Need for Private AI

In an era where leveraging AI technologies is essential for competitive advantage, organizations face significant concerns about protecting their intellectual property, safeguarding their private data, and retaining the ability to choose AI models that best meet their unique needs. These challenges underscore the critical need for Private AI — a novel approach designed to deliver substantial business benefits while meeting the stringent privacy and compliance requirements of modern enterprises.

Revolutionizing Private AI Deployment

Alan AI’s platform is now fully available in an on-premise private cloud environment or a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), expanding beyond the current SaaS offering at https://alan.app. These unique offerings allow enterprises to build, deploy, and manage universal agents in a completely private and trusted manner.

Key New Features to Accelerate Enterprise Adoption

The entire Alan AI platform for developing, testing, deploying, and managing universal agents is now available in two configurations for fully private AI deployments -Independent Configuration: Deploy the AI platform in an independent private cloud where the entire lifecycle of an agent from creation to management, as well as user data, remains contained within the private cloud.Hub & Spoke Configuration: Develop, test, deploy, and manage agents from a private cloud instance designated as a ‘Hub,’ with other private clouds where the agents are deployed and used designated as ‘Spokes.’Complete Data Control: With Alan AI’s platform, every bit of enterprise data stays within the private cloud. This control is crucial for enterprises concerned with data sovereignty and privacy, allowing them to build, deploy, and manage versatile agents without external data exposure.Future-Proof LLM Technology: The evolving landscape of Large Language Models (LLMs) presents a challenge for enterprises looking to stay current. Recent announcements, from Google Gemini , OpenAI’s GPT-4o , Anthropic Claude , Mistral to Meta’s LLama 3, highlight the need for a flexible platform. Alan AI’s platform is uniquely designed to accommodate this dynamic environment by abstracting the LLM layer. This ensures that agents and their reasoning capabilities remain effective and relevant, leveraging the advances in underlying LLM technologies.

Alan AI is setting a new standard for Private GenAI implementation in the enterprise sector by offering a platform that protects data integrity and leverages technological advancements.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
