Prophecy International Locks in AI Studio Rights to Sell Upgrades From May
Prophecy International completes AI Studio evaluation and secures deployment rights
Prophecy International Holdings has completed its AI Studio evaluation project and signed an agreement to deploy the AI software alongside its existing emite and Snare solutions. The company issued an initial tranche of 300,000 shares as part payment for the commercialisation rights, with allotment scheduled for Friday 8 May 2026. A second tranche of 500,000 shares will be issued in December 2026.
The AI Studio project was first disclosed in Prophecy’s Half Yearly Report, where the company outlined its plan to evaluate an Agentic AI product that runs as a software module with both product lines. The official launch is scheduled for May 2026.
This transitions the project from evaluation to commercial deployment, granting the company rights to a new revenue stream that will be sold as an upgrade to its standard solutions.

What is Agentic AI and why it matters for enterprise software
Agentic AI refers to AI systems that can autonomously analyse data, identify issues, and recommend actions without constant human prompting. Unlike traditional analytics tools that require users to manually query databases and interpret results, Agentic AI operates proactively, surfacing insights and anomalies in real time.
For Prophecy, this capability transforms operational and security data into actionable intelligence. AI agents analyse activity, explain performance shifts, detect anomalies, and recommend actions based on patterns within customer databases.
AI-augmented software commands premium pricing and improves customer retention. By embedding AI capabilities into existing products, software companies can increase average revenue per user and reduce churn, as customers become reliant on the intelligence layer rather than just the data layer.
How AI Studio integrates with emite and Snare
AI Studio operates as a new software module compatible with both of Prophecy’s existing product lines. The system’s core functions include:
- Analysing activity across operational and security data
- Explaining performance shifts to identify underlying causes
- Detecting anomalies that may indicate issues or opportunities
- Recommending action based on identified trends
The module is designed to provide insight into trends hidden within customer databases, enhancing the value of the data already captured by emite and Snare solutions.
Customer validation and commercial model
Prophecy introduced AI Studio to a select group of customers to test ease of application and benefits. The feedback was described as “very positive”, confirming the company’s readiness for commercial release.
AI Studio will be sold as an upgrade to standard emite and Snare solutions, positioning it as an add-on revenue stream rather than a standalone product. The company has identified three commercial benefits from this approach:
- Improving customer retention by increasing product value
- Adding revenue from both new and existing customers
- Accelerating sales cycle timelines to pull forward new revenues
Upgrades to existing customers represent high-margin recurring revenue. This model improves unit economics without requiring new customer acquisition, as the company can monetise its current install base by offering enhanced capabilities. For software businesses, upgrade revenue typically carries minimal incremental cost, driving margin expansion.

Next steps and what investors should watch
The official launch and release is scheduled for May 2026. The second milestone occurs in December 2026, when the second tranche of 500,000 shares will be issued as part of the commercialisation rights agreement.
Investors should monitor customer adoption announcements, pricing disclosure, and revenue contribution in subsequent reporting periods. The staged share issuance structure suggests milestone or performance linkage, indicating a disciplined approach to capital allocation tied to commercial deployment progress.
Key metrics to watch include upgrade conversion rates among existing customers, the proportion of new sales that include AI Studio, and any disclosure around pricing or margin impact from the AI module.
