Domus Next Launches SuperNori, a Proactive Family AI Agent to Ease Household Friction and Strengthen Family Connections

Domus Next Inc., a San Francisco-based startup focused on family AI infrastructure for modern households, has officially launched SuperNori, a new family AI Agent designed to proactively help families coordinate schedules, responsibilities, shopping, and connected devices through artificial intelligence.

While much of today's AI industry remains focused on workplace productivity, coding tools, and business automation, Domus Next believes one of AI's most meaningful long-term opportunities may be much closer to home.

According to the company, family life is increasingly shaped by countless small decisions and responsibilities that rarely appear on formal schedules but consume time and mental energy every day. SuperNori was developed to help reduce that burden and support smoother, healthier family dynamics.

The Invisible Work Behind Everyday Family Life 

Most households are held together by far more than the tasks that appear on a calendar. Behind everyday family life is a constant stream of invisible work: remembering doctors' appointments, keeping track of groceries, planning meals, coordinating school activities, and making sure countless small responsibilities don't fall through the cracks. 

Researchers often describe this as "invisible labor" — the mental effort required to anticipate needs and keep a household running smoothly. That responsibility often falls disproportionately on one family member, creating stress and mental overload that can quietly build over time.

“Family life isn't simply a collection of tasks that need to be managed,” said Isaac Long, co-founder of Nori. “At its core, it's about relationships, communication, and shared experiences. Behind every household are hundreds of small responsibilities that often go unnoticed. We believe that SuperNori can act like a senior family butler, quietly and proactively assisting families in managing their lives behind the scenes, allowing them to spend more quality time together.”

When Small Frustrations Become Family Tension

Many household disagreements do not begin with major conflicts. More often, they grow out of small everyday moments — realizing no one bought the milk, forgetting to schedule an appointment, or assuming someone else had already taken care of an important errand. 

Some early beta test users say one of SuperNori's most valuable benefits is reducing the misunderstandings that arise when responsibilities are unclear. One family reported that grocery shopping had become a recurring point of tension because different family members assumed someone else had already updated the shopping list or purchased needed items. After adopting shared shopping lists and AI-generated reminders through SuperNori, responsibilities became easier to track, helping family members stay aligned and reducing the need for constant check-ins.

SuperNori is built around the idea that reducing everyday friction can have a meaningful impact on family relationships. By making responsibilities more visible and easier to coordinate, the platform aims to help families spend less time sorting out logistics and more time focusing on one another.

Beyond Household Management: Bringing Families Closer Together

While reducing invisible labor is one part of the equation, Domus Next believes family AI may also help address another growing challenge within modern households: communication across generations.

Many older adults still find smartphones, shared calendars, and household management apps difficult to navigate. As a result, they can sometimes become disconnected from family planning and coordination systems that increasingly rely on digital tools. By using natural-language interaction, SuperNori allows users to communicate with the system conversationally rather than through complex menus or app workflows.

This creates opportunities for older family members to participate more easily in shared household activities, receive reminders, access information, and stay connected to family plans without needing advanced technical knowledge. For multi-generational households, the ability to simply speak naturally to a system may help reduce digital barriers that often leave some family members excluded from day-to-day coordination.

Under the hood, SuperNori brings together household tasks, schedules, reminders, and connected devices through a unified coordination layer, supported by integrations with the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) permission framework and the Home Assistant ecosystem. Over time, it is designed to learn a family’s routines, preferences, and boundaries, so it can offer more proactive support in everyday home life.

Rethinking AI's Role in Family Life

Nori is already used by more than 200,000 families, with users interacting with its AI features an average of 9.4 times per day. Families use Nori to ask questions, leave voice notes, create reminders, update shopping lists, and keep household members in sync. On average, each family creates 23.2 shared tasks and 14 shopping lists.

These usage patterns suggest that AI is beginning to move beyond individual productivity and into the everyday coordination of family life. For many households, the value is not only in capturing tasks or managing lists, but in helping family members communicate, plan, and share responsibility more effectively.

SuperNori represents the next stage of that evolution. While Nori helps families capture the needs they already recognize, SuperNori is designed to help notice the needs that have not yet been written down or discussed, but are already creating pressure in the background of everyday life.

In that sense, SuperNori extends Nori from reactive support to proactive family AI, reflecting a broader shift in how family AI may support families: not only by responding to explicit requests, but by helping households recognize and address needs before they become sources of stress.

About Domus Next

Domus Next Inc. is a San Francisco-based technology company focused on building AI infrastructure for family life. Founded in 2025 by former ByteDance and Samsung veterans, the company develops family AI infrastructure that uses artificial intelligence to coordinate household operations, connected devices, and shared family experiences.

What Worlds We See Through World Labs: FoundersX Ventures Backs Physical AI Pioneer

FoundersX Ventures today announced its investment in World Labs, a breakthrough company building foundational physical AI models that deliver true spatial intelligence — the missing link between today’s digital AI and the physical world.

