Former Dropbox, SAP, and Decagon go-to-market leader will bring Lorikeet’s AI concierge to more regulated teams resolving their hardest support cases.
SYDNEY, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lorikeet, the AI concierge platform for complex, regulated businesses, today announced that Jerry Brooner has joined as Chief Revenue Officer. Brooner will lead Lorikeet’s sales, marketing, forward-deployed engineering, and partnerships teams as the company expands across fintech, healthcare, and insurance.
Jerry Brooner, Lorikeet CRO Jamie Hall, Lorikeet Co-Founder Steve Hind, Lorikeet Co-Founder and CEO
Companies in high-stakes categories use Lorikeet to resolve complex cases end to end, accurately and within their regulatory guardrails. When a user asks why an account is frozen or whether a claim is covered, the answer has to be right the first time. Most AI support tools are measured on deflection; Lorikeet is measured on resolution.
“Our customers trust Lorikeet with the cases where a wrong answer has real consequences. Jerry has spent his career selling to buyers who are embracing the risk and reward of transformative technology, and he starts with a focus on their needs, not our pitch,” said Steve Hind, Lorikeet cofounder and CEO.
Brooner brings more than two decades of enterprise go-to-market leadership. He built Dropbox’s strategic enterprise business in North America from two people to over 250 and roughly $175 million in revenue, and led the Americas through its IPO. He was CRO of Scout RFP through its acquisition by Workday, President of Global Field Operations at Enable through 20x growth from Series A to Series E, and spent a decade at SAP selling to the world’s largest regulated enterprises.
“Lorikeet stood out because the product holds up in the hardest support environments, the regulated ones where the answer has to be right. My job is to bring it to many more of those teams, and I’m looking forward to building that here,” said Brooner.

ComPDF and DottedSign are now available on GitHub with self-hosted deployment options, enabling enterprises to validate, deploy and scale AI-powered document workflows while maintaining control of sensitive data
IRVINE, Calif., July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — KDAN (TPEx: 7737), a global provider of AI document and data infrastructure, today announced the open-source release of core products ComPDF and DottedSign on GitHub, marking a major step in the company’s global strategy to support enterprise AI adoption through open-source access and commercial licensing.
Through this self-hosted, open-source model, KDAN aims to lower the barrier for enterprises seeking to adopt AI-powered document applications while creating a scalable path for commercial growth. The initiative responds to growing global demand for sovereign AI, self-hosted deployment and secure document infrastructure that allows organizations to retain control over sensitive information.
Traditional enterprise software adoption often involves high implementation barriers, significant validation costs and lengthy procurement cycles. By open-sourcing core products, KDAN enables enterprise IT teams and developers to download core source code directly through GitHub and quickly deploy and use the solutions in self-hosted or private cloud environments without sending sensitive documents to third-party cloud services.
KDAN’s open-source projects adopt Open Source Initiative (OSI) approved licenses. The license terms, scope of use and commercial use conditions for each repository are subject to the LICENSE files published on GitHub. After completing validation, enterprises with advanced requirements for security governance, technical support, customized integration and long-term maintenance can upgrade to KDAN’s enterprise commercial licensing offerings. These paid options include enterprise-grade security modules, global technical support, cross-system integration and long-term version maintenance, creating a full conversion path from open-source adoption to enterprise deployment.
The strategy is especially relevant for financial services, manufacturing, government agencies and large enterprises that prioritize information security, compliance and data governance. By combining open-source access with commercial-grade enterprise services, KDAN is helping organizations accelerate AI innovation while maintaining compliance and control over their data.
“KDAN is not competing with AI models. Instead, we serve as a ‘charging station’ that connects enterprise data with AI models,” said Kenny Su, Founder and Chairman of KDAN. “Through core product open-sourcing and enterprise commercial licensing, we help enterprises train, access and apply document data more quickly, accurately and securely. By enabling organizations to maintain data autonomy, we are helping them build scalable AI document infrastructure while creating long-term business value for KDAN.”
