VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 03, 2020 — Loop Insights Inc. (MTRX:TSXV; RACMF:OTCBQ) (the “Company” or “Loop”), a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence (“AI”) to drive real-time insights, enhanced customer engagement, and automated venue tracing to the brick and mortar space, is pleased to announce the launch of a second product into the Telus IoT Marketplace (T:TSX; TU:NYSE), which will serve to significantly expand Loop’s sales distribution channels on a national scale.

On October 15th, Loop announced the significant milestone of having been accepted into the TELUS IoT Marketplace . The Company’s first product accepted into the IoT Marketplace was our venue tracing service, which has received significant exposure to many of TELUS’s largest customers and significant ongoing discussions with them. The third-party validation that came with this acceptance has been instrumental in Loop’s venue tracing discussions with large corporate customers worldwide.

LOOP’S SECOND PRODUCT IS ITS INSIGHTS SERVICE AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INSIGHTS PORTAL USED IN PILOT ACROSS 3 TELUS FLAGSHIP RETAIL LOCATIONS

On September 17th, Loop announced an agreement with TELUS to conduct a 90-day proof of concept pilot across TELUS’s three flagship corporate retail locations in British Columbia.

TELUS deployed Loop’s Insights service, which consists of our IoT Fobi device, Loop Cloud API, and AI Insights Portal to test and leverage its automated marketing capabilities. Connected between the printer and point of sale, Loop’s Fobi device’s real-time capabilities are driven by Artificial Intelligence to enhance the shopping experience. Providing data-driven product suggestions and unique discount codes for future use, Loop enables TELUS’s customers to increase revenues through increased spend per customer.

The first goal of the Pilot, assuming a successful completion, was for Loop to achieve exponential scale through a channel reseller distribution partnership for our Insights service with TELUS, which has now been achieved. This acceptance into the TELUS IoT Marketplace provides Loop with national sales and marketing exposure to TELUS business customers. As a result of this announcement, TELUS will generate creditable third-party validation and credibility for our go-to-market strategy.

Loop Insights CEO Rob Anson stated, “To be recognized by TELUS for our now second IoT product designation into their IoT Marketplace is of huge significance given the fact they are clearly one of the most advanced IoT solutions providers in the world. Their sales and marketing support will be invaluable in commercializing and distributing our technology to TELUS customers across Canada, as will their third party validation by providing us with even greater strength when speaking to potential IoT customers around the world.”

Andrew Turner, TELUS VP Strategic Operations stated, “At TELUS, we are always looking to deliver leading IoT solutions to our valued business customers. It is excellent to see early-stage Canadian companies such as Loop Insights succeeding. After first successfully launching Loops venue tracing and management service on the TELUS IoT Marketplace, we are excited to deliver their Insights service. Now with two Loop services on our TELUS IoT Marketplace, we are eager to see where we evolve from here.”

TELUS launched the TELUS IoT Marketplace to help Canadian businesses accelerate the adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) tech. The marketplace is designed to allow businesses to quickly deploy IoT solutions while acting as a lead generation and sales channel for developers. TELUS has also committed its sales and marketing teams to provide support.

Loop takes the guesswork out of decision making with its Insights service. Businesses receive real-time updates on how their company is performing online, on-premise, and between properties. Loop enables access to 100% of every transaction providing real-time insights and analytics, micro and macro buying trends, AI forecasting and modeling, third-party data integration, and inventory / supply chain management all with its plug-and-play setup that requires no IT integration. With Loop, businesses improve their operations, inventory management, and marketing because Loop’s ability to connect multiple data points brings value to data.

The second goal of the Pilot is a rollout of our Insights service to all TELUS corporate stores. Loop will provide an update on this when it becomes available.

On November 4th, Loop announced the successful completion of a 20 location pilot with a leading US-based retailer, resulting in a rollout to 550 locations .

CANADIAN IoT MARKET TO HIT $21.8 BILLION BY 2023

The importance of this TELUS IoT Marketplace distribution channel to Loop is critical and timely, given the growth of IoT in Canada over just the next couple of years. IoT Investment in Canada alone is growing exponentially, which will require companies and organizations to make fast decisions with respect to solutions. Our TELUS recognition and acceptance will make it much easier for those decision-makers to chose Loop.

