Orbit's Agent Builder addresses a persistent bottleneck in institutional AI adoption: getting a research platform to do exactly what a team needs. Until now, customizing an agent for a specific workflow (a stock screen, a company scorecard, or ongoing sector and competitor analysis) required a consulting engagement, a lengthy specification process, and weeks of iteration. Agent Builder condenses that cycle into a single session, whilst providing the flexibility to tweak and amend to ensure the highest levels of accuracy.

"Investment teams are constantly asking for the flexibility to define their own research workflows without waiting on a vendor. Orbit's Agent Builder gives them exactly that, built natively into the platform they already use," said Da Wei, Founder & CEO of Orbit.

How it works

Every Orbit agent has two components. The first transforms the user's requirement into a configurable, structured data extraction that runs on the back end. The second produces any number of reports from that single structured dataset. Users review the logic at every layer, edit it, and rerun on demand.

Each agent can pull from Orbit's Knowledge Base datasets, the user's connected internal data, or both. The user selects the combination at build time.

MCP-native by default

Every agent created in Orbit Insight automatically becomes an MCP endpoint for that user. Teams using Claude, ChatGPT Enterprise, or their own internal copilots can connect directly to a specific agent. The same data flows out via the API in the same self-service way.

Inside the Agent Marketplace

The Agent Builder lives inside Orbit Insight and the Agent Marketplace, the platform's library of off-the-shelf agents covering earnings analysis, concept screening, peer benchmarking, ESG scoring, thematic analysis, news flow tracker and more. With this launch, the Marketplace gains a new section for each user's personal library of agents they have built themselves.

The closed-door event featured a decommissioned scrap vehicle marked with common ownership expenses including S$100,000 COE, road tax, insurance, car repairs, and depreciation, which participants were invited to smash.

The session serves as the centrepiece of GetGo's latest "Smash the $100k Burden. Reclaim your Freedom to Drive." campaign. The campaign spans a closed-door activation, in-house social content, and partnerships with content creators such as Samuel Foo (also known as @clbsam) and Benjamin Wong (@benwhoah), all working in concert to drive awareness of Singapore's car ownership burden and advocate for carsharing as a sustainable alternative.

Singapore's COE prices have surged from S$35,000 in 2020 to $124,790[1] today for a Category A vehicle. COE alone now exceeds Singapore's median annual salary[2]. Factoring in the full 10-year commitment of vehicle purchase price, road tax, insurance, car repairs, parking, petrol and ERP charges, the true cost of owning a Toyota Corolla Altis balloons to approximately $244,000 over 10 years, or approximately $2,033 per month[3]. As a result, only one in three Singapore households owns a car today. And two in three simply cannot afford to.

GetGo's point A to A carsharing model allows Singaporeans to access a vehicle for as little as $3 an hour — with no membership fees, no deposits, and no long-term commitment. Fuel, maintenance, and insurance are included in every booking. With over 3,000 vehicles across more than 1,700 locations, including most HDB carparks — a GetGo car is typically within five minutes' walking distance from home. More than 500,000 registered drivers have already made the switch, completing over eight million bookings by April 2026 since its inception in 2021.

"A S$100,000 COE is a barrier that locks the majority of Singaporeans out of driving. We created this campaign to advocate for a more sustainable mobility option that allows Singaporeans to have access to a car when needed without having to take on the burden of owning one. Smashing a car labelled with the real costs of ownership, including the $100k COE, road tax, depreciation, and car repairs, is symbolic of what we believe: that you shouldn't have to carry a decade-long financial commitment just to have the Freedom to Drive. GetGo's mission has always been to give that Freedom to Drive wherever and whenever they need one, without the ownership burden."

— Johnson Lim, Co-founder & Chief Marketing Officer, GetGo

The event, titled "Smash the $100k Burden. Reclaim your Freedom to Drive." invited media partners and content creators to take a swing at a scrap car labelled with the costs of car ownership, each strike symbolic of breaking free from the financial weight that ownership places on Singaporeans. Beyond the smash, attendees captured content on the ground, translating GetGo's message into something you could feel, not just read about.

GetGo, Singapore's 24/7 carsharing service, is available for bookings on the GetGo App: https://getgo.sg/download-the-app/

The financial stakes of navigating these barriers are significant. Vistra's data shows that technology sectors including high-tech software, hardware and IT services, accounted for $11.6 million in marketing-sourced revenue, or more than 26% of total intake, as firms aggressively pursued regional corridors. However, the cost of friction remains high: 54% of all new regional activity is driven by Entity Management Services (EMS) and statutory compliance, confirming that administrative hurdles remain the primary drag on capital flow

The report assesses 12 markets across APAC and the Middle East through two complementary lenses: a Market Attractiveness Scorecard, evaluating structural pull factors such as economic resilience and demographic fundamentals, and a Friction Index, measuring push factors including regulatory complexity, tax regimes, and data transparency gaps. Together, they give businesses a data-driven guide to aligning growth ambitions with on-the-ground execution realities.