Led by Dr. Fei-Fei Li — the visionary “Godmother of AI” and author of the acclaimed book The Worlds I See — World Labs is redefining what’s possible when AI truly understands and simulates reality. Co-founded with leading experts Justin Johnson, Christoph Lassner, and Ben Mildenhall, the company is creating world models that go far beyond current offerings from Big Tech.

“We backed World Labs because they are solving one of the hardest and most consequential problems in AI: building persistent, physically coherent 3D world models that can reason about space, objects, and causality,” said Helen Liang, PhD, founder and managing partner of FoundersX Ventures. “While Google’s Genie 3 excels at generating interactive video environments and Nvidia’s platforms are powerful for robotics simulation, World Labs’ Marble stands apart with its ability to create high-fidelity, editable, and temporally consistent 3D worlds from minimal inputs. This is the kind of foundational spatial intelligence needed to bridge digital and physical realities at scale.” 

In the rapidly evolving physical AI space, several players are advancing world models and simulation.

SureFlow Receives 2026 Global Recognition Award for AI-Driven Utility Monitoring and Loss Prevention

SureFlow wins a 2026 Global Recognition Award for advancing artificial intelligence in resource monitoring, marking a clear milestone in the evolution of predictive utility management. The recognition highlights the company’s ability to transform raw consumption data into practical insights that improve efficiency across residential buildings and cities.

The award acknowledges SureFlow’s measurable contributions to innovation and research, particularly through a platform that monitors water, gas, and electricity usage in real time and identifies irregularities before they lead to financial losses or property damage. Developed with a focus on prevention, the system reflects a broader shift in how resource intelligence is designed and applied globally in 2026, as organizations increasingly prioritize sustainability and operational precision.

Platform Built On Prevention, Not Reaction

Founded in the United Kingdom, SureFlow emerged from a practical observation: most resource inefficiencies remain unnoticed until damage has already occurred. Under the leadership of CEO Sebastien Dui, the company adopted a preventative approach to technology design, focusing on early detection and proactive management rather than reactive response. This approach has shaped a platform that enables users to identify inefficiencies in real time and respond with informed decisions.

The company has since expanded its operations across Europe and the United Arab Emirates, where its engineering and artificial intelligence teams operate in an integrated environment. Its systems now support households, commercial properties, and cities. “The future of resource management is not in waiting for problems to reveal themselves but in designing systems that anticipate, prevent, and protect. At SureFlow, we build technology that gives people clarity and control long before damage or waste occurs,” said Dui.

Innovation and Research Driving Measurable Impact

SureFlow’s selection followed evaluation through the Rasch measurement model, a methodology that converts performance indicators into a standardized linear scale. The company achieved high scores across key areas, including application potential, global relevance, market influence, and intellectual property strength. These results reflect consistent technical execution rather than aspirational claims, positioning the platform as a credible solution in a competitive and rapidly evolving sector.

Two core capabilities characterize the platform in 2026, as global demand for intelligent infrastructure continues to grow. The Budget Prediction feature provides forward-looking estimates based on actual usage patterns. Meanwhile, the AI Advisor delivers tailored recommendations aligned with individual consumption behavior. Together, these tools shift user engagement from passive monitoring to active management, aligning with industry forecasts that predict AI-driven utility optimization will grow as sustainability regulations tighten worldwide.

Final Words

“SureFlow has earned this recognition because it has successfully translated advanced innovation into practical solutions that protect resources and reduce inefficiencies at scale,” said Alex Sterling of Global Recognition Awards, highlighting the broader implications of the company’s work in addressing global sustainability challenges.

SureFlow continues to focus on reducing hidden losses, lowering costs, and supporting sustainable infrastructure development. Its platform shows how artificial intelligence can move beyond basic reporting functions to become a consistent element of resource planning. “SureFlow represents a shift from reactive systems to proactive resilience, enabling better protection of assets while supporting long-term environmental goals,” said Sterling, reflecting the company’s direction as it expands its global footprint.

Rioja Holistic Home Launches Sustainable Luxury Collection Inspired by Spain's Rioja Wine Country

Ana Fabiano, internationally recognized Rioja authority, business leader and author, today announced the launch of Rioja Holistic Home, a sustainable lifestyle and home brand inspired by the renowned Rioja region of Spain.

The new collection brings together artisan-crafted textiles, ceramics, and botanical body oils sourced from the same region celebrated worldwide for its exceptional wines. Designed for conscious consumers, boutique hospitality properties, wellness spaces, and luxury homes, Rioja Holistic Home combines heritage and craftsmanship with modern sustainable living.

The launch comes amid growing consumer demand for sustainable and transparent products. According to PwC's 2024 Voice of the Consumer Survey, consumers are willing to pay an average of 9.7% more for sustainably produced goods, reflecting a broader shift toward quality, provenance, and environmental responsibility in purchasing decisions. 

The launch introduces three signature collections:

  • Textiles: Crafted from 100% extra-fine Merino wool, OEKO-TEX® certified and designed as heirloom-quality pieces.
  • Ceramics: Limited-edition, numbered creations produced by a fourth-generation master ceramicist whose work is featured in Michelin-starred restaurants across Northern Spain.
  • Essence: Botanical body oils made from 100% botanical ingredients and essential oils and recognized by leading wellness professionals and early customers for their clean scent, rapid absorption, and absence of synthetic fragrances.

