Genius Group partners with Daily.ai

to Deliver AI-Powered News via GeniusU.com

 

SINGAPORE, November 3, 2023 - Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS) (“Genius Group” or the “Company”), a leading entrepreneur edtech and education group, announces today that it has partnered with Daily.ai to deliver AI-powered Email Newsletters to GeniusU’s students, partners and subscribers.

 

Daily.ai specializes in news automatically curated by AI and personalized into daily, weekly, or monthly email newsletters. While standard mass-mailed newsletters have seen decreasing open rates, Daily.ai reports average daily open rates of 40-60%.

 

Daily.ai enables educators, podcasters, influencers, thought leaders, and brands to tailor their AI-powered newsletter to their target audience, with their selection of design, content, authors, and news sources. AI is then used to analyze individual open rates and the most popular content with each send, constantly improving and optimizing for the reader, with a corresponding increase in engagement and open rates over time.

 

Genius Group, through its Edtech platform GeniusU Ltd, has agreed to a partnership with Daily.ai whereby they are converting their weekly Genius News which delivers the latest news on entrepreneur education, the future of work, and developments within exponential technologies into an AI-generated newsletter powered by Daily.ai. This will be integrated with GeniusU’s Genie AI, which tailors recommendations to each student’s and subscriber’s individual talents and genius based on GeniusU’s ‘Genius Test.’

 

Based on the initial pilot, GeniusU plans to roll out Daily.ai’s AI Email Newsletters to its 12,500 partners and faculty, and to integrate Daily.ai’s offering into GeniusU’s AI Educator SAAS solution in partnership with Groove Digital, Genius Groove Inc. Genius Groove’s AI Educator SAAS solution will also be open to educators globally, from schools and universities to corporate trainers, speakers, authors and influencers delivering online courses.

 

CEO of Genius Group, Roger Hamilton, said “Daily.ai is leading the way in AI-powered news, and their AI Email Newsletters have attracted a client base of world-class influencers and thought leaders. We’re excited to be partnering with them to deliver their tools to our educators, and this will be an excellent complement to the AI educator solution we are delivering via GeniusU.”

 

CEO and founder of Daily.ai, Joe Stolte, said “We’re excited to be working with Genius Group and GeniusU. AI-generated email newsletters are achieving the kind of open rates that haven’t been seen since the early days of email. AI allows any educator or brand to build a far more personalized and engaging connection with each client. GeniusU shares this approach with their Genie AI, and working together enables us to reach thousands of educators and millions of students around the world who are looking for this higher level of personalization.”

 

The Genius News pilot in partnership with Daily.ai will begin within a matter of weeks and the rollout to GeniusU’s partner community is anticipated to be in Q1 2024.

If any of these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the value of our securities could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. In addition, our past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results in the future. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties, many of which the Company cannot predict with accuracy and some of which the Company might not even anticipate and involve factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or suggested. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and are advised to consider the factors listed above together with the additional factors under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 20-F, as may be supplemented or amended by the Company’s Reports of a Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K.
