Onspring moves AI from assistant to agent, helping teams automate rule-based work across the platform within administrator-defined controls

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Onspring, a leading provider of integrated GRC software, today announced the next phase of Onspring AI, introducing technology that automates workflows and rule-based decisions within the boundaries set by the system administrator (admin). With the ability to work across the entire platform, Onspring AI helps GRC professionals move beyond manual execution with a governed assistant that keeps users in control.

The upgrade marks a shift in how Onspring’s AI works, now allowing administrators to define rules that prompt agent action. The assistant lives on every screen, enabling connections across workflows to make contextualized decisions and providing answers from every record and application in the GRC program.

Onspring’s 2026 GRC Benchmarking Report found that GRC teams see the clearest near-term value for AI in reducing repetitive administrative work. At the same time, the report showed that broader adoption is being shaped by trust concerns, fragmented workflows and uneven proof of value. Onspring’s Agentic AI eliminates this fragmentation by extending AI across the platform while keeping governance at the forefront of every action.

“We understand that there is a valid concern in letting AI take action in GRC workflows,” said Ryan Lougheed, Vice President of Platform at Onspring. “This next phase of Onspring AI was built to answer that concern directly. Administrators define the rules, teams decide where automation belongs and every action stays visible and auditable inside the platform.”

Onspring AI supports GRC use cases across search, analysis and configuration. Powered by Anthropic’s Claude, these capabilities are designed to help teams turn platform-wide intelligence into governed action.

From Repetitive Admin to Autonomous Action: 70% of GRC practitioners say simplifying repeatable administrative work is AI’s biggest opportunity. Onspring AI reviews documentation the instant it’s attached, without prompting, surfacing control gaps or non-conforming policy documents.An AI Teammate: Documentation collection and review consume nearly a third of a practitioner’s week. Onspring AI acts as a tireless teammate, auto-generating third-party follow-ups and reviewing policy documents against organizational standards, reducing workflow from days to minutes.One Question, Every Record: With 44% of GRC programs still in the experimental AI phase, siloed data continues to limit progress. Onspring AI empowers teams to pull enterprise-wide risk-exposure analysis across audits, assessments and incident logs at once with a single conversation.Governed AI, Not Rogue AI: Losing AI control is top leadership fear. Teams can build vetted prompts and configurations once in Onspring, then deploy them across environments to keep AI consistent, controlled and scalable.

“From our research, we have found that GRC teams see the potential for AI in their space to reduce repetitive administrative tasks,” added Lougheed. “Onspring AI helps teams build a routine of governed action, with agents taking over the mundane tasks to allow human touch on judgment calls and strategic decision-making.”

National Orgasm Day poll finds hands remain the favorite, while many adults turn to sex toys, erotic media and fantasy for solo pleasure.

HILLSBOROUGH, N.C., July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In honor of National Orgasm Day (July 31) and as part of its overall commitment to sexual health and wellness, Adam & Eve surveyed more than 2,000 American adults to learn how they prefer to masturbate. The results show that while manual stimulation remains the most common choice, many adults are embracing a variety of methods – including sex toys, erotic media and fantasy – as part of their solo sexual wellness routines.

More than half of respondents (54%) said they typically use their hands when masturbating, while 15.5% reported using sex toys, 10.5% said they rely on erotic media, and 5.3% said they use fantasy or imagination alone.

Among respondents who use sex toys, nearly 35% said they experience more intense orgasms during solo play than they do with a partner, highlighting the role that self-exploration can play in sexual satisfaction.

“There isn’t one ‘right’ way to masturbate,” says Dr. Jenni Skyler, PhD, LMFT, C-PST, and Adam & Eve’s resident sex therapist. “For some people, their hands provide everything they need. Others enjoy the additional stimulation of a vibrator or stimulator, or the use of erotic content. The important takeaway is that masturbation is a healthy form of self-care, and people shouldn’t feel embarrassed or ashamed about it.”

The web-based survey, conducted by an independent third-party survey company, of over 2,000 American adults ages 18 and up, was commissioned by Adam & Eve as part of its ongoing research into sexual wellness and behavior.

The largest federal investment in rural health in a generation deserves more than disconnected tools. AssureCare and CURIS are making sure FQHCs make it count.

CINCINNATI, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AssureCare®, a leading AI-powered population health management company, and CURIS, a national consulting firm specializing in clinical transformation for community health centers, today announced a partnership to help Federally Qualified Health Centers and rural clinics translate the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Rural Health Transformation (RHT) program funding into care infrastructure that lasts long after the grant cycle ends.

The RHT program represents a $50 billion federal commitment to rural health — the largest of its kind in a generation. Distributed across all 50 states over five federal fiscal years, the program funds five strategic goals: making rural America healthy again, expanding sustainable healthcare access, strengthening the rural health workforce, and driving innovation in both care delivery and technology. AssureCare and CURIS will unpack all five goals – and how the right technology delivers on them – in a live webinar on July 28th.

AssureCare brings the only integrated platform purpose-built for Federally Qualified Health Centers to the partnership, connecting care management, AI-powered analytics, and intelligent patient engagement and outreach capabilities, in a single seamless system. AssureCare’s NutraVance™ now extends that platform into nutrition management, giving FQHCs a clinical pathway for Food as Medicine that connects directly to the chronic disease management goals at the heart of the RHT program – not as a separate initiative, but as part of the same care plan and within the same integrated system.

“FQHCs are being asked to do more with RHT funding than most technology vendors are equipped to help them do,” said Yousuf Ahmad, President and CEO of AssureCare. “Care management, patient engagement, nutrition – these aren’t separate initiatives. They’re all part of the same patient journey, and they require one connected system. That’s what we built. And it’s why care teams using our platform spend less time working around technology and more time doing what they came into this field to do – improve patient outcomes.”

CURIS brings more than a decade of hands-on FQHC expertise, including leading population health strategies and assessments across more than 300 health centers nationwide. Together, AssureCare and CURIS offer FQHCs both the consulting expertise to navigate the RHT program’s requirements and the technology infrastructure to meet all five of its strategic goals on a single, connected platform.

“The organizations that get this right won’t just hit their goals on paper, they’ll achieve sustainable infrastructure that keeps working long after the funding stops,” said Shannon Nielson, Founder and Principal Consultant at CURIS. “The RHT program provides FQHCs real opportunity, but funds alone won’t fix fragmented care. Technology is what turns dollars into real access, better outcomes, and sustainability that lasts. That’s exactly what we’re empowering organizations to do.”

AssureCare and CURIS provide FQHCs with a 360-degree view of every patient, from the first data point to the last interaction. This kind of integrated infrastructure is exactly what the RHT program’s funding is meant to support: technology that improves efficiency, data sharing, and patient outcomes today, while building a foundation FQHCs can rely on tomorrow.
