New tools let users give their agents access to Notta transcripts, summaries, and recordings without manually exporting and sharing them

TOKYO, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Notta today introduced Notta MCP and Notta CLI, giving people who already work extensively with AI agents a direct way to bring meeting content into those workflows. Users can ask a connected agent to retrieve a Notta transcript or completed summary and use it alongside the context already available through their other tools.

For users who rely on tools such as Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor, an agent may already have access to project files, documents, and connected services. But a client’s explanation, a decision made in a meeting, or the reasoning behind a change may still sit in Notta. Bringing that information into the agent’s work has required users to find the recording, export or copy the transcript or summary, and provide it themselves.

Notta MCP and CLI make that context directly accessible. Once configured and authorized, users can request meeting content as part of the task they are already working on, without preparing a separate export to hand to their agent.

Bring Meeting Context Into the Conversation

Notta MCP connects compatible AI agents to Notta through Model Context Protocol, a standard for connecting AI applications to external tools and information. The agent can retrieve transcripts, read completed Notta summaries, and find records in response to a user’s request.

For example, a user whose agent already has access to a project brief could ask:

“Find the Notta recording titled ‘Client kickoff,’ read its summary and transcript, and suggest updates to this brief based on what the client discussed.”

The agent can use Notta’s meeting content alongside the brief already in its context. Notta supplies the transcript and existing summary; the agent proposes the changes. The user can review those suggestions against the source conversation before applying them.

Access the Same Context Through Commands

Notta CLI provides a command-line interface for accessing Notta content. Users, scripts, and agents that can run terminal commands can retrieve transcripts and completed summaries, check transcription progress, and download exports.

MCP gives compatible agents a standard tool connection to Notta. CLI makes Notta available through explicit commands that can fit into an existing terminal-based workflow. Users can choose the entry point that suits their environment without installing both.

Both tools also support uploading audio and video files for transcription and exporting transcripts or the media associated with a recording.

Availability and Getting Started

Notta MCP and Notta CLI are available to all users on all plans starting September 23, 2026. A Notta account and authorization are required. MCP requires a client that supports local MCP connections; CLI runs in a terminal.

Visit Set up Notta MCP & CLI for installation instructions and a first request.

Light Origins Launches Light-O1: Cross-Embodiment Transfer Improves as Human-Action Pretraining Scales

By
Advertorial Desk

SINGAPORE, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Light Origins this week launched Light-O1, its first general-purpose embodied foundation model, as part of its work to build foundation models for Physical AI. Light-O1 learns a reusable human action prior from structured human actions recovered from internet videos, then adapts that prior to different robot embodiments and tasks. In scaling experiments, larger pretraining budgets consistently reduced post-adaptation prediction errors on egocentric human data and held-out data from two humanoid platforms.

Starting from the same 4B base model, Light Origins trained independent models at six pretraining budgets ranging from 3.75 billion to 120 billion multimodal tokens, with the largest corresponding to approximately 100,000 hours of human action. The pretrained models were then separately adapted to public egocentric human data, public Unitree G1 robot data, and Light Origins’ in-house LightBot loco-manipulation data. Across all three target domains, held-out next-action-token prediction loss and whole-body pose prediction error declined as pretraining scale increased, with both trends following power-law fits.

For the reported robot results, Light-O1 is adapted with target-domain data. The scaling result shows that larger-scale human-action pretraining provides a stronger starting point for downstream adaptation.

Scaling Action Knowledge Beyond Dedicated Robot Data Collection

Robot interaction data is valuable because it directly reflects a specific machine’s observations and actions. But collecting it at scale requires hardware, operators, environments and dedicated data pipelines, making it difficult to capture the diversity and long tail of everyday physical activity.

Light Origins takes a complementary approach. It recovers structured 3D human actions from existing internet video, aligns those actions with visual observations and language, and trains an autoregressive model on the resulting multimodal sequences. The goal is to learn a reusable human action prior from recurring patterns of physical behavior, then adapt that prior to target robots and tasks.

