VANCOUVER, BC, April 8, 2026 /CNW/ - Intellistake Technologies Corp. (CSE: ISTK) (OTCQB: ISTKF) (FSE: E41) ("Intellistake" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce the completion of the first major deliverable under its AI software contract with PowerBank Corporation ("PowerBank"). The AI-powered investor relations assistant has completed all stages of development, internal validation, and production integration, and is now live and operational on PowerBank's corporate website.

This milestone relates to the previously announced C$278,000 AI software contract with PowerBank (see press releases dated February 5, 2026 and March 11, 2026).

From Concept to Production

The deployment represents a full lifecycle delivery completed in approximately 6-8 weeks, from initial discovery and information audit through knowledge base configuration, compliance-aligned response tuning, structured internal review, and production go-live.

The platform now operates as a public-facing AI interface on PowerBank's website, enabling structured access to investor-relevant information including company filings, public disclosures, and corporate updates, delivered in real time through a controlled, context-aware conversational format.

The live platform can be accessed at: https://powerbankcorp.com

Jason Dussault, CEO of Intellistake, commented:

"Public companies spend significant resources managing investor communications, and the reality is that most of that information already exists in public filings and disclosures. The question has always been how to make it accessible, consistent, and available on demand. That is what we have now delivered for PowerBank, and it is live today. This is a meaningful proof point for Intellistake. We have taken a concept through to a live, production-grade deployment for a NASDAQ-listed client, and we believe this positions us well as more public companies look to integrate structured AI into their investor-facing operations. With this milestone behind us, we will focus on IntelliScope for PowerBank."

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

"Delivering a system like this into a live production environment requires close collaboration, and we want to acknowledge PowerBank's team for their engagement throughout the internal review and refinement process. Their input during validation was instrumental in ensuring the platform met the standard required for public deployment.

With the AI investor relations assistant now live, IntelliScope is the next major deliverable under the engagement, our bespoke multi-agent business intelligence framework for PowerBank. IntelliScope is designed to bring structured AI capabilities to PowerBank's internal workflows, and we look forward to providing further updates as that work progresses."

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

"As a public company, managing how investors access and engage with our information is critical. What Intellistake has delivered gives us a system that can present our filings, disclosures, and corporate updates clearly and consistently, available to investors at any time. Going from internal review to live production was smooth, and we are pleased to have this capability now active on our website. We look forward to the next phase of the engagement as development progresses on IntelliScope."

IntelliScope: Progressing Under the Broader Engagement

IntelliScope, the second major deliverable under the C$278,000 contracted engagement, remains on schedule. The platform is being developed to support PowerBank's internal operations through automated data aggregation, operational reporting, and decision support. Further updates are expected as development milestones are reached.
