If its all so easy RichM, then why aren't you replacing all the IPhone apps in the app store and raking in the mega billions. Or why isn't everyone else making their own apps and sacking off the IPhone app store all together if its as easy as you keep saying? Probably because its not that simple is it. Go give your head a wobble and leave this board, as you clearly aren't invested as you've stated before, so your input here is pointless and just sounds like someone who got burned and can't stop crying about it.

Don't worry, Bobssocks. Your comment isn't worth my repeating how wrong you are on the whole AI application debate. I'll simply say this, do yourself a favour and pick up a book to learn something beyond the old gimmicky catchphrases and taglines you see online.

@RichMacintyre

🤦‍♂️ As stipulated time and again, you lack any real knowledge of how AI applications work and the valuations they are given. You throw around the term "wrapper" like it means something here. It doesn't.

Nearly all known AI tools/programs created are done so on top of base AI LLMs like GPT, Grok, Gemini, Claude etc. Unless your company has the significant capital and ability to create its own base LLM from scratch, then you will always be using an already established LLM model as your AI base, that is just a fact. What you keep spouting is like saying all applications made on Android devices are wrappers because they use the base Android OS to run their programs on, its a dumb argument to make.

What you utterly fail to realise is that whilst base LLMs are good, they largely have the bare minimum functions to initiate tasks. If you want an LLM to specialise or function in a key area or specialised task, then you need to build on top of that LLM and teach it to specialise in the area you want. This is done by feeding it large quantities of data in the specific field you want and programming it to function correctly in that specified area. The more you do this, then the larger the moat you create around the LLM, and thus the better it becomes at that specific task.

Many third party AI companies are given billion dollar valuations because what they have built on top of the base LLM is a large moat filled with hard tech which is very difficult to copy, making their AI program stand out above the rest and worth so much more, sometimes to the point that even the base LLM providers will buy out these companies for billions. The value is there for the taking if you can create hard tech around existing LLMs. Simply calling what we have as simple "wrappers" is nonsense. Dr Nag himself stated that he is building hard tech with AI, so he isn't simply copy pasting ChatGPT with no further learning or hard tech and trying to palm it off as something great.

Dr Nag has already given evidence of this hard tech by building specific systems within our AI products such as CLARA42, which was programmed and built specifically for Author42, no doubt Game42 and Movie42 will have the same or similar tech built around it to expand its function and increase its accuracy etc. So please go throw your shoddy baseless lies elsewhere.

Will CapAI eventually be seen as an AI company worth hundreds of millions if not billions in the future? Maybe, but thats what all investors here are betting on. It could crash and burn sure, but thats the risk you take.

Just recieved an email from Author42 stating that there will be a live demo for all 3 products, it lists 4 products but it splits Author42 into Fiction42 and Nonfiction42. The demo is set to take place on the 12th June at 9am PT which equates to 5pm UK time.

Not sure if this link will work here but here is the link they gave.

If Interactive Investor (II) are refusing to trade CapAI shares, then you can simply move your shares to another provider that allows the shares to be traded. I am with Hargreaves Lansdown and never once have I had issues with trading any shares on this platform.

It would seem II have made the choice not to trade this share, bearing in mind that this is personal choice by II, it does not mean there is anything wrong with CapAI whatsoever, only that II has made a risk assessments and made the choice to pull CapAI from their trading portfolio, nothing more.

As I say, you can get yourself out of the trading limbo by switching trade provider. I have only ever heard bad things about Interactive Investor given they seem to always halt buys, sales or both on many different shares, most especially the more higher risk ones which CapAI falls under.

@Alboumphoto

Yes, it was generally thought that the hard launch for Author42 and the soft launch for Movie42 & Game42 has already occurred. However, the 21 April 2026 RNS was vague in that it never specified and actual launch dates, only that each product was due to launch "this week", which actually turned out to be the week after, but still no official RNS or RNS-R confirmed the launch of any of the products, so many including myself were questioning if the launches had actually occurred or if they had been delayed for whatever reason.

The fact that at the time each product was due to launch, the official websites were either not there or hadn't been fleshed out properly which just added to the confusion on whether they had officially launched in any capacity.

I'd say the company has had pretty poor communication with its investors on this matter, where clarity on the official launch dates would have been welcomed and stopped any speculation and confusion.

This update on Author42 and the update on each website now gives more clarity that they must be in their respective launch stages, despite the absence of an official notice.

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but Author42's website now has links to the official Movie42 & Game42 websites.

