Skywork recently announced the launch of Skywork Desktop, a Windows system client that brings agentic AI workflows to where work actually happens. Built for sustained productivity, it extends intelligent agents beyond browser-based interactions into a persistent workspace, combining local file intelligence, a privacy-first architecture, and an execution environment designed for continuous, real-world use — marking a key step in Skywork’s effort to build what it describes as an “AI version of Office.”

Skywork Desktop highlights its capabilities across three key areas:

• Local file understanding without uploads, allowing agents to work from user-selected folders as a persistent context rather than relying on one-off attachments.
• Privacy-first processing is designed to ensure that workflows and data handling align with requirements.
• A format aligned with knowledge workers’ operational style, supporting repeatable, multi-step tasks instead of isolated, single-session chat interactions.

The launch places Skywork Desktop in the emerging desktop AI agent category alongside established solutions such as Claude Cowork, while emphasizing a Windows-native approach and deeper integration with local work environments. As AI shifts from conversational tools to operational systems, Skywork Desktop is designed for users who require agents that can operate in real-world conditions — across files, tasks, and ongoing projects — rather than in temporary browser sessions.

Introducing Skywork Desktop

Skywork Desktop is building what it describes as an AI version of Office — a system designed to help users turn ideas into professional outputs across multiple formats, including documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and more.

Skywork Desktop expands this ecosystem by introducing a dedicated, Windows-based workspace that extends its capabilities to the desktop. Rather than operating as a browser-only assistant responding to isolated prompts, it is positioned as a persistent AI-powered environment where agents can plan, execute, and adapt within the context of local files and evolving projects. The product is built around multi-step workflows, emphasizing continuity and operational context over one-off queries.

Looking ahead, Skywork said its broader vision is to make agentic AI a practical, always-available “work layer” for knowledge workers — software that not only generates content, but also helps coordinate the steps required to complete fundamental tasks end to end in a work environment. The company plans to continue investing in desktop-first experiences that reduce tool-switching and friction, with a focus on deeper integration into everyday work environments, stronger controls for organizations, and workflow capabilities that can scale from individual productivity to team and enterprise use.

Why Skywork Desktop Changes the Workflow

Many of today’s AI productivity tools remain primarily browser-based — well-suited for quick, single-turn tasks, but often less effective for sustained, file-intensive work. In practice, users can face recurring friction, including repeated uploads, session-to-session context loss, limited ability to work across extensive local file collections, and fragmented multi-step workflows.

Skywork Desktop is positioned as a response to that gap, arguing that real professional work unfolds inside folders, documents, spreadsheets, and layered project structures — not isolated chat windows. By bringing agentic workflows directly onto the Windows desktop, the company said it aims to support continuous productivity and enable users to run parallel tasks for different demands without interrupting active work.

Skywork brings agentic workflows to the Windows desktop and is designed to reduce the gap between thinking and creating:

• Human reasoning remains in focus.
• The system does not replace user judgment; it augments decision-making with structured assistance that understands context across files and tasks.

Local File Intelligence

Skywork Desktop is designed to work with documents stored on a user’s computer without requiring large-scale uploads, and it extends beyond basic filename searches. Skywork Desktop system can:

• Semantically index content, interpreting meaning rather than relying on filenames alone.
• Read and interpret context across documents to support cross-file understanding.
• Map relationships at the project level, connecting materials into a coherent knowledge structure.

As a result, Skywork users can search using natural language, generate summaries grounded in their own materials, and produce structured outputs based on the substance of the documents — not just metadata.

Privacy and Security by Design

Skywork Desktop is built around local processing, with core file understanding performed on the user’s device. Skywork Desktop's primary working files are not uploaded to the cloud, reflecting a “privacy by design” approach.

The company summarized the principle as: “Your data never leaves, security stays with you.”

Architecturally, Skywork described the system as combining local data processing with permission isolation. Operations run inside a locally isolated virtual machine environment, which the company said is intended to reduce risks such as accidental deletion, corruption, or unintended exposure of original files. Skywork added that user access rights and file boundaries are enforced during execution to help contain what the system can access and modify.

Skywork has not announced specific security certifications for Skywork Desktop at this stage, but said the product is designed to minimize the risk of information leakage.

Windows Desktop Client

Skywork Desktop is currently available as a Windows desktop application, designed for day-to-day office work and longer, workflow-driven sessions that benefit from direct access to local environments. macOS support is not yet available.

Skywork said the desktop client also supports dynamic model selection, allowing the system to choose different models depending on the task — optimizing for reasoning quality, multimodal output, or execution speed rather than relying on a single-model setup.

Built-In Professional Skills

Skywork said Skywork Desktop includes a curated library of 100-plus practical skills spanning document generation, web page creation, image production, video workflows, and other day-to-day professional tasks. The company said the system can recommend relevant skills automatically based on the job at hand, while also allowing users to select skills manually for greater control over how workflows run.

In the Desktop Agent Race

Skywork Desktop is positioning itself within the emerging category of AI-agent productivity systems — tools that go beyond single-turn chat to support end-to-end workflows. The space includes products such as Claude Cowork, which have helped define expectations for agent-oriented work environments.

According to Skywork, Skywork Desktop differentiates through native Windows support, multi-model flexibility, and multimodal output, targeting professionals who manage high volumes of information in Windows-based setups. The company says the desktop client is designed to preserve workflow continuity — reducing the need to bounce between fragmented browser sessions and to reload context repeatedly.

Skywork also shared internal benchmarking observations suggesting meaningful time savings in specific workflows. In internal tests, Skywork reported that some tasks were completed in under 10 minutes, compared with around 20 minutes for similar workflows in comparable environments.