Light-O1 combines language reasoning and visual-spatial understanding with coordinated whole-body action. In real-world demonstrations, LightBot performs multi-step household tasks including opening a shoe cabinet and putting slippers inside, picking up different types of trash even when items are moved mid-task, and handing over a towel. On Unitree G1, the model wipes a table and receives the towel handoff within the same demonstration.

These demonstrations are separate from the transfer-scaling analysis, which uses held-out prediction metrics — including open-loop whole-body pose evaluation — rather than a scaling curve of real-robot task success.

Light Origins is also releasing Light-O1-Preview, a reasoning text-to-action model that takes a natural-language instruction, describes in language what the instruction requires of the body, and then generates the corresponding whole-body action sequence. Model weights, code and a public playground are available as part of the Light-O1 release.

From Pretraining to Deployment: Three Scaling Paradigms Toward Physical AGI

Light Origins’ roadmap toward Physical AGI is organized around three scaling paradigms: Scalable Pre-Training, Scalable Alignment and Scalable Deployment. Light-O1 represents the company’s work in Scalable Pre-Training, using large-scale human-action pretraining to build a transferable action prior before adapting it to specific robots and tasks.

Earlier this month, Light Origins introduced LightNav-0 as its first step toward Scalable Alignment. Its Real2Sim2Real data engine turns more than 2,000 internet-sourced real-world scenes into reusable simulated worlds, yielding more than 4,000 hours of navigation experience for post-training. The resulting model generalizes zero-shot across humanoid, quadruped, aerial and wheeled robots.

For Scalable Deployment, Light REACT uses recent physical interactions as context to infer the effects of external forces, hardware impairments and environmental constraints, then responds with adaptive whole-body skills.

Together, the three paradigms are intended to connect pretraining, alignment and real-world deployment in a shared learning loop.

Light Origins is also building the data and compute infrastructure to pursue that roadmap at larger scale. Its data infrastructure now operates at the thousand-GPU scale, with weekly video-processing throughput reaching approximately 200,000 hours — up from 12,500 hours six months earlier.

“For Physical AI, the key question is whether there is a pretraining signal whose value continues to grow with scale,” said Roger Jiang, founder and CEO of Light Origins. “Light-O1 provides evidence that human action pretraining can serve as such a signal: as pretraining scale increases, post-adaptation prediction error decreases across different robot embodiments. We will continue scaling data and model capacity, then build alignment and real-world deployment on that foundation to make physical intelligence more generalizable and reliable.”

Light Origins closed a Pre-A round of several hundred million yuan in August 2026 to support large-scale model training, multimodal data infrastructure, and full-stack software and hardware R&D.

About Light Origins

Light Origins builds foundation models for Physical AI, extending foundation model intelligence from the digital world into the physical world. Founded in late 2024 by Roger Jiang, a former OpenAI researcher and core contributor to ChatGPT, the company is advancing toward Physical AGI through three scaling paradigms: Scalable Pre-Training, Scalable Alignment, and Scalable Deployment. Models, compute, data, hardware, and deployment all feed the same learning loop.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The World Public Welfare Alliance Foundation (WPWAF) officially launched with its inaugural gala, “Lumina 919 – Where Light Begins,” held recently at the HGH Convention Centre in Kuala Lumpur.

World Public Welfare Alliance Foundation Officially Launched, Advancing Public Welfare Traceability, Development Funds and International Collaboration on Disability Skills
World Public Welfare Alliance Foundation Officially Launched, Advancing Public Welfare Traceability, Development Funds and International Collaboration on Disability Skills

The event brought together distinguished guests and representatives from the fields of philanthropy, education, law, business and the wider community to witness the Foundation’s official commencement and explore new possibilities for international cooperation in public welfare.