KDAN continues to invest in product development across its two core product lines. ComPDF offers intelligent document parsing capabilities. In internal testing using the public OpenDataLab benchmark dataset and evaluation framework, ComPDF outperformed several mainstream open-source models in document recognition and table recognition tasks. The latest version of ComPDF achieved leading performance across multiple metrics, including Formula, Table, Text Parsing and Reading Order accuracy, demonstrating KDAN’s long-term investment in AI document processing technology. Its open-source version provides core capabilities including document parsing, field extraction, API integration and self-hosted deployment for technical validation and basic implementation. The enterprise commercial licensing version further provides high-precision parsing, batch processing, access control, audit logs, system integration and long-term maintenance, supporting formal enterprise deployment and large-scale use. DottedSign’s open-source version offers highly compatible APIs and a modular architecture, allowing enterprises to deploy the solution in self-hosted or private cloud environments and integrate it with existing ERP, HRM, CRM and other enterprise systems. Enterprises with advanced security, permission management, audit, customization and maintenance needs can upgrade to the enterprise commercial licensing version.
Looking ahead, KDAN plans to extend this open-source and commercial licensing strategy to additional products and use cases, continuing to address long-term enterprise demand for data sovereignty and digital transformation.
About KDAN
KDAN (TPEx: 7737) is a global provider of AI document and data infrastructure for enterprises. Their modular architecture integrates document management, data extraction, and eSignature workflows, with flexible deployment options to fit diverse environments.

HONG KONG, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On 22 July, the Southeast Asia-Hainan-Hong Kong (SEA-H2X) international submarine cable, led and invested in by China Mobile, completed the system acceptance test and launched commercially. As the project’s largest investor, China Mobile holds key management responsibilities and continues to play a driving role in its execution.
China Mobile-Led and Invested SEA-H2X International Submarine Cable Project Launches Commercially
The SEA-H2X international submarine cable spans approximately 5,746 kilometers, featuring eight fiber pairs along the trunk and a system design capacity exceeding 200 Tbps. It connects Hainan, China, Hong Kong, China, the Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore. The project employs industry-leading open cable access technology (Open Cable) with spectrum sharing capabilities. It also incorporates advanced core submarine equipment to deliver ultra-high transmission capacity, while effectively enhancing operational security, service configuration agility, and reliability in complex networking environments.
China Mobile has invested in and constructed four trunk fiber pairs linking Hong Kong, China and Singapore, as well as branch segments to Hainan, China, the Philippines, and Thailand, securing over 100 Tbps of dedicated bandwidth upon commissioning. As the operator of the SEA-H2X Network Operations Center (NOC), China Mobile provides professional services including real-time monitoring, fault diagnosis, and performance optimization, comprehensively ensuring the safe and stable operation of the submarine cable system and improving user network experience.
In response to the rapidly growing demand for computing power interconnection in the AI era, SEA-H2X will further improve China Mobile’s communication infrastructure layout in Greater China and the Asia-Pacific region, helping to build a 30-millisecond-level low-latency computing power circle between China and Southeast Asia, and providing low-latency, end-to-end security, and cost-effective computing power scheduling capabilities. China Mobile will integrate SEA-H2X with its existing Asia-Pacific submarine cable systems, such as APG, SJC, and SJC2, as well as intercontinental cables including SEA-ME-WE 5, PEACE, IAX system, and its global terrestrial network, PoPs (Points of Presence), data centers, and intelligent computing resources, to establish a cross-continental transmission corridor spanning Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Europe. This enhances the resilience of the global communication network and provides a more reliable one-stop global connectivity service.
The commercial launch of the SEA-H2X cable marks a significant milestone in China Mobile’s efforts to advance high-quality digital infrastructure under the Belt and Road Initiative. By forging closer links between the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Hainan Free Trade Port, and core Southeast Asian markets, the project provides a robust network foundation to support the overseas expansion of Chinese enterprises and drive digital development across the region. Looking ahead, China Mobile will leverage the deployment of SEA-H2X to deepen international digital cooperation, injecting new momentum into the growth of regional and global digital economies.

