September was spent extending LettsGroup's AI VentureFactory with new investor management capabilities adding automated investor marketing, communications and CRM. As a result we have integrated LettsNews, as the core investor communications system and Hubspot for investor email marketing and CRM, into the VentureFactory's AI software suite. It's similar to Oracle apps but for startup businesses and investors. We have also been busy behind the scenes getting ready to launch an 'innovation' AI Chatbot for entrepreneurs and investors which goes live in October. In the next months LettsGroup will be adding some impressive new team members.
This month LettsCore has continued to focus on optimising system performance essential to its core technical USP of concurrently linking and managing content, creators, owners, organisations and applications at massive scale with lower compute costs . The engineering team has implemented a sophisticated asynchronous write module which delivers fast scalable write performance, along with optimised caching for blazing read performance. These changes have been tested with our first corporate customer outperforming its instance of Google Firebase on both read and write tasks. Development is continuing on the SaaS dashboard for this groundbreaking new distributed media management platform with the team starting to build wallet management elements to enable LettsCore users to view their transactions in their wallet, port their own wallet into LettsCore, and transact initially on the Solana blockchain - sending Sol, as example, to another wallet.
LettsNews has also been focused on performance and optimising speed from news gathering to publishing, distribution and revenues. Indeed, the team believes that its software can cut cycle times and increase efficiency many times beyond what is currently available in the news publishing space - all while providing rapid team sharing and review, sign off and distribution to multiple news outlets and digital media sites. Indeed this NewsFlash went from creation to publishing and distribution across numerous media and email newsletters with just 3 clicks. LettsNews is currently working on company subscriptions to go beyond its freelance and single user plan for journalists, PR's and content managers.
LettsArt's no-code AI software now powers 626 art and artist galleries plus approaching 1,400 art collectors. Thousands of artworks have been uploaded with many more added on a daily basis. With LettsArt V2 fully released artists are using its AI more widely, principally to generate curator quality descriptions and tags for their art. New community features are going down well, with gallerists and artists communicating better with their followers and collectors. LettsArt's Post feature with auto-generated email newsletters is also proving popular. LettsArt's users are increasingly depending on its subscription software to sell art better. The team are currently working on extending auto-distribution to include 3rd party art marketplaces which would be an industry first.
LettsSafari inspired us all last week with its announcement about endangered water voles thriving across its rewilding safari parks. Their fascinating approach to smaller-scale rewilding, delivering private safari parks and gardens en masse, was brought to life by this successful conservation project in a small setting with one of the UK's most recognised wildlife breeders. It's interesting to note that biodiversity and wildlife trends delivered at LettsSafari parks seem to find their way into the wider conscience including venues like the Chelsea Flower Show just a few years later. LettsSafari is becoming a living lab for biodiversity solutions and rewilding techniques. Its subscription-based digital platform is proving quite an innovation in itself. LettsSafari.com starts its UK wide digital ad campaign to climate enthusiasts from next month.
Talking of subscription economy innovations LettsRetreat launched a compelling subscription offering for its members. The membership plan gives exclusive access to an entire eco estate for 5 days a year. Kind of like Soho House but in the wild. An initiative designed for families, friends and teams to retreat. Their approach to blending historic architecture, eco surroundings and open-air art seems ideally designed for long weekend breaks and team retreats.
