Well, good afternoon or good morning, depending on where you are around the world. I'm Steve Darling from Proactive. I welcome you to another live stream event. This time, joining us will be Nextech3D.ai. Lots of news out from the company today. Lots of stuff to talk about over the next little while. We've got some demonstrations for you as well, but right now I'd like to bring in the man who sort of leads the team, and that's Evan Gappelberg. He's the CEO of Nextech3D.ai, and Evan, it's always great to have you along. How are you doing today?

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

I'm doing great. Great to see you, Steve.

Moderator

Yeah, great to see you as well. Now, I know we're going to talk about products. We're going to bring in Hareesh Achi, your Head of Production, in just a couple of minutes to talk about some really unique and special things the company is doing as far as 3D modeling is concerned. But first, we should address the news that you had out today from Nextech3D.AI, where the company has unveiled what is, in essence, an all-in-one solution for 3D modeling. So, let's talk about that first. You've basically taken everything and put it into a pot. Is that accurate?

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Well, we've been building all the pieces of the puzzle to create an all-in-one 3D modeling platform for the last couple of years. Today's news really speaks to this all-in-one solution that we're building on the Toggle platform, which we're going to demonstrate for our shareholders shortly. The bottom line is that, you know, we have a content management system or essentially a 3D cloud-based storage system, a platform where you could see your 3D models. It has data, it has analytics. Again, I'm going to demo this in a minute. We also have Toggle, which has expanded generative AI capabilities, and, you know, we have our 3D search engine. And then we have our CAD, again, which is on Toggle.

So all these pieces to the 3D puzzle exist in Nextech, but now what we're doing is we're putting them all together in one end-to-end platform. The reason we're doing this, Steve, is that the customers, I'm talking enterprise customers, are asking for this.

We're seeing demand from blue-chip S&P 500 companies that are coming to us and saying, "Hey, we have thousands of CAD files we want to convert, and we want you to store those CAD files once they've been converted into 3D models, and we want to continuously update, and annotate, and publish these, and we really want you to do all of it for us." And that requires us to kind of merge our technologies into one really all-in-one platform, and we think that we are the only company doing this, the only company that really can do it. And it is an exciting development for us, and we think this is going to really lead towards rapid growth in our business.

Because, again, the big S&P 500 companies are coming to us, and, and they're asking for it.

Moderator

Evan, the platform had always been built this way, right? That everything would be seamlessly working together, the idea. But the ability to do things faster within the modeling has allowed Toggle3D in order to take its capabilities and beef that up as well. Is that sort of accurate in the way I'm describing it?

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Well, I mean, Toggle was, and is a generative AI texturing platform. That's how it started. That's how it formed. It was really for texturing, and you could bring a CAD file there, and then you could texture it, you know, with leather, with materials. It could be really almost any material under the sun. But the concept of having a CAD file and being able to put the material on it, it really is only one piece of the 3D model journey. And again, what we're building is an end-to-end solution, which means the product photography studio, so you could take pictures of 3D models that are photorealistic, creating the 3D model, texturing the 3D model, storing the 3D model, annotating, which means rapid prototyping, changing the 3D model.

All of those things are separate use cases, and nobody's actually built a platform that does all of that in a frictionless, seamless, no-code, way, where it's, you know, point-and-click technology, where anybody can use it. We're the first company that is doing this in the industry, and the reason why we're doing that. W e did have the vision, yes, Steve, but it's a lot of work to actually put all these technologies together and make them play well together. You know, we like to follow our customer's lead. Our customers, you know, literally dictate, right? 'Cause in the end, if we can't sell it to somebody, you know, what are we building, right?

Believe me, we've built stuff. We have a whole closet filled with stuff that we've built that, you know, the customer never actually showed up for. So maybe they will in the future, but, you know, they haven't. So the point is that we kind of let the customer come to us and tell us, "This is, you know, what we want." And so we had the vision, we built all the tech. We were you know, using our technology in-house to create the 3D models, of course. But now we're moving to a stage in our growth where we're going to be able to license our technology to S&P 500 companies, where they will be able to manage their own 3D models, and they will be able to texture their own 3D models, and we will be there to support them if they need white glove service.

We'll always be there, but the point is, is that we see massive growth opportunities. There's multiple six-figure deals that we're negotiating, six-figure annually deals that we're negotiating because of that, we're building all this technology and merging it into one platform.

