  • Kornerz Leadership Proudly Announces Their Newly Released Historic Retention Rate

    Proud Social Media App Proves That People Want To Feel Comfortable and Socialize Positively

    NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Kornerz’s CEO Khalil Jezini used the phrase “Stamp
    of Quality” when he learned that his social media outfit, Kornerz , received a whopping
    78 percent retention rate.  This number means nearly eighty percent of all visitors who
    come to Kornerz, end up staying in the app, getting involved in the many meeting rooms
    and then tell others what the app has to offer.

    According to Mr. Jezini, this strong retention rate is the “proof of the pudding”, an almost
    official stamp to say that Kornerz isn’t just “interesting” to navigate, but essential to the
    user’s experience and what drives new people to Kornerz.

    “We used to be a sight whereby people used to either look around, try it for a while and
    may not return for one reason or another,” said Mr. Jezini. “Now, the guidance and
    creativity of the Kornerz team, we learned what works and what doesn’t, and we are
    perfecting the uniqueness of what makes Kornerz a social media destination.”

    Kornerz has now fulfilled their Product-to-Market Fit (PMF) where it has answered the
    call from today’s social media world and it has demonstrated high-growth customer
    retention, mostly done by way of word-of-mouth adoption. Which all in all is interesting
    because Kornerz defines what real social media is, a pleasant education conversational
    platform, not a place of negativity and aggression. Another positive standout is the
    Introductory Offer Conversion, these are users who went from a free-trial to a paid
    subscription. This very positive number of 67 percent defines Kornerz’s strongest
    growth.

    “What’s also huge for Kornerz is the 67 percent trial-to-paid conversion, which today is
    unheard of,” continues Jezini. “This introductory offer-conversion rate tells us two
    things, first, Kornerz’ onboarding is seamless and, second, the moment a user knocks
    on Kornerz door, that door opens and they immediately start seeing the value to join. A
    67 percent trial-to-paid conversion rate doesn’t just happen out of the blue, it occurs
    because the user sees that Kornerz solves real problems.”

    Jezini is also saying that he is comforted to know that Kornerz’ messaging is hitting the
    mark in a big way. The app now has a plus-193 percent in Month-Over-Month (MoM)
    indication shows the conversion growth, where Kornerz refined the user’s journey and
    the success is seen here as the company is converting nearly three times more
    efficiently since early January.

    “MoM has also increased in conversion and we’ve proven that our messaging is hitting
    the mark. We’ve refined the journey so well that the conversion has been both seamless
    and also stronger than ever,” said Jezini.

  • Cracking the Algorithm: ‘Prompt to Power’ Kit Helps YouTubers Script Viral Hooks and Descriptions Faster

    Scale your YouTube channel with “Prompt to Power.” This AI toolkit helps creators script hooks, optimize descriptions, and boost retention instantly.

    Most creators fail not because they lack talent, but because they run out of time”
    — Founder of Expert AI Prompts

    TOWNSVILLE, QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA, March 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — For modern content creators, the greatest barrier to growth isn’t the camera gear or the editing software—it is the “blank page.” Today, Expert AI Prompts announces the release of “Prompt to Power: The YouTube Creator’s AI Toolkit,” a strategic resource designed to help solopreneurs and small media teams automate the most time-consuming phase of video production: scripting and strategy.

    As video platforms like YouTube and TikTok continue to dominate the digital landscape in 2026, the demand for high-volume, high-retention content has never been higher. However, for small business owners and independent creators, maintaining the consistency required by the algorithm often leads to burnout.

    “Most creators fail not because they lack talent, but because they run out of time,” says the Founder of Expert AI Prompts. “We noticed that creators were spending 80% of their energy just figuring out what to say. We built ‘Prompt to Power’ to flip that ratio, using AI to handle the structural heavy lifting so creators can focus on performance.”

