capacity to deliver mobile solutions designed specifically for the UAE market. These aren’t generic applications adapted for local use.

They’re platforms built from the ground up with regional requirements in mind–multi-language support, payment gateway integration, regulatory compliance, and cultural relevance.

JPLoft works with organizations across sectors: retail, healthcare, fintech, logistics, education, and government services. Each sector has distinct needs. Each platform requires tailored architecture.

The approach is collaborative. JPLoft doesn’t deliver pre-packaged solutions.

Instead, the company partners with clients to understand operational challenges, user expectations, and growth trajectories before building platforms designed for long-term impact.

Advancing AI-Powered Platforms for Travel and High-Growth Sectors

Artificial intelligence is no longer experimental in Dubai. It is actively shaping how services are delivered across travel, mobility, retail, healthcare, and government platforms.

In the travel sector, especially, expectations are high.

Users demand real-time availability, personalized recommendations, seamless bookings, and frictionless experiences across devices and touchpoints.

As a travel app development company in Dubai, JPLoft builds intelligent, scalable platforms that support booking engines, dynamic pricing, itinerary management, location-based services, and personalized user journeys.

These platforms go beyond surface-level automation.

Intelligence is embedded into the core architecture through predictive analytics, natural language interfaces, recommendation engines, and automated decision logic.

Travel platforms use these capabilities to optimize inventory, forecast demand, personalize offers, and improve customer engagement.

The same intelligence extends across hospitality systems, mobility platforms, and connected service ecosystems.

The difference lies in implementation. AI is not treated as an add-on feature. It is designed as infrastructure.

This approach requires strong data foundations, domain understanding, and close alignment between technical teams and business objectives.

JPLoft’s teams combine mobile engineers, AI specialists, and domain experts to build platforms where intelligence translates into measurable performance improvements and long-term scalability.

Flexible Engagement Models for Diverse Organizational Needs

Not every organization needs a full-time development team. Many require specialized expertise for specific projects, defined timelines, or strategic initiatives.

JPLoft’s expansion includes flexible engagement models designed for this reality. Organizations can hire dedicated developers based on project requirements rather than long-term commitments.

This model works particularly well for startups navigating early growth, enterprises exploring new digital channels, and government entities piloting innovative services.

Teams scale up during intensive development phases and scale down during maintenance cycles.

The approach maintains quality while providing flexibility. Developers aren’t generalists pulled from a talent pool-they’re specialists matched to specific technical requirements.

A fintech application gets developers experienced in payment systems and security protocols. A healthcare platform gets developers familiar with compliance standards and data protection.

This flexibility supports the dynamic nature of Dubai’s business environment, where speed and adaptability often determine competitive advantage.

Beyond Development: Building Digital Infrastructure

Mobile applications don’t exist in isolation. They’re part of larger digital ecosystems: backend systems, databases, APIs, third-party integrations, security layers, and analytics platforms.

JPLoft’s approach addresses this complexity. The company doesn’t just build apps; it builds the infrastructure that makes apps effective.

This includes cloud architecture design, API development, database optimization, security implementation, and integration frameworks.

For enterprises with legacy systems, this means building bridges between old infrastructure and new digital channels. For startups, it means creating scalable architecture that supports rapid growth without requiring complete rebuilds.

The technical stack adapts to project requirements rather than forcing projects into predetermined frameworks. Native iOS and Android development for performance-critical applications.

Cross-platform frameworks for faster deployment. Progressive web apps for broader accessibility. The choice depends on use case, not preference.

Alignment With Dubai’s Digital Ambitions

Economic diversification, government excellence, and quality of life improvement define Dubai’s priorities, with digital transformation playing a central role.

JPLoft’s expansion aligns directly with these goals. The company focuses on platforms that drive economic activity, improve service delivery, and enhance user experiences.

For businesses, this means solutions that increase operational efficiency, expand market reach, and improve customer engagement.

For government entities, it means platforms that make services more accessible, transparent, and effective.

For startups, it means technology infrastructure that enables rapid scaling without proportional cost increases.

The emphasis remains on sustainable impact rather than short-term deployment.

Applications are built for longevity, architectures that accommodate future requirements, codebases that support ongoing enhancement, and user experiences that evolve with changing expectations.

What This Means for Dubai’s Digital Ecosystem?

JPLoft’s expanded presence adds capacity to Dubai’s growing technology sector. It increases access to specialized expertise. It provides organizations with additional partnership options for digital initiatives.

The expansion also reflects broader market maturation. Dubai is moving beyond basic digitization toward sophisticated, AI-powered, data-driven platforms that create competitive advantages and unlock new business models.