Importantly, Skywork emphasized that it is not positioning Skywork Desktop as a replacement for, or a “domestic version” of, any single competing product. Instead, the Skywork framed it as a desktop-first approach built around local intelligence and continuous, project-based execution.

Who Skywork Desktop Is Designed For

Skywork Desktop is designed for Windows-based knowledge workers who spend their day handling information, producing structured outputs, and managing evolving projects across multiple files and formats. Target users include:

• Researchers working with large bodies of reference materials
• Marketers developing content and campaign assets
• Analysts synthesizing data and reports
• Product managers coordinating documentation and planning materials
• Founders overseeing strategic and operational workflows
• Creators producing professional-grade digital outputs

Skywork said the product is particularly relevant for professionals and teams where confidentiality is critical, as well as for users looking to integrate AI into sustained, real-world productivity workflows — not just isolated, one-off tasks.

Pricing

Skywork Desktop is currently available as a Windows-only desktop application. Access is included with a Skywork.ai membership, with pricing at $49.99 per month for the Plus plan and $19.99 per month for the Basic plan. Furthermore, the desktop client in the Skywork ecosystem is unlimited for eligible subscribers.

About Skywork

Skywork describes its mission as building an “AI version of Office” — a work system that helps people turn ideas into professional outcomes across formats, from documents and research to presentations, web experiences, and applications. The company said its long-term goal is to narrow the distance between thinking and creating by making agentic assistance more practical in day-to-day work, while keeping human judgment at the center. With Skywork Desktop, Skywork is extending that direction onto Windows, aiming to bring continuous, project-based AI workflows closer to where modern knowledge work actually happens.

LALAL.AI, the AI-powered stem separation and voice modification platform, has been recognized by MusicRadar among the best 11 stem separation tools on the market, earning the publication’s highest evaluation for vocal removal quality, along with UVR. The recognition coincides with the release of LALAL.AI’s new VST plugin, allowing vocal isolation and soon multi-stem separation directly inside any DAW that supports VST3, and the rollout of its Andromeda separation algorithm, designed to improve vocal clarity and reduce artifacts in heavily mastered mixes.

MusicRadar conducted its evaluation by processing the same set of three mixed songs through eleven selected tools and comparing the results, focusing on vocal isolation performance, tools’ usability, and feature set.

LALAL.AI Achieves 5/5 Score for Vocal Removal Quality 

Among the tools reviewed, LALAL.AI stands out for its balance between separation accuracy and workflow flexibility. What began as a vocal and instrumental splitter has expanded into a multi-stem separation and voice modification platform capable of extracting drums, bass, piano, guitars, synths, strings, and several vocal layers (lead and backing vocals).

Vocal isolation, powered by the new Andromeda algorithm launched in November 2025, remains consistent even in dense, heavily mastered mixes, earning the 5 out 5 score, as per MusicRadar. Andromeda, in comparison with the previous LALAL.AI algorithm, makes sure that lead vocals retain presence without excessive smearing, while backing vocals are separated cleanly enough to be treated independently. Reverb tails, often a weak point in AI separation, are preserved without the metallic artifacts common in earlier systems.

“The quality of results delivered by LALAL.AI is undeniable. Instrument recognition is excellent, especially when it comes to ‘extended’ instruments like guitars and pianos," MusicRadar writes in their ranking. “Extraction quality is consistently good too, although [it] is better for vocals, drums and bass than it is for the ‘extended’ instruments.”

LALAL.AI’s strength lies not just in audio quality but in the way it’s used as well. The service is available as a web app, desktop software, apps for iOS and Android, an API for automated workflows and audio processing at scale, and now a VST plugin that allows vocal isolation directly inside any DAW that supports a VST3 format. This makes it suitable for producers working on individual tracks as well as teams processing large libraries of audio. The VST plugin is so far available only to the Pro LALAL.AI users.

Timely Recognition Amid Vocal Removal Market Growth 

This MusicRadar ranking comes at a time when stem separation tools, and vocal removers specifically, are increasingly used across music production, post-production, broadcasting, localization, and content creation workflows, where access to original multitrack sessions is often limited. Vocal removers can now be found in DAWs, standalone apps, plugins, and online services as audio production technology is growing more popular and utilized. The main limitation is that stem separation remains a preprocessing step. Like all tools in this category, including those featured by MusicRadar, the results benefit from the quality of the original source, further editing if needed, and cleanup before final delivery.

According to a recent Data Insights Market vocal remover market report, the broader vocal remover market is valued at $390 million in 2025, projecting an 8.2% CAGR through 2033, which likely reflects growth from AI advancements and rising use in podcasting, video editing, and industries beyond music production: songs are remixed across platforms like YouTube and TikTok; even Spotify has launched a feature that allows users to remix tracks right in-app.

To test the LALAL.AI’s vocal removal and stem separation functionality, users should visit the company’s website.

About LALAL.AI

LALAL.AI is an AI-powered audio processing platform that helps users extract vocals, instruments, and other audio components from music and video files. Launched in 2020 in Switzerland, it quickly grew from a 2-stem splitter to the world’s first 10-stem solution. Over the years, LALAL.AI expanded across desktop, mobile, VST, and API, added noise reduction, echo removal, and voice modification features. The service is now used by over six million musicians, producers, audio engineers, content creators, and media professionals around the world. For more information, visit www.lalal.ai.

In a fresh signal of deliberate expansion for his Mileo hotel brand, Yasam Ayavefe announced detailed plans for Mileo Dominica this week on his official website www.yasamayavefe.io. The move extends a hospitality vision that has already drawn global notice through Mileo Mykonos and Mileo Dubai, projects that were featured in a profile of his work and growth plans last November.

