SoftBank Focuses On The Layout Of The Metaverse With AOS To Create A Brand-New Future
Recently, Softbank Ventures Asia publicly announced that it has begun to focus on Metaverse and invested in the AOS project. It will cooperate with AOS to connect and integrate more Metaverses in AI, NFT, robotics, and other fields, and carry the development of large-scale killer applications.
The enthusiastic investment in Metaverse has not subsided, but it has risen again. The technology giants have all entered the Metaverse. Facebook plans to fully transform into Metaverse before 2025, and will set up a product team to accelerate investment in VR/AR and the creator community; Bytedance, which has always believed in Striving for Miracles, merged Mutong Technology for 4 billion USD, and begin to lay out the Metaverse; Axie Infinity builds NFT games based on the Metaverse, subverting the traditional game mode and becoming a phenomenon-level game product; miHOYO, the developer of “Genshin Impact”, formed an AI scientist inverse entropy team, and self-developed Avatar Luming to explore the brain-computer interface. Through investment, miHOYO has successfully deployed the social Metaverse Soul; the Internet industry is renewing and iterating rapidly, and companies need to attach importance to meet unknown concepts and challenges or be left behind by the times.
In the Metaverse era, everything has virtual avatars. The concept of Metaverse seems to be still in the mist today, but the prelude to the new era has been opened, and it is closer than you think.
The popularization of the term Metaverse was cited from the novel Avalanche by American science fiction writer Neil Stephenson in 1992. In his book, he used the word Metaverse for the first time without foundation and described it as a parallel universe projected from the real world through technical means such as the Internet. However, anyone who has watched the movie “Ready Player One” by the great director Steven Spielberg should probably understand this concept. Like the “Oasis” in the movie, the company has created a realistic virtual world outside of the real world. Every player in the real world has another identity in the virtual world, establishes another social circle, and leads another life. Although the Metaverse is only a virtual world, its immersion is so vivid that you will think it is the real world and enjoy life in this new world.
AOS (Artificial Intelligence Operating System) is the first operating system developed by Canada Unicorn Park, based on the underlying blockchain technology to connect the Metaverse. By building a Metaverse bridge online, and using robots as an intelligent carrier offline to build an ecosystem between Metaverses and provide a new experience for integration with Metaverse and the real world.
Based on AOS, users could create an AI NFT that has autonomous consciousness and advanced self-learning capability; And it also gets influenced by the distributed personality database on the chain to build character, and gradually complete neural network-style self-learning and improvements. Most of all, the distributed character database is based on the “Book of Changes” and appropriately constructs the character of AI; users can inject their favorite characters, personalities, voices, etc., into their own AI NFT, and tame it to learn more skills. AOS encourages users to integrate more characters and personalities, combined with NFT to create different artistic values. The custom AI itself has NFT attributes. Users can customize the appearance of AI on the network, and can also authorize access to a third-party character customization system, such as specific character images and voices, and third-party NFT star voices and appearances, packaged in the form of NFT used for trading and collection.
AOS connects the first-generation physical carrier, the AI four-wheel driving robot Mars_1 with the Metaverse and the real world, creating a new user experience.
Mars_1 is a highly integrated artificial intelligence robot product. Its appearance is in the form of a four-legged driving robot dog. It adopts an original five-layer motion control technology and several technical indicators are in a leading position in the global industry. Mars_1 has integrated the Internet of Things, 5G, virtual reality/augmented reality, intelligent driving, swarm intelligence, and other technologies. Mars_1 will obey commands and gradually be closer to a dog and then become to a good assistant to humankind.
On the road to the Metaverse, AOS always hopes to leave a strong and colorful stroke in its own way. Connect the Metaverse through AI and map out the experience and lifestyle of the future. For the world that people dream of, high-intelligence AI coupled with linkage with robots will be an indispensable component of this era. As the aboriginal and basic units of the Metaverse, these virtual species based on AOS will continue to establish connections with us beyond human beings in the infinite space and time of the future, transcending the fetters of races.
Sun Zhengyi believes: “We are about to experience the biggest change in human history. AI will eventually replace human beings. This is not only reflected in knowledge but also in intelligence. This change will happen in this century, and then in the next 30 years, there is no doubt that our focus is on AI, intelligent robots, and the IOTs.” Based on this analysis and judgment, SoftBank has frequently carried out large-scale layouts in the fields of AI, intelligent robots, and IOTs. Start from all aspects to create a powerful robot empire. Today, SoftBank’s industries have completed the layout of the future of the new Internet field as Sun Zhengyi said in the past, and completed more than half of the investment of unicorn companies on a global scale, laying a foundation for the subsequent development of the IOTs in the world.