Nigel Wallis, Vice President, Internet of Things and Industries at IDC Canada stated, “In Canada alone, IDC anticipates that the total IoT market will grow To $21.8 billion in 2023. While organizations are investing in hardware, software, and services to support their IoT initiatives, their next challenge is finding solutions that help them manage, process, and analyze the data being generated from all these connected things.”

Loop Insights $MTRX.ca $RACMF Achieves 100% Success in Delivering First Ever Fully Integrated “Venue Bubble” in Live Environments at #NCAA College Basketball Tournaments. Live Demonstrations Lead to Significant Discussions About Largest North American Sporting Events in 2021

Success of Venue Bubble Solution in Las Vegas Has Also Created Visibility and Opportunity for Loop Travel Bubble Solutions

  • Announced the successful execution of its “Venue Bubble” solution in two separate live environments hosting NCAA Division 1 basketball teams.
  • The Loop Insights Venue Bubble solution was 100% successful in containing the bubble.
  • Moreover, the system did not suffer any outages and user experiences proved to be as seamless as anticipated, leading to overall satisfaction levels surpassing participant expectations and even Loop’s loftiest internal expectations.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 01, 2020 — Loop Insights Inc. (MTRX:TSXV) (RACMF:OTCQB) (the “Company” or “Loop”), a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence (“AI”) to drive real-time insights, enhanced customer engagement and automated venue tracing to the brick and mortar space, is pleased to announce the successful execution of its “Venue Bubble” solution in two separate live environments hosting NCAA Division 1 basketball teams.

Loop Insights CEO Rob Anson stated, “There is simply no way to overstate the implications of our live environment Venue Bubble successes in Florida and Las Vegas over the past 10 days. With the whole world watching, including professional sports leagues and teams, college sports leagues and teams, world-renown venues and hospitality companies, Loop hit it out of the park and provided the world with the empirical data necessary to demonstrate our bubble solution is nothing short of world-class. To this end, we have already commenced significant discussions regarding the possibility of Loop protecting and helping to re-open some of North America’s largest sporting events in 2021.”

On October 8, 2020, Loop Insights announced it was selected as the Premier Venue Tracing and Fan Engagement Solution for NCAA College Basketball #VegasBubble in Las Vegas , where games are being played at MGM Grand Garden Arena, Mandalay Bay Events Center, and T-Mobile Arena between November 25 and December 22, 2020.

On November 9, 2020, Loop Insights announced it would Implement the First-Ever Fully Integrated “Venue Bubble” ( End-To-End Testing, Contact Tracing, and Alert Notifications) at the #BeachBubble NCAA College Basketball Tournament in Fort Myers, Florida , hosting 14 NCAA Division I men’s and women’s basketball teams in November and December that are playing at both Hertz Arena and Alico Arena (FGCU) while lodging at the Hyatt Regency.

The #BeachBubble implementation represented the first-ever end-to-end COVID-19 venue solution in a live environment and a major industry milestone given the global demand for venue solutions from enterprise-level organizations around the world. It was naturally extended to #VegasBubble.

bdG Sports CEO, Brooks Downing stated, “We are very excited with the performance and success of both Fort Myers and the Las Vegas Bubbles. The Loop Insights platform provided a great level of security while providing a very user-friendly experience for our participants. We look forward to working alongside Loop in upcoming future events.”

DATA CONFIRMS 100% SUCCESS AT BOTH #BEACHBUBBLE AND #VEGASBUBBLE TOURNAMENTS

With the #BeachBubble tournament having commenced earlier, the following interim statistics from that specific event can be shared with the public, similarities to which are also being generated at #VegasBubble.

Total Locations – 14

Total Enrolled Users – 553

Total Check-Ins – 3,830

Contact Tracing Checks – 2 reports had to be generated for potential infected cases, with tests confirming both were negative.

Conclusion – The Loop Insights Venue Bubble solution was 100% successful in containing the bubble. Moreover, the system did not suffer any outages and user experiences proved to be as seamless as anticipated, leading to overall satisfaction levels surpassing participant expectations and even Loop’s loftiest internal expectations.

