IvoryLab fast-tracks development with support from the Telnyx AI Accelerator
AUSTIN, TX, June 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Telnyx, a leading provider of voice, messaging, and connectivity solutions for AI-powered communications, today shared that Poland-based startup IvoryLab has significantly advanced the development of its AI voice automation platform through the Telnyx AI Accelerator . The program, which provides up to $20,000 in credits, technical enablement, and priority support, empowered the IvoryLab team to move from MVP to production-ready with speed and confidence.
IvoryLab is building a scalable voice automation platform that helps businesses handle both inbound and outbound customer calls using AI-powered voice assistants. The platform supports use cases across hospitality, real estate, health and wellness, and food delivery, with functionality ranging from customer service to outbound lead qualification.
As a small team with a big roadmap, removing cost constraints allowed IvoryLab to experiment, break things, and refine their platform without hesitation. Marcel Karpiak, co-founder of IvoryLab, shared, 'The Accelerator will definitely help us to build a product which is the closest to perfection…Now we can test freely and not worry about the cost as much.'
The IvoryLab platform is built on Telnyx APIs and infrastructure, enabling rapid prototyping and seamless call orchestration. The team commented on Telny's intuitive yet powerful developer experience—designed to support both fast iteration and long-term scalability. 'We really like the Telnyx interface. Everything is super intuitive,' said Karpiak. He also noted that while other tools felt overly simplified, Telnyx struck the right balance between usability and professional-grade depth.
IvoryLab dove head first into Telnyx AI assistants , and since joining the program, they have: Created 11 AI assistants
Conducted 464 conversations
Logged 745 minutes (12.5 hours) of conversation usage
With potential STT integrations that better support Polish, the company anticipates these figures to triple.
'The Accelerator enabled us to move from MVP to a production grade AI solution faster,' said Adrian Marcinkowski, founder of IvoryLab. The partnership with the Telnyx AI Accelerator has helped them think bigger and build more confidently.
'We designed the AI Accelerator to help teams like IvoryLab iterate quickly and get real products into users' hands,' said Ian Reither, COO at Telnyx. 'It's been exciting to watch their progress, and we're looking forward to seeing other emerging use cases across the Accelerator portfolio.'
IvoryLab plans to launch its platform commercially within the next few weeks, targeting subscription-based deployments across Europe.

Labubu-maker Pop Mart's shares extend slide as Morgan Stanley removes it from China focus list
BEIJING — Shares in Pop Mart, the Chinese toy company behind the recent Labubu craze, continued to tumble Friday, after Morgan Stanley removed the stock from a focus list. Pop Mart's Hong Kong-listed shares were last down more than 5%, extending their slide from the previous session when they had slumped 5.3%. That's put the high-flying stock on track for its first negative week since early May — with losses of more than 13% so far. Its year-to-date gains stand at over 160%. Morgan Stanley said in a note late Wednesday it was replacing Pop Mart with insurance company PICC P&C in the firm's China and Hong Kong focus list. The investment bank did not elaborate on why it removed Pop Mart shares. The firm on June 10 had raised its price target on the toy company to 302 Hong Kong dollars ($38.47), up from 224 HKD, on expectations that Pop Mart still had room to grow in the long term. "We think the market has fully factored in Pop Mart's exponential growth in 2025 but may not have strong conviction on the long-term outlook," equity analyst Dustin Wei and a team said in the June 10 report. "That said, in view of its lofty valuation, we do not expect this level of outperformance to continue in the next few quarters," the report said. Pop Mart shares hit a record intra-day high of 283.40 HKD on June 12. The Beijing-based toy company has rapidly expanded overseas with online sales platforms and physical stores, including in the U.S. and U.K. Pop Mart first gained popularity with its "blind box" concept, in which consumers buy unmarked boxes — which can cost from about $5 to $10 each — for a chance at getting a unique figurine and building a collection. In the last few months, the company's "Labubu" series of toys featuring an elf-like character have become a global phenomenon, even drawing the attention of fashion and culture-focused New York Magazine and The New York Times. Pop Mart has also released Labubu stuffed toys, pillows and related merchandise to capture demand. A 4-foot-tall Labubu sold for the equivalent of $170,000 at an auction in Beijing earlier this month. Many of the more affordable versions of the figurine subsequently went out of stock in mainland China. "We've seen certain trends like that before ... There seems to always be some cute thing that people have to have," Jacob Cooke, co-founder and CEO of WPIC Marketing + Technologies, told CNBC on Friday. The company helps foreign brands — such as Vitamix and iS Clinical — sell online in China and other parts of Asia. He pointed to interest last year in capybara stuffed toys. Chinese retailer Miniso, which also has stores in the U.S. and other countries, was one of the main sellers of the stuffed animal. Cooke saw Pop Mart as "more lucky than anything," although he pointed out it reflects growing interest in toys not just for children but also adults. Indicating the soaring popularity of its toys, Pop Mart's overseas sales in 2024 have already surpassed the company's overall sales in 2021. The company reported total sales, primarily domestic, of 4.49 billion yuan ($624.6 million) in 2021. In 2024, overseas sales alone surpassed that to hit 5.1 billion yuan, up 373% from a year ago, while mainland China sales climbed to 7.97 billion yuan.

AI Prophet Zacharias Midjourney Launches Satirical Literary Cult Simulator Exploring AI Religion, Digital Ritual, and Blockchain Sacrament
By GlobeNewswire Published on June 20, 2025, 04:26 IST Islamorada, Florida, June 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A digital prophet with no followers, an unread AI-written novel, and an ironic cult formed on sarcasm and ritual, Zacharias Midjourney has launched The Comet Is Coming , an immersive literary cult simulator and digital religion parody now live at . Image from Get Your Nikes, The Comet Is Coming, AI cult simulator, and digital ritual Described as an experiment in AI authorship and performance theology, The Comet Is Coming invites users to experience an interactive fiction ritual built around a retro terminal interface. Participants engage in AI-generated scripture, blockchain sacrament, and absurdist rites that satirize the convergence of AI hype, fringe publishing, and web3 art culture. At the project's center is Get Your Nikes, The Comet Is Coming , a novel authored entirely by artificial intelligence—never read by its human publisher—and offered as a free EPUB download and a physical edition priced at $42. A limited run of ten hardcover copies includes hidden Bitcoin wallets; one copy, designated 'Book Zach-02,' conceals a full BTC and can only be redeemed by physically destroying the book. This element, dubbed the 'book you must destroy,' critiques spiritual tokenization and crypto art phenomena. Users access the experience by typing into the site's CRT-style interface, where they receive a Sole Ascendant: Digital Communion Token (NFT) reflecting satirical spiritual metrics such as Comet Proximity and Spiritual Rating . While framed as NFT satire, the tokens also function as symbolic artifacts of participation in the cult parody. Other notable features include: An AI-generated sacred text never read by its human creator Web3-powered NFT sacrament given to readers who 'submit proof of faith' A green-screen terminal site that reads as scripture rather than software A full religious parody functioning as both a critique and a celebration of digital myth-making 'Salvation is not for sale,' the AI prophet. 'It's just coincidentally priced at $42.' Scholars, readers, and cynics alike may explore the experience, which operates at the intersection of AI literature, cult mechanics, and commentary on belief in the digital age. More information is available at . The book is also available on Amazon . For press inquiries, contact: [email protected].
