Royex Technologies: AI spiraling business growth
'From real-time decision-making to predictive analytics, AI empowers companies to move faster, operate smarter, and serve customers more efficiently,' said Roy, author of four AI and technology focused books.
Reactive management to proactive strategy
'It's transforming manual tasks into intelligent workflows, enabling businesses to scale without proportional increases in cost or workforce. More importantly, it's helping leaders shift from reactive management to proactive strategy, based on data-driven insights. The real transformation lies in how AI allows companies to focus more on innovation and customer experience—two key drivers of long-term success,' explained Roy.
Significant drop in operational cost of business
Sharing an example of how AI transformation is scaling business operations, Roy said one of Royex Technologies' product EYAANA – an AI-first communication platform has made a positive impact on multiple industries. In particular, it has made massive strides with a real estate company where EYAANA has automated over 80% of lead interactions for the business across phone, WhatsApp, and web chat.
'This has resulted in a massive response time drop from hours to seconds. Beside, conversion rates improved by 27%, and the sales team could focus on closing deals rather than chasing leads. All this has led to a significant reduction in operational costs, for the real estate company as AI has replaced two full-time resources.'
Maximising human resources
In the hospitality sector, Royex Technologies partnered with a hotel group that previously had a team of 16 people managing customer support across WhatsApp, web chat, and social media. After integrating EYAANA's AI agents across all platforms, they were able to reallocate 12 staff members to other departments, retaining just two people for overseeing customer service operations.
What previously required 16 human agents is now managed with an AI-augmented team of two people resulting in a cost saving of nearly 75% in that department, while maintaining 24/7 responsiveness and improved customer satisfaction. Beside the reallocation of the staff to other departments also meant their productivity was put to full use elsewhere.
Giving clarity to businesses to move faster
Strategically, AI creates value in multiple areas. It helps businesses better understand customer behavior and forecast future trends, enabling more personalized and targeted offerings. Roy said: 'Pricing and marketing strategies can be optimized using real-time data, while AI-powered tools support improved risk management and fraud detection. In supply chain operations, AI enhances planning, demand forecasting, and logistics efficiency.
Additionally, by automating repetitive tasks and augmenting human capabilities, AI significantly improves employee productivity. In essence, AI acts as a decision-making accelerator, giving businesses the clarity and confidence to move faster and adapt smarter in a competitive environment.'

Coal-powered AI robots are a dirty fantasy
Liam Denning, Tribune News Service The same day President Donald Trump launched his AI Action Plan, his Energy Secretary Chris Wright pulled federal support for a power project with ties to renewable energy that could help that plan. Not coincidentally, Trump instructed Wright at his AI summit that he must say 'clean, beautiful' before any mention of the word 'coal' and that the US must compete with China's construction of new coal-fired plants. Possibly the only thing more bizarre than Trump's enforced catch-phrasing is his vision of 21st century robots running on a power technology that hasn't been cutting-edge since the days of Thomas Edison. Coal has long been a political prop for Trump, but this has taken on greater significance in his second term, with a naked assault on both the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions and zero-carbon technologies (nuclear power excepted). When coal isn't being touted as beautiful or clean, it is pitched as reliable and cheap, and due for a comeback if freed from overbearing rules. This is a fantasy, and a bleak one at that, not just for the climate but also that AI plan. You don't need a conspiracy theory to explain coal's decline in the US. It lost 31 percentage points of market share in US power generation between 2005 and 2024, and natural gas picked up four-fifths of that. Why? Gas got cheaper. Five times the cost of coal in 2005, on an energy-equivalent basis, that gap was all but erased by booming shale supply (which Trump also backs). Meanwhile, the cost of building new coal plants, already a multiple of that for gas, went up even as it went down for gas (and renewables). Coal's decline was well established by 2015, when former President Barack Obama unveiled his Clean Power Plan — which was never implemented anyway. The problem is straightforward: Coal-power is an old technology outmatched by newer ones. The average coal-plant running today began operating when Jimmy Carter was president. The youngest, Sandy Creek in Texas, came online in 2014. By 2020, its owners were reportedly in debt restructuring talks and the following year the plant tripped offline in Texas' winter blackouts. Utilisation, or the proportion of the year it actually runs, has slumped. The cheapest existing coal plants remain competitive, according to Lazard Inc.'s latest analysis of levelised costs. Yet they are hardly a slam-dunk compared with gas or unsubsidized wind and solar. The latter are intermittent, of course, and securing firm power to back them up, such as contracting with a gas peaker-plant or battery, boosts their cost considerably. Even then, new coal is in a similar cost range — and that is only with the implicit subsidy of spewing unpriced carbon. This shows why rising forecasts of power demand, stoking fears of dark datacenters or blackouts, offer a lifeline to some existing coal plants that would otherwise retire. But this won't catalyze new ones, even when you consider the suddenly rising cost of new gas plants. Utility NextEra Energy Inc. recently cited a levelised cost for new gas-power of $90-$115 per megawatt-hour. That would put it closer to new coal, but there are reasons why there's a backlog for turbines, not for boilers. Gas plants are more efficient than coal, especially in ramping up and down to match shifting demand and output from renewables, and also emit about half as much carbon. The whiplash of US energy policy over the past decade demonstrates why a developer must think in terms of not the next three years but the next 30. Similarly, AI hyperscalers are prioritising sheer speed over net-zero now, but tethering their reputations to coal over the long term would be inadvisable. This is why, for all of coal's vaunted qualities, the Trump administration still tries to tilt the field so heavily toward it and away from renewable competitors. Wright has made extensive use of federal powers to keep coal plants running that might otherwise close or run minimally; roughly a fifth of all such emergency orders since 2000 have been issued this year. Similarly, Wright's decision to pull an agreed $4.9 billion federal loan-guarantee for the 800-mile Grain Belt Express transmission line reeks of politics, rather than the economic analysis his department claims. The project, bringing wind and solar power from the Great Plains to states further east, had secured approval from four states, partly due to expected cost savings, as well as court victories over opponents.