Among the distinguished guests in attendance were the Foundation’s Permanent Honorary Advisor Tan Sri Tan Koon Swan (PSM, JP), Chief Advisor Mr. Johnson Wee Peng Lam, Malaysian philanthropist Datin Paduka Datuk Khatijah Sulaiman, Honorary Advisor Dr. Billy Tang Chee Seng, Dato’ Professor Dr. Doraisamy, Datuk Seri Dr. Robert Lim, Prof Dr Ng Po Kok, and other distinguished guests.

The gala was also supported by the International Alliance of Chinese Cheongsam Associations, which brought together 30 cheongsam artists from China to present a special cultural performance during the evening.

With “Lumina 919 – Where Light Begins” as its central theme, the inaugural gala symbolized the belief that every act of kindness, no matter how small, can become a greater force for social change when individual efforts are connected and sustained.

Building a Public Welfare Traceability System — Giving Every Act of Kindness a Clear Path

Introducing the Foundation’s vision and future development direction, WPWAF President Mr. Rich Voon emphasized that modern philanthropy requires not only compassion, but also transparency, professionalism, sustainability and accountability.

He said the Foundation is currently developing a Public Welfare Traceability System, which aims to use technology to establish a more transparent mechanism for managing and tracking public welfare resources.

The system is intended to enable donors to better understand the flow and utilization of their contributions, including monetary donations, material donations and other forms of resources. From the point at which resources enter a public welfare project to their eventual implementation and utilization, the system is designed to establish a comprehensive record and traceability process.

“We want every act of kindness to be seen, recorded and traceable. Philanthropy should not end at the moment a donation is made. It should ensure that goodwill truly reaches those who need it and creates lasting social value.”

Rich Voon said the Foundation hopes the system will further promote transparency in public welfare, effective resource allocation and public trust, while providing donors, organizations, businesses and members of the community with a more systematic framework for participating in philanthropic initiatives.

Establishing Development Funds to Address Social, Environmental and Humanitarian Challenges

In addition to advancing digitalization and transparency in public welfare, the World Public Welfare Alliance Foundation plans to establish various development funds and specialized funds focusing on social, environmental, humanitarian, educational, healthcare, vulnerable-community and other long-term social issues.

Rich Voon said the Foundation’s approach to philanthropy is not limited to addressing immediate needs. Instead, it seeks to examine the underlying causes of social challenges and explore long-term solutions through research, education, cross-sector collaboration and resource integration.

“We hope to move from one-time assistance to sustainable change, connecting individuals, businesses, social organizations and resources across different sectors so that acts of kindness can create a much greater impact.”

Through this approach, the Foundation aims to develop initiatives that can generate sustainable and measurable social value while encouraging broader participation from different sectors of society.

Johnson Wee: Public Welfare Requires the Collective Power of People and Resources

In his address, WPWAF Chief Advisor Mr. Johnson Wee emphasized that advancing public welfare is not a simple undertaking. It requires long-term commitment as well as the collective participation of society.

He noted that public welfare cannot depend solely on the efforts of a small number of individuals. Greater impact can only be achieved by bringing together people, resources, expertise and support from different sectors to ensure that philanthropic initiatives can be sustained and reach more communities.

Johnson Wee also congratulated the World Public Welfare Alliance Foundation on its establishment and expressed his hope that the Foundation would continue to bring together diverse sectors and contribute to international public welfare cooperation, social development and humanitarian initiatives.

Strategic Partnership with Malaysian Council for Rehabilitation to Advance International Disability Skills Competition

During the inaugural gala, witnessed by distinguished guests and representatives from various sectors, the World Public Welfare Alliance Foundation and the Malaysian Council for Rehabilitation (MCR) formally signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement.

Under the partnership, both organizations will explore cooperation in areas including disability development, vocational skills training  social inclusion and international exchange  with plans to jointly promote 11th International Abilympics; Road To Finland 2027 as well as upcoming years of International Abilympics Competition.

The initiative aims to provide persons with disabilities with opportunities to demonstrate their professional skills, strengthen their vocational capabilities and participate in international exchange; providing immediate avenue of employment opportunities as well as entrepreneurship development.