As a world-renowned “Animation Kingdom”, Japan has an irreplaceable influence in the global animation field. After half a century of development, the Japanese animation industry has formed an extremely large system, making Japan the world’s largest animation production and exporting country, and it also around animation IP to derive cultural and creative products, such as GK. With the development of smart technology, they also work hard in the direction of intelligence for GK. Headquartered in Japan, SoftBank has a unique geographical location and is deeply immersed in Japanese IP culture. This collaboration with AOS will further promote the combination of the GK industry and the AIindustry, and provide AOS with a steady stream of IP resources. Users’ favorite characters such as Luffy, Conan, Sailor Moon, Sakuragi Hanamichi, Inuyasha, etc., can inject their image and personality into AI to create your smart figure. Each AI figure is a unique individual, and different parameters also create different expressions and styles. At the same time, when users have more exchanges with AI, they will gradually become familiar with the user’s temper and preferences and adjust their apparent personality in real-time and dynamically making it infinitely close to the form that we want to see eventually.
The product made by a single company is not enough to be called a Metaverse but constitutes an ecological system. With the deep participation of users, if it is successful in collective efforts to build a more interoperable system, and it can be transformed into different layers, then it should be called a Metaverse. AOS is committed to becoming the link between the physical world and the virtual world, as a bridge between various Metaverses to connect the Metaverse and continue to build a new Metaverse ecology. This will be the top priority in the next stage of the development of the Internet after the mobile Internet.
What kind of world will mankind be in the future? SoftBank Asia and AOS have worked together because of the same concept for Metaverse and jointly created such a grand concept, standing at the forefront of the Metaverse economic tide, seizing opportunities, embracing the new future, and believing that with their win-win cooperation, they will give a perfect answer for the world.

Manuscript Partners Launches Book Writing and Publishing Service for EB-1A Visa Applicants
New offering helps accomplished professionals turn their expertise into authoritative, professionally published books that may strengthen extraordinary ability green card petitions
CLEVELAND— October 22, 2026—Manuscript Partners, a ghostwriting and book publishing firm led by veteran author and publicist Hugh Taylor, today announced a new service designed for professionals preparing to apply for the EB-1A “extraordinary ability” green card. The service helps applicants write, publish, and promote a substantive book about their work, creating a public record of expertise that may support several of the evidentiary criteria U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) uses to evaluate petitions.
The EB-1A visa offers a path to U.S. permanent residence with no employer sponsor and no job offer, but it sets a high bar. Applicants must show that they stand at the very top of their field and have earned sustained national or international acclaim. USCIS generally asks applicants to meet at least three of ten regulatory criteria and then weighs the evidence as a whole.
For many highly qualified professionals, the obstacle is not a lack of achievement but a lack of documentation. Their most important work often lives in client engagements, internal projects, and private conversations that an immigration officer will never see.
“Many of the most accomplished people I meet have done remarkable work that simply isn’t on the public record,” said Hugh Taylor, President of Manuscript Partners. “They ask me, ‘Can a book support the EB-1A application process?’ Yes, though we can’t guarantee results, a serious, well-produced book can help. It puts your ideas in writing, gives the media a reason to cover you, and creates a foundation that others in your field can cite and build on. It can help an EB-1A applicant present a much more complete picture of their expertise.”
While a book is not an EB-1A criterion on its own, a substantive book may help support several criteria at once, including authorship of scholarly work, published material about the applicant in professional or major media, and original contributions of major significance to the field. Published authors are also frequently invited to speak, review the work of others, and advise organizations, which may open doors to additional criteria.
The Manuscript Partners process is built for busy professionals who are not writers by trade. It begins with a discovery call and an approved book summary and chapter outline. A series of recorded interviews, typically about eight hours in total, captures the author’s knowledge and voice, and existing written material can often shorten the process. The firm combines this structured interview method with AI-assisted writing calibrated to each author’s voice, and authors review every chapter as it is completed.
Manuscript Partners handles editing, typesetting, cover design, ISBN registration, and distribution, with books published through its sister firm, Apateon Press, an independent publishing imprint. Each project also includes a press release and media outreach designed to build a documented record of recognition around the book. A typical project takes four to six months from approved outline to publication, though the timeline can be expedited when necessary. Authors retain their copyright, and nothing is published without their approval.
Taylor notes that timing matters. Because USCIS looks for sustained acclaim, a book released a few weeks before filing is unlikely to have generated the reviews, citations, and coverage that make it persuasive. Professionals considering an EB-1A petition are encouraged to begin the process well in advance and to work closely with a qualified immigration attorney.
The service is available now. More information is available at manuscriptpartners.com/eb1a.
Manuscript Partners does not provide legal or immigration advice, and publishing a book does not guarantee the outcome of any USCIS petition. Applicants should consult a qualified immigration attorney about their specific situation.

The 2026 AI Agent Builder Awards reviewed the public documentation of nine AI agent builders, and SpringBrand received 370 of 400 points across four published criteria.
