The launch marks a significant evolution of the Jackpot.com platform, expanding beyond draw games and scratch tickets into a full-spectrum gaming destination that meets players wherever they are.

An Industry First

The $46B skill game market is a rapidly growing category within real money gaming. Jackpot.com is the first lottery courier platform to integrate real-money P2P skill games alongside traditional draw games and scratch tickets. Unlike games of pure chance, skill games place outcome in the hands of the player — offering a fundamentally different and highly engaging entertainment experience. Jackpot.com’s skill games offering includes Blackjack, Skills Slots, Solitaire, and many more popular games.

The addition of competitive tournaments further elevates the offering, creating a recurring, community-driven format that gives players a reason to return — and compete

Powered by THNDR’s Skill-Gaming Network

Jackpot.com’s skill games are powered by THNDR, the company building the premier PvP skill-gaming network for regulated operators. THNDR has become one of the fastest-rising names in competitive real-money gaming: the company reports more than 160 million games played, a 99.99% match-fill rate, and 25-plus operators live across sportsbook, daily fantasy, and lottery platforms. By building on THNDR’s cross-operator player network and patent-pending game verification, Jackpot.com offers instant, skill-based matchmaking where every outcome is decided by player skill rather than chance.

“Jackpot.com is the first major operator to go live with skill games in full capacity, and the partnership has already far exceeded all expectations. Skill games make a lottery product more competitive and more complete, giving players new reasons to come back. And this partnership is just getting started.”

Desiree Dickerson, CEO & Co-Founder, THNDR

A Complete Gaming Platform

With the launch of Skill Games and Tournaments, Jackpot.com now offers players a comprehensive catalog spanning:

Draw Games — multi-state jackpot games including Powerball®️, Mega Millions®️, and local state gamesScratch Tickets — authentic scratch cards delivered digitallyP2P Skill Games and Tournaments — real-money competitive games where player skill drives outcomes

This breadth of product is unmatched in the lottery courier category, positioning Jackpot.com not merely as a ticket-ordering service, but as a destination gaming platform built for the modern player.

“Jackpot.com has always believed the future of gaming is a single platform where every type of player finds their game. The launch of skill games and tournaments is the next step in that vision — expanding how players engage, giving them more reasons to return, and more ways to win.”

— Dharin Nanavati, Chief Growth Officer, Jackpot.com

Retail Momentum via Kroger Collaboration

The skill games launch comes on the heels of Jackpot.com’s recent collaboration with Kroger, one of America’s largest supermarket chains, which has brought Jackpot.com branding and access to hundreds of Kroger Fuel Station locations across multiple states.

Reaching a New Generation of Players

Skill games appeal to a distinct player profile — one that wants challenge and competition alongside the thrill of real-money play. By adding this dimension to its platform, Jackpot.com expands its addressable market well beyond traditional lottery players, attracting digitally-native audiences who demand more from their gaming experience.

Tournaments in particular create a high-frequency engagement loop — giving players structured, competitive reasons to return on a daily and weekly basis, and building a community around shared competition.

New capability delivers more natural, adaptive, and human-centered voice-guided healthcare experiences

LOS ANGELES, July 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — DRAI Health today announced the launch of a new personalized voice interaction capability within heyDRAI, its AI-powered healthcare platform. Powered by advanced SpaceXAI technology, this innovation enables more natural, expressive, and context-aware voice-guided healthcare interactions, further advancing DRAI Health’s mission to deliver truly patient-centric digital care.

“By integrating SpaceXAI technology into heyDRAI, we are enabling a more natural, adaptive, and emotionally intelligent interface that enhances how patients interact with healthcare information.” said Gor Galstyan, CTO of DRAI Health.

The new capability transforms AI-guided consultations from static, text-based exchanges into dynamic, conversational experiences tailored to each individual user. Patients can select from a range of voice styles—such as calm and reassuring, clear and clinical, or energetic and motivational—allowing interactions to align with their personal preferences and emotional needs.