The partnership also reflects another key principle of the World Public Welfare Alliance Foundation — moving from “assistance” to “empowerment.”

Through vocational skills development, capacity building and international exchange, the initiative seeks to support persons with disabilities not only through social assistance, but also by creating opportunities for them to develop their abilities, build confidence and contribute their talents within society and the workplace.

From Advice to Action: How Ping An Good Doctor Is Bringing Healthcare AI into the Real World

By
Advertorial Desk
-

HONG KONG, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Most healthcare AI tools can analyze symptoms and suggest a care plan, but far fewer can help patients follow through. The gap appears both when people try to maintain proper form during a home workout and when they must navigate an unfamiliar hospital in another language. This distance between digital advice and real-world action can be thought of as a “last-mile execution gap.”

Bridging that gap requires more than standalone algorithms. Frost & Sullivan’s 2026 Blue Book on the Development of the Global AI Healthcare Industry argues that medical AI is moving from isolated diagnostic tools toward integrated systems that combine data, medical knowledge and clinical workflows. In this model, value lies less in one-off efficiency gains than in redesigning the end-to-end care process and connecting the providers involved.

Ping An Good Doctor (HKEX: 1833), this Hong Kong-listed company is pairing AI models with an on-the-ground service network.

The gap is visible in home-based exercise and rehabilitation. People may know which exercises to do, but without real-time feedback they can perform them incorrectly, reducing their potential benefit or increasing the risk of injury.

A market forecast projects that the global market for AI personal trainers will grow from $16.9 billion in 2025 to $65.7 billion by 2033. In 2024, China’s National Health Commission launched the “Weight Management Year” initiative, which is also putting exercise and weight management higher on the public-health agenda.

Ping An Good Doctor recently upgraded its Ping An AI Doctor service, offering Ping An Smart Private Coach. The company describes it as a hybrid solution combining AI guidance with coaching, designed to extend family health management beyond consultation and chronic-disease management to guided, at-home exercise and rehabilitation.

Using technology that tracks 34 points on the body, the service monitors movement and provides real-time feedback in seven categories, including posture correction, chronic-pain rehabilitation, postpartum recovery and Baduanjin, a traditional Chinese qigong exercise. Ping An AI Doctor can connect users to its wider service network, creating a care pathway that spans prevention, consultation, guided exercise and rehabilitation.

Cross-border care presents a similar last-mile problem. Language barriers and unfamiliar hospital procedures can delay care for international visitors and residents.

The launch of Ping An GlobalCare came as China expanded its visa-free entry policies. Ping An Good Doctor unveiled the platform at the Shenzhen Sci-Tech Innovation Exhibition. According to the government, entries by foreign nationals exceeded 60 million in the first eight months of 2026.

Now being piloted in Shenzhen, the platform supports registration with phone numbers issued in 198 countries and regions and includes an AI translation engine tuned for medical terminology in 19 languages.

The platform is designed to go beyond translation through an end-to-end care pathway: online assessment, case coordination and in-person assistance. In one company-reported case, a U.S. user with acute abdominal pain completed an online triage session supported by AI translation. A case coordinator then helped arrange transport and guided him through hospital registration and diagnostic tests; the company says the process was completed within three hours.

In both cases, the AI is not the endpoint but a trigger for a human or physical service.

These offerings are examples of Ping An Good Doctor’s broader service model, which it describes as online, in-hospital, at-home and corporate health services. The company also says the AI ecosystem is supported by its proprietary multimodal model, Ping An Medical Master®.

According to Ping An Good Doctor’s 2026 Interim Report, its “AI + Physician” collaboration mechanism covers 100% of Ping An Group’s retail customers. The report also says that the company’s AI business accounted for approximately 4.6% of gross profit in the first half of 2026.

Whether it is Ping An Smart Private Coach, which supports at-home fitness and rehabilitation, or Ping An GlobalCare, which helps users navigate cross-border care, these initiatives are concrete examples of the broader healthcare AI strategy being pursued by Ping An Good Doctor and its parent company, Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd.