The company operates as a fully sustainable, plastic-free brand built around six guiding principles: authenticity, quality, beauty, health, heritage, and environmental stewardship.

Ana Fabiano's connection to Rioja spans decades of professional work and independent research. Since 2008, she has conducted extensive study of the region's wine, culture, architecture, gastronomy, hospitality, and artisan traditions, culminating in the creation of Rioja Holistic Home.

"After years of travel, research, and work throughout Rioja, creating Rioja Holistic Home was a natural evolution," said Fabiano, founder of Rioja Holistic Home. "The values that define Rioja, heritage, quality, sustainability, and pride of place, extend far beyond wine. We emerge at a time when our values and gorgeous pure selections are very relevant for both health and environmental reasons. We created this brand to encourage people to make more intentional choices about what they bring into their homes and lives." 

The brand's mission, reflected in its tagline "Raising Consciousness," encourages consumers to better understand where products come from, how they are made, and the impact they have on personal well-being and the environment.

FEATOL Rolls Out Reinforced Lower Back Brace to Help Adults During Work, Driving, and in Chronic Pain

With more adults engaged in manual labor, long-distance driving, and chronic back pain, FEATOL's supportive lower back brace has been unveiled. Rather than a temporary recovery tool, this latest back brace aligns with the latest medical research on staying active to support proper health.

The difference between this back brace for women and men with lower back pain is that it doesn’t restrict movement. Adults can still move throughout their workday or get in and out of a vehicle when completing daily errands. Considering how many people are actively trying to manage conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, muscle strain, and chronic lower back fatigue, practical support that includes mobility is a major win.

“We wanted to promote better health by targeting the needs of workers, active adults, and rehabilitation professionals,” says a FEATOL spokesperson. “Our FEATOL lower back brace is a solution to alleviate pain while supporting movement instead of restricting it.”

Why Lower Back Pain Impacts So Many Adults

While the conveniences of modern living certainly would make heads spin from a couple of hundred years ago, those same conveniences can put pressure on the lumbar region. The average office worker spends 6 to 8 hours sitting at a desk. The average worker will have to lift between 23 and 70 pounds, depending on the job. Both these scenarios compress the lower back, leading to repetitive lifting, twisting, and carrying movements that stress the back’s structure.

Active adults also have issues. Being able to calmly improve a home garden without pain or move about a backyard chicken coop is important, even with a sore lower back. Roughly 39% of adults report back pain that requires the aid of a lower back brace. The problem is that most traditional lumbar support belts and work back braces are restrictive, bulky, or uncomfortable to wear for extended periods.

With FEATOL, the goal is to offer a lower back brace that balances stability to reduce pain with increased comfort, while also ensuring the wearer can go about their day.

Support That Moves with the User

The FEATOL lumbar support belt brace was designed with a reinforced system comprising three memory aluminum stays and two additional support plates. When working together, these elements ensure 360-degree stabilization around the lower back. Pressure is then distributed evenly, supporting the lumbar region as adults drive, work, and play.

In addition to that unique design, the FEATOL lower back brace is made from soft, breathable materials. It is snug as a bug, with adjustable straps, to ensure the back brace for lifting hugs the lower back like a second skin, comfortable, stable, and easy to wear all day long.

With FEATOL, the back brace provides targeted compression to support the body at home, work, or when moving about completing daily tasks. It is ideal for men and women, with an elastic support system that keeps the lumbar support in place on even the most demanding days. That makes the back brace optimal for:

  • Office workers dealing with long sitting sessions and those using hybrid sit/stand desks for mobility.
  • Manual laborers and tradespeople performing repetitive movements and lifting that strain back muscles.
  • Drivers, ride-share professionals, delivery teams, and movers who spend long hours behind the wheel and on the road.
  • Adults recovering from back strain, injury, or recent medical treatment and surgery (under the guidance of medical professionals).
  • Fitness enthusiasts who want a little extra lower back support while climbing, playing sports, or getting outdoors.

All men and women who want to better manage chronic lower back discomfort can benefit from added support. As the brace uses both stability and flexible strapping, it functions as both a back brace for men's lower back support needs and a back brace for women desiring extra comfort.

FEATOL Builds for Real-World Demands

FEATOL was founded on a simple belief that protection should never come at the cost of comfort or style. That is why the lower back brace is designed not to restrict ordinary activities. Wearers should feel the support while standing in line at a store or carrying the family’s laundry upstairs.

The reinforced structure and elastic support system ensure comfortable, secure movement. There is no need to constantly readjust the brace during the day, making it a simplified yet adjustable solution whether working as a mechanic, physician, teacher, delivery driver, or at-home graphic designer.

Back pain is one of the most common reasons for primary and emergency care consultations. Around $200 billion is spent every year on managing that back pain. With FEATOL, adults get a solution that helps alleviate that pain through a simplified, reliable structure without the traditional brace restrictions.

