AI Can Now Create Customizable Recipes – Here’s How A Robotic Food Automation Company Has Been Using AI To Become An Industry Leader

Blendid

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Interested in investing in Blendid’s campaign? Click here to get started! Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is quickly proving to be a driver of innovation and efficiency and is fast becoming a normal part of life. In November 2022, tech and news outlet CNET started using AI to write financial articles. The articles were so well-written that the vast majority of the public didn’t realize until a tweet went viral. AI technology is rapidly expanding, and some companies like Blendid have looked to ensure they are ahead of the curve, having made early deployments of AI in their solutions. Whether for restaurant owners or at-home cooks, finding or creating the perfect recipe is a big undertaking. Not only do they have to craft a perfect blend of flavors, but they also have to figure out what they and their customers enjoy. Now imagine they are able to find the best recipes possible for their needs, but they didn’t have to do any of the hard work of producing them. Blendid is looking to revolutionize the game by doing just that, leveraging AI to produce better solutions. The company uses AI technology to create the most appealing recipes for its consumers. Blendid is a robotic and AI-enabled food automation solution company; it currently operates fully autonomous robotic kiosks for smoothies. By using consumer data from purchase behavior, ratings and reviews, and questionnaires, Blendid’s AI system is able to create the best recipes to put on a menu for a particular location. One of the company's best-selling drinks, Sunrise.ai, was crafted completely by AI! Blendid has even gone one step further and is developing a feature to use AI to create customized individual recipes. While this feature is currently only available at the lab, the company is seeing incredible feedback from test subjects and is looking forward to bringing it to the public in the near future. This feature could be especially groundbreaking because it will allow the robot-automated kiosks to create curated recipes for consumers that appeal to their taste preferences while taking into account any allergies and dietary restrictions. In the future, Blendid plans to align its AI-driven recipes with consumers’ personal microbiomes, satisfying both the gut and their taste palate. Blendid reports that its technology-driven model is performing extremely well. In combination with kiosks that can operate 24/7, consumers have access to healthy and personalized food around the clock while the company is able to maintain low operational costs and high margins. Blendid kiosks operate in universities, travel centers, retail stores, and hospitals across the country. The company most recently saw a 267% year-over-year revenue increase. Blendid is currently hosting a raise to expand its concept further. The company is currently working on expanding to a dozen additional geographies in the near future and has 500+ kiosks in contract. Previously, they raised more than $26 million. Interested in investing and being a part of their growth story? Click here to read more about Blendid’s raise and how to invest!

Substrate AI

Madrid, February 2023.- Substrate AI, the artificial intelligence company listed on the BME Growth, has closed 2022 with a growth in revenues of 100% reaching 4 million euros of total revenues and fulfilling its business plan. All this, improving the projected negative EBITDA, thus reducing operating losses. Growth has been sustained mainly in the areas of health, agritechand HRH, where its subsidiary companies are growing with a focus on the application of AI in their businesses. In turn, the company has developed several AI projects for external companies that have allowed it to boost its consulting area. "We are happy with the end of 2022 that has led us to reach 4 million total turnover, but the most important thing is that we have been able to meet the times and objectives in terms of the development of AI solutions, boosting the products and capabilities of each of our subsidiaries and business areas to be able to continue growing in the future at the pace we have proposed. As we already published when we went public, we have a very ambitious plan that should lead us to obtain very high growth over the next few years supported by the adoption of AI in companies, which grows at rates above 30%. In this sense, the work of 2022 is simply the first stone of this project." says José Iván García, CEO of the company. The company published in its business plan a growth forecast of another 100% for 2023 that will lead it to invoice more than 8 million euros and that will be supported by growth in all business areas. Substrate AI bases its business model on the application of its patented AI technology inspired by biology in sectors such as health, agritech, HR,energy or finance, through subsidiaries focused on each of these areas and consulting work for large companies that require customized solutions. In addition, Substrate AI continues to develop new technological capabilities together with Rensselaer Institute of New York, now related to building sustainable AI that saves time and energy in building models.

