name.com Modernizes Domains for the Age of Agentic AI with First AI-Native Registrar Platform
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- a leading domain registrar with best-in-class tools that make launching and growing a business online easy, today announced the launch of API, an AI-native domain platform that transforms how companies build custom domain search, registration and management into their services and applications. With support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) and OpenAPI specification, domains are modernized for the age of agentic AI, enabling AI agents to interact directly with the API. Digital agents will soon be browsing, building and transacting for us, changing how we create, code, and communicate. This opens the door to a new class of entrepreneurs: aesthetic coders, vibe builders, and solo entrepreneurs who prioritize fluid, intuitive, and highly personalized digital experiences. A recent customer survey found that 91% of respondents envision AI agents handling at least some of their domain management in the next two years, ranging from assistance with routine tasks to full automation of critical domain workflows. Additionally, 88% say they would find it valuable to use natural language commands for domain tasks, signaling strong interest in AI-powered automation. Many traditional domain systems are outdated and struggle to support AI-driven workflows, burdening users with inefficient, manual processes and fragmented solutions. addresses these challenges as the first retail registrar to deliver a domain platform purpose-built for easy integration with AI that helps enterprises, solopreneurs and developers turn ideas into identities in minutes. Combined with the help of generative AI and intuitive chat-based interfaces, API reimagines domain registration for the next generation. 'Domains have become more than web addresses, they're the backbone of identity and innovation,' said Sammy Ahmed, General Manager at 'Our API platform removes today's challenges from domain integration, making it native to how modern tools and AI agents operate. By unlocking new levels of speed and scale, anyone, whether coding directly or collaborating with AI, can turn concepts into reality and revenue faster than ever before.' API is free, scalable, and works seamlessly with any AI tool that supports MCP, such as Claude and Cursor, allowing domain operations to be handled through simple prompts. With AI agents handling the complexity of domain registration management, developers can quickly launch domain marketplaces, embed registration into SaaS flows, automate previously time-consuming administrative tasks, and build custom dashboards. Investors can also create analytics, valuation tools, and portfolio management systems faster and with less effort than ever before. ' is streamlining one of the most critical steps in creating and shipping software online: securing a domain. Now, our users can find and secure domains for their projects without ever leaving their creation workflow,' said Gian Segato, founding data scientist and engineer at Replit. 'We're proud to partner with to make it even easier for anyone building on Replit to bring their ideas to life and get online faster.'

