HarrisQuest Launches Lou, a Voice-Enabled AI Analyst Built Inside The Harris Poll’s Brand Tracking Platform
New York, NY
HarrisQuest, part of Stagwell’s The Marketing Cloud (NASDAQ:STGW) and powered by The Harris Poll, today announced the launch of Lou, an AI analyst built natively inside HarrisQuest, the brand tracking platform within The Marketing Cloud. Designed by researchers for researchers, HarrisQuest enables global brands to track brand and corporate reputation consistently across 24 global markets, and Lou delivers the “why” behind the data in seconds.
“We knew this insights agent was so powerful it had to be named in honor of Lou (our founder, Louis Harris),” says John Gerzema, CEO of The Harris Poll. “Powered by over seventy years of proven research methodology and trusted brand data, Lou delivers expert-grade insights at scale and extends trusted intelligence to every corner of the organization.”
Lou works inside HarrisQuest with full access to the brand’s data and saved analyses. It never needs to be briefed and operates around the clock. Unlike chat-based AI assistants layered onto generic dashboards, Lou executes directly inside the platform: building custom segments, rendering custom reports, applying filters, and surfacing strategic insights in real time. Most analyses are completed in less than 10 seconds. Just speak or type a question to Lou, and it acts.
AI That Acts, Not Just Answers
Lou isn’t an AI analyst that simply summarizes, it will act as an extension of your team running in the background. Lou pulls reports, custom views, and surfaces insights on your brand’s shifts and changes.
“Most AI in this category can summarize what has already happened. Lou is built to work directly in the data,” said Jonathan Gardner, CEO, HarrisQuest. “It builds the cut, renders the view, applies the filters, and helps teams understand what changed, what matters, and where to look first. We didn’t add AI to a dashboard. We put an analyst inside a measurement system.”
Lou’s capabilities include:
- Custom Audience Segment Building: Customizable configuration by generation, geography, political ideology, income, or any combination, including bulk Designated Market Area (DMA) inputs. No data team required.
- Voice-enabled Prompts: Users can speak to Lou and watch the data come to life. Ask about “the two weeks after our Super Bowl campaign” or “how does Gen Z feel about our brand today versus six months ago?” Lou pulls the data, builds the views, and surfaces the insight.
- Funnel and Competitive Diagnosis: Lou does not only show what changed about your brand. It helps teams identify where the funnel is breaking and how the brand compares competitively, pointing to where the issue lies and where to look first.
- Customized Reports: Live data is pulled from the brand’s actual performance at that moment, each savable to a permanent URL, ready for the next session or the next team member to easily view.
- Time-over-Time Comparisons in Seconds: No manual date configuration required.
- Boardroom-ready Outputs: Lou pulls trusted, rigorously grounded data from HarrisQuest, formatted for the C-suite brief or the analyst deep-dive, on demand.
When the data does not support a conclusion, Lou says so. Every output is grounded in the platform’s methodology, metric definitions, formulas, and reasoning rules. No hallucinated calculations. No scraping. No invented causality from cross-sectional data.
“I needed year-over-year Brand Equity across the U.S. and Mexico. That’s normally a team effort. With Lou, I built it myself in minutes,” said a Brand Marketing Manager at a major international sports federation. “It’s not a tool we check in on. It’s an analyst that’s already working.”
A Differentiated Experience: AI Inside the Measurement System
HarrisQuest stores the work teams already do: segments, saved views, historical cuts, and prior analyses, each preserved at a permanent URL. Lou operates inside that accumulated history. A new analyst stepping into the platform on day one has immediate access to an AI working from the team’s saved segments, views, and prior work. No briefing. No setup. No starting over. The longer a team uses HarrisQuest, the richer the platform context Lou can work from.
Brand Intelligence for Every Member of the Team
Lou extends the power of always-on brand intelligence to every brand insights professional, marketer, communications leader, and executive who makes decisions on brand and corporate reputation data. Users no longer need to be data specialists to dig into what is driving brand performance. Lou handles the analysis; they focus on the decision.
Users can now speak to Lou, ask what’s going on with their brand, drill into audience performance with Gen Z, sports fans in Mexico, or any segment that matters, and get insights on what is causing shifts in brand equity or consideration. Lou will surface what you need in time for the next meeting and save what the team worked on for next time.

YUBIT Secures FSC Mauritius License, Strengthening Its Bridge Between Crypto and TradFi
PORT LOUIS, MAURITIUSYUBIT has secured a Full Service Investment Dealer License from the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius, reinforcing the regulatory framework behind a platform that gives traders access to more than 1,000 crypto and traditional markets from a single account.

