Intellistake Marks Enterprise Milestone with IntelliScope AI Agent Platform Deployment on Sovereign Infrastructure for PowerBank

Key Highlights:

• Intellistake Technologies Corp. (CSE: ISTK) (OTCQB: ISTKF) (FSE: E41) marks an enterprise contract milestone with the deployment of IntelliScope, its enterprise AI agent platform for internal business intelligence, onto its new sovereign AI infrastructure. The first instance is being configured for PowerBank Corporation (NASDAQ: SUUN).
  
  
• The infrastructure is purpose-built for AI, reserved exclusively for Intellistake, and operated independently of the major U.S. cloud providers. It reflects the Company's strategy of running its enterprise products on decentralized infrastructure that gives clients greater control over their data.
  
  
• Hosted in Sweden by a Swiss-incorporated provider, the infrastructure sits outside the jurisdictional reach of the U.S. CLOUD Act and runs on 100% renewable energy.
  
  
• IntelliScope is the first enterprise workload running on the dedicated capacity, and is the second major deliverable in motion under the previously announced C$278,000 PowerBank engagement, following the April 8, 2026 production go-live of the AI-powered investor relations assistant on PowerBank's corporate website.

VANCOUVER, BC, May 6, 2026 /CNW/ - Intellistake Technologies Corp. (CSE: ISTK) (OTCQB: ISTKF) (FSE: E41) ("Intellistake" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has marked an enterprise contract milestone with the deployment of IntelliScope, its enterprise AI agent platform for internal business intelligence, onto its new sovereign AI infrastructure. The first instance of the platform is being configured for PowerBank Corporation ("PowerBank") (NASDAQ: SUUN) under the previously announced C$278,000 AI software contract.

The deployment activates the dedicated AI compute capacity Intellistake recently secured through its services agreement with Singularity Compute, the independent AI infrastructure arm of SingularityNET previously announced here. IntelliScope is the first enterprise workload to run on the new environment, and the deployment delivers on the next phase of the engagement.

A Shift in Enterprise AI Infrastructure

Most enterprise AI today runs on a small number of large U.S. cloud platforms. That concentration creates two challenges for the businesses that use them: limited control over how sensitive data is processed, and exposure to U.S. legislation such as the CLOUD Act regardless of where the client is based.

Decentralized infrastructure is designed to address both. It removes dependence on a single dominant provider, gives clients clearer ownership over how their data is processed, and allows enterprises to choose the jurisdiction their information sits in. For Intellistake, this infrastructure is intended to support the Company's enterprise AI products with dedicated capacity reserved for its own use, controlled data positioning in a sovereign jurisdiction, and infrastructure that is purpose-built for AI rather than rented from general-purpose cloud platforms.

A New Standard for Enterprise AI Adoption

IntelliScope is Intellistake's enterprise AI agent platform for internal business intelligence, designed to be configured to the specific operations of each client. It is built to automate routine reporting work, surface patterns and insights from across operational systems, and give leadership faster, clearer answers to the questions that drive day-to-day decision making. Operating on dedicated, sovereign infrastructure, the platform is designed to deliver these capabilities without sensitive data leaving the client's controlled environment.

PowerBank is the first client deployment, with IntelliScope being tailored to PowerBank's internal workflows. Intellistake intends to bring the same combination of bespoke enterprise AI agents and dedicated, sovereign infrastructure to additional public-market and enterprise clients seeking to integrate AI into their internal operations without compromising on data sovereignty.

Jason Dussault, CEO of Intellistake, commented:

"This is a milestone we have been working toward, and we are delivering on it. This is our strategy in action: building decentralized AI solutions for our clients, and delivering on what we set out to do. There is a clear shift underway in how AI infrastructure is being built and used, and decentralization sits at the heart of that shift. For traditional businesses, the appeal is straightforward: greater control over your own data, fewer intermediaries between you and the systems running your operations, and the ability to choose the jurisdiction your information sits in. The combination of dedicated performance, sovereign data positioning, and renewable-powered hosting is the standard we believe public-market enterprise clients should be able to expect, and it is the standard we are working to."

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

"Running enterprise AI on dedicated infrastructure changes what is possible from an engineering standpoint. Shared cloud capacity is unpredictable under load, which makes it harder to build systems that perform consistently. Operating IntelliScope on reserved sovereign compute means we can engineer the platform around reliable performance from the outset. With the environment now in place for PowerBank, we look forward to providing further updates as IntelliScope progresses through its development milestones."

Matt Wayrynen, Executive Chairman and Director of PowerBank Corporation, commented:

"The Intellistake team walked us through IntelliScope in its new environment, and what they have built is genuinely impressive. The platform is being shaped around the way we actually work, and the underlying infrastructure gives us the kind of control over our data that a public company in our position should expect. We look forward to seeing IntelliScope progress through to full deployment."

Engagement Status

IntelliScope remains on schedule as the second major deliverable under the C$278,000 PowerBank engagement, following the April 8, 2026 production go-live of the AI-powered investor relations assistant on PowerBank's corporate website. Further updates are expected as development milestones are reached.