Organizations pursuing digital transformation need partners who understand both technology capabilities and business requirements.

They need teams that can navigate regulatory frameworks, cultural contexts, and market dynamics specific to the UAE.

JPLoft positions itself as that partner, not by claiming comprehensive expertise across every domain, but by focusing on core strengths: mobile platforms, intelligent systems, and scalable digital infrastructure.

Looking Forward Into The Future

Dubai’s digital transformation is accelerating, not slowing. Long-term strategy defines the path, but progress is delivered through thousands of individual projects, platforms, and systems across sectors.

JPLoft’s expansion is designed to support this execution phase. The company brings technical capabilities, regional understanding, and commitment to building platforms that deliver measurable value.

The focus remains clear: scalable mobile solutions, intelligent systems, and digital infrastructure that support Dubai’s position as a global innovation hub.

As the emirate continues its digital evolution, JPLoft aims to be part of the ecosystem building that future-one platform, one application, one intelligent system at a time.

Prolisto Officially Launches Prolisto Lite, a Free AI-Powered Web App for Creating eBay Listings From Product Photos

Prolisto Reviews | Read Customer Service Reviews of prolisto.com

Prolisto, a software development company specializing in e-commerce automation solutions, has announced the launch of Prolisto Lite, a free AI-powered web application designed to simplify and speed up how sellers create eBay listings. The platform introduces Image-to-Listing technology that allows users to upload a product photo and generate a complete, search-optimized, eBay-compliant listing.

Prolisto Lite is designed to address one of the most common challenges among online resellers, which is the amount of time required to create eBay listing pages. For sellers of used goods, antiques, vintage clothing, collectibles, and other non-barcoded items, the traditional listing process often involves manual typing, research, and data entry. Prolisto Lite enables sellers to move from photo to published listing more quickly.

Using artificial intelligence, Prolisto Lite analyzes uploaded product images and generates an eBay title, a detailed SEO-friendly description, and the appropriate item specifics. The system does not rely on barcodes, manufacturer part numbers, or catalog data, making it useful for unique, second-hand, and vintage inventory where standard listing tools may be less effective.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Lee McCance, Chief Product Officer @ Adverity

The platform is positioned as a specialized AI-based eBay listing tool designed to support non-standard inventory, where accurate identification, structured data, and marketplace compliance are important for visibility and buyer engagement. While eBay provides native listing tools, Prolisto Lite is intended for complex products that require additional data handling and formatting.

“For years, the biggest bottleneck for resellers hasn’t been finding inventory, but the hours spent typing descriptions and researching item specifics,” said Tautvydas Miliauskas, Co-Founder of Prolisto. “We built Prolisto Lite to give hours of time back to sellers. You snap a photo, and our AI handles the heavy lifting in seconds.”

A key feature of Prolisto Lite is that it is offered as a free eBay listing tool, allowing users to access automated listing technology without a subscription fee. This makes the platform available to new eBay sellers, part-time resellers, and independent merchants.

“We believe professional-grade e-commerce automation shouldn’t be reserved for big corporations,” said Vytautas Jakstys, Co-founder of Prolisto. “By making Prolisto Lite free, we are leveling the playing field, allowing anyone with a smartphone and an item to list to be a power seller from day one.”

Marketing Technology News: What is a Full Stack Marketer; What MarTech Matters Most to Full Stack Marketers?

Prolisto Lite is built to align with eBay marketplace requirements. The system structures listings according to eBay policies, including item specifics, formatting, and listing categories, which can help reduce errors that affect visibility or listing status. The platform generates structured, formatted data intended to support search visibility within the marketplace.

The platform supports both Auction and Fixed Price formats, allowing sellers to select the selling method that fits their inventory and pricing strategy.

A demonstration video published by Prolisto shows how Prolisto Lite guides users through the listing process. Sellers upload images in their preferred order, select auction or fixed-price format, set pricing and eBay business policies, review the AI-generated title, description, condition, and item specifics, and submit the listing to eBay. After submission, the seller can view the live listing on eBay.

Prolisto Lite functions as an AI-based eBay listing generator designed to reduce the time required to prepare listings. The system converts image data into listing content so sellers can focus on sourcing, selling, and managing inventory.

The launch of Prolisto Lite follows Prolisto’s broader mission to improve e-commerce efficiency across multiple marketplaces. Founded in 2017, Prolisto develops tools for online sellers, including inventory management, automated pricing, and order fulfillment services for platforms such as eBay and Amazon. Prolisto Lite extends that mission by providing image-based listing automation to a wider group of sellers.