PORT LOUIS, MAURITIUS
YUBIT has secured a Full Service Investment Dealer License from the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius, reinforcing the regulatory framework behind a platform that gives traders access to more than 1,000 crypto and traditional markets from a single account.

The lines between traditional finance and digital assets are becoming increasingly blurred. Yet for active traders, moving between the two often still means navigating separate platforms, limited market access, and lengthy onboarding processes.
The license supports YUBIT’s broader vision of bringing digital assets and global markets together on a single platform, giving traders greater flexibility to move between Bitcoin, commodities, equities, indices, forex, and other major asset classes.
Access to 1,000+ Global Markets
Traditionally, accessing regulated global markets has meant going through conventional brokerages, often with lengthy onboarding and verification processes. Crypto exchanges, on the other hand, have made trading faster and more accessible, but typically offer limited access to traditional financial markets.
With its FSC Mauritius license, YUBIT is bringing the two closer together. The platform provides access to more than 1,000 markets across crypto and traditional finance, including Contracts for Difference (CFDs) covering gold, silver, global equities, oil, indices, and forex, alongside a broad range of crypto spot and futures markets.
This gives traders the flexibility to move between crypto and traditional markets from a single platform, whether they’re trading digital assets, responding to movements in global equities, or seeking exposure to traditional safe-haven assets such as gold.
Built for Cross-Asset Trading
Alongside its expanding market coverage, YUBIT continues to develop trading tools designed for users managing positions across different asset classes.
Key features include:
- Unified K-Line Trading: A consistent charting and trading experience across digital assets and traditional markets.
- Risk-Based Position Sizing: Traders can define their acceptable risk first, with the platform automatically calculating the corresponding position size.
- On-Chart TP/SL: Take-Profit and Stop-Loss levels can be adjusted directly on the chart, giving traders greater control when managing open positions.
Together, these tools are designed to make cross-asset trading more intuitive while giving traders greater control over execution and risk management.
A Step Forward for YUBIT’s Global Strategy
YUBIT’s leadership sees the FSC license as more than a regulatory milestone. It is also part of the platform’s wider strategy to give traders greater flexibility as crypto and traditional markets become increasingly interconnected.

“As markets become increasingly connected, traders want the flexibility to move between crypto and traditional assets without having to manage multiple platforms,” said Chris Aumüller, Chief Business Officer at YUBIT. “Our FSC license marks an important step forward as we continue expanding YUBIT’s multi-asset offering within a stronger regulatory framework.”
“At the same time, we’re continuing to improve the tools traders use to manage risk, including risk-based position sizing and on-chart TP/SL. Our goal is simple: to give traders the markets, tools, and flexibility they need in one place.”
As the boundaries between crypto and traditional finance continue to evolve, YUBIT is positioning itself at the intersection of both markets.
With expanded access to global assets, a growing suite of professional trading tools, and continued progress in regulatory compliance, YUBIT is building toward a trading experience where users no longer have to choose between crypto and traditional markets but can access both from one platform.
About YUBIT
YUBIT is a global cryptocurrency centralized exchange founded in 2020, offering over 1,000 crypto and TradFi markets, including CFDs on stocks, indices, forex, metals and commodities, with deep liquidity across a wide range of digital assets.

California CPS and Juvenile Dependency Attorney Lauren Johnson-Norris Marks 24 Years Representing Parents and Families
ORANGE COUNTY, CalifJohnson Criminal Law Group founder has served as appellate counsel in three published California dependency decisions
Johnson Criminal Law Group founder has served as appellate counsel in three published California dependency decisions
ORANGE COUNTY, Calif
California attorney Lauren Johnson-Norris, founder of Johnson Criminal Law Group, marks 24 years representing parents and families in Child Protective Services investigations, juvenile dependency court proceedings, and dependency appeals. Over her career she has handled more than 2,500 juvenile dependency matters and more than 1,000 dependency appeals, and has served as appellate counsel in three published Court of Appeal decisions.

