    EON Resources Inc. Announces $45.5 million of Funding Closed with the Simultaneous Settlement of Seller Obligations and Retirement of Senior Debt

    HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / September 10, 2025 / EON Resources Inc. (NYSE American:EONR) (“EON” or the “Company”) is an independent upstream energy company with 20,000 leasehold acres in the Permian Basin. The fields have a total of 750 producing and injection wells producing over 1,000 barrels of oil per day. Today, the Company announced the successful closing of total funding of $45.5 million yesterday, September 9, 2025, through a combination of volumetric funding instrument (“VMA”) and a farmout of the Company’s San Andres rights across its leasehold to a subsidiary of Virtus Energy Partners, LLC (“Virtus”).

    $40.5 million of the funding was provided by a private family office that invests directly in upstream energy industry projects.

    The $45.5 million funding components and sources:

    • $20.0 million of the funding was from the private family office in consideration for a 15% perpetual overriding royalty interest in existing leases and wells in the Grayburg Jackson Field (“GJF”).

    • $20.5 million of the funding was from the private family office for a 5% perpetual overriding royalty interest in the San Andres formation in wells to be drilled under the farmout program with Virtus.

    • $5.0 million of the funding was from Virtus in consideration for a farmout of the Company’s rights in the San Andres formation in which Virtus will own a 65% operated working interest and EON retains a 35% non-operated working interest. Virtus and the Company believe as many as 90 horizontal San Andres wells are prospective in the GJF. Based in Frisco Texas, Virtus is a newly formed exploration and production company with an impressive track record in the Permian Basin and many other US Basins. The primary business strategy of Virtus is to create value in under-managed conventional reservoirs by applying modern technology and techniques. Combining Virtus’ skillset with the EON assets is intended to unlock great value for all parties.

    Use of the proceeds:

    • Completion of a $20.5 million cash consideration to the seller of the GJF to the Company (“Seller”) returned to EON the 10% overriding royalty interest on the GJF valued at $13.5 million, retirement of the $20 million Seller note ($15 million principal plus accrued interest), and the issuance of 1.5 million shares of EON Class A common stock in exchange for the return to treasury of the preferred units owed by Seller with a redemption value of $27 million. Additional details are available in the Amended Seller Agreement press release on the EON website.

    • Retired senior debt of approximately $19.3 million. The payoff of the senior debt eliminated a $700,000 per month amortization payment (principal and interest) whereby the Company anticipates a monthly cash flow improvement of $400,000 to $600,000.

    • Funds raised in excess of the cash payment to the Seller, the retirement of the senior debt and any fees and closing costs will be used to pay other obligations and fund field activities including workovers within the GJF commencing in the fourth quarter of 2025.

    “This funding is a total transformation and a major clean-up of our balance sheet by eliminating the senior and Seller debt and putting to rest the complex capital structure from the closing of our original acquisition,” said Mitchell B. Trotter, CFO of EON. “The removal of these complexities and reduction of the monthly payments allows us to focus on our original goal, the enhancement and exploitation of our asset base to grow the Company.”

    “This was a total team effort that almost nobody believed we could do,” said Dante Caravaggio, President and CEO of EON. “We put together the pieces of the puzzle by raising the money with the sale of overriding royalty interests and farming out our San Andres rights to a proven operator with extensive horizontal San Andres development experience. We are grateful to our investors, as well as to our industry and financial consultants, Virtus, Enstream Capital, EA Energy, Roth Capital Partners, Jack Holmes and Jarrett Hasson; all of whom had a hand in achieving this immense success for our shareholders. These transactions netted approximately $40 million in shareholder value.”

    “The unsung heroes are the behind the scene lawyers and accountants,” continued Mr. Caravaggio. “The legal teams sorted out hundreds of pages across dozens of documents. The legal team for Virtus and their sponsor as well as for the family office were excellent to work with. I want to give a special thanks to the EON legal team of David, Matt and Alex.”

    • David M. Smith: David is the General Counsel for EON. He is a licensed attorney in Texas with 40+ years of experience in the legal field of oil and gas exploration and production, manufacturing, purchase and sale agreements, exploration agreements, land and leaseholds, right of ways, pipelines, surface use, joint operating agreements, joint interest agreements, participation agreements and operations as well as transactional and litigation experience in oil and gas, real estate, bankruptcy and commercial industries.