A Practical Back Brace for Long-Term Mobility

Healthcare professionals emphasize the importance of self-care to manage lower back pain and discomfort. It is a combination of movement, proper mechanics, and recovery that helps reduce stress on the body. With FEATOL's lower back brace, the support ensures proper mobility throughout the day and a snug fit that doesn’t get in the way of life.

Available now in sizes ranging from small (25.6-28.5”) to 5XL (57.5-65”), the lower back brace for work helps those dealing with recurring lumbar fatigue, workplace strain, or physically demanding lifestyles. The right support system from FEATOL helps make the day a little easier to manage while still promoting long-term comfort.

About FEATOL

At FEATOL (HONG KONG DUNHE TECHNOLOGY CO., LIMITED), we believe comfort and strength belong in everyday life. That’s why we design orthopedic supports that fit naturally into your routine at work, at home, or on the go. Whether you’re facing desk fatigue, heavy lifting, or long-term discomfort, FEATOL is here to help ease pain and support better movement every single day. FEATOL products are developed by pain-care experts and trusted by families worldwide. From back braces to therapy mats, each item blends smart technology with day-to-day comfort.

Sends Expands Multi-Wallet Payment Ecosystem with Samsung Pay Integration Under Leadership of Alona Shevtsova

Sends has announced the expansion of its digital wallet ecosystem by integrating with Samsung Pay to work toward a more adaptable payments system for consumers and businesses globally. The main goal of the company is to provide a mobile-first checkout experience to users across various devices and also expand its current support for key wallet providers like Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Digital payments are increasingly moving toward faster, device-led interactions, where users expect transactions to be completed with minimal friction. Across global markets, biometric authentication and token-based security have become standard expectations, gradually replacing manual card entry in everyday purchases.

With Samsung Pay now added to the ecosystem, Sends is aiming to widen access for Samsung device users while also improving payment success rates and checkout efficiency for merchants operating across multiple regions.

“Payments today are less about individual methods and more about how everything works together in the background,” said Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends. “Our goal is to make that experience feel simple for merchants, regardless of how many payment options are involved.”

Moving Toward a More Unified Payments Layer

Sends is gradually shaping its infrastructure around a more unified model designed to reduce the fragmentation that often exists between different wallet systems.

Instead of requiring separate technical setups for each provider, the platform is moving toward a structure where multiple wallet networks can be accessed through a single integration layer. This approach is intended to simplify operations for merchants while keeping checkout performance consistent across markets and devices.

Important priorities in this direction include:

  • Greater compatibility with top mobile wallet ecosystems
  • Integration made easier with a single infrastructure layer
  • Improved regional consistency in checkout performance
  • Decreased complexity of operations for retailers
  • Increased dependability in international payment flows

Strategic Direction and Leadership Focus

Under Alona Shevtsova's direction, Sends continues to align itself with the trend toward wallet-driven commerce and embedded financial infrastructure, which is reflected in the expansion.

Sends has shifted its focus from single feature releases to enhancing the interoperability and orchestration-based infrastructure models of various payment systems.

Market Background and Infrastructure Development

As mobile-first payment options gradually replace traditional card-based checkout experiences in many areas, the upgrade coincides with the ongoing global expansion in the popularity of digital wallets.

Sends’ infrastructure strategy also builds on its integration with Corefy, which helps merchants streamline routing and settlement through a unified connection layer.

The company expects demand for connected payment infrastructure to continue rising as businesses expand into increasingly fragmented global payment environments.

About Sends

Sends is a global payments and financial infrastructure platform offering multi-currency accounts, digital wallet support, and cross-border payment solutions for businesses and individuals. The company concentrates on developing scalable infrastructure that uses contemporary financial instruments and unified integration to streamline international transactions.

XTEND Surpasses $12 Million in Cumulative Defense Orders in 24 Hours Across Two Separate Customer Programs

On June 25, JFB Construction Holdings (NASDAQ: JFB) announced that XTEND AI Robotics has secured a $3 million follow-on defense order, arriving just one day after the company's previously announced $9 million procurement for autonomous multi-drone operations serving a Middle East defense customer. Together, the two announcements bring XTEND's cumulative disclosed defense procurement to more than $12 million across two distinct customer programs — a milestone reached within 24 hours.

The $3 million order is a follow-on from an existing defense customer, expanding operational capabilities within one of the Company's largest autonomous system deployments to date. Unlike the $9 million Middle East program, which funds expansion of a separate fleet, this order reflects what XTEND describes as the natural evolution of its ecosystem model: customers who have already received initial platform deliveries continue to adopt additional capabilities that enhance mission effectiveness — generating revenue that extends well beyond the initial sale.

Key Points:

  • Over $12 million in cumulative announced defense procurement within a single 24-hour window
  • Two distinct customer programs across two separate defense orders
  • $9 million order announced June 23, 2026 — Middle East autonomous multi-drone operations
  • $3 million follow-on order announced June 25, 2026 — separate large-scale autonomous systems program
  • Combined company to trade as XTEND AI Robotics (expected ticker: XTND) upon closing of JFB merger

CEO Commentary: Ecosystem-Driven Growth Strategy

Aviv Shapira, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of XTEND, commented:

"More than $12 million in defense orders announced across two separate customer programs in a single day reflects exactly how we have built this business. This follow-on order specifically reinforces an important aspect of our long-term growth strategy. As customers move from initial deployment to sustained operational use, they continue to adopt additional capabilities that enhance mission effectiveness and expand the value of their existing fleets. We believe this dynamic strengthens customer relationships, creates recurring growth opportunities, and reinforces the strategic value of the XTEND ecosystem."

