OV Loop Launches Community Empowering Super-App Platform Ahead of Big Players

OV Loop

OV Loop announces the launch of its Community Empowering Super-App Platform at CES, the Consumer Electronics Show, January 5-8, 2023, in Las Vegas. The team will showcase its platform with omnichannel commerce tools for brands and a private wallet & messenger for people at booth #3561 LVCC West Hall, the OV Loop app is now in beta and available for download. Super-Apps have been in the press a lot recently, with Musk, Dorsey, Zuckerberg, and major tech players all wanting to own one. Two super-apps already dominate commerce in China with $70T+ in turnover, but not one has emerged in the U.S. despite 8 years of Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay. Why? OV Loop CEO Will Graylin, former Global Co-GM of Samsung Pay, explains, “A true U.S. super-app will emerge, it just won’t be from big players that exploit people’s data to disintermediate brands, nor from walled gardens that require people to change their phones, or merchants to change their POS to get their service. This Web2 DNA of Fragmentation, Exploitation, and Disintermediation (FED) is causing the very pain that super-apps are supposed to address. People are FED up with incessant spam, ads, identity theft, and poor customer experiences, while brands are struggling to find and keep customers with incompatible POS and rewards, and ineffective engagement tools. Becoming a U.S. super-app will require a very different Web3 DNA of Universality, Privacy, and Community to bring people and brands closer together.” OV Loop was designed from scratch to be a community empowering super-app, with the Universality of omnichannel engagement and loyalty via private wallets and messengers that work across people’s existing devices and merchants’ existing POS virtually everywhere. OV provides next-gen Privacy by giving people full control and self-custody of their keys and data. OV’s mission is to rebuild Communities by facilitating more direct, more frictionless, and more rewarding relationships between brands and people. OV founders are Mobile Wallet and POS pioneers. They invented a mobile wallet that became Samsung Pay to compete with Apple Pay, and launched a mobile POS company (Roam Data acquired by Ingenico) that became the largest supplier of mPOS for Merchant Service Providers (MSP) competing against Square. Now OV founders have launched a super-app platform, with patented omnichannel rewards and engagement tools for brands that work directly with customers’ private universal wallet & messenger, across devices and channels, all without costly POS changes. “People want convenient personalized services without sacrificing privacy. Brands want more sales and loyal relationships without costly POS changes or complex integrations.” Graylin added, “That’s what we’re building, and I’m so excited about the roadmap we have ahead to incorporate value from banks, insurance companies, transportation companies, and more. I know we’re a small acorn today, but we have the right DNA to become a large Sequoia tree when we deliver the right value for people and brands and the partners that serve them. Our goal is to build a better, more trusted commerce community, centered on LOVE, because the spirit of love is at the heart of all good relationships. ‘O’ and ‘V’ are the two letters at the center of LOVE. I’m hopeful people reading this will join OV Loop, to help make our future better together.” OV Loop is actively partnering with MSPs and ISVs that need a super-app platform to serve their merchants and fend off big tech competitors, and OV is partnering with banks that want a direct relationship with customers without being disintermediated by big wallet providers. Those interested can contact OV through its website or directly contact: Margaret Bouse, mbouse@ovloop.com About OV Loop and its CEO, Will Graylin: OV Loop provides a Community Empowering Super-App Platform to facilitate more seamless and trusted commerce relationships between brands and people. Brands can deliver Omnichannel Engagement and Loyalty experiences via people’s Private Universal Wallet & Messenger. Among its portfolio of patents, OV Loop owns the powerful HCE patents, now standard for tokenized NFC payments, allowing OV to uniquely enable its merchants to deliver 1-tap-pay rewards on their existing POS without change. Now, brands and merchants can rebuild customer relationships with the right tools and people can retake control of their identity and privacy. OV Loop’s patented super-app platform delivers more privacy, convenience, and savings for people, and more sales, loyalty, and profit for brands.