Her practice covers representation during CPS and child abuse investigations, defending parents in proceedings under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, litigating removal and reunification issues, handling Child Abuse Central Index grievance hearings, and representing clients on appeal throughout the state.
“Dependency cases are unlike almost any other area of law because parents can be dealing simultaneously with a CPS investigation, allegations of abuse or neglect, removal of their children, a dependency court case, and sometimes a related criminal investigation,” Johnson-Norris said. “Effective representation requires understanding not just dependency law, but how decisions made at the very beginning of an investigation can affect a family throughout the case.”
Published Decisions
A published Court of Appeal opinion becomes precedent that can be cited in future cases, which makes it a meaningful marker of appellate work. Johnson-Norris has served as appellate counsel in three such decisions:
In re Drake M. (Cal. Ct. App., 2nd Dist., No. B236769, Dec. 5, 2012), where she obtained reversal of a juvenile court jurisdictional finding for her client.
In re D.P. (Cal. Ct. App., 3rd Dist., Nos. C093132/C093535, Mar. 10, 2022), where she obtained reversal of an order terminating her client’s parental rights.
In re Priscilla D. (Cal. Ct. App., 5th Dist., No. F069317, Mar. 4, 2015), where she served as appellate counsel in the published decision.
Together, the three cases reflect experience on both the trial and appellate sides of California’s dependency system.
CPS Investigations and Court Representation
Johnson Criminal Law Group represents parents, guardians, relatives, and caregivers involved with California child welfare agencies in matters involving allegations of abuse, neglect, domestic violence, substance use, mental health concerns, and failure to protect. The firm’s work spans pre-filing investigations, detention and jurisdiction hearings, disposition hearings, reunification and review proceedings, contested evidentiary hearings, termination of parental rights proceedings, and appeals.
Johnson-Norris’s background in both criminal defense and dependency law becomes especially relevant when a CPS investigation runs alongside a criminal one. “A parent can make a statement to a social worker believing they’re simply cooperating with CPS, without realizing the same allegation may also be under investigation by law enforcement,” she said. “Those overlapping cases require careful coordination, because a decision made in one proceeding can carry real consequences in the other.”
Child Abuse Central Index Hearings
The firm also represents clients across Southern California in Child Abuse Central Index grievance hearings. CACI is the state’s index of substantiated child abuse and severe neglect reports, and a person can be listed following a county investigation even without a criminal conviction. At a grievance hearing, Johnson-Norris challenges the evidence behind the county’s finding and seeks to have the listing removed.
More Than Two Decades in Practice
Johnson-Norris began practicing California juvenile dependency law in 2002 and founded Johnson Criminal Law Group in September 2009. In total, the firm’s attorneys have handled more than 30,000 legal matters and now represent families in Orange, Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties, with an appellate practice that handles juvenile dependency appeals from courts statewide.
Johnson-Norris has been selected to Super Lawyers eight times and was recently named Face of Criminal Law by Orange Coast Magazine. She continues to personally handle dependency and CPS matters, while the firm’s appellate work has grown to include a dedicated appellate attorney, allowing the practice to represent a family from the earliest stages of an investigation through trial and, when needed, appeal.
About Lauren Johnson-Norris
Lauren Johnson-Norris is a California CPS defense, juvenile dependency, CACI, and criminal defense attorney with 24 years of experience. She is the founding attorney of Johnson Criminal Law Group, has handled more than 2,500 juvenile dependency matters and 1,000 dependency appeals, and has served as appellate counsel in three published California dependency decisions.
About Johnson Criminal Law Group
Johnson Criminal Law Group is a Southern California law firm representing clients in CPS investigations, juvenile dependency proceedings, CACI grievance hearings, dependency appeals, and criminal defense. Founded by Lauren Johnson-Norris in 2009, the firm serves Orange, Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties and handles dependency appeals throughout California. Services are available in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese.

Sun West Mortgage Company and AngelAi Unveil Angel Agents: Your Next Hire Will Be an AI Agent
New York, USASun West Mortgage Company and AngelAi have officially announced the launch of Angel Agents, a proprietary enterprise architecture designed to solve a persistent hurdle in modern business technology.

New York, USA
Sun West Mortgage Company and AngelAi have officially announced the launch of Angel Agents, a proprietary enterprise architecture designed to solve a persistent hurdle in modern business technology. Historically, organizations struggled to provide personalized, constantly available artificial intelligence to thousands of users without incurring exorbitant infrastructure costs or operational complexities.
Built upon the OpenClaw platform, the Angel Agents framework introduces a highly efficient multi-tenant deployment model. Thousands of users can securely share a single system while keeping their individual data completely private. This innovative approach eliminates the prohibitive expenses and severe operational challenges traditionally associated with isolated, single-tenant AI deployments.
Deploying a personal Angel Agent is remarkably rapid, requiring approximately sixty seconds from sign-up to a fully functional state. The streamlined setup process requires no hardware installations, IT department intervention, or prior software experience.
“With our new Angel Agents architecture, we have shattered that barrier,” said Pavan Agarwal, CEO of Sun West Mortgage Company and Creator of AngelAI. By integrating a secure framework, the company is successfully democratizing access to high-level artificial intelligence.