    • Matthew L. Ogurick: Matt is a partner in Pryor Cashman’s Corporate Group, and has been involved in EON’s growth and development from the beginning. Pryor Cashman is a full service award-winning midsize law firm headquartered in New York City with over 200 attorneys across three offices including Miami and Los Angeles.

  • SMX Creates the Immutable Proof System Where Verification Pays Cash Dividends (NASDAQ:SMX)

    SMX Creates the Immutable Proof System Where Verification Pays Cash Dividends (NASDAQ:SMX)

    NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 10, 2025 / The history of economic growth is often told through waves of efficiency. The steam engine extracted more work from coal, electrification powered entire industries, and the microchip condensed computation into silicon. Each of these shifts delivered not just incremental improvement but an economy-wide dividend, where productivity gains fueled investment, competitiveness, and prosperity. Today, a new kind of efficiency is emerging, one rooted not in how fast we can consume but in how effectively we can reuse. It is the age of material efficiency, and SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) is uniquely positioned and able to deliver it.

    Material efficiency is more than recycling. It is the ability of countries and companies to recover value from the goods they already use, to prove the authenticity and recycled content of those goods, and to loop them back into the economy with confidence. That capability is not a fringe environmental issue.

    It is becoming a macroeconomic driver that delivers cost savings, supply chain resilience, and investor favor. At a time when resource volatility and geopolitical uncertainty increasingly set the terms of trade, material efficiency represents a productivity revolution as profound as energy or data efficiency.

    Turning Materials Into Data

    SMX promotes this new era by turning materials into data. Its patented molecular markers are embedded directly into plastics, metals, textiles, and natural rubber, giving every item a scannable, tamper-resistant identity tied to a verified digital passport. That link follows goods from origin through use, recycling, and chemical transformation, proving recycled content, authenticity, and chain of custody in real time. The result is enforceable compliance, anti-counterfeiting, and true material efficiency that converts sustainability from promise to measurable value. For companies that adopt it, SMX’s platform creates the most valuable form of proof: proof that their supply chains are both sustainable and secure.

    That promise has now moved from concept to infrastructure. In collaboration with Singapore’s national research powerhouse A*STAR, SMX has enabled the world’s first country-backed plastics passport program. This is not a pilot or a corporate initiative confined to a single product line. It is national policy that embeds molecular markers into plastics at the point of production, creating a verifiable passport that accompanies each material through its entire lifecycle. That is made even more powerful by SMX’s Plastic Cycle Token (PCT), a tradable instrument monetizing verified recycled inputs seamlessly across global markets. With Singapore leading the charge, the world is witnessing how material efficiency can be operationalized at scale, and how a nation can leverage it into a first-mover advantage.

    The dividend is clear. For companies, being able to prove recycled content and chain of custody creates a compliance premium. Instead of treating regulation as a cost, proof becomes a tradable asset that protects brand equity, unlocks market access, and attracts ESG-oriented capital. For countries, the ability to reduce waste, lower import dependency, and strengthen domestic resource loops creates a resilience dividend. Every ton of plastic that is recovered and reused is one less ton imported, taxed, or lost to incineration. For investors, material efficiency signals an entirely new category of value creation, one that echoes the early days of carbon markets but with far more tangible proof and economic impact.

    A Plastics Passport Blueprint

    The Singapore model matters not just for its own borders but for what it represents regionally and globally. ASEAN alone generates a plastics market worth more than S$4.2 billion annually, much of it underserved by current recycling frameworks. By demonstrating a system that works, Singapore is providing a playbook for replication across the region and beyond. The architecture is not another set of voluntary pledges but a verified reporting system underpinned by SMX’s molecular technology. That makes it credible, scalable, and investable.

    Material efficiency is not charity. It is productivity. Just as energy efficiency lowered costs for manufacturers and data efficiency unleashed the digital economy, material efficiency is poised to reshape the competitiveness of companies and countries. Those that can prove what they recover and reuse will enjoy lower costs, stronger supply resilience, and preferential access to capital. Those who cannot will fall behind. That is the nature of dividends: they reward those who position themselves early and compound over time.