What might appear at first glance to be a simple geographic shift actually reflects deeper currents in Ayavefe’s approach to business. Instead of chasing rapid scale or headline grabbing openings, his focus remains on methodical growth rooted in design integrity, thoughtful guest experience and cultural alignment. That philosophy, which has shaped Mileo Mykonos and Mileo Dubai, now finds a new iteration in the Caribbean island of Dominica.

For Ayavefe, the Mileo brand is not just about adding new properties but about curating a network of stays that embody a consistent ethos. Mykonos and Dubai are materially different destinations yet share a calm, guest-centric design language that de-emphasises spectacle in favour of ease and reliability. Both places were selected not just for their global profiles but because they offered environments where intentional service, nuanced hospitality and local context matter most to discerning travellers.

The Dominica announcement, published prominently on the official Yasam Ayavefe website, suggests a continuation of that framework. Mileo Dominica is described less as a traditional expansion and more as the next chapter in a long term commitment to thoughtful tourism. Early communication emphasises respect for the island’s natural richness, integration with local culture and an approach that reframes destination hospitality around environmental awareness and community value rather than sheer room count or rapid build-out.

Ayavefe’s business perspective has always leaned toward careful planning and sustained impact. Guests, staff and communities are treated not as transient metrics but as foundational pillars of what hospitality should be. That mindset, which seems at odds with the louder growth strategies common in the sector, has drawn attention precisely because it blends entrepreneurial discipline with a kind of service ethos that feels rare in contemporary hospitality journalism and analysis.

In interviews and industry discussions, Ayavefe has made clear that his interpretation of luxury lies not in overt flourish but in removing friction for his guests. The belief that a hotel should “start by respecting the hours people give it” illustrates a perspective grounded less in marketing and more in lived experience of what travellers value most. This quiet insistence on meaningful service has been part of Mileo’s identity since its first property and is likely to shape Dominica’s positioning as well.

Mileo Mykonos, known for its intimate scale and thoughtful integration with the island’s relaxed rhythm, and Mileo Dubai, positioned as a calm, well organised retreat amidst the dynamic energy of Palm Jumeirah, together demonstrate how Ayavefe’s decisions weave strategic intent with operational clarity. This stands out in an industry where impulses often prioritise rapid expansion at the expense of guest or staff experience.

In practical terms, the Mileo Dominica project announcement also hints at a measured timeline and phased disclosure of details. Ayavefe’s communication does not rush into specifics but frames the initiative as a conversation with partners, stakeholders and future guests about how the Mileo ethos can align with a new setting that has its own identity and pace. These are the kinds of nuances a seasoned entrepreneur is likely to think through long before shovels hit the ground.

What remains consistent across all Mileo properties is a philosophy that prizes alignment over acceleration. That means prioritising projects that fit the brand’s core principles even when other opportunities might promise faster revenue capture. It is a stance that has drawn both admiration and thoughtful debate among hospitality observers who see in Ayavefe’s work a pushback against short termism in travel and tourism.

As Mileo Dominica moves from announcement toward realisation, the industry will be watching less for spectacle and more for how the project embodies the brand’s hallmark balance of calm, cultural respect and thoughtful service. In that context, this latest chapter may tell us as much about Ayavefe’s broader vision for hospitality as any prior milestone.

For now, the Mileo story remains one of deliberate choice rather than rapid expansion, and for followers of entrepreneurial strategy that has been part of what makes Yasam Ayavefe’s voice in global hospitality distinctive.

About Mileo Hotels

Founded by serial entrepreneur and philanthropist Yasam Ayavefe, Mileo Hotels is a boutique hospitality brand offering refined, design-led experiences in iconic destinations. The portfolio includes Mileo Mykonos, a serene retreat above Kalo Livadi known for its modern luxury, relaxed dining, and intuitive service, and Mileo Dubai, located on West Beach at Palm Jumeirah, Dubai’s first lifestyle Beach Resort House blending coastal energy with urban vibrance.

As of 2025, more than 150,000 students have participated in Cosmo’s personalized learning programs, reflecting strong demand among U.S. families for data-driven and individualized academic support.

Unlike course-level or product-specific certifications, WASC’s school-level accreditation evaluates an institution as a whole. The process assesses curriculum design, faculty qualifications, monitoring of student achievement and organizational governance. Institutions that achieve this status are required to demonstrate sustained educational quality, ongoing self-study and continuous peer review.

For students and families, WASC accreditation serves as a widely understood indicator of institutional credibility within the U.S. education landscape. Accreditation supports confidence that an institution’s learning experiences and academic records meet recognized standards of quality and rigor, factors that are often considered in college admissions and credit evaluation processes.

According to education experts, WASC school-level accreditation requires a comprehensive, multi-year review process that evaluates an institution’s academic standards, instructional outcomes, faculty credentials, and student support infrastructure.

Cosmo’s approval for a six-year accreditation cycle indicates a high level of confidence by the review committee in the company’s institutional stability, governance and long-term quality assurance mechanisms. The outcome is seen by industry observers as a significant validation of AI-driven education models within established U.S. accreditation frameworks.

As artificial intelligence continues to shape the future of education, Cosmo’s achievement places it among a small group of innovative learning institutions that have successfully integrated AI-assisted pedagogy within the framework of U.S. school accreditation standards. The company plans to build on this recognition by expanding academic partnerships, enhancing learning pathways and deepening its engagement with communities seeking high-quality personalized education.

The organizers stated that this ceremony was not only a concentrated display of TCM culture but also a forward-looking exchange practice, showcasing new expressions and possibilities for traditional medicine in the contemporary technological and global health context.

XXKK today announced the successful deployment of a newly implemented modular and decoupled system architecture designed to enhance platform scalability, operational resilience, and performance during periods of elevated market activity. The infrastructure deployment is part of XXKK’s broader focus on responsible platform operations and long-term system reliability. The company noted that further platform enhancements will build upon the modular framework now in place.

