VANCOUVER, BC, March 11, 2026 /CNW/ - Intellistake Technologies Corp. (CSE: ISTK) (OTCQB: ISTKF) (FSE: E41) ("Intellistake" or the "Company"),  is pleased to provide an operational update regarding its AI software contract with PowerBank Corporation ("PowerBank").

This update relates to the previously announced C$278,000 AI software contract dated February 5, 2026, under which Intellistake is building and deploying AI agent platforms including a public-facing AI communications system and IntelliScope, its internal multi-agent business intelligence framework (see prior press release).

Development Phase Completed

The Company has completed the development and system configuration phase of the public-facing AI communications agent. The platform has now been delivered into PowerBank's internal environment for formal validation and controlled testing.

Following completion of this internal review stage, production integration into PowerBank's website environment is anticipated.

Jason Dussault, CEO of Intellistake, commented:

"I believe structured AI systems have the potential to become standard infrastructure for public companies. The ability to manage information access in a controlled, intelligent way is very important.  What's particularly important here is the articulation of real-time public company data in a clear and structured format. For PowerBank, this means improved consistency in how information is accessed, greater visibility into engagement patterns, and a more efficient internal workflow around public disclosures. As regulatory and disclosure environments continue to evolve, we expect structured AI architectures like this to play an increasingly important role in how companies manage and present information."

Internal Review and Pre-Deployment Validation

The current phase involves structured internal testing, response evaluation, and refinement prior to full production integration.

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

"Transitioning into internal review is a critical validation stage. The system architecture has been designed to operate within defined disclosure parameters while remaining responsive and context-aware. This phase allows for real-world calibration inside PowerBank's operating environment before public deployment."

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

"We've seen the system demonstrated in action prior to internal review, and it's clear the platform has been carefully architected. The way it structures and surfaces up-to-date company information has the potential to support more efficient internal workflows and clearer external engagement. The validation phase allows us to assess it within our own operating environment before deployment, and we are confident as we move toward integration."

Upon completion of internal validation, the system is expected to proceed to production deployment within PowerBank's website environment, followed by ongoing support.

IntelliScope Development Progress

In parallel, development continues on IntelliScope, Intellistake's bespoke internal multi-agent business intelligence framework for PowerBank. The platform remains on schedule within the broader contracted engagement.

Following completion of this internal review stage, production integration into PowerBank's website environment is anticipated. The internal validation phase is expected to be completed in the coming weeks subject to the risk that completion is delayed for technical reasons or availability of personnel.