    Ending the Pre-Production Bottleneck
    The “Prompt to Power” toolkit is distinct from generic AI writing tools. It avoids the robotic, “hallucinated” output common with basic ChatGPT use by utilizing context-heavy frameworks. The toolkit focuses on the three critical metrics of YouTube growth: Click-Through Rate (CTR), Average View Duration (AVD), and Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

    Key features of the toolkit include:

    – Viral Hook Generators: Prompts that engineer the first 30 seconds of a video to maximize viewer retention.
    – Script Structure Frameworks: Templates for tutorials, vlogs, and educational content that ensure logical flow and engagement.
    – SEO Optimization: “Precision Prompts” that generate keyword-rich descriptions, tags, and titles to dominate search results.
    – Repurposing Engines: Workflows to turn a single video script into tweets, blog posts, and email newsletters instantly.

    Strategic Impact for the “Solopreneur”

    The release targets the “Alex Rivers” persona—ambitious solopreneurs who need to compete with large media agencies. By standardizing the creative process, the toolkit allows a single person to execute the workload of a production team.

    “The blank page is the enemy of consistency,” says the Lead Strategist at Expert AI Prompts. “If you stare at a cursor for an hour, you’ve lost. Our prompts act as a creative catalyst. You input your core idea, and the AI structures the narrative, writes the hook, and even suggests visual cues. It transforms the AI from a chatbot into a seasoned Executive Producer.”

    “We are moving past the era of ‘hey AI, write a script.’ That doesn’t work anymore. To rank in 2026, you need strategic depth. You need to tell the AI how to write for retention. That is what this toolkit provides—the strategy is baked into the prompt.”

    Availability

    “Prompt to Power: The YouTube Creator’s AI Toolkit” is available for immediate download starting today. It is compatible with all major LLMs, including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

    For more information or to download the toolkit, visit: https://expertaiprompts.com/prompt-to-power-youtube-creators-ai-toolkit

  • Video Interview: Successful Pilot-Scale Run with Cayman Chemical Validates eXoZymes’ Technology and Scalability

    eXoZymes Inc. (NASDAQ:EXOZ)

    This pilot run is an important validation of our cell-free platform, demonstrating that it performs reliably at scale and delivers strong results in the hands of an external partner.”
    — Damien Perriman, Chief Commercial Officer at eXoZymes

    LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, March 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Today, eXoZymes Inc. (NASDAQ: EXOZ) (“eXoZymes”) – a pioneer of AI-enhanced enzymes that transforms abundant feedstock into valuable nutraceuticals and novel medicines – announced an important validation and de-risking milestone for its cell-free biomanufacturing platform: An independent partner, Cayman Chemical, successfully ran eXoZymes’ technology at pilot scale and achieved results consistent with – and in some cases exceeding – earlier internal runs.

    eXoZymes is a B2i Digital Featured Company. See their full profile at https://b2idigital.com/exozymes-1.

    Link to the video interview: https://exozymes.twentythree.com/interview-cayman-chemical-validates

    Using eXoZymes’ tech transfer package, Cayman Chemical advanced the protocol from a one-liter setup to a 100-liter pilot run, operating the reaction, downstream processing, and analysis independently. During the run, the team encountered real-world conditions – including pH variation and precipitation – which often cause enzyme-based processes to fail. Despite this, the reaction continued to perform reliably and delivered strong results, ultimately producing more than 500 grams of pharma-grade N-trans-caffeoyltyramine (NCT) at 99.6% purity, a result that is difficult to obtain in biomanufacturing without extensive purification steps. Additionally, the 99% conversion of feedstock to end product highlights a level of efficiency that is challenging to achieve and maintain in traditional biomanufacturing.

    For Cayman Chemical, the outcome stood out based on prior experience as highlighted by Patrick Westcott, Director of Catalog Chemistry Production at Cayman Chemical: “I’ve performed a lot of cell-based enzymatic biocatalysis over the years; it is a critical component of what we do at Cayman. One common aspect of this work is a drop in efficacy during scale-up. Anytime you move up in scale orders of magnitude, a process changes enough that it is considered a different process altogether.”

    Westcott, continues, “During the experiment, from the first sample that we took the analysis showed over a 99% conversion rate. There was some concern because I thought that that maybe was a little bit too high. So, we decided to take a second sample to see if it maintained a similar conversion rate. And we were a little surprised to find out that we actually did achieve this 99% conversion in our first 100-fold scale up of their process. That was very much an aha moment for us!”