The infrastructure upgrade represents a completed phase in XXKK’s platform modernization roadmap and replaces elements of the exchange’s previously more tightly coupled system design. The new architecture is now live across core trading operations and is structured to support higher transaction volumes while reducing systemic risk during localized disruptions.

According to the company, the deployment strengthens the platform’s ability to maintain stability under volatile market conditions by separating core operational components and introducing layered processing for order execution and system workloads.

Modular Architecture and Layered Processing Now Live

The upgraded infrastructure introduces a multi-layer system design that processes trading activity across distinct operational layers. This approach allows trading functions such as order handling, execution logic, and supporting services to operate independently while remaining synchronized through defined interfaces.

By distributing workloads across multiple layers, the platform is able to process user activity more efficiently and reduce performance bottlenecks during peak trading periods.

Component Decoupling Improves Fault Isolation

As part of the deployment, XXKK implemented a decoupled component model that allows critical systems — such as order processing modules — to operate in isolation. This design limits the impact of localized technical issues and helps prevent isolated disruptions from affecting broader platform availability.

The company stated that this structural change improves system reliability and enhances operational continuity across regional and market-specific load variations.

Designed for Stability During Market Volatility

The new architecture is designed to maintain platform availability during periods of sudden trading volume spikes or elevated market volatility. By isolating system components and distributing processing loads, the exchange can absorb unexpected stress without triggering platform-wide interruptions.

These resilience measures are intended to support consistent trading access for users during fast-moving market conditions.

Infrastructure Built for Measured Scalability

XXKK said the deployment establishes a foundation for future capacity expansion by introducing clearly defined operational boundaries and modular system components. This structure allows additional infrastructure capacity to be added incrementally without disrupting existing trading operations.

“Scalable and resilient exchange infrastructure is the result of deliberate, completed design decisions — not abstract principles,” said Emmalyn, a representative of the XXKK crypto exchange. “This deployment reflects a concrete step in strengthening platform stability while preparing the system to support sustained growth.”

Unlisted, a groundbreaking digital real estate community focused on the 98% of homes that are not for sale yet, is spotlighting the people and principles behind The Graham Group of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty. Led by Tracy Graham, the team serves buyers and homeowners across Dallas-area ZIP codes 75071 and 75078, bringing a collaborative, service-driven approach to the Dallas–Fort Worth luxury market.

The Graham Group has built strong momentum through a focus on preparation, presentation, and elevated client experience. In 2025, the team achieved its highest sales volume to date, marking a period of significant growth in a challenging market. Among its most notable accomplishments was the sale of 32 Devonstone Place, a milestone listing that closed in just two months despite broader market headwinds.

That success was driven by a thoughtful, hands-on strategy. The home was professionally staged to highlight its strengths, and the team hosted a neighborhood happy hour to generate organic interest and community engagement. The result was strong visibility, timely buyer activity, and a successful outcome that reflected both market insight and creative execution.

The Graham Group’s work has earned consistent industry recognition, including placement in the Briggs Freeman Leaders Circle, D Magazine Top Agent honors, and recognition as a Real Producers Top Agent. These distinctions reflect not only performance, but a sustained commitment to professionalism, innovation, and client advocacy.

“Our focus has always been on creating an experience that feels seamless and intentional for our clients,” said Tracy Graham. “From how a home is positioned to how buyers are introduced to it, every detail matters. Unlisted gives us another way to extend that philosophy and reach clients in a more thoughtful way.”

That alignment with Unlisted’s mission was a natural fit. The platform uses publicly available data to create a digital property profile for every home in the country, allowing buyers to explore opportunities beyond traditional listings and homeowners to better understand interest over time. By encouraging earlier, more informed conversations, Unlisted supports a more intentional real estate journey.

As the Graham Group continues to scale its presence in the luxury market, its priorities remain clear.

Unlisted, a groundbreaking digital real estate community focused on the 98% of homes that are not for sale yet, is spotlighting the leadership and personal approach behind Daniel Heider of The HEIDER Company at TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, who serves buyers and homeowners across Washington, D.C.

Widely regarded as one of the most influential advisors in the Washington metropolitan luxury market, Heider has delivered one of the most significant performance periods in the Capital Region’s history. Over the past twelve months, The HEIDER Company surpassed $500 million in closed and under-contract volume with a team of just five sales advisors, a level of execution that reflects both precision and scale.

During this period, The HEIDER Company commanded 100 percent market share for all residential transactions at or above $20 million in Washington, D.C., reinforcing its role as the definitive advisor at the very top of the market. Across the broader Capital Region, the practice sold or placed under contract more than ten properties exceeding $10 million within a single year, an extraordinary concentration of activity in a market that typically sees only a handful of such transactions annually.

A defining example of this leadership was the sale of 6501 Bright Mountain Road in McLean, Virginia, the most significant residential transaction in the Mid-Atlantic in four years. The $27.5 million sale marked the highest non-riverfront price ever achieved in McLean and stood as the Capital Region’s top residential sale of 2025. Yet, as notable as any single address may be, it is the broader pattern that defines the practice. Increasingly, the region’s highest-profile residential transactions share one common thread: The HEIDER Company.

Central to this success is HEIDER Private, the firm’s purpose-built platform for discreet, off-market transactions. Over the past year alone, the platform facilitated more than $208 million in private sales, offering clients controlled access, strategic positioning, and outcomes achieved beyond public view. The approach reflects a belief that discretion, timing, and intelligence are often as valuable as exposure.