Moderator

Yeah. Someone brings up NVIDIA and just about the competitors. Are people watching what you're doing? And I know you've recently announced patents and the importance of having patents, and maybe you can talk sort of about the protection of the intellectual property.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah. So it is funny, you know, that people bring up NVIDIA in the same conversation -

Moderator

Well, they're the big one, right? They're big.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

No, they're big, but they do something completely different.

Moderator

I know.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Completely different. So, NVIDIA, you know, it's GPUs, right? It's hardware. We're software. It's not the same thing, right? We use their GPUs. We use their you know, turbo.

Moderator

Chips

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah, their chips and their technology to create our technology, so that our platforms can run fast, right? But we're not competitors, right? So we work in the same ecosystem, and you know, back to our patents, yeah, we have two patents that have been approved, another seven in the pipeline that are patent pending. And the last patent that we received was for 2D to 3D, and it's a big deal, and it uses AI. And you know, we see these patents as pivotal because it builds a moat around our business.

When we sit down and we talk to, you know, and I'm doing the negotiating personally, Fortune 500 companies, and we talk about our patented 3D modeling technology, it really does separate us from the pack. It gives us really some credibility when we sit at the table with them because, you know, they don't want to take big risks. They want to work with companies that they feel they can grow with, and, you know, they have a lot to lose. So when you bring patented technology to the table, it gives them a level of confidence that other 3D modelers just can't deliver on because they don't have the patents that we do. So yeah, it was a good, a good move for us to file those patents years ago, and now we have them, so it's exciting.

Moderator

Okay. Just before we get to the tech part, obviously, people, you mentioned that you're working on a number of deals, and people are asking about that, and announcements and stuff. I know you can't announce what you're working on, but just some comments on. People are asking the question about, you know, revenue coming to the company. You have announced a few deals in the last little while, I think.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah. So, sure, I'll speak to that real, in general terms. So, last year, we announced, actually, this year, we announced that we did about $5 million in revenue for 2023. We expect that number to grow in 2024, but let's be crystal clear, you know, we've brought this up many, many times to our investors. Not sure that, they understand that the, the thousand-pound gorilla for Nextech has been Amazon, and it still is Amazon. So without Amazon opening up Seller Central, which is the proverbial floodgates, you know, our business hums along, but it's not at the same level as if the floodgates were open. I did think the floodgates were going to open in 2023. I did think that Amazon, was going to open Seller Central.

They didn't as of yet, but it is happening, and it is going to turn things into, I believe, a very rapidly growing business for us. We're continuing to evolve our technology so that when they do open the floodgates, we're actually ready and able to deliver, so we're preparing for it. We deliver models to Amazon on a weekly basis. We have a great relationship with them, but we don't control Amazon. They decide. It's their schedule, and so we're waiting patiently, and when it does open up, it is going to, in my opinion, change Nextech's valuation and our business. So until then, though, our business grows, but it's not going to be exponential until that opens.

Even these big Fortune 500 deals that we're talking about, just to put it into perspective, they are significant. They're. But, you know, one of these deals is not, you know, even if you had 10 of these deals, it's not equal to Amazon. It's just hard to explain how big Amazon is in this whole e-com ecosystem. But the reality is, for Nextech, is that where we are right now, we've streamlined our company, reduced our expenses, pivoted our operations to India, where Hareesh has done a phenomenal job setting up our business in India. And now we're positioned as a low-cost, high-volume generative AI 3D modeling company, but it's not just 3D modeling. We're bringing on virtual photography. We're bringing on the ability to see your product in your room using augmented reality.

We have a decorator, we have a configurator, we have all kinds of technologies. We're even working with companies on virtual try-on so that you could try on jewelry, and then, you know, Toggle has all this texturing capability. So there's really a lot of technology that we control and that we're starting to sell to big companies. But again, in terms of our revenue, it's still largely being going to be driven by Amazon, and I don't see that changing really in the near future. So that's really where we're at.

Moderator

Okay.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah.

Moderator

Some have asked, "Well, why aren't they doing it yet?" I don't think they answer to you, so I think you that's a question for next. That's a check question for Amazon, I think.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Well, yeah, it's a checklist for Amazon. I could tell you what we're being told in general terms is that , they are trying to work out the wrinkles in their business to make it perfect, and that's pretty much it. So they're just working hard to try and create a seamless experience for their sellers on Seller Central, and until they feel confident and comfortable, and it's nothing to do with us, it's 100% on them, it's their business. And we're not the only 3D model supplier.

