Partnership combines OpenText’s trusted data and context with Cohere’s North platform and models to help organizations build, connect, and orchestrate agentic AI from pilot to production

MONTREAL, Sept. 16, 2026 /CNW/ — OpenText Corporation (NASDAQ: OTEX) (TSX: OTEX), a global leader in data management and context for enterprise AI, and Cohere, the world’s leading sovereign AI company, today announced a strategic partnership at the ALL IN AI conference to bring trusted agentic AI to governments and regulated industries.

Together, OpenText and Cohere provide complementary layers of the AI stack for the agentic enterprise. As the data and context layer, OpenText unlocks enterprise data, including unstructured, operational and transactional data, and gives agentic AI the context it needs. Cohere provides the application and orchestration layer through North, its secure, privately deployable agentic AI platform, together with its cutting-edge enterprise AI models for powering complex automations. Clients have the choice of where it all runs: on-premises, or in a private, public, or sovereign cloud depending on their security, data, and deployment requirements.

“Data is not the supporting act; it is what gives agentic AI the context it needs to perform,” said Ayman Antoun, Chief Executive Officer, OpenText. “OpenText brings the data and context layer, while Cohere brings the orchestration and models that turn that data into agentic AI that acts with purpose. Together, we give clients what they need to build the agentic enterprise.”

Expected to reach clients in early 2027, the OpenText and Cohere agentic solution is purpose built for governments and organizations in highly regulated sectors, where AI agents must reason over trusted data and act across systems without sacrificing control over data location, security, or deployment. OpenText’s data and context layer already runs inside the world’s top 20 federal governments, along with healthcare systems, financial institutions, insurers, and global supply chains, through its Content, Business Network, IT Operations Management (ITOM), and Cybersecurity solutions.

“Enterprises and governments need AI that can work with their most important data while keeping them in control of where that data lives and how it is used,” said Aidan Gomez, Co-founder and CEO of Cohere. “By bringing North and our models together with OpenText’s trusted data and context, we’re giving organizations a secure path to move agentic AI from pilot to production and put it to work across the systems and workflows their teams rely on every day.”

OpenText brings clients a world-class ecosystem of partners that together deliver the full AI stack they need to deploy agentic AI. The OpenText and Cohere partnership will include product development, integration of Cohere’s agentic platform and models into OpenText Aviator AI agents, coordinated go-to-market execution, and a strategic reseller relationship through SOLEX, enabling OpenText to offer Cohere-supported solutions both on-premises and through OpenText Cloud.

New platform signs TAPP Engine as first fintech leveraging Bolt to accelerate delivery of cash management solutions directly to MSUFCU as the Financial Institution of Record

EAST LANSING, Mich., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Reseda Group today announced the launch of Bolt by Reseda Group, a Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform that enables financial institutions and fintech companies to bring innovative financial solutions to market faster through a secure, API and SDK-driven banking infrastructure with MSU Federal Credit Union (MSUFCU), as the Financial Institution of Record (FIoR). The platform’s first fintech partner, TAPP Engine, is leveraging Bolt to seamlessly connect its cash management solutions directly to MSUFCU as the FIoR, delivering fully branded, modern, embedded banking experiences to their customers.

Bolt delivers the infrastructure fintechs and financial institutions need to launch and scale new products while maintaining the trust, compliance, and security consumers expect. Through a comprehensive suite of APIs, SDKs (Software Development Kit), and software solutions, the platform supports modern digital banking experiences, including account opening, payments and money movement, debit card issuance, external account connectivity, and embedded finance capabilities.

Developed by Reseda Group and informed by the proven innovation experience of MSU Federal Credit Union (MSUFCU), Bolt combines the agility of modern BaaS infrastructure with the real-world expertise of a financial institution that has successfully built and deployed fintech solutions. The result is a secure, scalable platform that empowers fintechs and financial institutions to innovate together, accelerate time to market, and deliver new financial experiences to consumers with confidence.

“Speed to market is essential for both financial institutions and fintech innovators looking to meet evolving consumer expectations,” said Ben Maxim, Chief Operating Officer at Reseda Group and Chief Technology Officer at MSUFCU. “Bolt by Reseda Group was built to remove the barriers that often slow innovation by creating a secure, seamless bridge between fintech innovators and trusted financial institutions.