Catalyst IQ Unveils Intelligent SEO/AEO Technology to Increase Automotive AI Search Results

New automotive marketing solution helps automotive retailers match keywords to organic traffic potential and align inventory with true customer demand

Catalyst IQ announced a new Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) product built specifically for AI‑driven search results, at the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) convention. Designed to help automotive dealers show up when car shoppers search on Google or use AI answer engines, Catalyst IQ’s SEO/AEO solution leverages real-time market intelligence to influence SEO planning and content. It takes SEO to another level by factoring market demand, current inventory and local, competitive movement.

For years, most dealership SEO relied on static keyword lists, historical trends, and generic templates. Catalyst IQ’s new solution flips the script by measuring market demand and potential vs. keywords. It aligns SEO, AEO, and GEO to real inventory, pricing, and in‑market demand, enabling dealers to capture high‑intent queries—including AI‑generated answers—with content grounded in sales reality.

As AI platforms rapidly reshape online shopping behavior, consumer search language and keyword trends now evolve faster than traditional SEO models can keep up. Powered by MarketAI®, Catalyst IQ’s SEO solution continuously pulls and analyzes search signals from AI‑driven platforms, enabling automotive retailers to update vehicle content pages faster.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Kurt Donnell, CEO @ Freestar

MarketAI also leverages AI and live market data to identify which vehicles on a dealer’s lot need additional support to sell. By comparing their own inventory to inventory and pricing from local competitors, retailers can better plan campaigns for specific vehicles and models.

“This is a transformative search tool,” said Aaron James, President of Product and Operations for Catalyst IQ. “By utilizing AI, we’re able to optimize results across search and answer engines in ways that were not previously possible.”

With this new solution, dealers can expect:

  • Search optimization designed for AI answer experiences across Google and leading platforms
  • Market‑driven planning that prioritizes high‑impact vehicle segments and locations
  • Content strategy aligned to real market opportunity rather than just static keyword analysis

Intermedia Expands Auto Dealership Communications Solution with Reynolds & Reynolds Integration to Drive Greater Engagement and Growth

With a new integration to Reynolds & Reynolds’ dealership management and customer relationship management systems, Intermedia’s intelligent communications platform helps dealerships respond faster, personalize service, and strengthen customer loyalty.


Intermedia Intelligent Communications, a global leader in AI-powered cloud communications, collaboration, and customer engagement solutions, announced a new integration that expands its Auto Dealership Communications Solution. Designed specifically for automotive dealerships, the solution now connects directly with Reynolds & Reynolds’ dealership management system (DMS) and customer relationship management (CRM) platforms to support more connected, responsive sales and service interactions.

Delivered through Intermedia Unite®, the company’s unified communications platform with built-in contact center capabilities, or through the Intermedia Contact Center as a standalone offering, the Auto Dealership Communications Solution enables dealerships to link every call, message, and interaction to critical customer and vehicle data within Reynolds & Reynolds systems.

Built specifically for automotive dealerships, the Auto Dealership Communications Solution combines advanced call handling, SMS and mobile communications, and AI-powered workflows to keep sales and service teams connected in and out of the showroom.

By reducing missed calls, enabling faster access to customer records, and supporting digital channels such as SMS, dealerships can engage customers more effectively and complete sales more efficiently. Automated notifications and call logs help ensure interactions are captured and followed up on, while a single mobile-ready application keeps staff connected wherever they are.

More than 26,000 automotive users already rely on Intermedia’s platform to support growth and enhance the customer journey. The Reynolds & Reynolds integration gives dealerships an even stronger way to modernize how they communicate and compete on customer experience.

“Dealerships aren’t interested in one-time transactions – they’re creating relationships that last for years,” said Jonathan McCormick, COO and Head of Sales at Intermedia. “Our Auto Dealership Communications Solution was built with that reality in mind. By pairing advanced communications with direct integration into Reynolds & Reynolds DMS and CRM systems, we’re helping dealerships deliver faster, more personal, and more trusted interactions that drive loyalty and long-term growth.”

  • Faster resolutions through smart call routing and reduced wait times
  • More personalized conversations with immediate access to customer information

“Intermedia’s expanded Auto Dealership Communications Solution shows a clear understanding of how dealerships actually work: keep teams in one mobile-ready system, capture every interaction, and sync it to the systems of record,” said Jim Lundy, Founder, CEO and Lead Analyst, Aragon Research.

