What’s new at Luminate HQ?

A quick look at what we’ve been up to recently

Our last post was just before the festive season so we figured it was time for a brief update. Christmas and New Year are a distant memory (although the waistline is still recovering), and we survived the longest month by keeping busy!

We’ve welcomed plenty of new clients, sent a couple of websites live (with others in design and development) and we’ve also been busy enhancing our regulatory announcements tool with AI summaries the audience can read, or listen to.

First up though, we were delighted to support RC Fornax Plc‘s successful IPO on the London Stock Exchange’s Alternative Investment Market (AIM) early this morning, with the delivery of automated regulatory announcements and share price related services which have been embedded into the investor pages on RC Fornax’s website.

IPO’s have been few and far between in recent years and RC Fornax is the first on AIM this year, fingers crossed we’ll see more to come!

A new look for Predator Oil & Gas Holdings Plc (PRD)

Predator Oil & Gas Holdings Plc operates a diversified portfolio of scale including unique and highly prospective onshore Moroccan gas exposure, where fully financed upcoming catalysts offer a compelling investment proposition.

Working in partnership with their advisers over at Flagstaff, we set about re-imagining their corporate website to better represent the company and help them communicate effectively with investor audiences. The new site went live this week.

With updated strategy content, including a new section dedicated to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), Predator’s website adds essential context to their broader market announcements and activities. We think it looks quite nice, too!

Flagstaff get a new look, too!

Flagstaff challenges the traditional Financial Public Relations and Investor Relations model to deliver a new generation of consultancy advice for public, private and pre-IPO companies across multiple exchanges and geographies.

As a professional adviser working within a similar market, we often find ourselves partnering on client projects. Our respective services tend to be complimentary without overlap, yet we share a common goal – helping our clients communicate with their stakeholders.

We’re pleased to launch a new website for Flagstaff to help support their activities and showcase the team and their collective experience.

AI Summary add-on for regulatory announcements

Everyone’s aboard the AI train these days, but many are still exploring the rapidly expanding world of large language models and how they might integrate into and enhance products and services.

As a digital services agency running its own SaaS technology, our developers tend to be at the forefront of new and emerging technologies, testing out interesting frameworks and ideas to ensure we stay one step ahead for the benefit of the clients we’re fortunate enough to work with. That, and the crew just love messing around with shiny new toys any chance they get.

Enter our new AI Summary add-on for our automated regulatory announcements service. Each public company must release regulatory announcements to the market, with hundreds (and sometimes thousands) released in the UK every day. It’s a lot to keep track of, especially for those with larger portfolios. Announcements are often delivered using a fairly formal structure and can be time consuming to digest.

We’ve seen AI summaries elsewhere, but we believe we’re the first to deliver an audio version. Our AI Summary add-on is finely tuned to create an informative summary of each announcement that’s subsequently processed by a text-to-speech engine, allowing the visitor to read or listen to the key points from each announcement.

Here’s an example summary and player embed (for a company that isn’t a Luminate client):

Our player leverages the browser’s in-built controls and includes a neat countdown feature to provide a visual indicator of length. We also have the ability to manually edit or override each automatically generated summary if required, although our initial testing has been very positive with no glaring hallucinations.