Getting started with this new technology is just as simple as the architecture is powerful. The deployment process for an individual Angel Agent is remarkably rapid, requiring approximately sixty seconds from sign-up to a fully functional state. Furthermore, this streamlined setup process does not require the user to have any hardware installations, nor does it necessitate intervention from an IT department or any prior experience with artificial intelligence or software development. Anyone can go from sign-up to a fully working AI agent in about the time it takes to read this sentence.
Accelerating Innovation: Angel Agents Capabilities
The architectural strategy underpinning Angel Agents relies on a robust technological foundation fully actualized in the recent AngelAI Version Sena release. The system acts as a powerful analytical tool, allowing users to seamlessly monitor news cycles, evaluate real estate markets, and deeply research competitors and emerging business opportunities.
Professionals can leverage the agent to construct long-term growth strategies, formulate business plans, and develop targeted marketing content, including social media posts, bios, and buyer/seller presentations. To enhance daily productivity, the software tracks milestones, creates detailed action plans, and manages user priorities with automated reminders to prevent overload. Furthermore, it serves as an AI coach to help users prepare meticulously for high-stakes client conversations.
In the realm of research and strategic intelligence, the system serves as a powerful analytical tool. The AI can thoroughly analyze real estate markets, monitor industry trends, and evaluate competitors. Users can rely on the agent to seamlessly monitor news cycles, provide concise summaries, and deeply research various neighborhoods and emerging business opportunities. When it comes to planning, users can leverage the agent to formulate comprehensive business plans, construct long-term growth strategies, and establish detailed weekly execution schedules.
The Sena release also transforms marketing and content creation. The artificial intelligence can instantly generate compelling social media posts and captions, write polished professional bios and brand messaging, and develop highly targeted presentations tailored for both buyers and sellers. To drive tangible business growth, the platform aids professionals in creating strategic lead generation plans, designing broad outreach campaigns, and drafting effective communication scripts. Furthermore, the system acts as an AI coach, answering complex inquiries to provide expert guidance and helping users prepare meticulously for high-stakes client conversations.
To ensure ultimate efficiency, the software fundamentally enhances daily productivity and organization. Individuals can utilize the tool to create detailed daily action plans while diligently tracking milestones, metrics, and long-term goals. The agent is also uniquely adept at local and online discovery, easily identifying local events, nearby businesses, vendors, and essential services. Through proactive assistance, the software tracks user priorities to prevent overload and provides essential follow-up support and automated reminders.
Precision Financial Decision-Making
In the highly regulated context of lending, the Sena release provides substantial enhancements in both accuracy and speed via an uncertainty-aware decision framework. This sophisticated system understands the uncertainty inherent in the real world (what humans perceive as intuition) and constantly assesses its own confidence level regarding a specific determination. Consequently, AngelAi refrains from issuing a speculative response and seamlessly executes augmented intelligence algorithms which integrate real-time human consultants.
This high level of reliability is facilitated by the Transactional Language Model (TLM) architecture developed by Celligence. Rather than simply predicting text, this architecture reasons at the fundamental level of investor rules, borrower context, guidelines, overlays, and underlying concepts. Consequently, the artificial intelligence produces reproducible, traceable, and deterministic decision paths that are perfectly suited for rigorous audit standards.
“The future of Ai is about having one trusted intelligence that understands your world, learns your needs, and helps you make better decisions every day,” said Pavan Agarwal, Founder and CEO of Celligence LLC. Early adopter Charles La Flair reported that working with an Angel Agent led to an immediate surge in business efficiency, allowing for dramatically shorter timelines and faster execution.
“The level of efficiency in my business surged almost immediately,” said Charles La Flair (NMLS 220926) of All in Lending (NMLS 1935005), an early user. “Once you know what you want to do, you simply work with your Angel Agent to achieve it in way shorter timelines, leading to faster execution.”

Availability & Deployment
Sena is now available. Managed and secure Angel Agent deployments typically will go live within minutes and require zero in-house engineering staff or long-term contracts. Access is granted through the platform’s flexible Angel Points system rather than a standard cash subscription model, giving businesses an agile, scalable path to adoption. Since users can earn Angel Points as rewards for simply using the system, Angel Agents will not cost anything for most customers.
The latest release of AngelAi takes its name, Sena (सेना), from the Sanskrit word Astasena (अष्टसेना or 八部衆 in Japanese), a reference to a protective and divine army of Angels in Buddhism.