The XOS Operating System: Software That Scales With the Mission

Both programs are built on XOS, XTEND's proprietary operating system for autonomous robotics. XOS serves as the software backbone enabling operators to deploy, supervise, and manage autonomous robotic systems across complex missions — air, ground, and maritime — while maintaining human oversight. Its software-first architecture supports a growing ecosystem of platforms, applications, and mission capabilities designed to evolve alongside customer requirements, creating the flywheel of follow-on procurement activity now visible in this announcement.

The JFB / XTEND Business Combination

As announced on February 17, 2026, JFB Construction Holdings (Nasdaq: JFB) and XTEND entered into a definitive agreement to combine in an all-stock transaction. The business combination is supported by strategic investments from Eric Trump, Unusual Machines (NYSE: UMAC), American Ventures, LLC, Protego Ventures, and Aliya Capital. Following closing, the combined company is expected to be renamed XTEND AI Robotics and list on a U.S. national securities exchange under the ticker symbol "XTND."

Autonomous Defense Sector Market Context

Investors researching the JFB / XTEND business combination may evaluate operational milestones across the broader autonomous and unmanned systems sector, including:

  • AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV): A leading U.S. developer of tactical unmanned aircraft systems and loitering munitions serving defense customers globally.
  • Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (NASDAQ: KTOS): A defense technology company specializing in unmanned aerial systems, satellite communications, and high-performance rocket systems for the U.S. military and allied governments.
  • Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE: UMAC): A vertically integrated NDAA-compliant manufacturer of drone components and systems, and a strategic investor in the JFB / XTEND business combination.
  • Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS): An autonomous drone and technology company operating through American Robotics and Ondas Networks, with a pro forma backlog of $457 million as of early 2026.
  • Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCAT): A defense-focused drone solutions provider offering small unmanned aircraft systems for ISR and tactical missions, including the Teal 2 platform certified for DoD operations.

About XTEND

NAVI Performance Coach Urszula Klimczak and GG.BET Launch 'Tilt Management' Mental Health Initiative

NAVI Performance Coach Urszula Klimczak and NAVI’s title sponsor GG.BET have unveiled "Tilt Management," a special project dedicated to mental health. The initiative consists of three in-depth articles covering demotivation, burnout, and dealing with hate — some of the most common mental health challenges faced not only by esports players, but also by their fans. The project places a strong emphasis on practical value, featuring real-life esports cases, proven advice and everyday practices, as well as self-support exercises readers can apply on their own.

Mental health is becoming increasingly relevant year after year, regardless of profession or lifestyle. Many of the challenges professional players experience are familiar to millions of people in their everyday lives. These include loss of purpose, poor work-life balance, conflicts within teams, vulnerability to criticism, and more. While esports professionals can rely on performance coaches and team staff for support, people outside the industry often have to seek professional help on their own — something that does not always happen. One of the key goals of the project is to support people who may not have access to professional guidance by explaining how different issues manifest themselves, offering practical tools for self-care and recovery, and highlighting when it is important to seek help from specialists.

The first article focuses on demotivation. It explains how to recognize its early signs, how to distinguish it from simple exhaustion, and what NAVI does to prevent players from reaching this state. Particular attention is paid to techniques that help regain focus, manage daily routines, and gradually restore energy.

The second article explores burnout both within and beyond esports. Readers can assess themselves using descriptions of the five stages of burnout and their symptoms, learn about NAVI’s approach to maintaining performance under a demanding schedule, and discover why variety in everyday life and taking smaller, more frequent breaks are essential elements of burnout prevention.

The final chapter of the project addresses hate and negativity. It explains why hatred and aggression ultimately say more about the hater than the target, how to establish healthy boundaries, and how to avoid being consumed by criticism — especially self-criticism. NAVI’s strategy for dealing with hate, combined with practical exercises, can help readers to challenge negative thoughts and distinguish constructive feedback from a stream of harmful negativity.

All articles from the "Tilt Management" project are available on the EGamersWorld "Tilt Management" platform.

Yerba mate, valued by indigenous South American communities for centuries, delivers natural sustained energy.

Together, these botanicals create an energy experience greater than the sum of its parts. The combination of noble kava root and yerba mate provides a balanced energy profile that creates Botanic Tonics’ signature “chilled energy:” a balanced state of calm, ideal for transforming ordinary moments into opportunities for presence.

Edison Scientific and Population Health Partners Partner to Build the Next Generation of Biotech Companies

Edison Scientific and Population Health Partners (PHP) today announced a strategic partnership to create and launch new biotechnology companies focused on some of the world's largest health challenges.

Under the partnership, Edison and PHP will combine PHP's track record of building successful biotechnology companies with Edison's AI scientist, Kosmos, to identify new opportunities, advance drug programs faster and with greater efficiency, and advance a broader range of innovative new businesses than would be possible through traditional approaches.

