VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 5, 2026 /CNW/ - Intellistake Technologies Corp. (CSE: ISTK) (OTCQB: ISTKF) (FSE: E41) ("Intellistake" or the "Company"), today announces that it has entered into a contract with PowerBank Corporation ("PowerBank") following the successful completion of a closed beta program. Under the agreement, Intellistake will build and deploy two AI agent platforms for PowerBank, including IntelliScope, the Company's bespoke business intelligence platform.

The combined Year 1 value of the two contracted platforms is approximately CA$278,000, representing the Canadian dollar equivalent of the contracted U.S. dollar amounts*. The agreement includes initial implementation and subscription services, with the option to extend into an ongoing multi-year subscription, subject to mutual agreement.

The contracts dated February 4, 2026 include the build and deployment of two AI agent platforms:

(i) A public-facing AI communications agent designed to support structured external engagement.

(ii) IntelliScope, a bespoke internal multi-agent business intelligence framework intended to support operational workflows across PowerBank's organization.

Both platforms completed approximately three months of proof-of-concept development during a closed beta phase. Following internal demonstrations and technical review, Intellistake and PowerBank have now entered into a contracted Phase 1 build and deployment, covering the delivery of minimum viable products ("MVPs") and initial production rollout.

The public-facing AI communications agent is being developed as a secure interface embedded within PowerBank's website, enabling controlled natural language access to verified public disclosures and structured, auditable responses to external enquiries. The platform is also intended to generate analytics reports that provide visibility into engagement patterns, frequently accessed topics, and usage trends, supporting internal review and reporting.

In parallel, Intellistake is deploying IntelliScope as a bespoke internal business intelligence platform, configured for PowerBank's operational workflows. The system's first application focuses on renewable energy development in the United States, equipping PowerBank with analytical intelligence to identify optimal project sites, evaluate federal and state grant eligibility, and assess regulatory conditions and sector-specific sentiment across energy subsectors. IntelliScope is designed to consolidate fragmented data sources into a single intelligence layer, supporting faster and more informed decision-making.

Jason Dussault, CEO of Intellistake, commented:

"Over the past three months, Intellistake has worked alongside PowerBank to design, test, and prepare these systems for live deployment. This engagement has been built through close collaboration, and we're confident in the systems being delivered into PowerBank's operating environment. This marks a meaningful step forward for the Company as we continue to execute on one of our core business pillars."

Liam Harpur, VP of Technology and Development at Intellistake, added:

"From a technical perspective, the focus was on validating AI system performance, data integrity, and compliance controls within a real enterprise environment. The architecture we've built provides a solid foundation that can now be deployed reliably at an enterprise level."

Dr. Richard Lu, CEO of PowerBank Corporation., commented:

"The closed beta demonstrated how these systems can support clearer and more informed decision-making across our business. These contracts allow us to move forward with deployment, and we're looking forward to seeing how these tools are applied across both our external communications and internal operations."

The deployment of these platforms reflects Intellistake's strategy as a technology company building enterprise AI systems for both external communications and internal decision-making. Together, the implementations demonstrate how modular AI architectures can be applied across regulated and data-intensive environments.

The deployment of IntelliScope reinforces Intellistake's long-term objective to enable transparent, data-driven decision-making for enterprises through AI infrastructure, while maintaining the control and flexibility required for real-world operations.

The contract includes implementation work and ongoing platform services, supporting the commencement of enterprise AI software revenue. The Company expects to provide further updates as deployment milestones are achieved.

Subject to stock exchange approval, PowerBank intends to settle the payment for the agreements through the issuance of 121,723 common shares at a deemed price of $2.29 per common share.

The Company and PowerBank have a common director in Mr. Paul Sparkes. Mr. Sparkes did not participate in the negotiation or approval process for this transaction.

*U.S. dollar amounts have been converted to Canadian dollars at a rate of US$1.00:C$1.3652.