SUCCESS OF VENUE BUBBLES CREATES SIGNIFICANT VISIBILITY AND OPPORTUNITY FOR LOOP #TRAVELBUBBLE SOLUTION SUPPORTED BY APPLE AND GOOGLE WALLET

As the resort convention capital of the world, the #VegasBubble provided Loop with the best possible opportunity to showcase its #TravelBubble solution for the global hospitality and travel industry, the latter of which is set to lose $USD 3.3 Trillion as a result of COVID-19.

To this end, Loop has completed all development and applications for the successful launch of its #TravelBubble solution that is completely embedded into one simple user interface – supported by Apple and Google wallet. Specifically, Loop provides a digital Wallet to users and assigns a digital ID to each user for the highest levels of security. Travelers are then able to upload COVID-19 testing results, vaccination certificates, boarding passes, airline loyalty rewards or points, travel insurance, driver’s license, and payments in one interface. 

LOOP IS FIRST TO MARKET WITH OPERATIONAL PLATFORM  

This complete and ready to deploy solution has garnered greater attention, as a result of the Company’s Venue Bubble success, from large global players who are only beginning to build their solutions, such as IATA, aiming to launch a cross-border solution in the first quarter of 2021. 

Loop not only is first to market with a complete operational platform built for deployment, it is also the first to successfully execute its solutions in a large, active, and live environment thanks to the success of the #BeachBubble and #VegasBubble. 

This is critical given the fact airlines, who can no longer wait for governments to scale back blanket quarantines to re-build their businesses, have taken the lead to partner directly with hotels and destinations to launch their own private bubbles. 

Rob Anson stated, “We are bringing a plug-and-play solution that can plug into any existing platform today. Recent high-level discussions within the airline industry confirm our advanced level of preparedness. Furthermore, we also meet the needs of the various travel bubbles and governments with public health officials looking to endorse the re-opening of economies, including the safe reopening of borders.” 

As a result, Loop believes an exponential opportunity to license its entire platform or pieces of it to many potential clients such as IATA, Hotel Chains, Airlines, and Government. 

LOOP TRAVEL BUBBLE SOLUTION SOLVES CURRENT QUARANTINE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE SHUTTING DOWN INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL

As a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, mandatory 14-day quarantine periods, and the lack of any travel bubble solutions that could reliably track and mitigate the global spread of the virus by plane or cruise ship, countries have been forced to take drastic measures that are leading to significant damage of the global travel industry.

Specifically, as of today, travel restrictions by country are as follows:

50 countries are completely closed

123 countries are partially open with MANDATORY quarantine upon arrival

(Source – https://www.ca.kayak.com/travel-restrictions)

With governments beginning to use rapid testing as a means of limiting the risks of COVID-19 importation when re-opening their borders to travelers without quarantine measures, Loop provides a means to ensure closed-loop COVID-19 testing and proof of vaccination is available for all international travelers, as well as, the information flow infrastructure needed to enable it.

$3.3 TRILLION IN LOSSES FOR GLOBAL TOURISM INDUSTRY

Without a solution to replace the drastic travel measures currently in place around the world, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) reported that COVID-19 may cost the world tourism sector losses of US$ 3.3 trillion.

In Canada alone, according to Statista, the Canadian tourism industry contributed close to $40 billion to the economy in 2019. This year, the COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating consequences for the industry.

On October 8, 2020 Loop Insights (MTRX:TSXV) (RACMF:OTCQB) announced it had been  “Selected as the Premier Venue Tracing and Fan Engagement Solution for NCAA College Basketball “Bubble” in Las Vegas”.

In that press release, MTRX CEO Rob Anson stated:

“Interest in Loop’s integrated contactless platform by NCAA Division I conferences, schools, and now events have been significant over the past couple of months as they desperately search for best of breed solutions that will allow them to safely restart operations and generate revenue. Being selected for the Vegas bubble is more validation and another major opportunity for Loop to showcase our contactless capabilities on a large-scale project with a global audience. With this agreement, it is fair to say that Loop continues to be the leader in live venue contactless technology.”