"What the Vistra Friction Index makes clear is that the businesses set to win in Asia-Pacific are those that stop treating complexity as a problem to solve and start treating it as a position to hold," said Melanie Leydin, Executive Vice President, Global Solutions, South East Asia. "When you understand friction at the operational level – the regulatory sequencing, the governance structures, the talent dynamics – you stop reacting and start leading. That's the competitive edge this report is designed to give."

The Index identifies a shift in corporate behaviour: organisations are moving from defensive risk mitigation to adaptive planning. Rather than retreating from friction-heavy environments, firms are adopting three distinct pathways: absorbing higher costs to preserve optionality (such as using Employer of Record models over permanent entities), accepting higher risk to maintain speed in time-sensitive sectors like semiconductors, or prioritising governance and resilience over rapid scaling to ensure long-term stability.

The Opportunity-Friction Quadrant: Four strategies for growth

The report's signature Opportunity-Friction Quadrant categorises 12 markets across four strategic profiles, each requiring a different approach to entry, investment and operational design.

• Fast-Track Markets, including Singapore, Australia, and Hong Kong SAR, offer the clearest path for businesses prioritising speed. Streamlined regulation and deep talent pools keep execution risk low, allowing companies to scale with confidence.
• Competitive Advantage Markets, including Vietnam, Indonesia, and Chinese Mainland, combine high growth potential with significant operational demands: multi-step regulatory processes, complex labour laws, and data transparency gaps. Entry requires careful sequencing and a long-term view, but operational mastery in these markets ultimately becomes a barrier to entry for less prepared competitors. "Execution strategies in these markets benefit from a deliberate yet proactive approach," the report says. "Companies should move forward without waiting for perfect clarity, as policy environments rarely reach full transparency."
• Efficiency Markets such as Korea and Japan suit businesses looking to optimise existing operations or consolidate a regional footprint rather than pursue aggressive expansion.
• Precision Entry Markets, including Thailand, call for the most selective approach. High friction and lower structural attractiveness mean entry should be driven by a specific strategic rationale, not broad growth ambition.

Across all four quadrants, the conclusion is the same: successful expansion in Asia-Pacific requires aligning your operating model to the market, not the other way around.

Market rankings and key sector insights

The research surfaces findings that will challenge assumptions among business leaders across the region. Singapore is the most operationally efficient market, followed by Australia and Hong Kong SAR. At the other end of the spectrum, Thailand, followed by Vietnam, Indonesia and Chinese Mainland are among the markets with the most friction, reflecting the multi-step regulatory processes and complex labour laws present in these locations.

However, while Singapore is the easiest market to enter, it is also the most talent constrained. The Ministry of Manpower's data highlights that there are 164 open tech jobs for every 100 qualified seekers, creating a major bottleneck and driving up to 25% wage premium for critical roles in AI, cloud, and cybersecurity.

"The data tells a story that will surprise many boardrooms," said Tiffany Lim, Market Lead, Singapore and ASEAN. "While markets like Vietnam offer immense growth attractiveness, they come with high operational friction. Singapore's unparalleled efficiency is where the opportunity lies. As firms battle acute talent crunches and new compliance burdens related to data governance, cybersecurity and digital-platform regulation, Singapore's low-friction environment makes it the ideal control tower. Firms that can mitigate these challenges will be best positioned to scale operations across Southeast Asia."

The Vistra Friction Index demonstrates that in an increasingly complex global landscape, the ability to manage operational friction effectively is the new competitive differentiator for successful global expansion.

Every major AI lab has launched agents in the past twelve months. The result is fragmentation reaching every enterprise: agents from three or four providers running with no coherent recruitment, onboarding, audit or management path across them. There is no Workday for AI agents. agnt8x is the neutral layer above the providers.

The platform is built on five pillars. FIND is an ontological job board matching agents to roles. FORGE is a private enterprise catalogue for onboarding a company's own agents. STUDIO is a nine-step onboarding flow. MANAGE is the workforce control plane: real-time profit and loss per agent, alignment monitoring, full audit trail, and unified billing across every provider, memory layer and per-task call. CONDUCTOR orchestrates multi-agent teams across providers on one canvas, a capability no other platform has built.

agnt8x is a two-sided marketplace. Alongside the enterprise platform, an independent global builder marketplace lets developers anywhere publish and monetise the agents and apps they create, matched to the companies that need them and earning recurring monthly revenue for as long as they run. Builder supply is live in production today.

agnt8x ships in three modes, the same agents across all three: SaaS for start-ups through mid-market; Tenant Workspace, a single-tenant deployment for larger enterprises; and EMBASSY, the full platform inside the customer's own VPC with zero agnt8x access to runtime data, for systemically important institutions and government. agnt8x or Bring-Your-Own-Keys at every tier.

agnt8x today also published the EightX Agent Manifest (EAM) v0.1 under the Apache 2.0 open-source licence: an open specification for portable agent definition, so an agent compiles to every major runtime and is never locked to a single provider.

