Setting new benchmarks for AI-powered innovations, the K-Digital Brand Award highlights EZVIZ as a driving force that helps shape new development in the industry through its local-first AI approach. While the Singapore Good Design Award reinforces the company’s unwavering commitment to product innovation that expands smart protection to broader scenarios.

“Luckily, we built a strong connection with Asian families once entering the market and have kept winning their hearts with our tailored products and advanced AIoT technology,” said Sophie Zhang, Brand Director of EZVIZ. “Prioritizing users when pushing technology beyond its limits, we turn every product upgrade and AI breakthrough into tangible benefits.”

Over the past decade, EZVIZ has stayed on top of the Asian market through in-depth localization and has harvested numerous locally recognized design awards, including the Asia Design Prize 2025.

Phase 1 goes live, enabling participating RoamQR™-enabled wallets of users in Asia to make seamless QR payments across Brazil via the Pix networkPhase 2 expansion will enable Pix users from Brazil to make seamless QR payments when travelling to Singapore and other participating markets connected through the RoamQR™ network

SINGAPORE and SÃO PAULO, Aug. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Liquid Group and PagBrasil today announced the successful launch of Phase 1 of their cross-border QR payment collaboration, enabling participating banking apps and digital wallets connected to Liquid Group’s RoamQR™ network to make seamless QR payments at participating merchants across Brazil through the Pix network, one of the world’s most widely adopted real-time payment ecosystems.  

Of significance, the launch represents RoamQR™’s first operational payment corridor into Latin America, extending the network beyond Asia, and reinforcing Liquid Group’s vision of connecting trusted domestic payment ecosystems globally.

Following the Memorandum of Understanding signed at the Singapore FinTech Festival at end-2025, Liquid Group and PagBrasil subsequently entered into a definitive commercial agreement and successfully completed technical integration, certification and operational readiness, bringing the partnership from strategic collaboration to live commercial service.

Users of participating RoamQR™-enabled banking apps and digital wallets can now simply scan standard Pix QR codes at participating merchants across Brazil – using the payment applications they already use at home – without downloading another application or changing the way they pay.

Jeremy Tan, Chief Executive Officer, Liquid Group, commented: “Today’s launch marks an important milestone in RoamQR™’s global expansion, bringing our first live interoperability connection into Latin America. By connecting the RoamQR™ network with Brazil’s Pix ecosystem, we are extending seamless cross-border payment acceptance into one of the world’s largest QR payment markets, while allowing consumers and merchants to continue using the payment experiences they already know and trust. As more domestic payment systems join the RoamQR™ network, we move closer to our vision of enabling travellers to ‘Scan Local. Pay Global.’ wherever they go.”

The launch also supports growing travel, tourism and commercial exchanges between Asia and Latin America by enabling travellers to pay overseas using familiar payment applications while providing merchants with access to an expanding base of international visitors. Brazilian merchants continue to display their existing Pix QR codes while gaining access to eligible international visitors from the expanding RoamQR™ network, without requiring additional hardware, software or system integrations.

As one of the world’s largest and most widely adopted real-time payment ecosystems, Pix has transformed the way consumers and merchants transact across Brazil. This activation connects participating financial institutions and payment providers on the RoamQR™ network to their trusted domestic payment infrastructure, demonstrating how national payment systems can be interconnected internationally while retaining the familiar payment experiences consumers and merchants already use today.

Phase 2 of Liquid Group and PagBrasil’s collaboration

As additional payment networks join RoamQR™, each new connection expands cross-border payment acceptance across Asia, Latin America and beyond, bringing the industry closer to a truly interoperable global QR payment network. Participating members also gain access to an expanding ecosystem of international payment acceptance through a single connectivity framework, reducing the need for multiple bilateral integrations.

In establishing a fully interoperable two-way payment corridor, Phase 2 of the collaboration will enable Pix users from Brazil to make seamless QR payments when travelling to Singapore and other participating markets connected through the expanding RoamQR™ network, subject to implementation readiness and relevant regulatory approvals.

Together, Liquid Group and PagBrasil are helping shape the next generation of real-time cross-border payments by connecting trusted domestic payment ecosystems across continents, bringing consumers closer to a future whereby paying overseas is as simple and familiar as paying at home.

Ralf Germer, CEO, PagBrasil, said: “One of the most compelling aspects of real-time payments is that they create value for everyone involved. Travelers can pay abroad using the banking app or digital wallet they already know and trust, with the purchase amount displayed in their home currency before they confirm the transaction. At the same time, merchants can welcome international customers using the same Pix QR Codes they already accept every day, without making any changes to their existing payment infrastructure. Connecting Pix to the RoamQR™ network brings these two worlds together. By linking trusted domestic payment ecosystems, we are making cross-border payments as seamless and intuitive as domestic ones, while strengthening tourism, commerce, and economic connections across regions.”

Agent-driven Canvas, field-tested Skills and Seedance 2.5 bring flexible production to sellers, creators and teams

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LibAI Lab today announced the launch of NewFace.AI, an AI image and video creation platform built for e-commerce sellers, agencies and UGC creators. LibAI Lab’s AI image editing and video generation platform has appeared in every edition of Andreessen Horowitz’s Top 100 Gen AI Consumer Apps ranking, from September 2023 through March 2026. NewFace.AI marks its expansion into e-commerce and UGC.

At the center of NewFace is an Agent and Canvas workflow. Creators describe a vision in plain language, and the Skill-powered Agent builds the project node by node on one canvas, retaining the brief, references and prior decisions. Users can approve each change, let the Agent run on its own, or take over any node.

NewFace’s field-tested Skills apply creative structures drawn from high-performing apparel, skincare and product-showcase content. Viral Remake adapts the storyboard structure, pacing and hook of a strong reference around the user’s product; Batch Product Video generates up to 10 short, platform-ready videos for testing creative angles at once.

Fast-track tools including the AI Image Generator, AI Video Generator, Video to Audio and PDP Design handle single-purpose generations on their own. Both routes run on leading industry models, including the newly available Seedance 2.5, which extends single takes to 30 seconds with stronger editing control.

“Creative teams need more than access to powerful models — they need a system that understands intent without taking away control,” said Jefferey T., co-founder of LibAI Lab. “We’ve built applied AI products across very different creative industries, and NewFace puts that work behind the volume these teams ship weekly.”

For agencies and in-house teams producing at volume, the Team Plan adds collaborative creation, centralized credit allocation and larger credit packages, so output scales with the team.

NewFace is more than a front-end canvas. Its CLI turns the platform into a callable step inside the agent stacks technical teams already run: Cursor, Codex, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. Pro and Max users install the NewFace Skill, create an API key that configures automatically, and let their own agent hand off generations and pass results downstream.

New users signing up this month can claim up to 160 free credits — enough for a complete 16-second cinematic project with Seedance 2.0. Seedance 2.0 Mini is 60% off and Seedance 2.0 Fast is 25% off for a limited time.