Loop Insights $MTRX.ca $RACMF Partners With iSTOC, Europe’s Leading Covid-19 Mobile Testing Applications Company, to Create Global FDA and HIPPAA Compliant Covid Tracing and Testing Solution $AT.ca $QTRH.ca $SNSR $BSQR $PTS.ca

  • Announced the signing of a referral and partnership agreement with iSTOC Ltd. of Finland to provide a complete end-to-end integrated COVID-19 management platform consisting of rapid mobile testing, integrated lab results, and venue tracing with real-time, automated exposure alert notification capabilities.
  • The combined solution arising from this partnership will create a Covid-19 tracing and testing solution that is FDA and HIPPAA compliant and can be deployed by any government, NGO, healthcare organization or enterprise-level organization worldwide.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 19, 2020 — Loop Insights Inc. (MTRX:TSXV) (RACMF:OTCQB) (the “Company” or “Loop”), a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence (“AI”) to drive real-time insights, enhanced customer engagement and automated venue tracing to the brick and mortar space, is pleased to announce the signing of a referral and partnership agreement with iSTOC Ltd. of Finland to provide a complete end-to-end integrated COVID-19 management platform consisting of rapid mobile testing, integrated lab results, and venue tracing with real-time, automated exposure alert notification capabilities.

The combined solution arising from this partnership will create a Covid-19 tracing and testing solution that is FDA and HIPPAA compliant and can be deployed by any government, NGO, healthcare organization or enterprise-level organization worldwide.

Loop Insights CEO Rob Anson stated : “I am very honoured for the opportunity to partner with Jarmo and his world-class team at iSTOC. These have been very trying times, and as we head into the fall-winter months, every country is in desperate need of a complete transformative solution that enables the resumption of in-person schooling, travel, commerce, and a return of spectators to live events. This is a very big day for the Company as our partnership with iSTOC positions us as a true global leader regarding complete Covid-19 management solutions.”

iSTOC WILL HAVE FACILITATED MILLIONS OF TESTS IN AT LEAST 50 COUNTRIES BY 2020 END
iSTOC has developed a disruptive mobile solution called IDA (immediate diagnostics and analytics) and has launched rapid tests that can detect antibodies for different infectious diseases from a small drop of blood, plus a mobile diagnostics solution for analyzing the test results, as well as, geographical mapping capabilities for the spread of infectious diseases such as Covid-19. The globally scalable end-to-end solution has proven to be a powerful product and service, offering significant and innovative new business opportunities for iSTOC business partners and customers.

The IDA Platform digitalizes and analyses lateral flow tests (LFTs), including all major infectious diseases. Unlike PCR tests, LFTs detect the antibodies for diseases like Covid-19, which means that LFTs do not show early acute infections but can detect infections beyond the first 14 days of the infection, after which PCR is ineffective.

All diagnostics are performed using smartphone cameras, making it possible to deliver on three important diagnostic criteria: high quality, accessibility even in the most remote locations, and affordability in countries with lower income and high out of pocket costs.

6 Small Cap Stocks That Are Providing Real Products and Solutions In The Fight Against #Coronavirus #COVID19 $DM.ca $CBDT.ca $INNO.ca $KNR.ca $MTRX.ca $PRMO.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:18 PM on Thursday, November 12th, 2020
What do you call the disease caused by the novel coronavirus? Covid-19

The devastation and destruction of Coronavirus COVID-19 is well documented and doesn’t need much repeating here. 

What we do know is that COVID-19 has created global demand for highly specialty products required to protect, test, detect and defend as many people as possible. 

Moreover, given its persistence and the potential for a 2nd wave around the world, governments and businesses both big and small are now in need of solutions that go beyond locking down economies by helping them stay open, generate revenue, keep people employed … all while keeping them safe.

There are no magic bullets.  COVD-19 didn’t exist 12 months ago, so there are no established or incumbent leaders.  This has created an opportunity for small but nimble companies with high-tech expertise to adapt their products as solutions in one of the many verticals that require help fighting COVID-19.

Here are 6 small-cap companies (in alphabetical order) that have provided real solutions to helping the fight against COVID-19.

Datametrex AI Limited (DM:TSXV) (D4G:FSE) (DTMXF: OTC )an AI and Machine learning company was well positioned with deep roots in South Korea to make the ultimate pivot to Covid-19 test kit distribution.  When the Canadian Government came calling for assistance in importing and distributing COVID-19 test kits, Datametrex stepped up to the task thanks to its security clearances already in place in both countries.