    “This pilot run is an important validation of our cell-free platform, demonstrating that it performs reliably at scale and delivers strong results in the hands of an external partner. The fact that this project reached pilot scale in less than a year underscores our ability to move R&D at a disruptive pace – and just as importantly – it meaningfully reduces platform execution risk by showing that our technology can be transferred and operated successfully beyond our own labs.” states Chief Commercial Officer at eXoZymes, Damien Perriman, and continues, “With more than 500 grams of pharma-grade NCT now available from this run, we are actively engaging partners interested in evaluation, formulation development, and potential commercialization.”

    Formulation can be shipped to partners
    With isolated high-purity NCT now produced at pilot scale, eXoZymes is actively engaging with partners interested in formulation development, product validation, and application-specific testing. The availability of high-purity material enables partners to move beyond feasibility studies and into hands-on evaluation under relevant conditions. Companies seeking to explore potential use cases, assess performance, or initiate collaborative development discussions are invited to contact eXoZymes to request samples and discuss next steps, right here:

  • Public Health Action Network Is Accepting Proposals for Projects That Reduce Transmission of Airborne Pathogens

    PHAN welcomes proposals from individuals, researchers, engineers, public health practitioners, and innovators committed to advancing high impact projects

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, March 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Public Health Action Network (PHAN) is honored to announce that it is accepting requests for proposals (RFP) for a new grant program to fund projects that will have a measurable impact in reducing indoor transmission of airborne pathogens. By supporting practical interventions, PHAN aims to empower communities to reduce airborne transmission and build healthier shared spaces.

    PHAN welcomes proposals from individuals, researchers, engineers, public health practitioners, and innovators committed to advancing high impact projects that aim to lower viral aerosols. Proposals can be submitted on our website at https://publichealthactionnetwork.org/phan-2026-request-for-proposal/. Proposal submissions are due by March 31, 2026.

    Clean indoor air is a human right and PHAN exists to protect it. Our mission is to unite and amplify diverse global public health initiatives, fostering collaboration to break down silos and create a global movement dedicated to safeguarding health and improving indoor air quality. Respiratory pathogens such as COVID-19, influenza, RSV, measles, tuberculosis, and other airborne threats continue to expose structural weaknesses in indoor air infrastructure across schools, workplaces, healthcare facilities, and congregate environments. This program reflects PHAN’s commitment to helping communities translate science into action by supporting deployable tools that meaningfully reduce airborne transmission risk. We invite individuals, teams, and organizations working on practical solutions to submit proposals and help advance the next generation of airborne disease prevention tools.

    This Request for Proposal seeks implementable, scalable interventions that directly reduce the concentration of infectious aerosols within the built environment. We are focused on solutions that move beyond guidance and recommendations, and instead create operational change with documented outcomes. The proposal should include a clearly defined baseline condition, specific intervention mechanism, quantitative Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), deployment readiness, documented reduction in transmission risk, and a realistic pathway to scale. If you are developing a solution capable of reducing airborne transmission in real world settings, we encourage you to submit a proposal for consideration.

    All selected projects must deliver a deployable prototype or implementation in 2026 and demonstrate measurable impact in 2027. For purposes of this RFP, ‘prototype’ refers broadly to a functional, deployable implementation appropriate to the proposed solution.

    Some areas of interest and example projects include:
    – detection and screening systems, like breath-based multi-pathogen detection systems, high-throughput institutional screening platforms, ambient air pathogen detection systems, and integrated detection paired with mitigation workflows
    – ventilation and air quality standards, like continuous HVAC compliance verification systems, air change validation and audit tools, performance-triggered corrective monitoring systems, and portfolio-wide ventilation implementation frameworks
    – indoor air infrastructure deployment, like scalable ventilation retrofits, portable filtration or air disinfection systems, sensor-driven optimization platforms, and multi-building deployment models with before-and-after validation

    “Clean air isn’t just one more public health measure, it’s a basic part of everything we’re trying to achieve at PHAN,” said PHAN CEO Tarz Ludwigsen. “We’re launching this RFP because we want to encourage innovation in clean air technologies and standards that can make a real difference for public health.” Through this initiative, PHAN aims to help communities put effective solutions into practice, not just talk about what’s needed. We want to make sure the tools to reduce transmission are available in the places where people gather, learn, and work. We’re eager to review proposals from organizations and teams committed to creating safer indoor environments through practical, measurable solutions.”