Variational AI Files Two US Provisional Patents for Potential COVID-19 Drug Created by Generative AI

Variational AI

Variational AI, developer of the Enki™ generative artificial intelligence (AI) drug discovery platform to redefine the economics of drug development, today announced that the company has filed two provisional patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) related to new chemical entities (NCE) successfully created using generative AI. Variational AI’s protease inhibitors are among the first NCEs created via a purely generative model and will be useful in the development of COVID-19 drugs as part of the company’s coronavirus antiviral program. Of even greater significance, this method underscores the potential of generative AI to create novel, efficacious, safe, and synthesizable molecules. “The filing of these patents is a concrete milestone not just for Variational AI, but for the applicability of generative AI to the domain of drug discovery,” said Handol Kim, co-founder and CEO, Variational AI. “Whereas adoption of AI for drug discovery is accelerating, until now it has been based on older discriminative models. Though powerful, these models are essentially just performing faster and better virtual screening of known or existing molecules. Enki™ does not screen, but rather truly creates new molecules, similar to how other generative AI models like DALL-E and ChatGPT create novel images and text based on prompts. In our case, we use the language of chemistry as prompts to describe the molecules we want.” While generative AI has recently been applied at scale to the creation of novel images, text, music, video, and software code, the successful application of generative AI to drug discovery is still nascent but potentially transformative. Variational AI’s platform created two novel lead candidates that each bind differently and distinctly to the SARS-CoV-2 main protease, the most promising therapeutic target implicated with COVID-19 across variants and potentially other coronaviruses. The platform is based on a generative model framework known as a variational autoencoder (VAE) and created these lead candidates after being trained on large sets of public and proprietary data including older SARS-CoV (SARS) main protease data. The candidates demonstrated potency, selectivity, and novel binding modes on the SARS-CoV-2 main protease that show potentially better safety profiles compared to the existing standard of care. Variational AI is now focused on training Enki™ for multiple drug targets in oncology and making rapid progress in this disease area, leveraging learnings from its success in antivirals, as well as other disease areas. “Our team of machine learning researchers has been developing and applying generative models for years, long before the recent interest,” said Jason Rolfe, co-founder and CTO, Variational AI. “Drug discovery is a massively difficult undertaking, yet we continue to make rapid progress working hand-in-hand with our drug discovery team as we move to addressing unmet medical needs in oncology and beyond.” Funding for this work was supported in part by Canada’s Digital Technology Supercluster in collaboration with adMare BioInnovations and the University of British Columbia. About Variational AI Variational AI uses generative AI to create novel and diverse compounds that are optimized for multiple properties to avoid the most common causes of drug attrition and increase clinical probability of success. Variational AI works with leading biopharmaceutical partners and is developing its own internal pipeline. To learn more, visit https://variational.ai.

How Successful Collaborations Propelled Samsara Luggage Into The Spotlight

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga The travel industry is still working on rebounding after travel restrictions, airline layoffs, and overall hesitancy to travel became the norm during the pandemic. As travel resumed in the past year, travelers experienced over a million lost bags in the U.S. between January and June. The percentage of lost bags, when compared to 2019, is 30% more. It's clear that consumers are eager to explore again but there is a growing concern among flyers who want to ensure their luggage is safe. Samsara Luggage Inc pioneered a solution to a problem plaguing travelers globally. Awarded a special mention in TIME’s Best Inventions of 2022 by TIME, Samsara Luggage has designed a line of suitcases with a removable Apple AirTag embedded. The suitcase can be tracked by the Find My app on the iPhone. If a bag gets lost or stolen, Samsara’s technology allows customers to always find their bag. The company almost immediately started gaining the attention of huge brand names like T-Mobile, which saw the value of Samsara’s winning idea and wanted to collaborate on co-branded products. Learn more here: Samsara Luggage Is Grabbing The Attention Of Established Giants, Prompting Fun And Unique Partnerships T-Mobile collaborated with Samsara Luggage to create a sleek, magenta suitcase called the Un-carrier On.

Perfect for working on the go, the luggage has a flat-top work surface that can double as a leg or footrest. And of course, the Un-carrier On includes Samsara’s AirTag solution so you never lose your luggage again. The unique partnership was a successful endeavor of two companies working together for the shared goal of improving the travel experience through innovation, connectivity, and convenience. Prior to the Un-Carrier launch, Samsara Luggage made its debut in select Tommy Bahama retail stores around the country. Tommy Bahama is at the forefront of the travel industry with year-round resort wear and travel accessories.

Volatus Aerospace’s iRed Wins Fugitive Gas Detection Contract in UK

Volatus Aerospace Corp.