    SMX has positioned itself as both the enabler and the architect of this shift. By embedding proof at the molecular level, it is providing the rails on which entire markets can run. Singapore has provided the first national case study of what that looks like in practice. Together, they are demonstrating that material efficiency is not an aspiration but a system that delivers measurable dividends.

    The lesson is simple but profound. Material efficiency is not about doing less. It is about getting more from what we already have. That shift redefines the growth equation for companies, investors, and, yes, nations. Singapore may be the first to prove it, but with SMX’s technology, it will not be the last. Those who understand the dividend will seize the advantage. Those who do not will be left paying the cost.

    Revelation Biosciences Announces Special Webcast to Review Positive Top-line Clinical Data

    – Gemini normalized the inflammatory response at the cellular level in stage 3 and 4 CKD patients –

    – Gemini could potentially revolutionize the treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory disease –

    Data discussion webcast/conference call will be held at 8:30 am Eastern Time

    SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / September 10, 2025 / Revelation Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:REVB) (the “Company” or “Revelation”), a clinical-stage life sciences company focused on rebalancing inflammation, will host a corporate update webcast/conference call (details below) at 8:30 am Eastern Time to review groundbreaking activity data from its Phase 1b PRIME clinical study in stage 3 and 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. The primary endpoint to evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of Gemini was met.

    More importantly, Gemini significantly reduced inflammatory activity and restored normal cellular response to stimuli as measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from patients at predose, 2, 24, and 168 hours post-dose, demonstrating Gemini’s ability to durably rebalance the inflammatory process at the cellular level.

    “The activity observed with a single dose of Gemini in patients is shocking,” said Principal Investigator Adam Horeish, MD, Balboa Research. “This effect suggests a meaningful step forward in addressing the underlying immune dysregulation observed in patients with chronic kidney disease, and I am intrigued by the potential of Gemini to treat multiple types of acute and chronic inflammation.”

    “The results from this Phase 1b study represent a possible breakthrough in the treatment of inflammation,” said Principal Investigator Pablo Pergola, MD, PhD,Research Director at Clinical Advancement Center, PLLC. “By addressing the inflammatory component of CKD, we may be able to improve patient outcomes and bring meaningful benefit to those living with this challenging condition. We look forward to working with the Revelation team to advance Gemini as a potential treatment for CKD.”

    “The clear results from the PRIME study demonstrate the power of Gemini to elicit trained immunity,” said Julia K. Bohannon, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Anesthesiology, Department of Pathology, Microbiology, and Immunology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center. “It is highly validating to see results consistent with the findings from our animal studies, as I would have expected. The strength of the effect of a single dose reinforces my confidence in the potential of Gemini as a promising treatment for burn patients.”

    The PRIME study enrolled 40 patients from 32 to 78 years of age, at 3 US clinics located in San Diego and San Antonio, specializing in the care of patients with CKD. A total of 5 cohorts (8 patients per cohort, 6 treated/2 placebo) at 4 dose levels were enrolled: a subtherapeutic dose, a low dose, the target dose (cohorts 3 and 4), and a high dose – an extension protocol was conducted to collect additional PBMC and biomarker samples in 8 Gemini naive or secondary naive patients. The primary endpoint was evaluation of safety.

    In addition to safety measures, patient PBMCs were isolated predose and at 2, 24, and 168 hours post-dose. PBMCs were analyzed ex vivo for background inflammation by measurement of IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-1RA. Cells were also assessed for response to stimulation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS, also known as endotoxin) or high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1). Subgroup analysis divided patients into two categories, those with PBMCs of minimal background inflammation activity (£40 pg/mL IL-1β) and normal response to stimuli, and those with significant background inflammation activity (>40 pg/mL IL-1β) and no response to stimuli. Approximately 50% of patients were in each group.

    In patients with high background PBMC activity, Gemini significantly reduced inflammation relative to placebo patient PBMCs post dose (IL-1β: p0.01; TNF-α: p=0.05; IL-6: p0.01; IL-10: p0.01; IL-1RA: p0.001) and remained significantly below their baseline value through 7 days. Background inflammation was reduced to levels comparable to PBMCs isolated from healthy subjects.