AI-powered screening, market network analysis: How this trading platform cuts through market noise for precision trades
In today's fast-moving markets, even seasoned investors can find it challenging to cut through the noise and identify real opportunities. But what if your trading app can help you cut through the noise, help you understand market movements and even guide you in exploring a smart investment strategy? On Longbridge, a new trading app powered by artificial intelligence (AI), retail traders can access a wide range of analytical data previously out of reach. For instance, the app can summarise the latest developments affecting a company in an instant, helping you quickly grasp the reasons behind unusual share price movements and stock valuations. Beyond current news headlines, Longbridge also helps you assess a stock's value in context by comparing a company's valuations against both its historical performance and that of industry peers. For more sophisticated investors, Longbridge offers an OpenAPI service that can be integrated with AI tools, allowing you to explore and test trading strategies using natural language without needing to write any code. To see the bigger picture, use Supply Chain Mapping, a visualisation tool which shows how a company's performance is connected to different industries. With a feature like this, you will have a better understanding of the wider factors influencing stock prices. BT in your inbox Start and end each day with the latest news stories and analyses delivered straight to your inbox. Sign Up Sign Up Together, these features help investors stay attuned to shifts in the stock market without having to toggle between a trading platform and other AI chatbots and search engines. The Longbridge app currently offers investors access to over 32,000 stocks, derivatives and exchange-traded funds in the US, Hong Kong and Singapore. Its AI tools pull in real-time market data and news, making it easier for traders to track key updates and respond quickly to price changes. Says Xu Shengyu, chief executive officer of Longbridge Securities Singapore: 'Often, retail traders are left to navigate complex markets with minimal guidance. There is a lack of advanced analytics and educational support on existing platforms. 'We hope to bridge this gap by offering tools like AI-driven stock screening and in-app explainers to help every investor feel informed, confident and in control of their investments.' Long Bridge Securities, the Singapore entity behind the Longbridge app, holds a Capital Markets Services (CMS) license issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). It keeps client funds in a segregated custodian account with DBS Bank, providing customers with greater peace of mind. Longbridge: From tech roots to AI-powered trading Founded March 2019. Has more than 500 employees across Hong Kong, Singapore, China, the US and Thailand. Approximately 70 per cent of the staff are fintech research and development specialists. Holds 22 licenses across the US, Singapore and Hong Kong. Raised over US$150 million (S$191 million) from investors, including several major financial and investment institutions. Achieved a 300 per cent growth in user assets and a 200 per cent growth in user base globally last year, processing over 11.55 million orders – a nearly 10-fold year-over-year increase. As of February this year, Longbridge ranks as the fastest-growing fintech brokerage in Hong Kong. Won multiple awards, including the TAB Global Awards 2024 for Best Wealth Management Technology Implementation and Adam Smith Awards 2023 for Best Foreign Exchange Solution. Expand Deep technological roots While the Longbridge trading app is new to Singapore, Long Bridge Securities and its parent company Longbridge Group have been operating since 2019. Longbridge Group's technology business has supported over 100 financial institutions globally with its technology and data-centric solutions. Its core trading systems were developed in-house and has over 300 research and development professionals on its fintech team. At the core of the app is PortAI, an AI agent designed to help investors better understand market trends, identify possible investment opportunities and offer data-supported insights to inform decision-making. While AI functions are becoming more common in trading apps, most are still limited to basic chatbot features. The Longbridge app takes it further by integrating AI across multiple tools, offering users deeper insights and support beyond simple conversations. For instance, PortAI can look at the stocks on your watchlist to highlight the most relevant industry trends affecting that portfolio. It can also analyse your investments to help you identify possible opportunities and be aware of potential risks. Says Singer Ding, Longbridge's content product specialist: 'Every investor seeks to generate alpha, but with the overwhelming flow of information and market noise, it's often hard to know where to begin. 'The Longbridge app aims to help users identify and recognise potential trading opportunities, offering AI-powered analysis to deliver sharper market insights, especially for newer investors, so they can make more informed investment decisions.' For articles longer than 300 words, let PortAI summarise the key points to help you save time. 'While we do offer real-time conversational interaction with PortAI – similar to many other platforms – our true differentiation lies in how AI enhances the user experience throughout different touchpoints in the trading journey,' Xu adds. Lifetime zero commissions As a recent entrant to the competitive Singapore market, Longbridge aims to attract investors with its AI-powered features and cost savings, offering lifetime zero commissions^ for US, Hong Kong and Singapore stocks for all users. This differs from other online brokerages that often offer zero commissions for only a limited period. Those opening an account from now till Dec 31, 2025 will also benefit from zero platform fees* for a period of three months, making it even easier to save on trades. To Xu, investing should not feel intimidating or out of reach. Whether someone is making their first trade or refining a long-term strategy, he believes access to good tools and timely information can make all the difference. 'Our goal is simple: to help every investor feel informed, confident and in control of their financial future. We hope Singaporeans will think of Longbridge, whether they are just starting out or looking to deepen their market knowledge,' he says. 'In the next two to three years, we hope to become a household name by building a platform that's not only technologically advanced but also approachable, educational and deeply localised,' he adds.

A customer broadened its current partnership to incorporate Optiva's latest advanced Application Server and leverage Optiva's Open API framework. Additionally, a customer upgraded to a next-generation, full-stack BSS platform, and another selected Optiva for an Intelligent Network (IN) platform upgrade to be deployed with cloud infrastructure and a 5-year support renewal. Optiva has announced the integration of agentic AI, utilizing advanced generative AI (GenAI) technology powered by Google's Gemini models, into its BSS and charging solutions.

Optiva's outstanding 9.75% Senior Secured PIK Toggle Notes, of which an aggregate principal amount of US$108 million is currently outstanding (the "Secured Notes"), are maturing on July 20, 2025. The Company's Special Committee is actively engaged with strategic third parties, including key holders of the Secured Notes, for purposes of evaluating strategic alternatives to optimize outcomes for the business, our people, and our customers.