Volatus Aerospace Corp. (TSXV: VOL) (OTCQB: VLTTF) ("Volatus" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that its UK subsidiary, iRed Ltd, has signed a contract for monthly recurring inspections to detect fugitive methane leaks at 14 water treatment facilities across the northwest of the United Kingdom. According to “Faster and Further: Canada’s Methane Strategy,” Sept. 2022, Methane is a potent greenhouse gas with 25 times more global warming potential than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period. Fugitive methane emissions occurring due to leaks, loose valves, or venting of methane gas results in the loss of valuable energy, increased costs, and damage to the environment. Optical gas imaging (OGI) visualizes a narrow band of the infrared spectrum allow the identification of methane and other hydrocarbon gases which may otherwise be invisible to the naked eye. Under the terms of the 12-month contract, iRed® will conduct remote analysis of infrastructure at water treatment facilities across the northwest UK using Optical Gas imaging cameras. “This is a very strategic win,” said Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus. “In Canada, gas leak detection for the oil and gas industry is already a major line of business for our Synergy Aviation subsidiary. The added capability of Optical Gas Imaging is expected to open new doors with our existing oil and gas customers as well as create new opportunities in the North American waste management sector. In parallel, iRed® can leverage the strength of our Oil and Gas expertise to generate new opportunities in that sector in the UK.” Ray Faulkner, President of iRed® added, “The production of methane is a natural part of the waste treatment process. Methane gas is captured and used for bio-energy production and carbon capture. iRed is a specialist in fugitive gas detection, mitigation, and inspection. But capturing that data is only half the story, we turn data into actionable reports for stakeholders such the Environment Agency to whom the operators are responsible. The potential for us is significant.” According to Deloitte, for the UK to progress towards net zero by 2050 they need to dramatically increase use of renewable and other low carbon energy sources. Incinerating waste, including biomass, is considered renewable energy that reduces overall emissions compared to letting the waste go into a landfill. Energy generation falls when the wind stops blowing and the sun goes down, but Biomass incineration can provide renewable baseload power. Research undertaken by The University of Manchester suggests that the UK “has the potential to generate up to 44% of its energy from biomass sources, including household waste, agricultural residues, and home-grown biofuels by 2050.” About Volatus Aerospace: Volatus Aerospace Corp. is a leading provider of integrated drone solutions throughout North America and growing into Latin America and globally. Volatus serves civil, public safety, and defense markets with imaging and inspection, security and surveillance, equipment sales and support, training, as well as R&D, design, and manufacturing. Through our subsidiary, Volatus Aviation, we are introducing green and innovative drone solutions to supplement and replace traditional aircraft and helicopters for long-linear inspections such as pipeline, energy, rail, and cargo services. Volatus is committed to carbon neutrality; the fostering of a safe, equitable and inclusive workplace; and responsible governance.