Since then, the company has signed multiple multi-million dollar Covid-19 test kit supply agreements with mining companies, a $20M CAD agreement with the television and film industry and various educational institutions.  This is in addition to lucrative AI contracts with various levels of government and enterprise level customers such as LOTTE Group, the fifth-largest conglomerate in Korea with annual revenues of approximately $60B USD.

REVENUE $CAD

Q1 + 62% To $809,000

Q2 + 419% To $1,954,000

TOTAL Q1 AND Q2

REVENUE     $2.8M vs $875K = +220%

GROSS PROFIT $1.2 vs $739K = +62%

Given the speed of incoming contracts, the quarterly financials don’t reflect deals done during the third quarter. Here’s just a few;

  • Datametrex Expands Distribution of Film and Television Coronavirus Testing Across Canada (October 27, 2020)
  • Expands to Toronto Film Production Company for COVID-19 Testing Solutions (September 30, 2020)
  • $20M Supply Agreement With Major Worldwide Media & Entertainment Company for COVID-19 (September 24, 2020)
  • Received Third COVID-19 Order from TV Production Company (September 21, 2020)
  • Received  COVID-19 Test Kits Order for $1.6M From a Canadian Mining Company (September 3, 2020)

··      The company has also experienced robust demand for related services. Datametrex entered into a sales agreement with 7-Eleven Korea for Robotic Process Automation infrastructure (RPA) in order to automate certain business processes.

The global RPA market size is expected to reach $7.2 billion by 2025, rising at a market growth of 32.6% CAGR during the forecast period. RPA is the technology that enables anyone to configure computer software today, or a “robot” to replicate and incorporate the actions of a person working within digital systems to conduct a business process.

Empower (CBDT: CSE) (EPWCF:OTCQB) (8EC:Frankfurt) is a vertically integrated, multi-state operator of medical clinics with a database of over 165,000 patients, a database that almost every medical cannabis and CBD company would kill for …. but that’s not all. In an effort to combat COVID-19 the company’s physician staffed clinics have are also generating significant revenue and growth as follows:  

  • Increased CBD treatments from patients suffering increased anxiety;
  • Covid-19 Testing for individuals and families
  • Covid-19 Testing for local businesses and employees 
  • Covid-19 Testing for enterprise level organizations across the country 
  • Empower Clinics and Loop Insights Combine COVID-19 Testing Expertise With Venue Tracing To Create First Ever “Travel Bubble” Solution For Global Travel Industry Set To Lose $3.3 Trillion
  • Acquisition of an 8,000 sq ft lab in Dallas that can process 4,000 COVID-19 RT-PCR tests per day. RT-PCR tests are considered the gold standard of COVID-19 testing

How significant is this acquisition that only closed a couple of weeks ago? At the lowest price of $USD 80 per test and operating on just 1,000 tests per day, the clinic would deliver $USD 80,000 in revenue PER DAY.

Patient Visits

  • Q1 + 377% To 5,717
  • Q2 + 56% To 6,696

Revenues $USD

  • Q1 + 416% To $790,000 (NO COVID)
  • Q2 + 56% To $923.000

TOTAL Q1 AND Q2

  • REVENUE                 $1.7M vs $745K         = + 130%
  • PATIENTS                 12,400 vs 5,500           = + 125%
  • NET LOSS                 $920K vs 1.85M         = – 50% 

Empower has now delivered growth in 4 successive financial reports (Q4, FY 2019, Q1 and Q2), so it is safe to say that superstar CEO Steve McAuley can officially claim victory on the turnaround he inherited in 2019. 

Oh, and did we mention that CEO Steven McAuley is Six Sigma certified under the quality initiative of legendary GE (General Electric) Chairman Jack Welch? We’ve never seen a Six Sigma certified CEO in the Canadian small cap markets. Never.  Which explains how McAuley has been able to guide Empower Clinics through the most disruptive retail environment in recent history and turn it into significant growth.

Loop Insights CEO, Rob Anson, stated, “The long-awaited integration of UKLIPZ into our product stack is a very important milestone for Loop due to the significant strength it adds to our offering and the disruption it creates in the massive but problematic consumer review industry. We have already begun discussions with key brands and retailers and believe UKLIPZ will become both a very significant new stream of revenue and valuable asset in 2021.”