    Additionally, Gemini was able to demonstrate correction of the immunoparalysis typical to chronic disease. Gemini significantly increased the responsiveness to LPS stimulation in high background patient PBMCs relative to placebo at all timepoints (IL-1β: p0.0001; TNF-α: p0.002; IL-6: p0.0002; IL-10: p=0.09; IL-1RA: p0.01). Gemini also significantly increased the responsiveness of patient PBMCs with high background vs placebo patient PBMCs with high background at all time-points to HMGB1 stimulation (IL-1β: p0.05; TNF-α: p0.01; IL-6: p0.01; IL-10: p0.05; IL-1RA: p0.002). The increased responsiveness was comparable to PBMCs isolated from healthy subjects. These results show the ability of Gemini to restore normal cell function, even as far as one week after a single dose.

    For the low background patients, as expected, Gemini does not increase inflammatory activity. Additional analysis on the effect of LPS or HMGB-1 stimulation is ongoing.

    Gemini administration was well-tolerated at the target dose (established as the maximum tolerated dose in healthy volunteers) with all events reported as mild (Grade I). Adverse events observed at the target dose included transient headache, chills, loose stool, and body aches. Three adverse events at the highest dose (above the target dose) were reported as severe (Grade III), and included chills, nausea and vomiting, all resolving in 3 hours or less. Other reported events were either mild (Grade I) or moderate (Grade II). All events corresponded with the previous healthy volunteer study, as well as with preclinical findings, and are consistent with the expected pharmacology of the drug. No serious adverse events were reported. Gemini administration did not result in clinically significant trends in clinical safety blood or urinalysis parameters (aside from expected immune cell mobilization). There were no clinically significant changes or trends in vital sign parameters or ECG assessments following administration of Gemini.

    “The results of the PRIME study demonstrate the potential of Gemini to be a game-changer in the treatment of acute and chronic inflammation,” said James Rolke, Chief Executive Officer of Revelation. “We look forward to our scheduled End of Phase 1 meeting with the FDA later this year to discuss the advancement of this exciting program.”

    About CKD

    Chronic kidney disease is a pervasive problem in the United States and world-wide. CKD is due to chronic inflammation and can be initiated and propagated in several ways. One prevalent condition is the high blood sugar levels associated with diabetes (either Type 1 or Type 2). High blood sugar is toxic to kidney cells creating stress which imitates the inflammatory process leading to the demise of these cells with subsequent fibrosis, ultimately resulting in continuous loss of kidney function over time. High arterial blood pressure is another source of stress that initiates the inflammatory process leading to CKD. Other risk factors include heart disease, obesity, family history of CKD, or advanced age. Progression of chronic kidney damage often leads to end stage renal disease with the need for renal replacement therapy (dialysis or transplantation), resulting in significant morbidity and mortality for affected patients. Kidney disease is a leading cause of death in the United States.

  • From the Classroom to the Red Carpet: Maxon Delivers Speed, Flexibility, and Creative Power in a Fresh New Ecosystem Design

    From the Classroom to the Red Carpet: Maxon Delivers Speed, Flexibility, and Creative Power in a Fresh New Ecosystem Design

    Maxon One unifies Cinema 4D, ZBrush, Redshift, and Red Giant in bold ecosystem redesign, with tons of new feature capabilities across VFX, 3D modeling, and motion graphics solutions.

    BAD HOMBURG, GERMANY / ACCESS Newswire / September 10, 2025 / Maxon today unveiled the latest Maxon One release, delivering new innovations across its unified creative ecosystem and introducing a fresh visual identity that is modular, cohesive, and connected. Designed to empower artists at every skill level, from students to seasoned industry veterans, the Fall release streamlines workflows, removes technical barriers, and delivers cutting-edge creative possibilities across VFX, motion graphics, 3D modeling, sculpting, rendering, editing, and more.

    From cinematic storytelling to broadcast graphics, gaming design to architectural visualization, creators across the full spectrum of disciplines rely on Maxon One for its deeply integrated tools. Cinema 4D now has GPU-accelerated art-directable simulations, while Maxon Studio streamlines video and broadcast design with Red Giant effects and customizable templates, enhanced with embedded assets and reusable Capsules. Redshift pushes architectural rendering to new heights with procedural clouds, refined realism, and faster interactive displacement, while ZBrush brings professional-grade sculpting to iPad with 3D printing support and powerful pipeline integration. This release expands on the power of Maxon’s capabilities, all within a unified platform that moves ideas seamlessly from concept to final render.

