The combination of category and supplier intelligence will equip businesses to build resilient supply chains, to manage sustainable success in an evolving market.

“Our clients tell us that our technology is unique; so, working with an established market leader like Beroe, with its 18 years of success in supporting procurement domain decision-making, will allow us to provide that capability at scale,” said Alex Miller, CEO and Co-founder of Forestreet. “With new challenges cropping up daily, it is important that CPOs can quickly react to changing dynamics. Partnering with Beroe, we can offer the widest possible customer segment the AI-driven tools they and their teams need to get a clear view of the whole market in one glance, making what can feel like an impossible task seem simple.”

Using the Beroe LiVE.Ai platform, companies can determine the impact of event-led disruptions on supply chains, along with multi-tier supplier mapping and associated risks in real-time as well as check financial, ethical, cyber, and environmental compliance credentials for over 300 million suppliers.

“The investment by Beroe in Forestreet creates an incredible opportunity, to eliminate uncertainty for procurement professionals globally,” said James Fox, Lead Investor on the Guinness Ventures’ Series A investment in Forestreet. “With the information and intelligence that Beroe and Forestreet can provide together, CPOs will gain unprecedented insights.”

The Crowd Favorite from CES is Now Ready to Bring Bar-Quality Cocktails to Homes Nationwide

NEW YORK, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Barsys, the leading app-driven automated cocktail brand, today announces that the Barsys Shaker Pro is now widely available for purchase on Barsys.com and TikTok Shop. After generating significant buzz at the January CES launch, cocktail enthusiasts everywhere can now get their hands on the smart, portable cocktail device that’s redefining how drinks are made at home.

Designed for modern drink lovers, the Shaker Pro is a smart, app-controlled device that guides users step-by-step through thousands of cocktail recipes, delivering bar-quality drinks from anywhere. Building on the beloved technology of the Barsys Coaster 2.0 — which reached #1 in its category on TikTok Shop during the last holiday season — the Shaker Pro takes that same hardware and adds full portability with a built-in rechargeable battery and USB-C charging.

Akshet Tewari, CEO and founder of Barsys, shares, “The Shaker Pro is everything our customers have been asking for — the same precision and quality they know from Barsys, in a device they can take anywhere. Over the past year we’ve seen tremendous growth, and launching the Shaker Pro feels like a natural next step in that journey. We’re continuing to push the boundaries of what home bartending can look like.”

Users select a drink in the Barsys app, and the device’s interactive lighting guides them through each pour — signaling exactly when to start and stop for perfectly balanced measurements. As ingredients are added, the Shaker Pro simultaneously mixes and aerates the drink, cutting down effort and delivering a consistently great result every time.

The Shaker Pro is an all-in-one device that measures, mixes, and guides every pour from a single sleek system. Fully rechargeable via USB-C, it untethers you from the kitchen counter so you can host anywhere. Color-coded lighting takes the guesswork out of every pour, signaling exactly when to start and stop for perfectly balanced results every time. Paired seamlessly with the Barsys app, it delivers a guided, low-effort experience — from timeless classics to creative craft cocktails — with smart recommendations built around your taste and what’s already in your bar.

The Barsys Shaker Pro is available now at Barsys.com and TikTok Shop at its pre-order price of $49.99 through May 8, before increasing to $79.99.

Coheso Announces AI Enhancements Across Slack, Teams, Outlook, and Gmail

Published

By

NEW YORK, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Coheso, the AI-native legal front door and work management platform for in-house legal and compliance teams, today announced a series of recent AI-native enhancements across its Slack, Teams, Outlook, and Gmail integrations. The updates make it easier for organizations to connect the channels employees use every day with structured legal intake and work management.

Many legal requests still begin informally in a quick chat or email to in-house counsel. That has long created a tradeoff between asking employees to leave their workflow to fill out a form and allowing requests to arrive unstructured for legal to sort out later. Coheso’s AI now interprets the content and context of the original message in Slack, Teams, Outlook, or Gmail, identifies the right intake workflow, and populates request forms automatically, reducing manual effort while preserving the structure legal needs. From there, Coheso keeps the related conversation synced with the request so that, while legal can triage through the Coheso platform, business can still work in chat and email.

In Slack and Teams, employees can also ask routine questions directly in the flow of work, and Coheso’s AI determines whether an interaction should be addressed through self-service or converted into formal legal work. The result is faster answers for the business and fewer routine interruptions for legal.

Coheso has also expanded its AI agent capabilities for legal and business teams. As part of automated workflows originating from Slack, Teams, Outlook, or Gmail, these agents can take on a wide range of tasks, from extracting key details to reviewing submissions against internal guidelines. When appropriate, agents can respond directly to business users within these same integrations, combining faster self-service with more intelligent escalation.

By capturing requests more consistently across the organization, regardless of where they originate, Coheso gives General Counsels and business leaders a more complete view of how work is flowing through the department, where demand is increasing, and the measurable impact legal is having across the business.

“Legal teams need structure around incoming work, but the business is going to keep working in email and chat,” said Chirag Mehta, Head of Product and Co-Founder of Coheso. “Our recent AI enhancements make those channels far more effective by helping Coheso understand intent, capture context, guide users into the right workflow, and reduce the manual effort required to get legal work into the system.”

Taken together, these enhancements reflect Coheso’s broader approach to legal operations: meeting the business where it already works while giving legal a centralized system for triage, ownership, and follow-through. The result is a better experience for employees and a stronger foundation for managing growing volumes of requests.

Demos are available upon request through https://www.coheso.ai/

Coheso is an AI-native legal front door and work management platform for in-house legal and compliance teams.