Game42 - https://gg42.ai/

Movie42- https://movie42.com/

The websites look much better and Movie42 has set prices. So I'd say the soft launch is well underway, just wish there was more communication.

@5h1t-or-Bust

As far as I am aware CLARA42 and Trendspotter42 are part of Author42's overall IP, and if the IP was sold to CapAI then we would get Author42 in its entirety which would include these tools.

I haven't seen anything anywhere which stipulated that these tools are seperate from Author42’s overall IP, and I am pretty sure they are tools created specifically for Author42 to expand its moat into the "hard tech" range that Dr Nag speaks about, which means tech added to an AI to make it more complex with better features that make it much harder to copy by the competition.

@RichMacintyre

You clearly no nothing on advertising if you think Google is all that matters. A good benefit, yes. All that matters? Absolutely not. The only one flogging anything here is you with you pointless posts of zero substance.

@Magic-orb

Whilst being on the first page of a Google search is always going to be great for any product, it isn't the only way to fish for users. Billions of people use social media, all of which have advertising options. I'd argue that laser focused targeting on social media where you can tailor your adverts to specific people based on their profile, likes/hobbies etc. To get the right people would be far better at driving traffic to Author42 than being on the first page on Google alone, which requires a person to actively be searching for such a product in the first place.

Social media algorithms these days are very good at advertising things you actively engage in or search for, tapping into the many millions of people who actively search and talk about writing will in my personal opinion be better use of funds than paying extortionate amounts to appear on Googles front page. If anything, an uptake on subscriptions via social media advertising could compliment Author42 searches on Google and raise Author42 on searches without needing an expensive first page google sponsor ad.

As I say, being on Googles front page will always be a good thing, but in this day and age there are so many more and potentially better ways to actively target and engage with your userbase, and social media far excels at this.

I do wonder what Dr Nag's AI growth hacking tool targets, as social media would be a key and first place to put it to work with ease given all the personal data in these areas being a goldmine for targeted growth.

@Nero8978

The sign in option didn't work for me at first either and I was part of the beta too, I think they must have purged beta users for the new website design.

Instead I had to create a new account with the same email. At first I wasn't receiving the confirmation email, so I contacted them about this issue and it seems to have been resolved, as a few days later I was able to sign up with the same email I used previously and recieved the confirmation email without issue. However, the confirmation email did enter my Junk/Spam folder, so its worth looking in there if you haven't.

Overall, I'd say Author42 works really well, its certainly helped me with my writers block and getting me into a good flow. I haven't used all the features yet, but without being bias, it is much better than the competition I've tried out there, its much more in depth and consistent to the story with little to no deviation or hallucinations which I've experienced with other competitors, so it certainly is a cut above the competition I've tried.

The only thing now is getting the word out there and dragging in more users as that is what's going to make or break this product.

@Tiger16,

Honestly your views flip flop faster than starmers U-turns. And why are people so incessant on consistently stating that the company has "no revenues"... I guess you never read RNS's, it has already been confirmed that Author42 is generating revenues, the only thing we don't know is the exact figure of said revenues, but to say the company has none is a blatant lie. Whether you believe the revenues are negligible is irrelevant, they are there nonetheless so the company "is" generating revenues.

@Balliusbaggius

"So the Author42 transaction there is 100% going to be dilution up to 50%

So what the share price is in a few month time is irrelevant…."

What absolute tosh, you clearly do not understand basic investment metrics. One, you have absolutely no way of knowing if the dilution will be "50%" as there are many factors that can influence this. Is it a concern? Yes, is it for certain to be 50%? Absolutely not.

To say the shareprice in the next few months is irrelevant to the purchase of Author42's IP is so incorrect that it invalidates so much of what you say. If the shareprice rises, then the effective dilution on the purchase of Author42's IP reduces. That is a fact. £2 million in shares when the market cap is say £50 million would be dilution of around 4%. However, yes it can go the other way and if shareprice declines the dilution increases, but your claim that the shareprice doesn't matter is utterly false.

Please do us all a favour and if you don't know how something works, then don't spout bs on it as it clearly makes you look like an inexperienced deramper. I get having concerns, but what you are starting to spout is utter nonsense, you started with a legitimate concern and just turned youself into a spamming deramper.

@Balliusbaggius

Your incessant spamming of these lines is boring and actually incorrect.

"No revenue" - Incorrect. As stated within a recent RNS, Author42 is currently generating revenues, the only thing we don't know is how much revenue is currently being generated. Fact.