Unlike conventional text-to-speech systems that simply vocalize scripted content, heyDRAI’s SpaceXAI-powered voice interaction is designed to understand conversational context, adjust tone dynamically, and deliver responses in a more human-like manner. This creates a more engaging and intuitive experience that helps patients feel more comfortable, attentive, and connected throughout their healthcare journey.

Each user’s preferred voice profile is retained across interactions, ensuring continuity and personalization over time, while maintaining flexibility for users to modify their preferences as needed.

Technology Differentiation Through SpaceXAI Integration

The integration of SpaceXAI technology enables a new class of voice interaction that goes beyond traditional AI voice systems by incorporating:

Context-aware response generation rather than static script delivery

Adaptive tone modulation based on conversational flow and user engagement

Improved reasoning and coherence in multi-step healthcare interactions

More natural conversational pacing, reducing cognitive load for users

These capabilities are particularly important in healthcare, where clarity, empathy, and precision directly impact patient understanding and engagement.

Leadership Commentary

“Healthcare conversations are deeply personal. Our goal is to make interactions with AI feel less transactional and more human,” said Gor Galstyan, CTO of DRAI Health. “By integrating SpaceXAI technology into heyDRAI, we are enabling a more natural, adaptive, and emotionally intelligent interface that enhances how patients interact with healthcare information.”

Enhancing the Patient-Centric Healthcare Experience

The introduction of personalized voice interaction represents a significant step forward in DRAI Health’s broader vision to create a continuous, patient-centered healthcare experience spanning:

Wellness and preventive care

Symptom assessment and early intervention

Acute and chronic condition support

Post-acute recovery and ongoing monitoring

By embedding advanced voice interaction into the consultation flow, heyDRAI improves accessibility for a wide range of users, including those who prefer voice-first interaction or may have difficulty engaging with traditional text-based interfaces.

Looking Ahead

The personalized voice capability is now available within heyDRAI and will continue to evolve with additional features, including deeper personalization, multilingual support, and enhanced clinical interaction workflows.

About DRAI Health

DRAI Health is developing AI-powered healthcare technologies designed to transform how patients, providers, and health systems interact with medical information. Through platforms such as heyDRAI, the company focuses on intelligent intake, guided consultation, patient engagement, and clinical decision support.

DRAI Health’s mission is to make healthcare more accessible, personalized, and human-centered, leveraging advanced artificial intelligence combined with real-world clinical insight.

PrimeBOT Brings Personal Robotics to the UN’s AI for Good Summit in Geneva

Published

on

By

GENEVA, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PrimeBOT, a robotics brand, appeared at the United Nations’ AI for Good Global Summit. The summit, organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) with over 50 UN agencies including UNESCO, explores how AI can serve human welfare. PrimeBOT defines a new category: the Personal Robot – robots designed for homes and daily life, not production lines, that anyone can own, program, and create with. PrimeBOT came not to showcase technical specs, but to join a global conversation on education, inclusion, and human potential.

Personal robots will reshape how AI is taught. Imagine a child learning to code by teaching a real robot to move and respond. PrimeBOT Q1 offers a developer console for young learners. Children start with block-based programming to choreograph movements, expressions, and conversational responses – turning Q1 into a companion that listens and speaks. They can then convert blocks into Python code and train AI models to recognize gestures or objects, making the entire machine learning cycle tangible. Programming becomes a conversation with a robot, not abstract syntax. PrimeBOT envisions Q1 as an AI learning companion for every family – not replacing teachers or parents, but making education hands-on and playful.

PrimeBOT’s vision is collaboration and integration – robots understanding human needs and augmenting creativity. The brand partners with youth and educational institutions globally, helping people see technology as a connector, not a divider. At the UN, PrimeBOT chose education over spectacle. In its view, technology must let the next generation grow as creators of AI, not just consumers.

PrimeBOT is in dialogue with educational and non-profit organizations across North America and Europe to explore how personal robots can support youth AI literacy. This is a patient journey – not a product announcement, but a shared exploration with educators, parents, and children. The future of personal robots is not something to be defined alone – it will be built together.