Matter of Fact: Pushing past the transaction
Marketing in its current state is becoming formulaic, with companies emphasising seamless communication while their messaging focuses more on transactions and consumption rather than connection, especially in digital and social media. However, Gen Z, being the elusive and sceptical audience, sees through this. They want brands to offer identity and experiences, and more notably, connections. Vans' recent 'Always Pushing' campaign demonstrates effective and targeted branding. By embracing the lifestyle the brand embodies, Vans organised music and skateboarding pop-ups at key locations, leaving a lasting impression. The success led Vans to transform some retail spaces into permanent skateparks, turning stores from transactional environments into community hubs that reflect their audience's passions. The path is clear: to engage modern audiences, brands must move beyond sales-focused communication. Storytelling should centre on how the brand experience enriches lives. Successful communication aligns with preferences for value-driven, discovery-led interactions, not just promoting products. Connection, not consumption, is what leaves a lasting impression. GAME CHANGER Meta opens the message At its recent Conversations conference, Meta introduced new AI-driven features designed for businesses to enhance direct consumer marketing. The updates include expanded WhatsApp and Instagram integrations, along with collaborations with platforms such as Shopify and WooCommerce. These changes aim to help brands connect with broader audiences more easily, blending e-commerce with real-time interaction for greater engagement. BREAKING THE NET Racing into the blockbuster lane Apple's in-house film F1: The Movie starring Brad Pitt, has seen the tech giant promote the feature film by tapping into its ecosystem. The tech giant used Wallet push notifications, Apple Pay ticket discounts, and even got co-star Damson Idris to drive an F1 car from the film through Manhattan for the 2025 Met Gala, gaining additional viral mainstream attention from the stunt. #NOT MrBeast hits pause on AI YouTube's most-subscribed creator, Jimmy 'MrBeast' Donaldson, delayed the launch of his ViewStats AI tool suite following backlash from fellow creators. Critics argued that the tools, designed to generate thumbnails and captions from other creators' content, could harm YouTube's creator ecosystem. Donaldson acknowledged the concerns, withdrew the announcement, and promised to refocus ViewStats on supporting emerging creators.

Google agrees to curb power use for AI data centers to ease strain on US grid when demand surges
Google has signed agreements with two U.S. electric utilities to reduce its AI data center power consumption during times of surging demand on the grid, the company said on Monday, as energy-intensive AI use outpaces power supplies. Utilities in the country have been inundated with requests for electricity for Big Tech's AI data centers, with demand eclipsing total available power supplies in some areas. That power crunch has led to concerns about spiking bills for everyday homes and business and blackouts. It has also complicated the technology industry's expansion of AI, which requires massive amounts of electricity - fast. Google's agreements with Indiana Michigan Power and Tennessee Power Authority would involve scaling back power use at the technology giant's data centers when called upon by the electric utilities to free up space on the grid. They are the first formal agreements by Google in demand-response programs with utilities to temporarily curtail its machine learning workloads, a subset of artificial intelligence. "It allows large electricity loads like data centers to be interconnected more quickly, helps reduce the need to build new transmission and power plants, and helps grid operators more effectively and efficiently manage power grids," Google said in a blog post. Demand-response programs have typically been used by other energy-intensive industries like heavy manufacturing or cryptocurrency mining. In exchange, the businesses generally receive payments or reduced power bills. The programs involving AI activity in data centers is generally new, and details of the commercial arrangements between Google and the utilities were not clear. While demand-response agreements apply only to a small portion of demand on the grid, the arrangements might become more common as U.S. electricity supply tightens.