Beyond transactional results, Heider is recognized as a visionary in modern real estate representation. An early adopter of social media, he has built the world’s most followed residential real estate practice, with more than 4.5 million followers across platforms, including the number one real estate presence on YouTube and TikTok. This reach is leveraged not for visibility alone, but as a proprietary advantage for clients whose assets demand precision, global scale, and disciplined execution.

The HEIDER Company’s performance has been recognized across the industry. Daniel Heider was ranked the number one agent in the DC Metro area from Q1 through Q4 of 2025 by DC Metro Real Producers, while The HEIDER Company was named the number one team by sales volume at TTR Sotheby’s International Realty for the sixth consecutive year. Nationally and globally, the practice ranks as the second-highest performing Sotheby’s team worldwide across all team sizes and the fifth-ranked medium-sized team in the United States. Heider himself has been named a Sotheby’s International Realty Top 100 Agent for four consecutive years and was recognized as the youngest Executive Vice President in TTR Sotheby’s International Realty history.

Despite the scale of results, Heider’s philosophy remains grounded in discipline, preparation, and accountability. Performance is engineered through strategy, data, and control, not improvisation. Each decision is guided by an understanding that at the highest levels of residential real estate, outcomes are the only true measure.

“Daniel brings clarity, confidence, and an extraordinary level of execution to everything he does,” said Katie Hill, founder and CEO of Unlisted. “His forward-thinking approach and commitment to excellence make him a powerful partner within our network and an invaluable resource for buyers and homeowners in Washington, D.C.”

Looking ahead, The HEIDER Company remains focused on elevating an already exacting standard. Built on collaboration across marketing, sales, and operations, the practice continues to shape the market rather than follow it, guided by thoughtful innovation, data-driven strategy, and a disciplined approach to modern luxury representation.

At the core of the work is a simple belief: there is no place like home. Whether a historic estate, a modern city residence, or a private retreat, each property is represented with the gravity it deserves, and each client is guided with confidence through the most complex decisions.

Unlisted, a groundbreaking digital real estate community focused on the 98% of homes that are not for sale yet, is spotlighting the personal approach and market leadership behind Beth Dickerson, one of Boston’s most accomplished luxury real estate advisors with Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty. Dickerson serves buyers and homeowners throughout Boston’s 02116 ZIP code, encompassing the historic Back Bay neighborhood.

With nearly three decades dedicated to Boston’s luxury real estate market, Dickerson has built a career defined by trust, discretion, and long-term client relationships. Her record includes more than $3 billion in career sales, membership in the prestigious Billionaire Club, and representation of more than 3,000 properties across Boston’s most sought-after neighborhoods.

In the past year alone, Dickerson achieved several landmark milestones. She closed the most expensive single-family home ever sold in Beacon Hill at $14.5 million, sold a Back Bay brownstone condominium at nearly $20 million, achieving the highest price per square foot for its category at $4,500, and doubled her annual sales volume from 2024 to 2025 to $160 million. She is consistently ranked among Sotheby’s International Realty’s Top 100 Advisors worldwide and has appeared in the RealTrends Top 250 for many consecutive years, including multiple appearances in the Top 100.

Despite these achievements, Dickerson’s approach remains deeply personal. She is known for a negotiation style grounded in honesty, patience, and clarity. Rather than creating pressure, she prioritizes trust, encouraging clients to take the time they need to feel confident in their decisions.

“I never want a client to feel like this is the only home or the only moment,” said Dickerson. “If there are second thoughts, that’s okay. Patience often leads to better outcomes, and my role is to protect my clients, not rush them.”

Her philosophy aligns closely with Unlisted’s mission to bring more transparency and intention to the real estate experience. The platform uses publicly available data to create a digital profile for every home in the country, allowing buyers to explore opportunities beyond traditional listings and homeowners to better understand interest in their property over time.

Dickerson’s business continues to evolve alongside the market. She remains focused on scaling thoughtfully, staying highly organized, and working with clients who value professionalism, loyalty, and long-term partnership. She has also embraced social media as a key part of her marketing strategy, leveraging Instagram in particular to connect with buyers, showcase properties, and generate meaningful engagement.

“Beth represents the very best of what real estate can be,” said Katie Hill, founder and CEO of Unlisted. “Her integrity, market leadership, and ability to put clients at ease are exactly what our platform is built to support. She brings experience and humanity together in a way that truly stands out.”

As Boston’s luxury market continues to evolve, Dickerson remains a steady presence for clients navigating complex decisions. Her success is rooted not just in record-setting sales, but in the confidence and trust she builds with every relationship.

Hair transplantation is entering a new phase defined by data, precision, and predictability, following the introduction of KE-Bot, a proprietary AI-powered methodology developed by Dr. Koray Erdoğan, founder of ASMED Clinic. The system applies three-dimensional scalp analysis and quantified follicular data to guide surgical planning, marking a shift away from intuition-based decision-making toward a fully measurable medical approach.

KE-Bot is designed to analyze the scalp in three dimensions, objectively measuring variables such as hair shaft thickness, follicular density, growth angles, and donor area capacity. By translating these biological characteristics into data, the methodology allows surgeons to plan graft distribution and donor usage with greater accuracy and consistency, helping deliver natural-looking outcomes that are tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy.

The introduction of KE-Bot reflects a broader transformation underway in hair transplantation, driven by artificial intelligence, robotic analysis, and personalized medicine. As these technologies become more widely adopted, they are expected to reshape expectations around transparency, outcome predictability, and clinical accountability.

Traditionally, hair transplantation planning has relied heavily on visual assessment and practitioner experience. KE-Bot introduces a standardized analytical layer that reduces variability and increases predictability. By quantifying donor limitations and recipient needs before surgery, the system supports more personalized treatment plans while helping protect long-term donor reserves.

