Powered by AI, real-time audience intelligence and deep analysis of social media data, Kinetik helps creators optimize content strategies and build more engaged, profitable communities.

LONDON, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kineto, a startup backed by the engineering legacy of JetBrains, has unveiled Kinetik, an AI agent specialized in marketing and social media. It analyzes audience behavior, emerging trends and content performance to help creators and marketing professionals make smarter decisions, grow engagement and accelerate and monetize social media growth.

Unlike generic AI tools, Kinetik operates right in the messenger, such as Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, and soon iMessage, and connects to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X, for deeper context. This helps Kinetik understand the creator’s brand voice, handle content writing in their voice, and prepare social media analytics, competitor monitoring, research, and scheduling.

“Kinetik is unlike any other AI tool that I’ve used. It genuinely understands my voice and the way I work,” said Lyubava Zaytseva, a digital content creator. “It analyzed all videos posted for the last year, provided the insights, and identified the trends in minutes instead of the four hours I would spend on it.”

“The truth about creators’ work is that the majority of their time is spent on understanding the algorithms, researching trends, and analyzing the results instead of creating. People have limited capacity to remember the algorithm rules and adapt the content to them; machines are only limited by tokens. Creators today have more opportunities than ever to build businesses around their content, and with Kinetik, they get the tools for every task,” said Andrew Zakonov, CEO and Co-founder of Kineto.

“With significantly boosted content performance and deeper analysis, creators can now leverage AI not for the quick and low-key content production, but actually for the growth of their business on social media.”

Kinetik helps with the most painful and common content and social media tasks:

Trend Research & Content Ideas: Monitors what’s trending in your niche across Instagram, TikTok, X, and the web, providing specific ideas, advice, and content in your voice. It can also automatically send it to Notion or to the doc if you want to save it beyond the chat.Memory: Remembers your niche, audience, style, goals, and past conversations. Every session picks up where the last one left off, so no explanation is needed.Strong learning curve and personalization: Kinetik can be your coach for the better self, but it also learns from you. It never keeps the sensitive data, but it always keeps your goals and the way you think. Ultimately, this makes AI more useful, but also more tolerant and precise – just like you.Voice Notes: Takes a recorded rough thought and turns it into a content idea that fits your strategy.Content Analysis & Insights: Analyzes your posts, engagement patterns, and audience behavior, as well as peers and/or competitors to tell you what’s working and why.Video Review & Feedback: Analyzes editing, pacing, color grading, composition, and gives filmmaker-level feedback with specific timestamps.

Kinetik is also available in Slack for both personal use and team collaboration. When added to a group chat, Kinetik gives teams access to AI-powered marketing tools focused on content creation, social media management, and influencer marketing, one of the fastest-growing yet least-automated niches in AI-driven marketing.

Visit https://kineto.app/ for full product details, pricing, and to get started with a free trial. Subscription plans for individuals and teams are available and open to creators, agencies and marketing teams from 1 to 100 people. Pricing starts at $12.50 with a discount.

Kineto will be demoing Kinetik at VidCon 2026 in Anaheim, California, at booth #5016. They will also be hosting the Creator Track workshop, “AI Magic Behind Your Content,” on Friday, June 26, from 11:00-11:30 a.m. in Room 210AB, featuring Kinetik CEO Andrew Zakonov and special guest creator Anna Deguzman.

About Kineto & Kinetik
Kineto is an independent startup spun out of JetBrains and backed by JetBrains investments and expertise. The same engineering mindset behind IntelliJ IDEA, coding agent Junie and Kotlin, one of the most popular languages for Android development, launched Kinetik, an AI agent for creators and marketing teams that operates in Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram and iMessage coming soon, with a mission to provide creators with an AI teammate that understands their work and allows them to focus on creating.
Kinetik helps with the non-creative work, including research, analytics, strategy, communication with brands, media kits, scripts from voice notes, trend monitoring, and more. It learns your tone, connects to your social accounts, and remembers context across channels.