"No cash" - Incorrect again. They have recently had a raise for cash and no key board member is taking any wage to draw down and as stipulated by the company they are working on a tight budget, so how long the runway will be is anyones guess, it could most certainly go beyond September as we have no real outgoings to speak of apart from admin, this may change, but as it stands we are pretty darn safe compared to some many small cap companies.

"Massive 50% dilution coming" - This is possible, but one, you don't know the future or where the shareprice will be in the next few months, to say you do is utter nonsense and only a finger in the wind guess at best.

The only legitimate argument is the concern of where things will be when we are required to make a decision on the purchase of the IP for Author42 for £2 million in shares. However, as per Dr Nags interview, this £2 million in shares is negotiable depending on how CapAI would currently value Author42. If as Dr Nag says and the cost is negotiable, then I would hazard a guess that Dr Nag would negotiate on a price that doesnt royally screw over investors.

But again, for all we know they could delay the purchase runway for Author42, and negotiate a lower price or if things pick up, they could drop revenue figures ahead of the purchase timeline causing the shareprice to rise to a point where purchasing the IP becomes a distant memory.

@RichMacintyre

You clearly have no idea how AI infrastructure works. There will always be base AI providers who do the heavy lifting on investing in and providing faster and better AI LLMs. However, no base AI LLM provider has the time or excess resources to fine tune their AI to do every single possible task out there, and highly excel in these areas. It is why you have thousands of companies creating fine tuned tools from baseline LLM models and becoming billion dollar companies in their own right.

Many of these AI application companies who create AI tools ontop of base LLM models don't become billion dollar companies by simply adding on a fluffy wrapper around the base LLM, they become billion dollar companies because the tool/s they have created from the base LLM model has been fine tuned, tweaked and taught extensively on the specific task it was built for, this is what is call a moat, where you build hard secure tech around the LLM model which is very hard for competitors to create at the same level.

As Dr Nag has pointed out, AI LLM models will act like Internet service providers or operating systems where they will be the base provider and create a path for thousands of different application to be developed by individual people or companies. Another analogy would be android giving people the app store, android themselves dont create every single app in existence, they simply give people the tools and platform to do so, it is the thousands of other companies who develop the apps on your phone, not Android. The same is currently applying to AI right now, and will no doubt ramp up and continue as time goes on.

So on that note, Dr Nag under his own admission has stated that he is focusing on creating hard tech around these baseline AI models in hopes to generate an AI application that creates a unicorn for CapAI, that is what we as investors are gambling on, and with many billion dollar AI companies who create apps around these base LLM models are springing up at a fast rate, and we hope to become one of them. So, whether you think CapAI is a dud is upto you, but I personally think we are far from that answer just yet.

To save confusion, looking at it, RE's holding has "increased" by 3,400,000 shares from 75,579,365 to 78,979,365. No doubt due to his participation in the recent fundraise.

However, his holding percentage has gone down due to the effect of dilution from said fundraise.

@Dealer55,

No, the company hasn't done anything wrong. All share dealings platforms like HL and II etc. Have the ability to dictate what company's they have to trade on their platform, there are no legal requirements for any of these trading companies to trade any particular share.

The reason some platforms trade CapAI, some don't, and some partially e.g. (allow sells but not buys) is all down to risk, some platforms are more risk adverse than others and see small companies that fluctuate significantly up and down as high risk shares. Therefore some platforms like Interactive Investor will limit the share to sells as it doesn't wish to feed into the volatility.

Overall, its not about the company itself and what its done to deserve this behaviour from trading platforms. It is simply the platforms own decisions based on how it weighs risk and whether to accept trading it or not. The company hasn't done anything to instigate this other than its share being rather volatile, nothing more.

H&L meaning Hargreaves Lansdown? If so, then I can trade via buys and sells. No issues on the platform for me.

@The_Paladin,

That sounds wholly incorrect, CapAI is trading normally, whilst some may only allow sells, it has not halted whatsoever. And I am pretty sure they have already issued their financial results at the end of Jan, so it looks like your search pulled up another company as it certainly doesnt sound like CapAI.

It certainly is a welcome change to see an upwards trajectory last for more than a day, it has been too long since that has occurred here. I can only hope it continues to steadily increase upwards with more significant news on the horizon.

I'm hoping our next round of news is about the CapMedical side where we finally get some incubated projects/companies under our belt. Also, if this continues to rise upwards at a steady pace over the next couple of months, then my worries about purchasing the Author42 IP may dissolve if the shareprice is healthy and strong enough to take the purchase without flinching too much.