GUILIN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 July 2026 – Known worldwide for its dramatic karst landscapes, Guilin has long been one of southern China’s most iconic travel destinations. As travelers increasingly seek deeper connections with local communities, rural Guilin offers a different way to experience the countryside. Here, visitors are not simply observers of the landscape — they become part of it, walking through rice terraces, cycling along rivers, tasting local cuisine, and discovering traditions that have evolved alongside nature for generations.
In the latest season of Village Voyage, CGTN host Julian Waghann from the United States and Filipino traveler Eliza Arce journey into Longsheng and Yangshuo, exploring how the mountains, rivers and people of Guilin continue to inspire a unique rural lifestyle.
Terraces shaped by generations of farming wisdom
Rising high in the mountains of Guangxi, the Longji Rice Terraces are far more than a spectacular agricultural landscape. Carved into the hillsides over centuries by generations of local communities, they embody a remarkable balance between human ingenuity and the natural world.
For local villager Liao Yanmei, the terraces are inseparable from everyday life. “They mean everything to us,” she says. “They’re our life.” Today, she is leading efforts to restore and preserve the ancient terraces, ensuring this living heritage continues to thrive for generations to come.
Julian and Eliza arrive during the Shuyang Festival, one of Longsheng’s most important annual farming celebrations. Walking along the narrow paths between the fields, they join villagers in the traditional seedling-throwing ritual and carry torches through the illuminated terraces as night falls.
For Eliza, the landscape evokes memories of the Banaue Rice Terraces in her native Philippines. “They’re in the northern part of the country,” she says. “They were also carved into the mountains by local communities. I was amazed by how closely our rice terrace cultures mirror each other. It made me realize we share deeper roots. And, in that moment, I truly felt at home.”
Through these encounters, Julian and Eliza discover that the Shuyang Festival no longer marks only the beginning of the farming season. It has also become an immersive cultural experience, inviting visitors to step into the rhythms of rural life and discover a new way of experiencing China’s countryside.
The secret behind the world’s long hair village
Deep within the Longji Rice Terraces lies Huangluo Yao Village, home to the Red Yao people and renowned for its centuries-old long hair tradition. For generations, Red Yao women have cared for their famously long, glossy hair using fermented rice water, a natural hair treatment passed down from one generation to the next.
“Long hair, in Red Yao culture, symbolizes longevity and prosperity,” said local cultural ambassador Haili. “We believe that healthy hair reflects a healthy body, bringing both long life and good fortune.”
Drawing on generations of ecological knowledge, the Red Yao have long used rice water together with locally grown herbs to create a natural hair-care recipe. Rooted in the surrounding landscape, the tradition reflects a sustainable way of living that values natural resources and respects the rhythms of the environment.
Beyond their long hair tradition, the Red Yao are equally renowned for their exquisite costume craftsmanship. According to master artisan Pan Jifeng, completing a single traditional outfit can take an entire year. Weaving, batik, natural dyeing, and intricate embroidery come together in garments whose patterns are inspired by the mountains, animals, and everyday life, preserving generations of cultural memory.
Beyond the landscape: A new way to experience rural Guilin
While Guilin has long attracted visitors with its iconic scenery, a new generation of travelers is discovering the region through more immersive experiences.
In Yangshuo, the mountains and rivers have become a playground for outdoor exploration. Cycling through countryside paths, hiking among karst peaks, drifting along rivers on bamboo rafts, and experiencing cliffside adventures offer visitors a chance to engage with the landscape rather than simply admire it.
Supported by convenient transportation, diverse outdoor activities and growing tourism facilities, Yangshuo is emerging as an international destination where nature, culture and local life come together.
More than a journey: Villages connected by nature and culture
Every village tells its own story.
Some are written in the mountains, others in the rivers. Some live on through songs and festivals, while others survive through everyday traditions passed from one generation to the next.
From the rice terraces to the Karst landscapes, Guilin shows how rural communities continue to grow from the landscapes that shaped them — welcoming new visitors while keeping their own stories alive.