News Release

Stocks With News Making Moves (EPAZ, AITX, SYTA, RECHF)

RazorPitch EPAZ

One of the key factors that can influence the performance of a stock is the news release by the company whose stock you are interested in. News releases can provide valuable information about a company's financial performance, business operations, and future prospects, all of which can impact the direction in which a stock is headed. For investors, it is important to pay attention to company news in order to make informed decisions about buying, holding, or selling shares. Investors can better understand the risks and opportunities involved by staying up to date on recent events at the companies they are interested in. This allows an investor to make more informed decisions regarding their portfolios. Let’s take a look at four stocks that released important information this week to add to your watchlist. Epazz, Inc. (OTC: EPAZ) is a mission-critical provider of drone technology, blockchain mobile apps, and cloud-based business software solutions. On Monday, February 27, EPAZ announced that it had submitted Phase 1 SBIR proposals to the US government. According to ZenaDrone, which is a spinoff of Epazz Inc., the company will hear back from the government within 90 days. This announcement bears some impactful implications, as if ZenaDrone is in fact awarded a Phase 1 contract, which carries a value of up to $75,000 per proposal, EPAZ will be able to submit for Phase 2 contracts, with a value of up to $1.2 million per contract. The SBIR program is designed to get products into the government market. It has additional phases that open up major government contracts worth up to $15 million over the next three years. Additionally, if ZenaDrone is a part of the program, there will be opportunities to sell our drones to US allies. CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D., said, "We are taking multiple pathways to become a government contractor of drones. It is a major opportunity for us, as Chinese drones are banned in the US government. It has opened up major demands for our drones.” EPAZ hopes to take advantage of the Chinese drone ban, as currently, the US government has a major need for non-Chinese drones. The government is pushing initiatives to obtain made-in-America drones through their BlueUAS program. ZenaDrone is currently in the process of applying for BlueUAS, and according to EPAZ, the current list is very short. ZenaDrone Inc. is a provider of a multifunctional unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with machine learning systems, multispectral sensors, and AI technology. ZenaDrone uses the data its cameras capture to create a 3D interactive environment. The ZenaDrone team will use predictive AI analytics, a type of analysis that employs methods and resources to create predictive models and make forecasts of future outcomes based on acquired data. Techniques utilized in predictive analytics include machine learning algorithms, sophisticated mathematics, statistical modeling, descriptive analytics, and data mining. By continuing to advance its AI technology, Epazz Holdings will place a priority on developing the ZenaDrone 1000 in order to expand its reach across industries globally. For investors looking for the potential of the high returns that the OTC markets offer, EPAZ offers an attractive play, with competitive technology that the company continues to improve and invest in. Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTC: AITX) is a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions for enterprise clients. AITX focuses on the delivery of artificial intelligence-based solutions that allow organizations to gain new insight, solve complex challenges, and fuel new business ideas. Through its next-generation robotic product offerings, AITX's RAD, RAD-M, and RAD-G, the company is helping organizations streamline operations, increase ROI, and strengthen their businesses. On February 27, AITX announced that their wholly owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc., has secured orders exceeding 300 units as the end of its fiscal year approaches. The company's fiscal year is set to conclude on February 28, 2023. With this impressive number of device orders received, AITX has proven its capacity to develop solutions that are both compelling and deliverable to picky customers. Demand for RAD's products is increasing, which is evidence of the company's exceptional innovation, quality, customer-centric philosophy, and expanding experience delivery. Premium customer experiences are positive for the company's capacity to grow. The stock experienced significant investor interest after the news release, and it ended the day Monday up 14.07%. Siyata Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ: SYTA) is a B2B global provider of innovative, next-generation push-to-talk over cellular technology solutions that include its devices and cellular booster systems. The SYTA selection of consumer- and enterprise-grade cellular booster systems enables first responders and office workers to amplify cellular signals in off-the-grid locations, inside weakened structural buildings, and inside vehicles for the strongest cellular signal possible. On Monday, the 27th, SYTA announced the launch of the Siyata T600 Cellular Booster for T-Mobile 5G enterprise customers. The T600 Cellular Booster is designed to enhance signal strength and improve reception for T-Mobile 5G enterprise customers. This device is intended to deliver crystal-clear voice quality and lightning-fast data speeds, ensuring that users stay connected and productive. "Our T600 Cellular Booster represents the next generation of cellular solutions for enterprise customers," said Marc Seelenfreund, CEO of Siyata Mobile. "With its advanced 5G technology, the T600 provides the ultimate solution for T-Mobile 5G enterprise customers who need enhanced signal strength and improved reception." The stock rose 9.09% on Monday following the release; keep an eye out to see if it can carry the momentum throughout the week. Recharge Resources (CSE: RR) (OTC: RECHF) is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on exploring and developing the production of high-value battery metals to create green, renewable energy to meet the demands of the advancing electric vehicle and fuel cell vehicle markets. RECHF announced on Monday that it had signed an option agreement with Spey Resources Corp. under which Recharge Resources could acquire up to a 100% undivided interest in the Pocitos 2 Project, a 532-hectare lithium brine project located just outside of Salta, Argentina, and adjacent to the company's ongoing operations at the Pocitos salar. Previous surface sampling, trenching, and VTEM geophysics carried out in 2018 suggest the continuity of the targeted lithium brine aquifer continuing from the Pocitos 1 block through the Pocitos 2 block, with Pit 10 from trenching on the Pocitos 2 block having the highest trench sample at 181 PPM lithium, the highest lithium value found on the Pocitos salar to date. Drilling from the company's 2022 drill campaign at Pocitos 1 assayed 169 PPM, and over a two-week period, it averaged 161 PPM lithium. The 2022 well outperformed both the Recharges technical team's expectations and the measured lithium content of the 2018 discovery wells. Pocitos 2 is permitted to drill two additional wells immediately at Recharge's signal. Following the release of the news, the RECHF stock rose 6.25% at Monday's closing. Investors looking to gain from the high demand for lithium should keep Recharge Resources on their watchlist.