By developing and implementing KE-Bot, Dr. Koray Erdoğan positions ASMED Clinic at the forefront of this shift. The methodology underscores Turkey’s role not just as a treatment destination, but as a source of innovation and knowledge influencing international standards in hair restoration — especially as global demand for hair transplantation continues to grow.

AI-assisted scalp analysis represents a fundamental evolution in hair restoration, enabling surgeons to base decisions on measurable parameters rather than estimation alone. This approach aligns hair transplantation more closely with other data-driven medical specialties, where outcomes are planned and evaluated using objective metrics. KE-Bot represents a tangible step in that direction, signaling how advanced analytics and AI-supported planning are becoming central to the future of hair restoration worldwide.

About ASMED Hair Transplant Clinic

ASMED Hair Transplant Clinic is a leading hair restoration center based in Istanbul, Turkey. Founded in 2001 by Dr. Koray Erdoğan, the clinic is internationally recognized for its expertise in advanced hair transplant techniques, particularly the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method. ASMED focuses on personalized treatment plans, natural-looking results, and high medical standards, serving patients from all over the world. For more information, visit www.hairtransplantfue.org.

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) (“Faraday Future”, “FF” or “company”), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced the establishment of FF EAI-Robotics Inc., headquartered in California and officially launched its first batch of Embodied AI (EAI) humanoid and bionic robots —FF Futurist (full-size professional humanoid), FF Master (athletic “action master” humanoid), and FX Aegis (quadruped security/companion). The first batch of deliveries is planned for end of February, with the target to be the first in North America to deliver both humanoid and quadruped robots simultaneously.

The unveiling occurred at the annual National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Show in Las Vegas, NV. In addition to the three robotic entries, the company unveiled the “Three-in-One” FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Strategy, Technology and Product, which includes three core components: EAI Device, EAI Brain & Open-Source and Open Platform, and EAI Decentralized Data Factory. Watch the full video of the event here.

FF not only launched the first three FF embodied intelligence (EAI) robots, but also opened paid non-binding pre-orders and full sales as it strives to achieve initial deliveries in the same month, targeting to become the first U.S. company to deliver both humanoid and quadruped robots and become one of the industry leaders in EAI robotics.

As of today, the total number of FF EAI Robotics units covered by non-binding and non-refundable paid B2B deposits has reached more than 1,200, which marks a terrific start for the company’s robotics goals. These B2C preorders were made by entities receiving compensation for co-creation activities.

EAI Robotics and EAI Vehicles

With this new strategy, FF looks to take the lead in opening a new AI frontier — starting in the U.S. This dual-track growth model, driven by both EAI vehicles and EAI robotics, could define a new growth curve for the company.

This move is a natural extension of the AI DNA that has been embedded in FF since day one. It is also the inevitable evolution of the vehicle-as-robot concept the company proposed ten years ago.

Second, this replicates and upgrades FF’s Auto Industry Bridge model, based on full regulatory compliance and localized deployment of data, software, AI, cloud services, and operating systems, FF could integrate a global EAI supply chain to deliver robots with a high price-performance ratio, filling a critical market void in the United States.

Third, the AI robotics business features lighter investment, faster delivery, and could generate positive operating cash flow more quickly.

Fourth, EAI robotics and EAI vehicles act as twin engines driving FF forward. They work hand-in-hand across R&D, manufacturing, sales, and service. Combined with FF’s Dual-Flywheel, Dual-Bridge, and Dual–Public-Company structure, they could create a strong ecosystem synergy and open a new growth curve for the company.

“Today marks a pivotal and exciting point in FF’s history, one that we’ve been planning for some time now,” said YT Jia, founder and Global co-CEO at FF. “Working alongside humans, we believe EAI robots will help reshape productivity models and drive a new leap forward in productivity through human-machine symbiosis.”

Robots

Three robotic forms were introduced at the NADA event: FF Futurist, FF Master, and FX Aegis. First, FF Futurist, is positioned as a full-size, professional EAI humanoid robot — an all-around expert for professional roles. It is targeted to become the first humanoid robot in the United States to achieve mass production and delivery.

Second, FF Master, positioned as an athletic EAI humanoid robot. It is an all-intelligence action master that truly understands you. We believe that it will be one of the most cost-effective humanoid robot products in the U.S. market.

Third, FX Aegis, positioned as a professional quadruped EAI robot for security and companionship. It is a loyal, practical guardian, and will be one of the earliest robot friends to enter your daily life and work environments.

1. FF Futurist 

This is a full-size, professional EAI humanoid robot — your all-around expert for professional roles. He was built for the real world to take on serious jobs and work alongside people. Powered by the NVIDIA Orin platform, he can deliver up to 200 TOPS of computing power, with support for continuous upgrades and expansion. That means he doesn’t just understand complex environments — he can grow with every new task, every new industry, and every new challenge.

He sees the world in detail with industry-leading perception. He has a perception system that combines multiple high-resolution cameras, fisheye camera, RGB-D camera, 3D LiDAR, and tactile sensors. With Wi-Fi and 5G, he can support remote control, VR teleoperation, and collaborative work.

FF Futurist will have 28 high-performance motors, peak torque of up to 500 newton-meters, a power density of 125 newton-meters per kilogram, three-hour operating time and hot-swappable battery design. He can support natural interaction in up to 50 languages and features a fully customizable, interactive facial display. Combined with tailored software solutions, he can deliver a thousand faces for a thousand robots, adapt to different people, different roles, and different moments. 

Regarding usage scenarios, he can be seen in many roles including in hotels, showrooms, and museums — basically a multilingual super concierge. In retail, dealerships, and real estate, he is a most professional super sales advisor. On stage, at launch events, and at shows, he is a composed and versatile super host. In schools, institutions, and labs, he is a forward-looking research and teaching assistant. In theme parks and pop-ups, he can be the most intelligent brand ambassador. In the next phase, he can be entering homes and factories as a friendly household assistant and a productive industrial partner, providing people more time for creativity and innovation. 