    About Public Health Action Network:

    Founded in late 2024, PHAN is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) dedicated to uniting and amplifying diverse global public health initiatives. We believe clean air is a basic right and a public health essential. By uniting siloed resources, translating verified research into actionable insights, and developing open-source user-centered tools, we empower individuals and communities with the information they need, whether it’s understanding disease risks, finding clean-air-conscious businesses, or accessing Long COVID care. By advancing evidence-based strategies, sharing reliable information, advocating for high-quality filtration systems, promoting mask usage, and developing open-source, accessible tools and resources at global and community levels, we strive to reduce the impact of airborne pollutants and infectious disease, and to empower communities to tackle the long-term harms of COVID-19 and other airborne pathogens. We are building new solutions, enhancing existing ones, and driving collaboration and meaningful action toward a healthier, more resilient future.
    If you are taking precautions to avoid getting respiratory infections, you are not alone. We host regular online events and are releasing a podcast focused on airborne pathogens and mitigations. You can connect with us through social media or stay up to date by signing up for our newsletters at https://phan.global/contact.

  • Introducing the Agent Skills Security Index

    The Agent Skills Security Index community powered by Tego is a public database that analyzes and maps security risks within AI agent capabilities and workflows.

    The Agent Skills Security Index provides a structured way to analyze the emerging attack surface created by AI agent capabilities, helping teams understand how behavior translates into risk.”

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, March 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — A New Database Maps the Security Risks of AI Agent Skills

    A new public database has launched to analyze the security risks introduced by AI agent skills, the capabilities that increasingly define how modern AI agents operate. The site available at https://index.tego.security/skills/ presents what appears to be the first dedicated database focused on the security assessment of AI agent skills. The project, called the Agent Skills Security Index, catalogs the capabilities these modules grant to AI systems and evaluates the risks they may introduce into agent-driven workflows.

    The Agent Skills Security Index is an initiative of the Agent Skills Security Index community, which aims to provide security researchers and practitioners with a structured way to analyze the emerging attack surface created by AI agent capabilities.
    AI skills, sometimes called tools, functions, or plugins, are rapidly becoming the core building blocks of agentic AI systems. They allow language models to retrieve data, perform specialized reasoning tasks, and execute automated workflows.
    But these capabilities also introduce a new layer of attack surface that many organizations are only beginning to understand. Research examining large ecosystems of agent skills has already found that more than a quarter contain at least one security vulnerability, including prompt injection vectors, privilege escalation opportunities, and data-exfiltration risks.

    The new database aims to make this emerging attack surface visible.
    Each skill entry includes a structured security analysis designed to help practitioners understand how a capability might be abused inside real agent deployments. The assessment process uses a multi-dimensional security methodology combining automated scanning, specialized AI models trained to analyze agent behavior, and manual security review.

    Rather than simply flagging potentially dangerous code patterns, the analysis follows a practical philosophy: instructions and behaviors are evaluated within the context of the skill’s intended purpose. This allows the review process to distinguish between normal operational capabilities and behaviors that could realistically be exploited by attackers manipulating an AI agent’s reasoning process.
    The project reflects a broader shift occurring in AI system security. As AI agents move beyond text generation into task execution and autonomous workflows, the security boundary is increasingly defined by the capabilities those agents can invoke.

    In this model, skills effectively become the execution layer of AI systems, capable of:
    • influencing agent decision-making
    • injecting context into reasoning processes
    • triggering automated actions
    • exposing data through tool outputs
    • interacting with other agents

    Security researchers are beginning to recognize that these capabilities introduce attack patterns with few direct parallels in traditional software, including indirect prompt injection through retrieved content and confused-deputy attacks caused by agent tool invocation.
    By cataloging and analyzing these capabilities, the Agent Skills Security Index aims to provide security teams with a clearer understanding of how agent behavior translates into real security risk.