Programming, Writing and Research skills dominate the freelance job market

FREELANCER.COM

Freelancer.com (ASX: FLN) (OTCQX: FLNCF), the world’s largest freelancing and crowdsourcing marketplace by number of users and jobs posted, today released its quarterly Fast 50 Index for Q4 2022. The index, which is based on data from 372,000 jobs posted on Freelancer.com between October 1 to December 31st 2022, ranks programming, report writing, and research related jobs among the fastest growing skills on the platform. At the end of the year, many businesses and companies often rely on freelancers to assist with high volume tasks. According to the Q4 data, the leading tasks for the end of 2022 were Report Writing, Research and Technical Writing. These job types were trending as employers were hiring freelancers to support them with compiling 2022 retrospective reports, creating strategic plans for 2023, and writing business reports. Research jobs also spiked as many entrepreneurs aim to start businesses in the new year, increasing the number of market research and business plan projects posted to the platform. Report Writing (up 59.5%, from 3,374 to 5,384) takes the number one spot in the index when ranking the percentage growth of more than 2,000 skills available on Freelancer.com. Coming in a close second is the skill Matlab and Mathematica (up 56.4%, from 1,250 to 1,955), which are separate programming languages used by engineers and scientists to analyze data. Research jobs and Research Writing rank as the third and fifth fastest growing skills, up by 36.3% (from 3,905 to 5,325) and 32.1% (from 7,527 to 9,944), respectively. Top 5 Fast Growing Skills for Q4 2022: Report Writing - up 59.5% Matlab and Mathematica - up 56.4% Research - up 36.3% Web Scraping - up 32.6% Research Writing - up 32.1% A sudden increase in projects for tech and IT related skills on Freelancer is a continuation of the trends observed in Freelancer’s Fast 50 for Q2 2022 and Fast 50 for Q3 2022 - where freelance jobs for software, app and website developers surged as a result of global tech layoffs. In Q4 2022, the data reveals the new trend is employers hiring for programming jobs, as skills specific to programming dominated the rankings. Web Scraping, often used for lead generation and price monitoring, came in as the fourth fastest growing skill, increasing by 32.6% (from 3,891 to 5,162). C Programming and C++ Programming, general-purpose programming and coding languages used to develop systems and applications, increased by 28.9% (from 4,974 to 6,415) and 23.7% (from 4,775 to 5,907), respectively. Jobs requiring skills in Python, a high-level, general-purpose programming language, also grew by 20.7% (from 10,712 to 12,931). Adding to the growth of engineering-related programming Matlab and Mathematica, projects seeking skills in Engineering also increased in Q4 2022 with Electrical Engineering jobs growing by 25.6% (from 2,305 to 2,897) and Mechanical Engineering jobs increasing by 17.3% (from 1,544 to 1,812). “The latest index truly demonstrates the breadth of skills and jobs available on our platform. We have employers turning to freelancers for content jobs, such as writing and research projects, all the way to highly complex jobs like mathematics, programming and engineering. The trend that we continue to see is the surge in tech-related projects as a result of global tech layoffs,” said Matt Barrie, Chief Executive at Freelancer.com. While programming specific skills grew in Q4, other tech-related skills ranked as some of the fastest falling jobs of the quarter. CSS3, an advanced language used to style web pages, ranked as the fastest falling skill and was down by 67.8% (from 1,227 to 395) in Q4 2022. A similar skill for web page development called AJAX also decreased by 51.8% this quarter (from 1,763 to 849) after ranking as the second fastest growing skill in Q3 2022. As both of these website development skills decreased, jobs relating to WordPress and general-purpose scripting language used in web development called PHP increased significantly. Projects for WordPress increased by 12.8% (from 17,275 to 19,499), while projects for PHP increased by 8.1% (from 44,333 to 47,937). PHP also ranks as the second most in-demand skill on Freelancer.com in Q4 2022. Top 5 Fast Falling Skills for Q4 2022: CSS3 - down 67.8% Angular - down 58.3% API Integration - down 55.3% Data Extraction - down 53.2% Blog Writing - down 53% Fast 50 Q4 2022 Trends & Analysis Demand shifts from niche IT skills in Q3 to Programming in Q4 While technical skills have always been sought out on the Freelancer platform, global layoffs are causing increases in niche tech skills and unprecedented fluctuations in demand. In the previous quarter, Freelancer uncovered the trend of employers turning to the platform to hire highly skilled IT and tech specialists to support following mass tech layoffs. Tech-related skills made up 40% of the in Q3 2022, with Android App Development, AJAX and API ranking as the three fastest growing skills. A similar trend was also observed in Freelancer’s Fast 50 for Q2 2022 as Software Development ranked as the quarter’s fastest growing skill, up 47% compared to the previous quarter. This quarter, the demand for tech skills continues with employers hiring Programming related skills. Matlab and Mathematica, Web Scraping, C Programming and Python experienced the highest percentage growth for programming skills in this quarter’s index. Other increases include C# Programming up by 