    Maxon One is the creative backbone for artists across industries and at all skill levels,” said David McGavran, CEO of Maxon. “This release builds on the features creators already love while introducing innovations that remove technical barriers and open new creative possibilities. Whether you’re in the classroom or at the helm of a major production, Maxon One helps you create without limits.”

    A Unified Ecosystem for Every Stage of Creation

    The Maxon ecosystem is built on innovations that empower creative freedom, from the portability and precision of ZBrush on iPad to the immersive visual fidelity and cinematic quality of Redshift rendering. Maxon One unifies Cinema 4D, ZBrush, Redshift, Red Giant, and Maxon Studio in a deeply integrated platform designed to work harmoniously from one stage of creation to the next. With compatibility across industry-leading tools such as Adobe Creative Cloud and Blackmagic Design, creators can build, animate, render, and finish their projects without friction.

    New Maxon Capabilities Across Every Creative Discipline

    For animators and motion graphics designers, Cinema 4D enables fast, unified simulations that are easy to create and art-direct. All the procedural power of C4D integrates seamlessly with rigid-body, soft-body, cloth, pyro, particles, and now liquids. The new AI search, which operates entirely on your local machine, makes finding Capsules, assets, textures, and presets effortless, with faster and more precise results ready in an instant.

    For game developers and virtual production teams, the latest Cineware for Unreal Engine streamlines asset, lighting, and material workflows, reducing rework and accelerating iteration. Support for Cinema 4D modifiers, enhanced texture tag controls, and automatic material instance creation keep scenes accurate and flexible from import to final output, empowering teams to focus on worldbuilding, not pipeline roadblocks.

    For sculptors and 3D modelers, ZBrush adds creative freedom on desktop and iPad. Python scripting, available on desktop, unlocks automation and deeper pipeline integration, while 3D printing tools bring full desktop parity to the iPad. Surface Noise also sees an upgrade with a refreshed UI, per-noise resets, alpha transforms, and full undo/redo support, giving artists greater control over detail. ZBrush for iPad UI enhancements let users move the bottom bar, adjust the modifier wheel, and save or share custom interfaces for a personalized setup. Artists can rapidly sculpt, customize, and export designs for collectibles, props, and prototypes, with upcoming UV editing and hard-surface modeling updates extending its versatility.

    For VFX artists, Redshift introduces new tools for photorealistic and stylized environments with greater realism and speed. Texture Displacement delivers faster, interactive previews with minimal subdivision; Scene Units ensure materials match real-world scale; and the new Procedural Clouds and Sun & Sky system make it effortless to add atmospheric depth to any scene. Artists can render more accurate, visually rich worlds in less time, whether for film, advertising, or immersive media.

    For editors and colorists, Maxon Studio now supports embedded assets and reusable Capsules, making it possible to build once and use anywhere. This means more customization, faster setup, simple scaling, and consistent brand visuals, all without leaving the creative environment.

    For my new film ‘SKETCH’ (out now in theaters!), we sculpted creatures in ZBrush, animated in Cinema 4D, rendered in Redshift, and polished with Red Giant, all without ever feeling like we were duct-taping workflows together. Every production throws curveballs, but knowing exactly how I could ‘fix it in post’ with Maxon tools eliminated many of the usual roadblocks that inevitably come up when you’re creating 11+ monsters made out of glitter, chalk and crayons,” said Seth Worley, Director of “SKETCH” (read more about how Seth and team brought the film’s monsters and effects to life). “I think I can say definitively that, without Maxon One, we would still be finishing the movie.”

    Trusted by the World’s Leading Creatives
    Maxon One powers work for leading artists and studios worldwide, producing content that captivates audiences across every medium. From blockbuster films and award-winning streaming series to AAA games and global ad campaigns, Maxon’s tools deliver quality, efficiency, and creative freedom. Recent projects include:

    • Godzilla Minus One: Director Takashi Yamazaki and Modeler Kousuke Taguchi used ZBrush to reimagine the iconic monster, utilizing Redshift for rendering with speed and high-fidelity.

