Brandi AI Wins a Gold Stevie Award for New Product of the Year for AI Visibility and Generative Engine Optimization

Top Stevie honor recognizes Brandi AI’s enterprise platform for helping marketing, PR and communications teams measure and improve how brands appear in AI-generated answers

MCLEAN, Va., July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Brandi AI™, the leading enterprise platform for Brand Intelligence, AI visibility, and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), today announced it has won a Gold Stevie® Award in the New Product of the Year – Advertising, Marketing & Public Relations Technology category in the third annual Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence.

The Gold Stevie, the competition’s highest level of recognition, honors Brandi AI’s work helping marketing and communications leaders understand, measure and improve how their brands are represented across AI-generated answers.

As consumers and B2B buyers increasingly use platforms such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overview and Perplexity to research companies, compare products, evaluate vendors and form opinions, brand discovery is no longer confined to search results, news coverage, social media or corporate websites. AI-generated answers are becoming a new layer of reputation, visibility, and influence.

For marketing and PR leaders, that shift creates a critical measurement gap. Traditional metrics such as search rankings, website traffic, media impressions and share of voice remain important, but they do not show whether an organization is being cited by AI, how its brand is being described, which messages are being repeated or which competitors are gaining visibility in high-intent conversations.

Launched in October 2025, Brandi AI gives marketing, communications, PR, SEO and digital teams a unified view of how brands appear across AI-generated answers. It measures citation frequency, messaging accuracy, sentiment and competitive share of voice inside AI-generated answers, giving organizations the insight needed to strengthen their visibility where AI-driven discovery is increasingly influencing purchasing decisions. These insights help leaders understand whether their existing content, media coverage, product messaging and digital authority are translating into visibility within AI-driven discovery.

“Marketing and communications leaders are entering an era in which brand perception is increasingly shaped before a buyer visits a website, reads a press release or speaks with a sales team,” said Leah Nurik, CEO of Brandi AI. “AI platforms are answering questions about which companies matter, which products stand out and which organizations can be trusted. Brands need not only visibility into those answers, but clear, directional guidance on what to do to increase the frequency of brand mentions as well as control and effect the narrative that AI returns about their brands because those answers are now the first step in the buyer discovery journey.”

Brandi AI brings together measurement, competitive intelligence and optimization capabilities in a single enterprise platform. Key capabilities include:

AI visibility measurement that tracks how often brands are cited and how they are represented across leading AI platformsCompetitive intelligence through Brandi AI’s proprietary Competitive Market Universe™, revealing which competitors are surfacing, which narratives are resonating and where visibility gaps existSentiment Hub capabilities that show how AI-generated answers position a brand, which attributes shape those perceptions and which sources influence sentiment across prompts, competitors, personas, geographies and stages of the buyer journeyGenerative Engine Optimization (GEO) recommendations that help organizations strengthen existing websites, earned media and product content to improve citation likelihoodOptimization Hub capabilities that make enterprise content more discoverable and citable across multiple AI models, languages and geographies

Brandi AI is used by Fortune 500 companies, global agencies, and high-growth brands across industries to understand how AI-driven discovery is reshaping reputation, sentiment, demand generation, competitive positioning and category leadership.

Customers have reported measurable improvements in AI visibility. A public sector SaaS organization increased its AI visibility sevenfold in two months, while a public relations agency achieved the No. 1 AI visibility position within 60 days.

Earlier in 2026, Brandi AI received the 2026 Intellyx Digital Innovator Award and earned High Performer status in G2’s Summer 2026 Grid® Report for Answer Engine Optimization, with verified users giving the platform 100% ratings for competitive benchmarking and AI visibility reporting, plus top scores across mention tracking, ranking insights, content recommendations, sentiment monitoring, and semantic optimization. Brandi AI also won Gold in the inaugural Best Answer Engine Results in a PR Campaign category in the 2026 Bulldog PR Awards.

The Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence celebrate the accomplishments of individuals, teams and organizations shaping the future of technology across all industry sectors. More than 180 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s honorees.

“We congratulate all of the winners in the third annual Stevie® Awards for Technology Excellence for their outstanding achievements,” said Stevie Awards President Maggie Miller. “Their innovations are helping shape the future of technology across every industry, and we look forward to celebrating their success on October 28.”

AGEDB Announces Preliminary Technical Evaluation of Graph Database and AI Data Platform Opportunities

Published

on

By

VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 21, 2026 /CNW/ — AGEDB Technology Ltd. (TSXV: AGET) (“AGEDB” or the “Company”) announces that it is evaluating opportunities to re-engage in its historical graph database business area through preliminary architectural design and technical assessment of potential AI data platform applications, following its entry, on September 16, 2026, into a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) with a Korea-listed company exploring opportunities to enter the AI sector (the “Korean Company”).

