• Adds a third strategic pillar to CUBE’s RegPlatform^TM, introducing co-worker functionality through an AI agent architecture
• Automates processes and dramatically reduces costs for customers, while ensuring better adherence to regulatory requirements

LONDON, Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CUBE, a global leader in Automated Regulatory Intelligence (ARI) and Regulatory Change Management (RCM), announces the acquisition of Kodex AI, a Berlin-headquartered technology business pioneering the use of agentic AI to transform compliance and risk management across the global financial industry.

This acquisition marks a major milestone in CUBE’s strategy to build the third pillar of its AI platform. It adds co-worker functionality, where AI acts as a digital colleague within compliance workflows, through agentic architecture on top of CUBE’s leading compliance and risk foundations. By integrating Kodex AI’s technology, which combines fine-tuned AI models with regulatory data and knowledge graphs, CUBE will further enhance its AI-based platform, RegPlatform^TM, helping customers stay on top of evolving regulatory requirements with greater confidence and automation.

The transaction also brings exceptional new AI talent into CUBE, with Kodex AI’s experienced Berlin-based team joining the business. Recognised by Meta as one of the top European AI start-ups in 2024, Kodex AI has been at the forefront of disruptive technology innovation by applying agentic AI to regulatory use cases. Deutsche Bank was an early investor of Kodex AI, which joined the bank’s Entrepreneur in Residence Program in 2023 to develop a specialised large language model (LLM) for financial document analysis, demonstrating the precision and domain expertise of its AI technology.

CUBE’s Founder & CEO Ben Richmond, said: “Thomas and Claus have built an exceptional and disruptive European technology business, pioneering the use of agentic AI through an agent-based architecture to solve regulatory complexities. Kodex AI is a natural next step in CUBE’s strategy, allowing us to instantly deliver enhanced, AI-based compliance and risk capabilities to our global customers.”

Thomas Kaiser, Co-founder at Kodex AI, commented: “Combining Kodex AI’s technology leadership with CUBE’s market-leading regulatory and risk data is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to redefine the compliance and risk space. This is the perfect use case for advanced AI, and together we’ll push the boundaries of what’s possible.”

CUBE currently serves 1,000 customers globally and has grown its team to more than 800 employees across 20 countries. Hg, a leading investor in European and Transatlantic software and services businesses, established a strategic partnership with CUBE in March 2024 to support continued growth and scale. This follows the acquisitions of the Thomson Reuters Global Regulatory Intelligence and Oden businesses, Reg-Room and most recently Acin, bringing together regulatory compliance and operational risk within a unified platform: RegPlatform^TM.

Thomas Martin, Director at Hg, added: “This acquisition once again highlights CUBE’s ambition and drive to change the status quo for the RegTech industry. Since inception, Ben has been driving the business to embrace the latest technology and the addition of Kodex AI will significantly boost the team’s agentic AI capabilities.”

Transaction details were not disclosed.

Introducing the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow and the F25 Ultra that will be your secret weapons during the silly season

SYDNEY, Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Christmas is right around the corner, but often this can be one of the most stressful times for Aussies. Between overcommitment, end of year deadlines and stresses of keeping the home organised and clean, it’s a never-ending-list of things to do, places to be, or things to organise. But rejoice, Roborock has announced local availability for two new products which are set to be the ultimate side-kick to the holidays and beyond: F25 Ultra and Qrevo Curv 2 Flow via the Roborock AU website and leading Australian retailers.

Qrevo Curv 2 Flow – Keep Your Floor Clean, Every Time.

The summer holidays can be gruelling on our floors. Between sand, salt, and the general mess that comes from extra traffic with kids home from school or unexpected drop-ins. For families who need more from their mop and vacuum, the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is a true game-changer. Powered by SpiraFlow, the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is the first vacuum of its kind to introduce real-time self-cleaning mop technology. With 20,000 Pa HyperForce Suction, extra-wide 270 mm design, 220 RPM high-speed rotation, and boosted downward pressure, the roller mop delivers a deeper, more efficient clean, perfect for spills, sticky spots, and other daily messes. Unlike conventional mops that can smear dirt, the Certified Antibacterial Roller Mop scrubs with a continuous supply of fresh water, while a precision scraper removes excess moisture and directs dirty water into a separate tank.

The Qrevo Curv 2 Flow also introduces 2.5× stronger mopping pressure, mimicking the force of human hands to power through stubborn stains. Tomato sauce spill during the backyard bbq? Morning coffee grinds during the Christmas morning rituals? Sandy foot (and paw) prints after the beach? All stand no chance with the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow as it leaves your floors spotless, freeing you from tedious mopping. And with its innovative Wet & Dry Separation Roller Shield, carpets stay perfectly protected, the roller lifts up to 15 mm as the shield deploys, forming a barrier that blocks both moisture and dirt.

Beyond mopping, the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is backed by powerful suction, a smart Dual Anti-tangle system brush to keep hair from clogging, and the Brand-New Multifunctional Dock which includes new cleaning tray for a cleaner roller, and 75 degree high-temperature mop cleaning which automatically washes, dries and charges – so it’s always ready to rock and roll.

F25 Ultra: Steam On, Stains Off

Introducing the industry-first* F25 Ultra Wet & Dry Vacuum of its kind featuring two powerful high-temperature cleaning modes: steam and hot water. With dual 180 degree steam and 86 degree hot water cleaning, along with its powerful suction, the F25 Ultra makes for light work on even the toughest holiday spills. Generating steam in just 1 min, which allows for quick, deep cleans, it can help break down stubborn grime, sanitise surfaces, and remove grease without the need for harsh chemicals. Dried stains? Blast them away with steam which will overcome even the toughest of stains – no chemicals needed. But while the F25 Ultra might be tough on germs, it is gentle on your floors with 0% wooden surface wear.

It’s also great for households with long hair, as its Tangle-free and Streak-Free Roller consists of a tooth comb-shaped scraper which untangles even the longest of hairs and sucks it straight up. To top it off, the F25 Ultra features a 5 minute self-cleaning system that thoroughly washes the brush roller with high-temperature steam and water, so you get a fresh, hygienic clean every time, with zero effort, leaving you with time to focus on what matters most.

So while the hours may slip away when we are busy particularly during the major holidays, minimise overwhelm by streamlining and letting Roborock simplify and elevate the everyday.

Pricing and Availability

• F25 ULTRA RRP$1,499
  • Available exclusively online and in store at Harvey Norman from 17 October (Pre-sale now available here)
• Qrevo Curv 2 Flow RRP$2,499