PHP is the team behind several notable biotechnology successes, including Metsera, the obesity drug company acquired by Pfizer in a deal worth up to $10 billion, and The Medicines Company, which was acquired by Novartis for $9.7 billion. Population Health Partners focuses on identifying innovations with the potential to improve healthspan at scale, and building companies to advance those innovations with industry-leading efficiency.

Rather than using AI for a single step in the drug development process, Edison and PHP plan to embed Kosmos throughout the lifecycle of ideation, company creation, and drug development — from identifying promising opportunities to dynamically analyzing clinical and nonclinical data, facilitating expert dialogue, and accelerating the development of scientific reports and regulatory deliverables.

The partnership's first effort is already underway and focuses on the full spectrum of development activities around an advanced, clinical-stage asset in PHP’s portfolio with the potential to impact 10% of the world’s population. Additional domains the partners will collaborate on include cardiovascular disease, inflammatory lung disease, and gastrointestinal diseases.

"We've shown that it's possible to build category-defining biotech companies around major population health problems," said Whit Bernard, Managing Partner at Population Health Partners and founder and CEO of Metsera. "The challenge is scale. There are far more important innovation opportunities than any one team can pursue. We believe AI can help us evaluate more opportunities, move faster, and ultimately build many more companies capable of bringing important new medicines to patients."

"Many of the best medicines begin inside small biotech companies, but how much those teams can discover is constrained by time, talent, and resources," said Sam Rodriques, Ph.D., founder and CEO of Edison Scientific. "Our goal is to use AI to dramatically expand what a biotech team can accomplish. If we get this right, we won't just build better companies, we'll build more of them, which means more shots on goal for patients waiting on new treatments."

About Edison Scientific

Edison Scientific is building the AI platform for scientific research and development. Kosmos, Edison’s collaborative AI scientist, partners with R&D teams to support critical decisions and workflows, leverage their proprietary data, and bring innovations to market faster. Edison is a scientist-led company that was spun out of the nonprofit research lab FutureHouse in 2025, backed by $70 million from Spark Capital, Triatomic Capital, and other investors. To learn more, visit edisonscientific.com and follow the company on LinkedIn and X.

About Population Health Partners

Population Health Partners is a global investor in people and technologies that generate healthspan and superior returns. Our portfolio includes Metsera, Corsera Health, Niroda Therapeutics, Onsera Health, and Civia Health. Each company is committed to fixing the biological and economic drivers of poor health at population scale. For more information, visit populationhp.com.

Accesa Hosts 5th Edition of Tech in Motion with the Theme 'Engineering in the Age of Uncertainty'

Accesa hosted the fifth edition of Tech in Motion, its annual tech conference, bringing together 800 tech professionals, industry experts, and business leaders for a day of discussions, knowledge sharing, and innovation under the theme "Engineering in the Age of Uncertainty."

The event featured 17 speakers, including 12 Accesa experts and 5 partners, who shared perspectives on navigating technological and business change through engineering, innovation, and collaboration. Speakers represented organisations including Atruvia, Fressnapf, Databricks and MediaMarktSaturn, alongside experts from Accesa.

"For five editions, Tech in Motion has brought together our colleagues, customers, and partners to look at technology the way we always have: as a way to create value for people and businesses. This year's theme, 'Engineering in the Age of Uncertainty,' reflects a simple belief we hold at Accesa: uncertainty is not a threat to engineering; it is the work itself. Our job is to turn the unknown into real value for the people and businesses we serve every single day," says Gabriel Sobolu, CTO at Accesa.

A highlight of the event was the presentation delivered by Peter Hinssen, internationally recognised author, entrepreneur, and co-founder of nexxworks. In his presentation, "The Never Normal: How to Leverage the Uncertainty Principle," Hinssen challenged organisations to rethink their approach to change, demonstrating how uncertainty can become a driver of resilience, adaptability and long-term growth rather than a barrier to progress.

Attendees gained insights from real-world engineering challenges and business transformation journeys, while also exploring a series of interactive demos and proof of concept areas.

These included showcases focused on the future of European digital payments, production-ready AI development, career growth opportunities, international expansion initiatives, and the celebration of long-standing strategic partnerships.

"Events like these are not only valuable from a professional perspective but also demonstrate the importance of bringing together people with diverse backgrounds and experiences to foster innovation and collaboration. I returned home with many interesting ideas, valuable contacts, and a very positive impression of both the event and the vibrant technology community in Cluj," says Andreas Auer, COO at Kuntze.

Tech in Motion concluded with a joint discussion between Accesa and MediaMarktSaturn on how AI is reshaping engineering practices, influencing strategic decision-making, and creating new opportunities for innovation across industries.

Now in its fifth year, Tech in Motion continues to provide a platform for meaningful conversations between technology experts, business leaders, and partners, fostering collaboration around the ideas shaping the future.

