London – September 28, 2026 -- UK-based AI platform company askelie has launched askVERA, an AI-powered service that converts complex documents and communications into Plain English and Easy Read formats for consumers and businesses.

askVERA launches in two versions targeting individuals and organisations

The consumer (B2C) version allows individuals to upload or paste documents such as tenancy agreements, insurance policies or official letters to receive an instant simplified version.

London – September 28, 2026 -- jaam automation has launched M. by jaam, an Agentic Work Management platform designed to close the gap between AI adoption and measurable business impact. The launch responds to McKinsey data showing 88% of organisations now use AI, yet only 7% have fully scaled it across operations.

Adoption outpaces execution, McKinsey data shows

McKinsey research cited by jaam found that while 80% of employees report AI has improved their individual productivity, only 37% of organisations see a positive impact on EBIT. jaam positions M. as a fix for this disconnect, arguing that fragmented processes across people, applications and systems prevent AI agents from understanding what needs to happen next in a workflow.

Detroit – September 28, 2026 -- Rocket Mortgage will become the first mortgage lender to adopt VantageScore 4.0 as its preferred credit scoring model for eligible loans, starting in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Rocket Mortgage found VantageScore 4.0 qualifies more clients while cutting scoring costs

Following roughly four months of testing, the lender determined VantageScore 4.0 helped more clients move forward in the mortgage process and reduced credit scoring costs. So far in 2026, Rocket Mortgage pulled 1.4 million credit reports using both VantageScore and FICO models to compare outcomes.

Clients who saved with the new model averaged $1,600 at closing

Miami – September 28, 2026 -- Chainlink said it is enabling financial institutions to connect their systems and key-signing infrastructure to Swift's blockchain ledger, opening a path for banks to run 24/7 tokenized deposit payments without replacing existing settlement arrangements.

The solution centers on a self-signing model built through the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), which orchestrates workflows linking financial institutions to Swift's ledger while institutions retain control of transaction-authorizing keys. Banks can adopt round-the-clock tokenized payment workflows while preserving current security governance, approval processes, and operating models.