The Company previously disclosed that it had discontinued its graph database management system operations during the year ended April 30, 2025 and was seeking new business opportunities. The Company is now assessing potential opportunities to leverage its existing Apache AGE-related technology and experience. These preliminary evaluations should not be interpreted as a resumption of full-scale development or commercial operations.

Under the MOU, AGEDB and the Korean Company contemplate evaluating an integrated package combining locally installed PostgreSQL and Apache AGE relationship-analysis database technology with an AI agent. The MOU also contemplates a separate “Personal AI Operating System” evaluation track, referred to as “AGE Brain,” for potential use in user-controlled computing environments. The proposed applications remain conceptual and subject to further technical and commercial assessment.

The contemplated preliminary work includes architectural design and technical evaluation of approaches to connecting relational data with graph-based relationships and supporting AI-assisted information retrieval and analysis. The parties may consider proof-of-concept testing and pilot activities, but no timeline or commitment to undertake such activities has been established under the MOU.

The MOU has a one-year term. Except for provisions expressly identified as binding, it is non-binding and does not require either party to complete development, launch or commercialize a product, make an investment, commit personnel, pay development fees, or enter into a definitive commercial agreement. Specific project scope, deliverables, schedules, responsibilities, costs and any commercialization terms remain subject to further discussions and, where applicable, separate written agreements. Each party will bear its own evaluation costs unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The Company’s evaluation remains preliminary. No product launch, commercial revenue or definitive commercialization arrangement has been agreed, and there can be no assurance that the parties will proceed with development, that the proposed platform will be completed or commercialized, or that the Company will obtain the resources required to advance the opportunity.

AGEDB may also explore potential collaborations with AI development companies in Korea and other markets, subject to available resources and further assessment.

“Jungsoo Kim”
CEO

Acquisition follows a successful partnership between the two companies and advances Bose’s evolution into a multi-brand products and technology company

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. and PARK CITY, Utah, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bose Corporation, a global leader in audio innovation and research, announced today it has acquired Skullcandy, a lifestyle audio brand known for its bold products that bring together sound, style and performance. Bose and Skullcandy have each spent decades finding new ways to bring people closer to the music they love. Together, they’ll combine Bose’s audio expertise, technology and global reach with Skullcandy’s design, understanding of its consumers and authentic community connections to create new products and experiences and accelerate growth.

The acquisition follows a multi-year partnership that has already brought Sound by Bose technology to Skullcandy earbuds and headphones. The companies have seen firsthand how their strengths can come together to create products consumers love while staying true to what makes Skullcandy special, providing a foundation to accelerate further collaboration and innovation.

With a strong position at the intersection of audio, lifestyle and culture, Skullcandy will remain a separate brand within Bose’s Premium Consumer Audio business. Skullcandy’s deep roots in boardsports, including longstanding relationships with passionate supporters of the culture and its athletes, and authentic connections across music, gaming, fitness and other communities present new ways for Bose to meaningfully connect with consumers where it has less presence today.

“For more than 60 years, Bose has been committed to delivering incredible audio experiences however and wherever people choose to listen. As we work to reach even more people, we’re expanding how we do that, not only through Bose products, but through technology partnerships and a growing portfolio of brands,” said Lila Snyder, Chief Executive Officer of Bose Corporation. “As a privately held company, we have the freedom to make bold, long-term investments in opportunities we believe in, and Skullcandy is a great example of that. They have an established, thriving brand, and together we see tremendous opportunity to create new products and experiences and reach more consumers around the world.”

“We believe this is a win for Skullcandy and our fans,” said Brian Garofalow, Chief Executive Officer of Skullcandy. “Skullcandy was born on a chairlift in Park City, Utah, over 20 years ago, and we’ve always believed great music should be part of the experiences people love. Joining Bose gives us the opportunity to make those experiences even better by bringing more of their audio expertise and technology to our products, and it opens up even more ways to take Skullcandy further.”

Bose plans to invest in Skullcandy’s continued growth, providing greater access to technology, resources, global distribution and commercial relationships while giving the brand the freedom to continue evolving in ways that are authentic to its identity and consumers. Skullcandy will continue to be based in Park City, Utah.

Bose acquired Skullcandy from a fund managed by Mill Road Capital Management LLC, a Connecticut-based private investment firm. Jones Day acted as Bose’s legal counsel. Additional information, including financial and other terms of the transaction, will remain confidential.