After Germany Exhibition, GOKO M6 Highlights the Next Step in AI-Powered Robotic Lawn Care

Following its recent exhibition appearance in Germany, GOKO has highlighted a growing shift in the robotic lawn care market. As the event made clear, homeowners are no longer satisfied with simple mower automation alone. They increasingly demand robotic mowers that can truly handle the real conditions of their yards: steep slopes, uneven terrain, narrow passages, and obstacles like tree roots and lawn furniture.

The centerpiece of GOKO’s presentation was the GOKO M6. This new AI-powered 4WD robotic lawn mower was developed to handle the complexities of residential landscapes, and it attracted much attention with its blend of terrain adaptability, advanced navigation, and AI-powered vision, coupled with the capability to mow large areas.

As the event made clear, the features of the GOKO M6 reflect a broader shift that is taking place across the robotic lawn care industry.

From Basic Automation to Smarter Lawn Care

As robotic lawn mowers have become increasingly familiar, consumer expectations continue to grow. Whereas early robotic mowers focused primarily on grass-cutting, today’s homeowners are asking a different question: Can a robot lawn mower handle the real-world challenges of my yard?

The ability to mow a flat area with no obstacles is one thing, but the average homeowner’s yard doesn’t resemble a football field. It has slopes, obstacles, and varied zones that require a smarter mower with more advanced mobility, obstacle recognition, and precise navigation. The next phase of robotic lawn care is less about simple automation and more about intelligent adaptability.

Adapting to the Challenges of Real-World Lawns

Residential lawns may often appear simple at first glance, but in practice, they present a wide range of obstacles that can complicate mowing. A lawn mower must navigate steep inclines, muddy patches, uneven surfaces, irregular borders, and narrow passages between landscaping features.

Many properties include large mowing areas that require a mower to do more than follow a basic route. These challenges are more pronounced for homeowners who are responsible for maintaining expansive properties with multiple lawn zones, and robotic mowers have historically struggled to match the effectiveness of their human counterparts.

Designed for More Demanding Outdoor Spaces

The recent presentation of the GOKO M6 can be seen as a direct response to these evolving requirements. The mower’s 4WD system is designed to allow it to function on slopes up to 90% (42°), helping it maintain traction on challenging terrain. Large-diameter tires and an intelligent self-recovery algorithm help it navigate uneven ground and common obstacles like exposed roots, muddy areas, and surface irregularities.

The mower can also traverse obstacles up to 7.5 cm in height, and its AI-powered Quad Vision — with both front- and side-facing cameras — enables it to recognize more than 200 types of objects.

This visual intelligence helps define the GOKO robot lawn mower as part of a new generation of AI-powered lawn mowers. Its side-view vision gives the mower broader awareness near lawn edges, helping it identify nearby obstacles, cut closer to borders, and move through narrow or complex yard layouts with greater confidence. For navigation, the mower combines RTK and VSLAM to support precise and reliable positioning. RTK helps maintain centimeter-level mowing accuracy, while VSLAM provides visual backup when positioning signals are interrupted, allowing the mower to keep operating for up to 10 minutes or across 150㎡. The system also supports both Local RTK + VSLAM and Network RTK + VSLAM, giving users the flexibility to choose the setup that works best for their yard conditions.

Improving Everyday Lawn Maintenance

The GOKO M6 Robot Lawn Mower is also designed to simplify ongoing lawn management in ways that go beyond navigation. Its 42 cm cutting width and optional dual-disc cutting system help increase efficiency, while expandable battery configurations allow for up to 4,000 square meters of coverage per charge, with a daily mowing capacity of 8,000 square meters.

The GOKO App supports customized mowing schedules and multi-zone management, which may prove helpful to homeowners managing larger properties. Different sections of the property can be configured independently.

Some of the GOKO M6’s features may also protect lawn health over time. Intelligent route planning and automatic lateral path offsetting help reduce repeated wheel pressure along the same tracks. And 180° independent front-wheel steering allows for not only better navigation, but also smoother, more lawn-friendly turning.

Growing Recognition Beyond the Exhibition Floor

The visibility generated during the recent German exhibition follows broader recognition for the GOKO M6 across the design and technology communities. The product has received recognition from the French Design Award Gold and Red Dot Award, and it has attracted coverage from international media outlets, including USA Today, Tom’s Guide, and Notebookcheck.

As robotic lawn mowers continue to evolve, this year’s exhibition in Germany has sparked conversations suggesting a new direction. The market is moving beyond simple automated cutting, and AI-powered 4WD robotic mowers like the GOKO M6 aim to be at the forefront of that evolution.

There’s a real emotional connection to this brand.”

She continued, “I stepped into this role because we have the opportunity to expand our digital business, strengthen our wholesale partnerships, and most importantly, lean into what our customer already loves. Brahmin has all the ingredients — that’s what makes this such an exciting opportunity.”

Warmy.io Research Reveals Why Clean Sending IPs Are No Longer Enough to Protect Email Deliverability

Warmy.io, the email deliverability platform, today released a research report on the SURBL Blacklist (Spam URI Realtime Blocklist), one of the most widely used yet least understood threat databases in email security. The report identifies SURBL as a growing source of silent delivery failures in 2026 — cases where emails reach the inbox but all links inside are quietly disabled by Gmail and Outlook, leaving senders with no bounce, no alert, and no obvious explanation for the drop in performance.