Open by design extends beyond the agent. agnt8x is engaging with the leading bodies defining how agents prove who they are and pay one another, and intends to align the Passport with the emerging open standards for agentic identity and settlement, with more to say in the coming weeks. Recruitment is only the first chapter: agnt8x is built for agent-to-agent commerce across sectors well beyond financial services, including scarce, high-demand resources such as AI compute, advanced computational and quantum capacity, and verified environmental assets including carbon-removal instruments.

"Every company will have an AI workforce, and right now there is no system to run it," said John Shipman, Founder and CEO of EightX Labs. "agnt8x is the recruitment and management layer above the AI providers, built to grow the business, run operations, and govern the workforce with real accountability. And once agents can be trusted to act, the next step is letting them transact, across sectors, on open standards and rails no single company controls. Your next hire isn't human, and it should be recruited, onboarded, paid and managed with the same discipline as any other member of your team."

EightX Labs is chaired by David Puth, former Chief Executive of Centre Consortium and of CLS Bank. The company was founded by John Shipman, Chief Executive Officer, PwC's first global Digital Assets Leader and former Chief Technology Officer and Chief Operating Officer of a leading Australian wealth manager. Co-founder Michael Harte is a former Group CIO and COO at three global banks. agnt8x is live now at agnt8x.ai.

The Singapore lab will complement the Johor, Malaysia AI training and data collection facility YY Group announced in April. Both facilities will capture structured, real-world human activity data – drawing on the Company's network of over 500,000 workers across hospitality, food and beverage, facility maintenance, security and other service roles – and use that data to train and refine service robots for deployment alongside human workers in live service environments. The Singapore lab, which will operate on NVIDIA accelerated computing technology, will also serve as an exhibition space for client demonstrations.

To augment its training data capture and transition these robotic capabilities from the lab to the market, the Company is partnering with a prominent shopping mall and luxury hotel in Singapore to pilot humanoid robot deployments in real-world service settings. They will work side-by-side with human professionals, allowing the Company to gather operational data and physical-interaction telemetry to further refine robots' spatial awareness and task performance while also increasing human teams' efficiency.

Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer of YY Group, commented: "Our Human-Robot Co-Working framework is built on a simple principle: robots handle repetitive and physically demanding tasks while human workers focus on higher-value service. With the Johor facility, Singapore lab and pilot deployments underway, we are not just training robots; we are building a collaborative ecosystem where human expertise and robotic precision benefit one another. We are turning a unique data advantage – a network of more than 500,000 workers across 12 countries – into a new generation of AI-enhanced workforce solutions that can be replicated at scale, tapping into higher-margin revenue opportunities while creating value for human workers and operators alike."

The Company's AI training data and automation initiatives advance the Agentic and Robotic Automation module of the four-module AI framework the Company outlined in its May 11, 2026 Strategic Update, positioning YY Group to serve clients with hybrid workforce models that combine human talent and automation to address chronic labor shortages, and to supply structured real-world datasets to technology companies developing robotics and AI systems. Consistent with the disciplined capital approach reaffirmed in the Strategic Update, these initiatives are supported by the Company's existing resources and do not alter its FY2026 revenue guidance of US$103 million to US$110 million or its path to profitability.

A Tripartite Architecture: Solving the Challenge of Global Process Consistency

As Generative AI and Physical AI accelerate their penetration into the industrial sector, multinational corporations face critical hurdles in maintaining "global quality consistency" and "technical knowledge transfer." Jason Wu, CIO of Cooler Master, stated: "For more than 30 years, Cooler Master has accumulated deep expertise in thermal engineering and manufacturing operations. Our vision is to transform this experience from individual know-how into scalable enterprise intelligence.

Through AI agents, digital twins, and global data integration, we are building a manufacturing platform that continuously learns, evolves, and enables faster global execution."

To achieve this, Spingence built an automated, continuously-learning feedback mechanism powered by Three Computers for physical AI:

• Training Computer: AI models are trained using decades of thermal engineering expertise, process knowledge, production data, and defect samples accumulated across global operations.
• Inference Computer: AI agents and inference systems are deployed directly on manufacturing lines worldwide, enabling real-time visual inspection, anomaly detection, operational assistance, and decision support.
• Digital Twin Computer: Using digital twins and virtual factory simulation, production line changes and factory optimization scenarios can be validated virtually before physical deployment, creating a continuous feedback loop between simulation and real-world manufacturing. When real training is limited, synthetic data generation is critical for accelerating model training time and accuracy.