2. FF Master

This is an athletic EAI humanoid robot — your all-intelligence action master who truly understands you. He can be more than just an AI companion but instead a real companion who helps in everyday life. At home, he can study with your kids, chat with your parents, and help you unwind. When you are away, he helps you check in on your home through remote video and sensors after the upgrade to make sure everything is okay. He can adapt and learn new skills. He has 30 degrees of freedom in his body, not counting his hands.

Regarding usage scenarios, he can be a "chief interaction officer" at events. In classrooms and labs, he can be a hands-on assistant for research and training. He can constantly evolve, maybe become your personal trainer, or your outdoor companion — stepping beyond the living room, exploring further, and discovering more possibilities of life. 

3. FX Aegis

This is a professional, embodied AI quadruped robot designed for security and companionship. Aegis is naturally adaptable to complex environments. Its peak joint torque can reach 48 Newton-meters, easily overcome obstacles of about 13 inches and climbing stably on slopes of 40 degrees. Aegis supports Wi-Fi and 5G communication and can also expand to remote operation capabilities, allowing it to work continuously outdoors, in industrial sites, and even in areas far from network coverage.

Aegis is highly adaptable both structurally and functionally. It comes standard with a quadrupedal structure, while also supporting an optional four-wheeled version; it can flexibly expand with Lidar, depth cameras, communication modules, and even robotic arms, fire extinguishers, and professional security plugins according to task needs — allowing it to seamlessly adapt to different scenarios. 

On the software level, it can connect with home, campus, and industrial security systems, achieving continuous patrol, status feedback, and intelligent linkage. Aegis also comes with mature autonomous patrol and follow-me capabilities. It can perform stably without frequent human-machine interaction. Outdoors and on the road, it can follow alongside, providing lightweight assistance and safety assurance. 

Regarding usage scenarios, it’s a reliable traveling partner on the road. In factories and law enforcement — it functions as a professional security pioneer. In emergency rescue and high-risk environments, it is always the first to enter the scene. And in asset inventory and small item delivery tasks, it is also a punctual, silent mobile messenger.

Robotics Pricing, Sales, and Service

Today, FF also announced the pricing for its three embodied AI robots. It is as follows: The FF Futurist series, starting from $34,990; the FF Master series, starts from $19,990; the FX Aegis series, starting from $2,499. 

The ecosystem skills package for FF Futurist is priced at $5,000; for FF Master, the ecosystem skills package is priced at $3,000; for FX Aegis, the ecosystem skills package is priced at $1,000. This is applicable only to products equipped with secondary development capabilities. FF also contemplates offering financing, leasing, and rental options so customers can choose the model that works best for them. And as a reminder, future users can place their orders directly at www.ff.com. 

On the service side, FF will provide after-sales support, along with OTA updates and remote technical services.

“Today, the issues and pain points that limited robotics advancement in the past have turned into massive industry opportunities,” said tech creator Jon Rettinger. “Breakthroughs in large language models, AI computing power, battery technology, and world models have changed the equation. There’s no doubt that the embodied AI robotics industry is reaching a critical moment — a tipping point where technological breakthroughs are giving way to large-scale commercialization.”

FF’s Robotics Brand Vision

Through FF EAI-Robotics Inc. and the brand slogan “Solving real-world problems with EAI, and building a civilization of human-machine symbiotic productivity,” FF positions embodied AI robots, together with vehicles, to drive the next stage of productivity and civilization evolution.

“6-3-3” Industry Applications and Practical Value

Built on six leading tech/product advantages, FF introduced the “6-3-3 Industry Applications and Practical Value” framework: six commercial and public-service scenarios, three family service scenarios, and three industrial scenarios — covering needs across enterprises, public institutions, households, and tech-enthusiast individuals.

Four Trends

FF outlined four key trends for the robotics industry: general and autonomy; profession and expertise; data as an asset; and protocol-based ecosystem. These define the path from single-purpose machines to a scalable human-machine symbiotic ecosystem.

FF Par — FF’s Co-Creation User Ecosystem Partner Program

FF Par introduces two major upgrades to the traditional dealership model. First, a business model upgrade. Instead of relying solely on one-time vehicle sales, FF Par enables a sustainable revenue model built on vehicle sales, user operations, and intelligent terminal ecosystem operations. Partners can share in the long-term value across the product lifecycle — without bearing traditional risks such as high inventory pressure, high operating costs, or pricing instability.

Second, a capital model upgrade. Partners are brought into FF’s co-creation ecosystem — meaning dealers don’t just sell products, they become stakeholders, directly participating in and sharing the long-term capital value. The upgraded dealer and partner platform redefines the traditional dealership model with a user-operations–driven partner platform that upgrades both business (vehicle sales, user operations, and intelligent terminal ecosystem) and capital models (partners becoming FF-level value sharers), positioning future dealers as “intelligent terminal operators” selling both vehicles and robots.

FF firmly believes that FF’s user co-creation ecosystem will inject new vitality into automotive dealerships across the United States — offering an innovative solution built on user operations and intelligent terminal ecosystems. FF also believes that the future sales channels for robotics will highly overlap with automotive channels. Tomorrow’s car dealers can evolve into “intelligent terminal operators” — selling both vehicles and robotics products.

Looking over the long-term, FF believes that global robot ownership could reach tens of billions of units over time, potentially far exceeding the scale of today’s global automobile fleet.

Today, Sanctuary Innovations, LLC announced the official launch of Havven across the United States and Canada. The new social platform offers a high-integrity digital ecosystem designed to serve as a sanctuary for the alternative lifestyle and LGBTQ+ communities. Built on a foundation of “Safety by Design,” Havven arrives as a direct response to the systemic censorship, shadowbanning, and data exploitation rampant on mainstream platforms.