Fasoo Advances Personal Data Protection with AI-Powered Detection and Encryption

fasoo_logo

Fasoo, the leader in data-centric security and AI-ready data governance, introduces an approach to personal data protection that goes beyond simple discovery to provide automated detection, encryption, and embedded policy enforcement across unstructured data.

“Traditional personal data discovery tools often miss critical sensitive information or generate excessive false positives, complicating regulatory compliance and audit readiness,” said Jason Sohn, Executive Managing Director at Fasoo. “With Fasoo Data Radar and Fasoo AI-R Privacy, organizations can discover and identify personal data with higher context and accuracy, and automatically encrypt and apply security tags and access controls directly to the files so policies stay with the data wherever it travels.”

Enterprises and public institutions handle personal data across documents, logs, images, emails, scanned files, and other unstructured formats, where keyword- or regex-based methods often fail to accurately detect sensitive content or generate excessive noise.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Lee McCance, Chief Product Officer @ Adverity

The combined approach of Fasoo Data Radar and Fasoo AI-R Privacy addresses these challenges by using context-aware, domain-trained AI models to improve detection quality. Once sensitive data is identified, protection controls are applied to reduce exposure during storage, sharing, and external collaboration.

When deployed together, Fasoo Data Radar and Fasoo AI-R Privacy provide:

• AI-powered detection of PII with reduced misses and false positives
• Broad unstructured data coverage, including documents, logs, images, and scanned files
• File-level encryption to keep detected or tagged data protected at rest, in transit, and in use
• Embedded security labels and ACLs so governance policies travel with each document
• More consistent compliance operations by applying regulatory and internal rules across protected data

Marketing Technology News: What is a Full Stack Marketer; What MarTech Matters Most to Full Stack Marketers?

With this integrated approach, organizations can achieve end-to-end governance while reducing data breach risks, simplifying audits, and building a secure foundation for AI-enabled workflows.

Organizations are increasingly seeking security architectures that deliver both operational control and long-term scalability. By combining AI-powered data discovery with persistent file-level protection, Fasoo enables enterprises to build more resilient privacy and compliance frameworks. This approach supports sustained adoption across regulated industries and reflects Fasoo’s continued momentum in addressing evolving data security and AI governance demands.

IFS Nexus Black Launches Resolve for Utilities

  • Resolve addresses most costly inefficiencies facing Utility providers: workforce shortages, aging infrastructure, and extreme weather response

  • Next-generation technician management, fault reporting, and predictive maintenance for Field Service Management embeds Industrial AI to transform disaster response and grid modernization 

IFS, the world’s leading provider of Industrial AI software, launched IFS Nexus Black Resolve for Utilities – purpose-built and combining decades of utilities expertise with cutting-edge AI capabilities to revolutionize the most inefficient element of field service operations. The announcement was made at DISTRIBUTECH® International 2026, where IFS is demonstrating how utilities can apply AI to navigate increasingly complex challenges – from aging infrastructure and extreme weather to workforce constraints, rising customer expectations, and increasing regulatory pressure.

Resolve for Utilities represents a breakthrough in how energy and utilities companies respond to disasters, manage daily operations, and modernize the grid. Developed by IFS Nexus Black, the solution extends proven IFS Field Service Management technology with AI to deliver rapid innovation that gets results in weeks, not months – while maintaining the reliability, scalability, and security that utilities demand.

AI That Understands the Realities of Utilities Operations

Unlike generic AI solutions designed for white-collar workers, Resolve for Utilities is designed for the field technicians, planners, and crews who keep the lights on and water flowing. The solution addresses the stark realities facing utilities: skilled workforce shortages, extreme weather events increasing in frequency and severity, aging infrastructure requiring urgent modernization, and communities expecting faster restoration times.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Lee McCance, Chief Product Officer @ Adverity

Transformative Capabilities for Modern Utilities Built on a Foundation of Innovation 

Resolve for Utilities introduces a powerful suite of capabilities to revolutionize field service operations in the face of these compounding challenges, ensuring that the “last mile” to the customer is state-of-the-art, setting the bar for Workforce Management today and tomorrow, regardless of work or worker type.

  • Intelligent Crew Callout for Rapid Response: Resolve uses AI to coordinate crews for essential work – from planned maintenance on aging infrastructure to emergency response during floods, storms, or wildfires. The system provides real-time visibility into crew availability, seamlessly communicates with field workers, and manages operations across regions and states – freeing up planners to focus on strategic decisions while AI handles coordination friction.
  • Mutual Aid Technology for Large-Scale Disasters: When major storms strike, utilities must rapidly coordinate with neighboring companies. Resolve’s Mutual Aid capabilities use AI to enable seamless communication and resource sharing across organizational boundaries, protecting communities faster when they need it most.
  • Intelligent Support for Field Crews: Resolve’s enhanced mobile capability dramatically improves field crew productivity through intelligent guidance based on real-time data, equipment images, and historical patterns.