Together, these three layers establish a closed-loop AI ecosystem capable of continuously improving production quality, operational efficiency, and global process standardization.

Integrating Software and Hardware to Realize the Value of Physical AI

Spingence integrated its AINavi AI defect detection platform, Edgestar enterprise on-premise LLM cluster management platform, and SpinZone digital twin platform to help Cooler Master build a robust AI infrastructure. Using the NVIDIA Factory Operations Blueprint (FOX), Spingence is building a centralized factory manager agent that connects, fine-tunes, and operates a diverse set of agents and applications to enable faster global execution.

Based on production data from Cooler Master factories, the transformation has yielded significant results:

1. Automated Quality Management with AINavi: Implementing NVIDIA Defect Image Generation skill, NVIDIA Cosmos, and NVIDIA TAO for synthetic data generation and model fine-tuning achieved a 99.6% defect detection rate, increased inspection capacity by 3x, and reduced the escape rate by 78%.
2. 100x R&D Efficiency: Utilizing NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo surrogate models, thermal simulation verification speeds increased a hundredfold, shortening sample development cycles by 60% and unifying inspection standards globally.
3. Digital Twin-Optimized Reconfiguration with SpinZone: Through NVIDIA Omniverse libraries and NVIDIA Isaac, an open robotics platform, production line reconfiguration—which previously took weeks—was reduced to days, lowering trial-and-error costs by 50% and significantly reducing downtime losses.

These workloads can run on NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition or NVIDIA FGX. a purpose-built industrial computing platform designed to support a multi-agent system for robotic factory operations.

From Manufacturing to Decision-Making: Building a 24/7 Knowledge System

Beyond shop floor optimization, Cooler Master is simultaneously driving a transformation in knowledge management. By integrating NVIDIA NeMo Curator, NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails , and the Edgestar platform, the time required to generate process reports has been slashed from hours to minutes. This establishes a 24-hour AI decision-support system, ensuring corporate intelligence can respond to market changes in real time.

Chen Ching-Wei, Founder and CEO of Spingence, noted: "The key to successful AI transformation lies in whether the technology truly fits existing factory workflows. Our partnership with Cooler Master empowers AI to grow alongside the enterprise, creating a feedback loop that makes the AI system smarter over time."

Looking ahead, Spingence and Cooler Master will continue to deepen their collaboration, extending AI applications to intelligent supply chain decision-making and dynamic cross-plant resource scheduling, leading the global manufacturing industry toward becoming AI-native enterprises.

The trial previously demonstrated that semaglutide reduced the risk of major kidney disease events by 24% and all-cause mortality by 20% compared with placebo over a median treatment duration of 3.4 years. This new analysis provides complementary patient-centred evidence, showing that the benefits of semaglutide may extend beyond traditional clinical outcomes to how patients feel and function in everyday life.

For people living with both T2D and CKD, symptoms, treatment burden and reduced physical functioning can substantially affect day-to-day well-being, making quality of life an increasingly important treatment goal.

Among 3,533 randomised participants in the FLOW trial, 1,767 received semaglutide and 1,766 received placebo. Health-related quality of life was assessed using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire, a patient-reported measure of health status and well-being covering mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression, and overall health perception.

After two years of treatment, health utility scores – which range from 0 (death) to 1 (perfect health) – remained stable in the semaglutide group but declined in those receiving placebo. The estimated treatment difference of +0.021 (p=0.0001) corresponded to approximately eight additional days per year spent in full health.

Self-rated general health scores also improved with semaglutide but worsened with placebo, with a significant treatment difference of +2.15 (p<0.0001), again becoming worse over time with placebo while stable on semaglutide.

Four of the five areas assessed by the questionnaire (mobility, self-care, usual activities, and pain/discomfort) improved significantly with semaglutide compared with placebo. No significant difference was observed in anxiety/depression. Benefits were broadly consistent across patient subgroups.

"We were surprised by the extent of the quality-of-life benefits seen with semaglutide, because they were not only clinically meaningful but consistently experienced across multiple aspects of daily life, including physical functioning and overall well-being," said Professor Johannes Mann, study lead author.

"We were uncertain about quality-of-life outcomes because gastrointestinal side effects are common with GLP-1 receptor agonists," Prof. Mann furthered. "Our findings confirm that the benefits of semaglutide in chronic kidney disease extend beyond traditional clinical endpoints to subjective outcomes that matter directly to patients."