i2Coalition Launches Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative to Promote Industry Best Practices

Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative

Web data aggregators (“web scraping”) gather available data from around the Internet; enabling consumer confidence, commercial innovation, and community safety. To drive further awareness of and public trust in this crucial digital ability, the Internet Infrastructure Coalition (i2Coalition) has announced the launch of the Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative (EWDCI). This international, industry-led, and member-driven consortium of web data aggregation business leaders is focused on encouraging dialogue and improving digital peace of mind for consumers and companies. By establishing the EWDCI, the i2Coalition seeks to foster cooperation within the data aggregation industry and build a framework to establish an open, participatory process around the development of legal and ethical web scraping provider principles that will lead to greater accountability. The EWDCI is actively seeking more members of the data scraping field dedicated to establishing best practices to join and help shape the initiative’s early efforts. “The public deserves digital peace of mind, and ‘scraping’ doesn’t have to be a dirty word when it is done responsibly, but responsibility needs defining,” said Christian Dawson, the i2Coalition’s Executive Director. “As with any industry in these early stages, it has a unique opportunity to have a hand in how it is developed and perceived.” The web data aggregation industry is young and growing, and the founding members of the EWDCI are committed to serve as the voice of this emerging industry. This means collaboratively building public trust in the practice of data aggregation, promoting ethical guidelines, and helping businesses make informed data aggregation choices. Founding EWDCI members include five companies: Coresignal, Oxylabs, Smartproxy, Rayobyte, and Zyte. Web scraping enables business innovation and competition, provides consumer benefits—including serving accurate information and comprehensive pricing—and facilitates thorough data analysis for academic and public safety purposes. Some noteworthy use cases include: E-commerce price intelligence, including up-to-the-minute comparative information on same-item pricing across the internet Jobs and real estate listing aggregation Social listening and brand monitoring Alternative data for investment decision-making Businesses performing a thorough review of consumer trends and competitor companies worldwide to best position themselves for success Companies scanning the Internet data for illicit uses of their intellectual property Businesses confirming validity of marketing spend via ad verification Data aggregation companies supplying pro-bono scraped data to academic researchers, providing them vast data stores for essential research To properly provide these benefits to consumers, companies, and the public at large, data aggregators need to follow ethical practices. Such dedication will serve to further understanding of the data aggregation practice and process, and further the adoption of this technology. Key to this is a safe and community-minded application of aggregation, and therefore a positive reputation for the practice and its practitioners. The i2Coalition is the leading voice for businesses that build the internet, and has spearheaded the creation of similar efforts to create standardized industry benchmarks—such as the VPN Trust Initiative, which determined and promoted best practices for that vital industry. “The EWDCI aims to reach companies with this message of ethical data aggregation, as well as to educate consumers at large and legislators worldwide in the interest of informed, empowered action,” said Dawson. “This will promote industry-led stewardship of important—and already widely adopted—technology in the interest of solving any present challenges and setting the industry up for forthcoming success.” To learn more about the EWDCI, please visit www.ethicalwebdata.com. To become a member, please email Hilary Osborne. To learn more about the i2Coalition, please visit www.i2Coalition.com. About the Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative The Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative (EWDCI) seeks to foster cooperation in the web data collection and aggregation industry and leverage collective first-hand knowledge and insights to advocate for beneficial technical standards and business best practices regarding the aggregation of data. The EWDCI is dedicated to serving as the voice of the industry, collaboratively strengthening public trust in the practice of Data Aggregation, promoting ethical guidelines, and helping businesses make informed data aggregation choices.