Through a governed framework, Bolt works with specific vendor partners to securely support Know Your Customer/Know Your Business (KYC/KYB) processes before new account opening begins. Once accounts are established, MSUFCU provides ongoing account monitoring, compliance oversight and identification of unusual account activity to support continued risk management. This shared responsibility model allows fintechs to focus on their customer experience and what they do best.

With Bolt, fintechs and financial institutions gain access to:

Speed to market: Accelerate product launches through streamlined API/SDK connectivity and pre-built banking capabilities.Complete banking infrastructure: Access onboarding, account management, payments, debit card services, and digital banking functionality through a single platform.Secure innovation: Leverage infrastructure designed with compliance, security, and operational resilience in mind.Scalable growth: Adapt financial offerings as consumer and business needs evolve without redesigning entire systems.Simplified integration: Use modern APIs, SDKs, webhooks, and flexible development tools to accelerate implementation.

Bolt enables TAPP Engine to deliver a fully white-labeled private banking experience, allowing each TAPP client to offer a branded, seamless way to manage cash while keeping deposits with trusted credit unions.

“Bolt gives TAPP Engine the critical infrastructure to connect our cash management tools directly to the institutions holding our clients’ deposits,” said Will Dolan, President of TAPP Engine. “Its BaaS platform allows us to deliver a fully white-labeled private banking experience, so every TAPP client can offer a branded, seamless way to manage cash. Because those deposits sit with credit unions, we’re able to pair a premium experience with the trust and community focus that sets this offering apart.”

The launch of Bolt builds on Reseda Group’s vision to strengthen connections between people and their financial institutions through next-generation solutions. By bringing the operational experience of MSUFCU together with the innovation and agility of fintech partners, Bolt creates new opportunities for financial institutions and technology companies to collaborate, expand access to financial services and deliver greater value to the people and businesses they serve.

Ember’s newest smart mug adds on-mug temperature control, dishwasher-safe design, and an included lid for extended battery life, helping customers elevate the everyday coffee and tea ritual

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ember Technologies, the global leader in temperature-controlled drinkware, launched Ember Mug 3 today, the third generation of its flagship mug. Building on more than 10 years of market leadership, Mug 3 introduces several of the most requested improvements from Ember customers. For the first time, users can adjust their drinking temperature directly from the mug without opening the Ember app. Mug 3 is also top-rack dishwasher-safe, making cleaning it easier than ever, and every mug now includes a sipping lid that extends the battery life. 

“Ember has leveraged new technology and innovation to make the new Mug 3 easier and more natural to use, all while maintaining its award-winning design,” said Matt Murray, CEO of Ember. “We listened to our user feedback when developing the new mug, and are excited to share it with the Ember community. If you are an existing Ember user, we think you will be delighted with the new features, and if you are a first-time user, we are excited to change the way you drink your coffee or tea every day.”

With the introduction of Mug 3, users can now set the temperature either on the mug itself or using the accompanying Ember app. Owners press the power button at the bottom of the mug to cycle through five temperature settings in preset five-degree increments, from 125 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. The on-board temperature seamlessly syncs with the Ember app.

Ember improved the materials and manufacturing process for Mug 3 to make it top-rack dishwasher-safe while maintaining the same stainless steel and an FDA-compliant, ceramic-reinforced exterior and interior coating as previous Ember mugs. Caring for your Ember mug is now easier than ever.

Additionally, every Mug 3 now includes a sliding lid to help prevent spilling and keep a drink at its ideal temperature for up to three hours on a single charge, giving users even more time to savor their coffee and tea. 

The Mug 3 ships in 10-ounce and 14-ounce sizes. The 10-ounce is available for $129 USD in black, white, and a new stainless model, while the 14-ounce is $149 USD and has eight color options: black, sage green, lavender, powder blue, salt blue, sandstone, white, and matcha green.

Ember Mug 3 is now available for purchase at ember.com and will be sold at Target, both online and in-store starting September 27. In October, it will also be available on Amazon.