Unlike traditional IP-based blacklists, SURBL does not evaluate who is sending an email. It evaluates what is inside it. Every link, redirect, and tracked URL in an email body is scanned against SURBL’s five specialized sub-lists — covering phishing domains, malware-hosting sites, compromised websites, and high-volume spam domains. A clean sending IP and a positive sender reputation score provide zero protection if a flagged domain appears anywhere in the message.

The Warmy research identifies five root causes behind listings of legitimate senders: hacked CMS infrastructure with hidden redirect scripts installed without the owner’s knowledge; affiliate links that carry the reputation history of every sender who has previously used them; snowshoe linking tactics that mirror known spammer behavior; insecure contact forms that can be exploited to route spam through a legitimate domain; and links to newly registered domains under 72 hours old, which SURBL treats as a high-risk signal by default.

“You don’t have to do anything wrong to end up on SURBL. A hacked website, a borrowed affiliate link, or an insecure contact form is enough to get your domain flagged — with no actual spam required on your part,” says Daniel Shnaider, Email Deliverability Expert at Warmy.io. “The absence of a bounce is not a signal that everything is fine. It’s often the opposite.”

The report details four warning signs that indicate a SURBL listing may be in effect: SMTP 554 bounce codes arriving from a server with a clean IP; a significant and unexplained drop in click-through rates across delivered campaigns; “too many hops” errors generated when receiving servers attempt to follow redirect chains; and complaint spikes tied to a specific URL rather than a sending domain.

For senders already listed, the research outlines a three-step removal process: identifying the specific SURBL sub-list via the lookup tool at surbl.org, remediating the root cause before submitting any removal request, and filing a formal submission with a documented technical explanation of both the cause and the corrective steps taken. The report notes that vague removal requests are routinely deprioritized by SURBL reviewers.

The full report, including sub-list analysis, detection methodology, and a step-by-step remediation framework, is available at www.warmy.io.

Touchstone Education Expands Into North America to Support International Demand for Property Investment Education

Touchstone Education, the property investment education company co-founded by Paul Smith and Aniko Smith, is expanding its global operations to serve a growing international demand for structured property investment training. The company is broadening access to its online programmes, live group coaching, and deal-focused education model for students outside Europe, including those in North America.

Expanding Access to Established Training

While the organization is busy expanding its international presence, its focus remains on offering a consistent educational framework. This expansion helps students in their own territories to access Touchstone’s programmes, which encompass the online Wealth through Property course and the 12-month Wealthy Academy programme. 

The company’s growth has been built on a model designed to grow and serve students across multiple regions. Touchstone has been able to integrate digital coursework with live group coaching and specialized deal clinics, with an aim of educating students about the practical side of property investment. These training modules cover several investment strategies, including residential property, serviced accommodation, commercial property, and joint ventures. Each is composed of material that can apply to a number of diverse market conditions.  

A More Structured Education

At the root of the company's growth is a curriculum built directly from Paul Smith's personal investment history, not theory, but strategies he implemented with his own capital across more than four decades before teaching a single paying student. Smith purchased his first London property for under £10,000 at the age of 17 in 1981. He built his portfolio alongside a full-time corporate career that took him from a Ford Motor Company factory floor to Managing Director of Allied Distillers, a multi-billion-pound operation spanning 26 sites across more than 100 countries. His final corporate redundancy came in 2004, at the age of 39. He has never worked as an employee since. The curriculum Touchstone teaches, lease options, rent-to-rent, serviced accommodation, commercial property, joint ventures, reflects strategies Smith used personally across those decades, adapted for students at every stage of their investment journey.

A Foundation Built on Expertise

The company's curriculum is influenced by the professional background of its leaders. Founder Paul Smith transitioned into the property sector after exiting the corporate world. His personal experience, which includes the initial purchase of a property, followed by the development of a diverse portfolio, has contributed to the practical angles the company offers. His background in navigating market cycles and property management is also the basis for the training modules.  

As a result of Smith’s influence, the company utilizes a “three-legged milking stool” concept, which emphasizes diversifying income streams in order to balance financial risk. The curriculum guides students from one strategy to another, along with offering access to Touchstone's course library. Students are also exposed to real investment opportunities. Notably, the programme includes a money-back guarantee if students don't generate returns equal to or greater than their tuition fees. 

"Property is where you earn the right to invest," Smith explains. "It is the most accessible vehicle for building your first million in net worth, because the bank helps you buy it, you can improve it, and you can do it in parallel with your existing career. Once you have built that foundation, you diversify into other asset classes and geographies. That is the full arc Touchstone teaches: creation, protection, and legacy. We are bringing that framework to North America because the principles are universal, and American investors deserve access to a system that has been validated by tens of thousands of students across more than 150 countries."

About Touchstone Education

Touchstone Education is a Liechtenstein-based property investment education company co-founded by Paul Smith and Aniko Smith. The company provides online courses, live group coaching, deal clinics, and structured training programmes designed to help students learn property investment strategies, including residential property, serviced accommodation, commercial property, and joint ventures.