THE PROBLEM – AMAZON AND WALMART FLOODED WITH FAKE REVIEWS DURING PANDEMIC

On October 19th, Bloomberg News reported that approximately 42% of 720 million Amazon reviews assessed by monitoring service Fakespot were unreliable, while approximately 36% of Walmart.com reviews assessed by Fakespot during the same period were fake.

THE SOLUTION – LOOP ACCESS TO TRANSACTIONS AUTHENTICATES CONSUMER REVIEWS

Customer reviews have become the cornerstone of every retail and e-commerce platform because 63% of customers are more likely to purchase from a site with user reviews. In 2019, YELP, the business review site, generated over $USD 1.01 Billion in revenue.

Loop has the ability to access 100% of all transactions both in-store and online, where our technology is deployed through either our IoT device Fobi (i.e., TELUS IoT marketplace customers) or our POS integration partners such as Vend, Shopify, and others.

As a result of this transparency, Loop can validate the authenticity of consumer reviews posted on the UKLIPZ platform. This unique ability provides a strong differentiator regarding any other deemed competitive platforms in the marketplace today.

UKLIPZ is set to disrupt the social, video marketing, and review industry, which is expected to reach $52B USD by 2023, according to Statista.

THE ADVANTAGES FOR BRANDS AND CONSUMERS

For brands, UKLIPZ will simplify the process of sourcing, creating, curating, and licensing authentic customer reviews. Furthermore, UKLIPZ offers brands real-time measurable attribution for hyper-local, regional, and national campaign performance metrics. Moreover, it can provide brands with digital focus groups and product testing campaigns, as well as target and seek out reviews from specific audiences based on demographics and interests.

Current review sites and solutions simply cannot provide this level of detail and engagement.

For consumers, UKLIPZ provides them with an ability to create a verified and direct connection with their favourite brands, which opens the door to generating income from creating further video reviews, participating in product testing, and other opportunities.

For consumers, curated content created by them is arguably the most powerful influencer of brand and product sales today. The UKLIPZ platform enables consumers to create authenticated video reviews, create a verified and direct connections with their favourite brands, and potentially turn them into income-generating brand influencers and ambassadors.

MONETIZATION AND FURTHER STRENGTHENING THE LOOP INSIGHTS OFFERING

The launch of the UKLIPZ platform is another important strategic move by providing our partners and customers with another immediate complimentary plug-in to expand and significantly strengthen the current Loop solution offering.

Revenues from UKLIPZ will be generated through multiple streams as follows:

  • Monthly SaaS fees from Brands and Retailers;
  • Transaction fees when a consumer purchases through the platform
  • Brands purchasing use of consumer video reviews;
  • Sponsored ads

User-generated content drives a 74% increase in click-through rates, while 45% of marketers surveyed by Forrester agree that user-generated content improves social media advertising and influencer campaigns. UKLIPZ provides brands with an easy way to incentivize and empower customers, employees, and influencers to engage and promote the products they love. This is especially true given that word-of-mouth advertising remains the richest path to authenticity, new customers, and ROI.

As a result of the Covid -19 pandemic, the global retail market faces its largest challenge in decades. According to Forrester.com , the latest forecast on global retail sales deficit will mass more than $2.1 Trillion in 2020. The strong shining light is the emergence and rise in mobile commerce. With an expected increase of 25.6%, Mobile is the growth engine of digital commerce. As a result of Covid-19, consumers have been forced to educate themselves and to embrace mobile and e-commerce, and rely on online retailers for their purchase. As a result of the rapid digital transformation, consumer authentic and trusted reviews have never been more important to consumers, brands, and retailers. The company is confident that it will greatly benefit from strong revenue growth from the built-in mobile commerce within UKLIPZ.

AMAZON PARTNER DESIGNATION OPENS UP DOORS TO GLOBAL FORTUNE 500 RETAILERS AND BRANDS

Rob Anson added , “Every brand on the planet is looking for two things, direct access to their consumer and to understand their behaviour across all channels including e-commerce, mobile commerce, and in-store commerce. UKLIPZ will deliver the sought-after data intelligence through our Artificial Intelligence platform and facilitate direct brand to consumer access and connection.”
