VERSES AI Inc. and Analog have announced an expansion of their collaboration following a successful smart cities mobility pilot. Utilizing VERSES’ Genius engine, the pilot improved fleet efficiency, resulting in a 32% increase in completed rides. This collaboration will focus on deploying Genius for various Smart City challenges, such as energy management and logistics. Genius will be hosted within Analog’s infrastructure, enabling real-time decision-making while retaining data control. Both companies emphasize the potential for enhanced urban intelligence and efficiency, with significant investments in smart cities, particularly in the UAE, showcasing the transformative capabilities of their combined technologies.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — VERSES AI Inc. (CBOE:VERS) (OTCQB:VRSSF) (“VERSES” or the “Company”), a cognitive computing company specializing in next-generation agentic software systems, announces that following a successful smart cities mobility pilot with Analog, a physical intelligence company founded by technologist Alex Kipman, the companies intend to expand their collaborative work on smart cities projects, with Analog’s conversion to an Genius Enterprise license.
Genius, VERSES’ Agentic Intelligence engine, analyzed historical ride-sharing and traffic data from two major international cities, and used it to improve fleet operational efficiency across a simulation of the cities. Changing traffic conditions and fluctuating demand create a constantly evolving challenge. In the pilot, Genius demonstrated up to a 32% increase in completed rides. The results indicated that a single fleet operator, working with only 400 active vehicles on a two-shift model, could use Genius to increase revenues by US$16 million annually.
By recommending fleet management strategies, the Genius orchestration algorithm enabled drivers to complete more trips while reducing empty mileage and idle time, increasing profit margins and reducing costs.
With the pilot complete, VERSES and Analog plan to pursue a series of new projects that apply Genius agents and their individual agent and multi agent fleet orchestration capabilities to higher-value, Smart City projects; urban challenges, from energy management and logistics to autonomous inspection robots and city-scale sensor fusion, which takes data from multiple sensors to create more accurate, reliable, and useful multidimensional models of city areas. The expanded collaboration will enable Genius to be hosted natively inside Analog’s secure edge infrastructure, allowing near-real-time decisions on the ground while maintaining full data control and showcasing Genius’ ability to be locally hosted in the UAE for local testing and deployment.
Alex Kipman, Founder & CEO of Analog, said, “At Analog, we believe intelligence is about adapting, evolving, and seamlessly integrating into the fabric of everyday life. Genius didn’t just prove it could handle complexity—it showed us it could anticipate and creatively respond to real-world challenges. By embedding Genius Enterprise as a component of our solutions, we’re crafting the nervous system of tomorrow’s cities: intelligent, intuitive, and human-centric.”
Gabriel René, Founder & CEO of VERSES said “Billions of dollars are being invested in smart cities, led by the Middle East. And Analog is driving this progress. Fleets of autonomous cars, sensors, drones and robotics, as well as energy in a smart grid, will all need to be dispatched and coordinated, and current AI solutions simply fall short. This pilot shows the potential value that Analog, powered by Genius, can bring to the UAE and Smart Cities worldwide.”

More particularly and without limitation, this news release contains forward–looking statements and information relating to the potential operational efficiencies predicted by Genius’ taxi simulation; plans for future projects with Analog and the anticipated results of such projects; the planned integration of Genius into Analog’s systems; and other statements that are not historical facts.
The forward–looking statements and information are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by the management of the Company. As a result, there can be no assurance that such plans will be completed as proposed or at all. Such forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions of management, including, without limitation, that the operational strategies predicted by Genius’ taxi simulation would also be effective in real-world scenarios; that the plans for future projects with Analog will proceed as anticipated, that the results of such future projects will be positive, and that Genius will successfully integrate into Analog’s systems. Although management of the Company believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking statements and information are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward–looking statements and information since no assurance can be given that they will prove to be correct.