    • Shōgun: Winning 2024 Creative Arts Emmy® Award for Outstanding Main Title Design, design studio Elastic brought the Shōgun title sequence to life entirely in Cinema 4D, with key props like the samurai helmet meticulously crafted in ZBrush to match existing assets from the show.

    • God of War: Ragnarök: U.K.-based freelance creature designer and digital sculptor Luke Starkie used ZBrush to sculpt creatures, including one of the most memorable bosses for PlayStation’s flagship title.

    • Tuft & Needle: ManvsMachine relied on Cinema 4D and Redshift to help retailer Tuft & Needle visualize what it takes to create the elements of a perfect night’s sleep.

    Committed to the Next Generation: Dream It. Make it.

    Every great artist starts with curiosity and a spark of imagination. That’s why Maxon is making it easier than ever for students, hobbyists, and emerging creators to jump in and start creating. From free tutorials and global community events to affordable student licenses for the same tools used on blockbuster films and AAA games, Maxon gives creators everything they need to learn, experiment, and grow.

  • Big Interview Launches PracticeAI: The Most Realistic Interview Preparation Yet

    Big Interview Launches PracticeAI: The Most Realistic Interview Preparation Yet

    NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 10, 2025 / Big Interview, the leader in AI-powered job training and interview coaching, today announced the launch of PracticeAI, a breakthrough AI interview practice tool that redefines how candidates prepare for interviews.

    Designed to replicate the unpredictability and pressure of real-world interviews, PracticeAI delivers a conversational, voice-to-voice experience that adapts in real time to each user’s responses. By drawing on resumes and job descriptions, the tool generates tailored questions and probing follow-ups. It mirrors the priorities and style of actual hiring managers.

    “With PracticeAI, we’re introducing a truly new experience in interview preparation,” said Alex Andrei, CEO of Big Interview. “The AI doesn’t just ask pre-written questions; it listens, adapts, and challenges you the way a real interviewer would. The result is practice that feels authentic, dynamic, and deeply personalized.”

    A Game-Changer in Interview Preparation

    Unlike traditional mock interview tools, PracticeAI evolves dynamically throughout each session. Every response prompts the AI to build deeper, context-aware questions. This pushes candidates to think on their feet and refine their storytelling.

    After each practice session, users receive feedback in three critical categories:

    • Alignment with the role – Were answers tailored to what the company is looking for?

    • Clarity – Did responses come across as clear, structured, and persuasive?

    • Confidence – Did the candidate sound composed and in control?

    “At Big Interview, our mission is to help job seekers find opportunities faster and with more confidence,” said Pamela Skillings, Co-founder and Chief Coach at Big Interview. “PracticeAI gives people a safe space to build those skills. By practicing with questions that change in the moment and feedback that reflects real hiring priorities, job seekers can walk into interviews prepared for whatever comes their way.”

    Early Feedback from Beta Users

    Initial testers describe PracticeAI as seamless, tailored, and confidence-building:

    • “I liked the quick responses to my answers-it made it feel seamless and like an interview with an actual person.”

    • “Enjoyed interacting with the voice, simple user interface, relevant commentary on my answers in the moment.”

    • “I loved that the questions were tailored to my resume and the job description.”

    • “What I found most valuable was the level of feedback given on the answers to each question… it focused on both strengths and areas of improvement.”

    • “As a professor, I imagine students will be conducting job interviews with AI assistants pretty regularly, sort of the way video screening interviews became standard practice in the 2010s.”

    Supporting Students and Job Seekers Everywhere

    For colleges, universities, and workforce development agencies, PracticeAI offers a scalable, research-based solution to build career readiness at every level. By helping candidates reduce job search time and perform better in high-stakes interviews, PracticeAI supports institutions in their mission to prepare students and job seekers for meaningful employment outcomes.

    “Technology is transforming how hiring happens,” Skillings added. “PracticeAI ensures that learners aren’t just prepared for that shift, they’re ahead of it.”

    Availability

    Institutions and workforce organizations can learn more about integrating PracticeAI into their career readiness programs by visiting www.biginterview.com/get-practice-ai.