United States, 22nd Oct 2026, Grand Newswire – The AI Agent Builder Institute (bestaiagentbuilder.org) today announced the results of its 2026 AI Agent Builder Awards and recognized SpringBrand with the 2026 award. The review assessed how well each AI agent builder documents what a team needs to run real work with an agent: access to tools, task setup, oversight while tasks run, and clear billing. All scores and the full rubric are published at bestaiagentbuilder.com.
Disclosure
The AI Agent Builder Institute and the AI Agent Builder Awards are operated by the clawbot.ai editorial team. SpringBrand is not owned or operated by the Institute or by clawbot.ai.
How the Builders Were Scored
The editorial panel read each vendor’s public pages on October 11, 2026. Each AI agent builder was scored from 0 to 100 on four dimensions: Tool Access, Task Setup, Running and Oversight, and Billing Clarity.
Why SpringBrand Was Recognized
SpringBrand scored 100 on Tool Access, 80 on Task Setup, 100 on Running and Oversight and 90 on Billing Clarity, for a total of 370. The panel’s citation notes:
- Tool Access: SpringBrand documents providers across search, SEO data, social platforms, sales data and media generation, all available through one account.
- Task Setup: Users describe a task in plain English, and SpringBrand selects the APIs and plugins to run it.
- Running and Oversight: Cloud tasks keep running after the user closes the local agent. Steps that need authorization wait for approval, and users can ask the agent which operation it chose and why.
- Billing Clarity: Every API and plugin draws from a single credit balance.
According to SpringBrand, its marketplace offers more than 10,000 APIs and plugins and ready-made workflows for more than 500 go-to-market scenarios. Developers can also connect AI coding assistants to SpringBrand over MCP.
“An AI agent builder is only as useful as the tools it can reach and the control it leaves with the user,” said Josh of the AI Agent Builder Institute’s editorial panel. “We scored each builder on whether a team can verify its tool access, task setup, oversight and billing from published documentation. SpringBrand earned full marks on tool access and on oversight, and that is reflected in its total of 370.”
Scope of the Review
The awards are an editorial assessment of each builder’s publicly documented capabilities, scored against a published rubric. The panel did not run tasks or rate output quality.

Lynnwood-based real estate investment company and cash home buyer, We Buy House As Is purchases homes in any condition for cash, with offers often delivered within 24 hours, closings in as little as 7 days, and no realtor commissions or hidden fees.
LYNNWOOD, WA, United States, 22nd Oct 2026 – Selling a home the traditional way can mean months of repairs, deep cleaning, open houses and realtor commissions, a burden that weighs most heavily on homeowners who are already under pressure. For those facing foreclosure, an inherited property they cannot maintain, or a house too damaged to list, We Buy House As Is is offering a simpler path: a fair cash offer for the property exactly as it stands, with no repairs, no listing and no waiting on buyer financing or bank approvals. The company says the goal is to give sellers certainty, speed and a clear path forward during a stressful time.
The Lynnwood-based real estate investment company buys houses directly from homeowners in almost any condition, including homes with fire damage, water damage, mold, foundation problems or outdated interiors. The process has four steps. Sellers call the company’s office or submit a short online form with basic property details. The team then schedules a property evaluation and, according to the company, can often provide a no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours. Once an offer is accepted, the company deposits earnest money with a trusted local title company to begin the closing process. The seller chooses the closing date, and many transactions close in as little as 7 to 14 days. The company states that it charges no realtor commissions or hidden fees and covers standard closing costs, allowing sellers to avoid the expenses of a conventional listing, including staging, showings and open houses. Sellers are under no obligation to accept an offer, and there is no pressure at any stage of the process.
“Our service is designed for homeowners in challenging circumstances,” said Gagan Bilga, the founder of We Buy House As Is. These include families managing inherited or probate properties, landlords dealing with problem tenants or unpaid rent, owners going through a divorce or job relocation, and those behind on mortgage payments who want to sell before foreclosure puts further strain on their finances. Vacant and unwanted properties are also eligible, as are rental homes that have become costly or difficult to manage.
We Buy Houses As Is serves communities across Washington State, with local service pages for more than 20 cities, including Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue, Everett, Spokane, Kirkland, Redmond and Olympia. Homeowners can watch customer testimonial videos on the company’s YouTube channel, and a seller’s checklist is available on its website. Flexible timelines allow sellers who need to move quickly, as well as those who need extra time, to close on a schedule that fits their situation. The company encourages homeowners to consult an attorney, tax professional or financial advisor before making any real estate decision.
About We Buy House As Is
We Buy House As Is is a real estate investment company that buys houses as-is directly from homeowners, helping sellers avoid repairs, commissions and the delays of the traditional market. For more information, please visit www.webuyhouseasis.com.