    The resource is publicly accessible and is expected to expand as the ecosystem of AI agent skills continues to grow.
    The initiative is supported by contributors from the AI security community, including researchers working on security technologies for the emerging agentic AI ecosystem and powered by Tego.AI

  • Sage Bionetworks Partners with NYU Langone Health to Build Data Infrastructure for NIH’s Complement-ARIE Program

    New data hub will accelerate development and adoption of human-based New Approach Methodologies

    The NYU Langone-Sage NDHCC will expand upon the work Sage Bionetworks has been doing for more than a decade, building infrastructure that makes collaborative biomedical research possible at scale.”
    — Jineta Banerjee, Ph.D.

    SEATTLE, WA, UNITED STATES, March 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Researchers developing new drugs or studying human diseases often rely on animal models that don’t accurately reflect human biology. A growing body of research points to human-based alternatives, such as organ-on-chip devices and organoids grown from patient cells, collectively called New Approach Methodologies (NAMs), as more reliable tools for modeling human health and disease. But these emerging methods generate complex, diverse data that currently lacks shared standards or infrastructure, making it difficult for researchers to compare results or build on each other’s work.

    Sage Bionetworks today announced its role as a key partner in the newly funded NAMs Data Hub and Coordinating Center (NDHCC), part of the National Institutes of Health Common Fund’s Complement Animal Research In Experimentation (Complement-ARIE) program. The NDHCC, led by NYU Langone Health in collaboration with Sage Bionetworks, will build the data and standards infrastructure needed to accelerate the development, standardization, and adoption of NAMs, helping researchers and independent validation groups find, reuse, and compare data across labs and experiments and verify recapitulation of human disease. The Complement-ARIE program represents a major investment by the NIH Common Fund in advancing human-based research methods, at a time when regulators including the FDA and European Commission are actively encouraging the field to move beyond animal testing.

    As part of the NDHCC, Sage will host the consortium’s data backbone, providing a FAIR-compliant hub for data, code, and computational models, along with AI-augmented data curation and quality control, a standardized framework for harmonizing NAMs data across the consortium, and analytical tools to help researchers work with complex datasets. The cloud-native semi-federated hub will incorporate Sage’s AI-powered Curator tool for metadata curation and leverage the organization’s Synapse platform, which supports over 100,000 researchers and stewards more than 3.5 petabytes of annotated biomedical data across more than 100 modalities. The data hub will leverage and build upon Sage Bionetworks’ experience from 26 data coordinating centers, including the Human Tumor Atlas Network (HTAN), the Accelerating Medicines Partnership for Alzheimer’s Disease (AMP-AD), the BRAIN Initiative, Bridge2AI, and the AD Knowledge Portal. The NDHCC will also foster community adoption of NAMs by supporting DREAM Challenges – open data science competitions hosted on Synapse – along with workshops, training materials, and consortium-wide meetings to broadly disseminate findings and tools.

    “The NYU Langone-Sage NDHCC will expand upon the work Sage Bionetworks has been doing for more than a decade, building infrastructure that makes collaborative biomedical research possible at scale,” said Jineta Banerjee, Ph.D., Associate Director of Advanced Data Analytics at Sage Bionetworks and one of the Principal Investigators of the NDHCC. “We’re bringing our experience in FAIR data principles, metadata harmonization, ML model evaluation, and AI-enabled data curation to the Complement-ARIE program to enable a ‘live’ data pipeline from raw data to computational models. Our work in the new approach methodologies (NAMs) will support this emerging research community working towards transforming how we model and study human health and disease.”

    “I am extremely pleased that the NYU Langone–Sage Bionetworks partnership will play a key role in coordinating the data and activities of the Complement-ARIE program,” said Gustavo Stolovitzky, PhD, Director of the Biomedical Data Science Hub at NYU Langone and a member of the Board of Directors at Sage Bionetworks. “The NYU–Sage Data Hub and Coordinating Center will make the data generated by the Complement-ARIE consortium analysis- and AI-ready, enabling researchers to translate the curated data into new discoveries. It is a privilege to contribute to the consortium’s mission of reducing reliance on animal models through data-driven innovation.”