First Quarter 2025 Financial Results Highlights: Q1 Fiscal 2025 Highlights Three Months Ended ($ US Millions, except per share information) March 31, (Unaudited) 2025 2024 Revenue 11.6 11.7 Net Income (Loss) (2.3 ) (6.0 ) Earnings (Loss) Per Share ($0.38 ) ($0.98 ) Adjusted EBITDA(1) 0.5 (2.3 ) Cash from (used in) operating activities (3.1 ) (3.4 ) Total cash, including restricted cash 8.0 12.0 Revenue for Q1'25 was $11.6 million. On a year-over-year basis, the change by revenue type included a $0.2 million increase in support and subscription revenue, $0.2 million decrease in software and services revenue and $0.1 million decrease in third party software and hardware revenue. The increase in support and subscription in the period mainly relates to the support revenue from new customers. The year-over-year decrease in software and services revenue reflects fewer software implementations in the period. Gross margin for Q1'25 was 64% compared to 58% during the same period in 2023. The increase in gross margin is primarily attributable to higher revenue from high margin support and subscription revenue and low amount of customizations with lower margins ordered by customers that required fulfillment, compared to the previous period. We expect our gross margins may fluctuate as our cloud-native model and product capabilities are adopted by new and existing customers in the public or private cloud in future periods. Adjusted Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")1 for Q1 was a gain of $0.5 million as compared to loss of $2.3 million during the same period in 2024. Net loss for Q1 was $2.3 million compared to a net loss of $6.0 million during the same period in 2024. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was lower mainly due to the lower operations expenses incurred during the period compared to last year. The company's lower operating expenses reflect ongoing efforts to optimize resources in support of our product roadmap, customer service, expanding our customer base, and administrative needs. The Company ended the first quarter with a cash balance of $8.0 million (including restricted cash). (1) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, TCV and adjusted EPS are non-IFRS measures. These measures are defined in the "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" section of this news release. Non-IFRS Measures 'EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA" are not financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute to net income (loss), operating income or any other financial measures of performance calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding amounts for depreciation and amortization, other income, finance costs, finance income, income tax expense (recovery), foreign exchange gain (loss) and share-based compensation. The Company defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as EBITDA (as defined above), excluding restructuring costs, one-time provision amounts and other one-time unusual items. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a metric that investors may find useful in understanding the Company's financial position. The following table provides a reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands of U.S. dollars). Three months ended March 31, 2025 2024 Net loss for the period $ (2,339 ) $ (6,032 ) Add back / (subtract): Depreciation of computer equipment 113 179 Finance income (88 ) (193 ) Finance costs 2,906 2,829 Income tax expense (recovery) 201 239 Foreign exchange loss (gain) (85 ) 162 Share-based compensation (249 ) 507 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA $ 459 $ (2,309 ) TCV is the Total Contract Value of all bookings closed in the period.

The Company had a working capital deficit (current assets less current liabilities) of $98.6 million as at March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 – working capital deficit of $94.8 million), reflecting inclusion of the 9.75% secured PIK toggle debentures due July 20, 2025 (the 'Debentures') as a current liability.

Silent Push unveils enhanced threat intelligence with Feed Scanner
Silent Push has launched an updated Threat Intelligence Management module featuring a new Feed Scanner interface designed to strengthen organisations' ability to identify emerging cyber threats. The release provides expanded automation and search capabilities that enable users to access and navigate the entirety of the company's enriched feed data. These enhancements aim to help enterprise security teams detect and defend against threats by using Indicators Of Future AttackTM (IOFATM), a proprietary approach to identifying potential adversary infrastructure before it is used in an attack. The new Feed Scanner interface allows security professionals to query feed data, save and share searches internally, and export results for further analysis. This feature is accompanied by a dedicated IOFATM feeds section within the Threat Intelligence Management module, alongside new IOFATM feed highlights in the Total View screen, which aims to improve the threat detection and response workflow. Ken Bagnall, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Silent Push, commented on the current state of threat intelligence and the demand for more proactive solutions. "The ability to respond swiftly and effectively to growing cyber threats is mission critical for any organisation. Yet, many continue to struggle with IOC-based legacy threat intelligence that lacks real-time data to produce actionable insights. Our latest enhancements demonstrate our commitment to deliver the features needed and requested by our customers to uncover lurking threats and counteract hidden infrastructure yet to be used." According to the company, traditional threat intelligence, often based on Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), is no longer sufficient in a landscape where cyber attackers frequently change their tactics, techniques, and procedures. Silent Push sees the need to address these changes with more comprehensive and timely intelligence that allows teams to anticipate attacks, rather than only responding to incidents once they are underway. The update also includes a Customer Feeds API, which provides organisations with the ability to create and manage their own feeds. This RESTful interface supports automation of indicator and tag creation, management of proprietary threat data feeds, and is OpenAPI compliant to ensure broad compatibility and thorough documentation for integration with other security tools. Another feature, Threat Check API/DNS-Based Lookups, enables the handling of high volumes of threat indicator queries. With this functionality, organisations can check for indicators present in any of their IOFATM feeds, scan all indicators found in their log files, or verify incoming email domains—an approach that enterprise customers can access on an unlimited basis. Silent Push reports that its platform now offers insights through TLP Amber reports, which are finished intelligence documents providing detailed guidance on how to detect and prevent attacks by high-profile adversaries as well as common attack vectors. By giving users full access to Silent Push's DNS and web content database, and by refining how feeds are searched, managed and shared, the company expects security and incident response teams, threat and security analysts, and security architects to have a more complete and actionable view over the emerging threat environment. With the new update, organisations are positioned to identify hidden infrastructure more rapidly and reveal threat actor activity patterns earlier in the attack lifecycle. The Feed Scanner and associated features can be accessed through the Silent Push standalone platform or via API integration with compatible security products, such as SIEM, XDR, SOAR, TIP, and OSINT solutions.