CleverTap’s Fintech Benchmark Report: Only 1 in 5 users that install fintech apps sign up within week one

CleverTap

CleverTap, the modern integrated retention cloud, released its Industry Benchmark Report for Fintech Apps 2022. As fintech apps continue to grow more popular, the number of players vying for market share has increased. This has subsequently reduced customer retention and “stickiness” for any one brand. Therefore, today more than ever, it is crucial that fintech companies find ways to drive customer “stickiness” by engaging users in effective ways that eventually drive transactions and fuel growth. The report reflects data collected from Asia-Pacific, Europe, India, Latin America, Middle-East, and North America. The report gives marketers a truly holistic view of key metrics within the fintech app landscape.It also spans a wide variety of fintech apps, including, but not limited to, mobile payment apps, cryptocurrency, and block chain services, along with banking and insurance among others. These insights will not only serve as a helpful starting point for developing successful engagement strategies, but also assist in understanding how an app fares in comparison to global averages. Some of the key metrics in the report include: Install to sign-up rate: Only 1 in 5 users that install fintech apps (21%) end up signing up within the first week. Average time to sign-up: 70% of the users that sign-up, do so within 75 seconds of launching the app for the first time. Sign-up to conversion rate: 95% of newly signed-up users make at least one financial transaction in the first month. Average time to convert: 76% of newly signed-up users move from onboarding to deeper-in-the-funnel engagement within an average of 7 days. Session frequency: On average, fintech app users launch their app around 11 times a month. Average repeat transaction rate for new users: 15% of newly signed-up users complete more than one transaction in the first week. Average click-through rate for push notifications: On average, 9% of Android users and 6% of iOS users will click on and interact with push notifications. Average click-through rate for in-app notifications: The click-through rate for in-app notifications is 24%, that’s about 3 times more than that of push notifications. Average email open rate: 34% users open emails sent by fintech companies Average Stickiness Quotient: Fintech apps enjoy a stickiness quotient of 22%, that indicates nearly one-quarter of MAUs consistently return to their fintech apps “The fintech industry has seen exponential growth in the last few years. Given the relentless competition within the space, fintech platforms need to step up their Omnichannel engagement efforts to better retain customers,” said Jacob Joseph, VP-Data Science, CleverTap. “The benchmark metrics laid out in our report provide a great starting point for growth marketers looking to develop effective marketing strategies. They will be able to compare numbers against global averages and pinpoint which aspects they are excelling at and which areas could use some attention or innovation.” 95% of new fintech users complete a monetary transaction in the first month. This shows that while users see value in fintech apps, it’s important to adopt customized user engagement strategies to boost retention on the platform. Today there is a real need for fintech brands to bake-in effective marketing strategies within their apps. Users will remain responsive as long as the experience is engaging and seamless. The benchmark report helps fintech apps understand how to build successful mobile communication campaigns, and also allows growth marketers to discover areas that require greater focus.

CYIOS CORP’S HELIO LENDING HAS WEATHERED THE CRYPTO CORRECTION

CYIOS Corp.

McapMediaWire -- CYIOS Corp’s: (OTC: CYIO ), a blockchain-focused holding company with operations in Crypto-lending, Web3 and NFT’s is pleased to provide the following update on the Company’s Helio Lending cryptocurrency CeFi aggregator platform business. Mr. John O’Shea, Cyios Corp Chairman commented, “While it’s been some tough sailing for many in the crypto space, we are pleased to say that Helio has weathered the crypto storm that has beleaguered the industry over the last year. Helio has differentiated itself by offering customers an array of loan options, as provided by a panel of lenders carrying various terms and structures, with the ability to pick from the best terms and rates available at any given time. Centralized finance, called 'CeFi' allows people to get loans on their cryptocurrency by lending or borrowing through a centralized corporation. At no time does Helio take crypto risk by doing direct lending or carrying crypto on its books, rather it performs a white-glove concierge referral service for customers looking for a higher level of service with direct contact to the various lenders. Just recently Helio had several million dollars of rollovers whereby the customers chose to keep their funds with the lender at the end of the loan term and roll into another loan. Why is this important? First of all, we evaluated multiple lenders and graded them from low risk to high risk taking into account various factors. Our affiliate panel lenders have withstood the test of time, are very professional, have extensive knowledge of financial markets and products, and their back office compliance is strong. Helio did the work for our clients in evaluating the field of lenders and none of the prominent players that crashed and lost billions are or were on our list of lenders. The company looks forward to providing additional updates soon in regards to other business developments management is working on.” CONTACT INFORMATION Public and Investor Relations: admin@cyioscorporation.com Investors are encouraged to follow CYIOS using: www.twitter.com/cyioscorp About Helio Lending, PTY LTD Founded in 2018, Helio Lending has developed a CeFi cryptocurrency lending platform comprised of a panel of affiliate lenders providing access to the most competitive rates and offers for crypto loans.