The new solution extends IFS’s track record as the trusted* partner for utilities worldwide. IFS already delivers the most comprehensive Asset Lifecycle Management platform on the market, including Asset Investment Planning, Capital Project Management, Supply Management, and AI-based Scheduling Optimization, integrated with the recognized #1 Enterprise Asset Management** solution.

Marketing Technology News: What is a Full Stack Marketer; What MarTech Matters Most to Full Stack Marketers?

Carol Johnston, Vice President, Energy & Utilities, IFS, said: “Utilities are navigating an increasingly complex operating environment — from workforce constraints to extreme weather and grid modernization, with increasingly high customer expectations. Our intense attention to this area reflects both our heritage in Utilities FSM and our commitment to evolving alongside our customers with modern, practical innovation. Nobody understands the utilities market like IFS, and it’s this industry-specific application of AI that is enabling the Utility providers we work with to radically improve efficiencies and deliver better moments of service to their own customers.”

Kriti Sharma, CEO of IFS Nexus Black, said: “Our approach is simple: listen closely to our utility customers, innovate quickly where it matters most, and deliver solutions that perform under real-world conditions – fast. This is AI designed for the workers who restore power in treacherous conditions, who scale transmission poles after disasters, and who keep critical infrastructure running 24/7. When lives are on the line, safe, reliable AI isn’t optional – it’s everything.”

Experience Resolve for Utilities at DISTRIBUTECH® International 2026, booth #6025: IFS is demonstrating how Resolve for Utilities translates into real-world outcomes – from everyday field service execution to large-scale emergency response in the wake of floods, storms, and fires. Attendees are invited to engage with IFS product and industry experts to learn more about the future of Utilities FSM.

Dokie AI Launches Enhanced AI Presentation Maker for More Professional, Polished Slides

Dokie AI launches an enhanced AI Presentation Maker that delivers smoother generation, helping creators build high-quality presentations with an AI PPT Maker.

Dokie AI, announced the launch of its upgraded AI Presentation Maker, designed to deliver smoother generation, improved structure, and more professional presentation results for modern teams and creators.

As businesses and individuals increasingly rely on presentations for communication, decision-making, and storytelling, the demand for tools that balance speed with quality continues to grow. Dokie AI’s latest release aims to address this gap by offering an AI PPT Maker that not only generates slides quickly, but also improves clarity, layout consistency, and overall presentation logic.

The enhanced AI Presentation Maker allows users to transform ideas, text, or documents into well-structured slide decks with minimal friction. By improving content flow and visual hierarchy, Dokie AI helps presentations feel more cohesive and easier to follow—especially for users who already have experience creating slides and want to elevate their output with AI.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Michael McNeal, VP of Product at SALESmanago

Unlike many AI tools that focus solely on automation, Dokie AI is built to support professional workflows. The platform works alongside the user’s existing skills, enhancing structure and design rather than replacing creative control. This approach makes Dokie AI particularly useful for professionals who care about presentation quality, such as business teams, consultants, educators, and startup founders.

With the latest update, Dokie AI has significantly improved the overall generation experience. The new workflow delivers faster responses, smoother transitions between slides, and more consistent formatting across the entire deck. Users can generate presentations, refine layouts, and adjust content directly within Dokie AI, reducing the repetitive manual work often required by traditional slide tools.

As an AI Slides Generator, Dokie AI supports a wide range of real-world use cases, including pitch decks, internal reports, training materials, and educational presentations. By combining intelligent content organization with practical design systems, the platform helps users produce presentations that are not only visually cleaner, but also more effective in communicating ideas.

Marketing Technology News: Complexity as a Cost Center: The Hidden Financial Burden of Fragmented Martech Stacks

“Presentations are still one of the most important tools in business and education, but the process of creating them hasn’t evolved much,” said the Dokie AI team. “With this release, we want to help people who already know how to build slides create more professional results, faster and with less friction.”

Based in Singapore, Dokie AI continues to focus on building AI-powered tools that improve everyday productivity without disrupting existing workflows. The company sees AI as a way to enhance professional skills, not replace them, and this philosophy is reflected in the design of its AI Presentation Maker.

The upgraded AI PPT Maker is now available on Dokie AI, offering users a smoother, more reliable way to generate high-quality presentations with AI.