The strategy is designed to make AI more than a source of medical insight. By connecting patients with doctors, hospitals and support services, it aims to enable a more connected, accessible and continuous care experience.

Setting a New Standard in High-Quality Nutrition

SHANGHAI, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Angeopro™ Yeast Protein range F80, F84, Hi90-A, and S80-A, developed by Angel Yeast (SSE: 600298), recently received Monash University Low FODMAP CertifiedTM status. Angeopro™ Yeast Protein products manufactured by Angel Yeast (Yichang High-Tech Zone) Co., Ltd received the authoritative Clean Label Project (CLP) certification.

This dual recognition underscores Angeopro™ Yeast Protein’s gentleness on digestion and commitment to rigorous quality standards, supporting its suitability for a wider range of consumers and strengthening its position as a high-quality protein ingredient for the global nutrition market.


Monash University’s Low FODMAP certification confirms that the Angeopro™ Yeast Protein range is low in FODMAPs, a group of fermentable short-chain carbohydrates (oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols). Achieving the low FODMAP certification means that the Angeopro™ Protein range is a suitable ingredient to use for low FODMAP food applications,[1] helping people with digestive sensitivities such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) minimize uncertainty in their food choices.

Clean Label Project® certification looks beyond the ingredient label to uncover hidden contaminants consumers can’t see. Rigorous, independent third-party testing at an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory gives consumers something they can trust: verified assurance of what’s really in the products they choose.

Global Recognition for Purity and Gut-friendly

Angel Yeast has consistently adhered to rigorous quality standards, leveraging its unique yeast protein bio-fermentation process to ensure sustainable production and high nutritional value.

With a high Biological Value (BV) and PDCAAS 1.0, the protein is easily absorbed and utilized by the body. The product is especially suitable for the elderly with reduced digestive enzyme secretion and for people with weaker gastrointestinal function.

Nutritionally, Angeopro™ Yeast Protein is a true standout ingredient:

  • Complete amino acid profile: Contains all nine essential amino acids, along with a high proportion of BCAAs.
     
  • Gut and immune support: Naturally contains β-glucan, a prebiotic that supports gut microbiota balance and immune regulation while supplementing protein.
     
  • Versatile applications: Yeast protein is characterized by rapid initial digestion, high overall digestibility, and sustained amino acid release, establishing it as a full-cycle protein source with versatile nutritional applications, from daily nutritional supplementation to special dietary requirements.

Clean-Label Nutrition for Diverse Dietary Needs

On the dimensions of purity and safety, Angeopro™ Yeast Protein offers distinct natural advantages. Its clean ingredient profile is built on pillars that matter most to health-conscious consumers:

  • Free From Common Allergens and Dietary Restrictions: Angeopro™ Yeast Protein is naturally lactose-free, gluten-free and free of common allergens. This makes it a versatile protein choice for people with lactose intolerance, gluten sensitivities, vegetarian & vegan diets and other special dietary requirements — with no compromises on nutrition.
  • A Scientifically Verified “Clean Label”: The CLP certification goes beyond the ingredient-simplification approach commonly associated with the term “clean label.” Rather than simply reducing the ingredient list, CLP certification emphasizes the control of potential contaminants[2] through rigorous scientific testing.

Looking ahead, Angel Yeast will continue its dedication to benchmarking against high international standards, uphold its production philosophy of purity, safety and quality, and provide higher-quality yeast protein products to customers around the world.

Note:

[1] Products made using this ingredient must be tested and be part of the Monash University Low FODMAP certification program to claim to be Monash low FODMAP certified.

[2] CLP tests for a wide range of contaminants, depending on the product category. The standard panel includes bisphenols (A and S), heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury), pesticides (over 100 residues), and phthalates (BBP, DBP, DEHP, and DHP). Additionally, acrylamide testing is conducted for products that undergo heat processing during manufacturing.