Infineon wins patent infringement case against Innoscience

Published

June 18, 2026

MUNICH, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The District Court Munich, Germany (Landgericht München I) today ruled in favor of Infineon Technologies in two further of the patent infringement cases – specifically one based on a patent one based on a utility model – concerning gallium nitride (GaN) technology between Infineon and Innoscience.

The cases concern the unauthorized use of GaN technologies patented by Infineon by the Chinese company Innoscience. With today’s rulings, the court prohibits Innoscience from manufacturing, selling, and marketing additional patent-infringing products in Germany. Furthermore, the court has ordered Innoscience to pay damages to Infineon.

This marks Innoscience’s third and fourth legal defeat in a series of court cases, each of which found that Innoscience’s products infringe Infineon’s patents. Courts and authorities in both Germany and the United States have repeatedly concluded that Innoscience’s products infringe Infineon’s intellectual property rights. Prior rulings include the decision against Innoscience from August 1, 2025, in an initial German proceeding. Furthermore, on May 7, the Full Commission of the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) found that Innoscience had infringed an Infineon patent in the field of gallium nitride (GaN) technology. Additional proceedings regarding the infringement of other Infineon patents are pending in the U.S. and Germany.

GaN plays a pivotal role in enabling high-performance and energy-efficient power systems in a broad range of applications, including renewable energy systems, data centers, industrial automation, and electric vehicles (EVs).

“Today’s ruling demonstrates the value of our GaN portfolio and underscores our commitment to vigorously defending our intellectual property and promoting fair competition,” said Johannes Schoiswohl, Senior Vice President and Head of Infineon’s GaN Systems Business Line.

Infineon continuously strengthens its position as a leading integrated device manufacturer (IDM) in the GaN market with the industry’s broadest IP portfolio, comprising approximately 450 GaN patent families. The company remains dedicated to fostering innovation and advancing semiconductor technology to address the world’s most pressing challenges, from decarbonization to digital transformation.

About Infineon
Infineon Technologies AG is a global semiconductor leader in power systems and IoT. Infineon drives decarbonization and digitalization with its products and solutions. The Company had around 57,000 employees worldwide (end of September 2025) and generated revenue of about €14.7 billion in the 2025 fiscal year (ending 30 September). Infineon is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ticker symbol: IFX) and in the USA on the OTCQX International over-the-counter market (ticker symbol: IFNNY).

They Call it “The Unfair Advantage”.

LOS ANGELES, Jun 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ —

Talent is not enough without a team.

Most people do not lose because they lack talent. They lose because they do not have a team behind them. Aquarius is out to change that. Two new tools, Press AI and PR Spotlight, put a full news team and a full marketing department in one person’s hands. It is the kind of firepower everyone needs go scale. See it all at Aquarius.io.

Press AI: a full news team for one person

Press AI is a full news team for one person. Give it a story and it researches live sources, checks the facts, turns your interviews into clean, quotable transcripts, and hands back a finished piece with sources attached, ready to file. It does the work of an entire team, so one reporter can chase more leads, break more stories, and beat every deadline.

“Talent is everywhere. The team behind it is not,” said Chaela Harrell, a co-founder of Aquarius. “Aquarius gives one person the power of a whole company. We are your unfair advantage.”

PR Spotlight: your own marketing department

PR Spotlight is a full marketing department in a single tool. Answer a few questions and it researches your brand, then builds investor grade pitch decks and complete media kits, designs your logo, and even handles your contracts, letting you upload, send, sign, and receive them through DocuSign. Together, Press AI and PR Spotlight do the work of an entire team, putting serious media and marketing power in anyone’s hands. Press AI and PR Spotlight are available now at Aquarius.io. Take a look, test it and see what the hype is about.

The rest of the Aquarius family

Press AI and PR Spotlight join a whole family of Aquarius tools: Muse Lab for image and video, Chronicles for cinematic storytelling, Viral AI for social content, and Aria, a voice driven executive assistant. The platform is self serve, so you only pay for what you make. Every tool is built on one idea: give one person the team they never had. That is your unfair advantage.

Press AI and PR Spotlight are the next step in what Aquarius set out to do: put professional grade tools in the hands of the people who were never handed a team.