For over a decade, the Alternative Adult and LGTBQ communities have been forced to jump between multiple social apps, only to face systemic erasure, fragmented community silos, and unprotected digital assets. Havven unites all of the best parts of these technologies to create one space where anyone has the power to be whoever they want — whenever they want.

“Mainstream social media treats the alternative community as a liability to be managed or a glitch to be erased,” said Derek Hanjora, CEO of Sanctuary Innovations. “At Havven, we believe that what makes you a glitch to them makes you the main event to us. We didn’t just build another app; we built a sanctuary where identity is celebrated, assets are protected, and the community finally has a home that won’t turn its back on them.”

A New Standard in Digital Integrity

Havven introduces a revolutionary set of features designed to return control to the user:

• The Collapsed Stack: A unified experience merging high-fidelity social feeds, the Havven Marketplace, and verified community connections.
• Algorithmic Sovereignty: Through Mandatory Tagging, users train a proprietary algorithm to understand their specific interests. Combined with the Creator Content Toggle, users can customize their feed to be as social or creator-focused as they desire.
• The Two-Tier Precision Toggle: To ensure a safe environment for all, Havven utilizes a unique sensitivity system. Users can precisely navigate the sanctuary using independent levels of Adult content toggles, ensuring they see only the content they explicitly opt into.
• Safety by Design: With frictionless AI-driven verification and a zero-tolerance policy for doxxing, deadnaming, and harassment, Havven is the first platform to offer a truly high-trust environment for alternative adults.

Traction and Momentum

Launching with a pre-registered waitlist of over 35,000 members across North America, Havven has already demonstrated a massive market hunger for a high-integrity alternative to legacy social media. The platform’s unique economic model, including an industry-leading 83/17 revenue split for creators and a flat-fee transaction engine, positions it as a sustainable ecosystem for the modern creator economy.

“We are moving past the era of digital homelessness,” added Hanjora. “Havven is proof that you can build a scalable platform that respects the laws of the land and the requirements of payment processors without sacrificing the soul of the community.”

The Sanctuary is now open to users in the U.S. and Canada. Users can claim their handle and join the movement at www.havven.me.

About Havven

Currently a member of the prestigious Mannx/Moonshotnx accelerator, Havven is redefining digital commerce through its unified marketplace and creator-first 83/17 revenue model. Our mission is to move beyond the transactional nature of legacy paywalls to build a global sanctuary where identity is celebrated, and safety is the standard.

freebeat.ai, the Stanford-founded company that pioneered the AI music video agent category, today confirmed its dominance as the leading AI music video generator. By defining a new medium where music itself acts as the director, freebeat.ai has moved the industry beyond the limitations of text prompts and simple beat-syncing.

For decades, "music visualization" meant one thing: simple audio-reactivity — jagged lines and geometric shapes bouncing predictably to frequency spikes. This is not intelligence; it is a reflex.

freebeat.ai has retired this approach. The company built the first AI music video agent — a system that transforms music to video using audio alone as creative input.

The proprietary technology, built on a dedicated music-vision foundation model developed since 2021, does not react to the beat. It interprets the song. The AI listens to the emotional arc — the tension, the release, the mood — directing a coherent visual story rather than a synchronized light show. This is the difference between an AI music visualizer that responds to sound and an agent that directs meaning. Watch the freebeat.ai music video agent in action.

The Music-First Standard

"Music is a dream trapped in the beat. We give it a vision and make the story complete," said Bruce Chen, co-founder and CEO. "A video in silence is just a sequence of images, incomplete. We give it a flow, a soul, a true heartbeat. The era of the simple visualizer is over. We have built an agent that understands the artist's intent."

While generic video models rely on static text prompts, freebeat.ai treats music as continuous creative direction. This audio-to-video engine has driven rapid global adoption, with the platform now scaling toward 1 billion seconds of generated content.

From Tool to Taste Intelligence

"When video generation becomes commoditized, the value shifts to knowing what to generate. That is taste intelligence, and that is the category we own," said Henry Fan, co-founder and COO. "Spotify built a $100 billion ecosystem letting people hear their identity. We are answering the inevitable next question: What happens when they can see it too?"

The next chapter of real-time music-first generation arrives early 2026.

Godent is an end-to-end digital dental laboratory service provider delivering fully integrated workflows from scanning to production and delivery. The company combines its software and communication infrastructure developed specifically for clinic–lab operations with a cost-effective centralized manufacturing hub in Türkiye and an international logistics setup that enables competitive turnaround times for European markets.

Building on this infrastructure, Godent has now officially started offering its zero-investment digital transformation model to Dental Service Organizations (DSOs) across Europe that have not yet fully transitioned to digital workflows. Under this model, intraoral scanners and the required software infrastructure are provided to DSOs free of charge, and Godent assumes full responsibility for managing their transition to digital dental laboratory operations as an end-to-end digital dental lab solution partner.

Godent Announces Strategic Partnership with First European DSO

Godent has completed its first strategic DSO agreement in Europe, marking the operational launch of its zero-investment digital dental laboratory model in the region. Under this agreement, Godent has begun deploying its scanner-as-a-service approach, installing intraoral scanners at clinic locations and integrating clinical teams into its software, communication, and operational workflows.

Scaling to 10-Plus DSO Groups and Expansion to Private Clinics by 2026

Godent aims to expand its network to more than 10 DSO groups across Europe by the end of 2026. In parallel, the company plans to start onboarding private dental clinics before the end of 2026, extending the same zero-investment digital dental laboratory model to independent practices as its European operations continue to scale.