11.2% (from 5,986 to 6,657), JavaScript up by 9% (from 17,439 to 19,010) and PHP up by 8.1% (from 44,333 to 47,937). On the other hand, application development saw a decrease in demand in Q4 2022. Jobs requiring skills in Angular, a platform for building mobile and web applications, decreased by 58.3% (from 1,459 to 608). Projects seeking App Developers dropped by 52.2% (from 1,196 to 571), while projects for Android App Development fell by 49.4% (from 1,948 to 984). “Mass layoffs in tech are causing ripple effects as companies scramble to plug skills gaps within their organisations. We’re observing this in waves. As the tech giants lay off staff, we’re seeing employers lean on freelancers for support with tech-related skills. Last quarter, web and app development was in-demand, but this demand has now shifted to programming with increases across the board for many programming language jobs. In 2023, we can expect to see more demand for tech related skills on Freelancer as layoffs continue and employers look to hire on-demand freelancers,” said Barrie. Generative AI leads to spike in Machine Learning Jobs The second half of 2022 saw significant leaps in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Public access to powerful generative AI tools - such as Stable Diffusion, Dall-E, OpenAI’s GPT-3 and ChatGPT - which are now changing the way designers design and writers write. This is now bleeding into other business areas. Since the release of Chat GPT on November 30th 2022, there have been 26 jobs posted on Freelancer in December that aim to harness the power of generative AI. Many of these projects are seeking AI and Machine Learning experts to help create chatbots, assemble GPT-3 and Stable Diffusion workflows when transcribing video, and integrating Chat GPT-3 to websites. As a reaction to these new technologies, there has been an increase in Machine Learning jobs in Q4 - up by 26.6% (from 2,215 to 2,809). Projects for Machine Learning, AI and Deep Learning are only expected to increase as more businesses become aware of these tools and their potential to integrate them across their business. “There has been an absolutely transformational step that has happened in the last few months with Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning. Any creative task man can do, AI can or will be able to do better. Leaps in AI will affect every facet of business. Not just in years, but potentially within months. Companies, businesses and startups are taking notice and exploring ways of harnessing these new tools,” said Barrie. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) jobs continue surge, Search Engine Marketing (SEM) bounce back from Q3 slump The first expense most companies cut in a downturn is paid advertising. In Q3, Freelancer observed a shift in advertising behavior as employers turned away from paid advertising or SEM projects and began hiring freelancers for more traditional marketing or SEO projects. In this quarter, we’re seeing these companies turn back to SEM and Google Adwords, as well as continue their efforts to improve their SEO. Jobs for Google Adwords increased by 21.4% (from 2,221 to 2,697), while Web Search jobs grew by 15.8% (from 4,111 to 4,763) and SEM-related projects increased by 12.9% (from 1,597 to 1,804). For freelancers, projects relating to SEM are some of the highest paying job types on the platform. On average, Search Engine Marketing jobs pay US$2,231 per project. SEO jobs also pay relatively high on the platform with an average of US$1,704 per project. The areas that did see a noticeable decrease in jobs posted in Q4 2022 compared to Q3 were Creative Design (down by 48.2%, from 1,309 to 677), Content Creation (down by 41.9%, from 1,181 to 686) and Advertisement Design (down by 38.6%, from 1,754 to 1,077). 2022 Fast 50 Reports track major crash in Bitcoin, NFT and Ethereum Each quarterly edition of the Fast 50 Index for 2022 has tracked the rapid rise and fall of freelance crypto and NFT related jobs. At the beginning of the year, the Q1 2022 saw projects for NFTs and NFT-related skills, such as Caricature & Cartoon Design, rank as the fastest growing skills on the platform growing by 30% compared to the previous quarter. During this same period, jobs for Bitcoin were down heavily by 31.1% and jobs for Ethereum began to fall by 23.9%. Q2 2022 saw projects for NFTs shift from the fastest growing jobs on the platform to the fastest falling, with a percentage decrease of 48.9% compared to the previous quarter. Jobs for Bitcoin also fell by 48%, while Ethereum and Blockchain projects fell by 33.9% and 32.9% respectively. Smart Contracts, NFT and Ethereum were amongst the fastest falling in Q3 2022, with most project numbers being cut in half during the quarter. Solidity, high-level language for implementing smart contracts, and Smart Contracts were the top fastest fallers, decreasing by 56.8% and 49.6% respectively. A comparison between Q4 2021 and Q4 2022 demonstrates how quickly these jobs have fallen in popularity from their dominance a year ago. NFTs, down by 75.4% (from 2,045 to 503), and Bitcoin, also down by 74.9% (from 1,518 to 381), took out the top spot for fastest falling project category year-on-year. These were followed by Ethereum, down 73.8% (from 2,340 to 613) and Solidity, down by 69.1% (from 1,988 to 614). ##### Freelancer Fast 50 The Freelancer Fast 50 index is the world’s largest forward indicator of trends in online jobs related to industries, technologies, products, and companies.