There's, you know, over a dozen, and so until they're confident and comfortable, you know, it's not going to happen, no matter how much we all want it to happen. M y belief, though, is that it is going to happen. I'm convinced it's going to happen. I thought it was going to happen in 2023. I still, I'm convinced it's going to happen, but clearly, it's not happening on my schedule.

Moderator

Okay. All right, let's get to the technology 'cause we want to bring Hareesh in here in a little bit.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah.

Moderator

But, I know you. I'm going to put your screen up here, 'cause you wanted to talk about some of the technology. So I'll let you take it away and talk to me a bit about what we're seeing here.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah, I just wanted to show our investors. This is our portal. This is our 3D cloud, essentially. There are some new things in here, but, you know, here's. There's a lot of different products that we create. I'm just going to pull up this. This is, you know, just one that I'm pulling up randomly. It's. I play a lot of ping pong. I don't know if anyone here is a ping pong fanatic, but I love ping pong. I'm pretty good at ping pong. But here's a 3D model of a ping pong racket that we create for our customers, and you could see this ping pong racket. And over here, you have the reference photos. So these are the pictures.

You could see there's 1, 2, 3, 4, you know, 5 pictures, 6 pictures, 7 pictures that we were given, and then we're able to create this, this, this paddle. Now, I'm going to take a picture. This is something new. This is AI doing its magic. So here's the actual-

Moderator

Evan, just make your screen full screen if you can. Make that full screen, just so we can get a little bit. That's better. Yeah, great. Thank you.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Okay. Yeah. Thanks, Steve. So I'm just going to. So here's the, the racket. I'm just going to take a picture of it using this. You see the snapshot here. So I just took the picture. It's now stored on my computer. I don't know if you could see it. Can you see that?

Moderator

Yeah.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah. So it's just, you know, there it is, and that was super simple. This is 4K. Incredible, incredible picture. I think I might have just popped out of... Oh, no, I'm back. Can you see my screen?

Moderator

Yeah, we can still see your screen. Yeah, we just can't see that picture because it's on a different screen, but we get what you're trying to say. Yeah.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Okay, perfect. So I'm going to go back at the products, and I'm going to, you know... I mean, look, there's so many products here. So here's a Sony wireless rose gold headset that's being pulled up. So you can imagine that our customers are able to come in here, this is their back end, and they're able to see their products. So here's, you know, a pair of a headset. Again, I'm going to take a picture of the headset just by clicking this button right here. I'm going to actually zoom in. So look at the... You could see, like, the picture quality. Okay, so that's the picture I want to take. I want to take, like, a zoomed-in one. Boom, just took the picture.

I'm going to just show it up again, and then, you know, my screen will pop out. Can you see that? Steve?

Moderator

Yeah, we can't see the picture itself, but we can- 'cause it's on a different screen, but-

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Oh, you can't see the picture itself.

Moderator

Yeah.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Okay, that's what I was asking.

Moderator

The idea is that you've taken a picture of what you're seeing on the screen, correct?

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah, exactly, exactly. Okay. So yeah, I just can't share it here. So, I'm going to go back into the products. You could see, there's gaming chairs, there's couches, there's all kinds of, you know, here's another one of, you know, that's interesting. And so all this is happening in our 3D cloud. Here's, you know, a desk. And let's take a look at the reference photos. This is actually a pretty nice desk. It looks almost like marble. And so here's the reference photos. There it is over there, and a lot of this is Hareesh is going to show the AI. So this now, and you see the measurements that are included.

And so if you want to see this in your space, our investors that are watching, you see the QR code that I just popped onto the screen there? That you can see. You take out your phone, you hold that up to the screen, and you're able to pull that desk that's on my screen out of the computer and put it into the room with you, and that's pretty magical when you're trying to figure out, "Is this going to fit in my home office?" Kind of thing. So, you know, that's the benefit of augmented reality. Now, you know, beyond this, we have reports-

Moderator

I'll just say, I'm actually doing it right now. It's, like, literally sitting... I've got my phone out, it's literally sitting right beside me on the desk here.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah. So there it is.

Moderator

That's cool.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

It's. Yeah, it's super cool, super useful. And, you know, I was talking to a friend yesterday who was trying to figure out if a, you know, like a booth would fit in their store, and they literally grabbed it off of Amazon and, you know, superimposed it in the store to see if it would fit. And so, you know, this is being used all over the globe. So this is a dashboard, again, for our customers to be able to go in. This is going back to April of last year, so this is, you know, one year, and you're seeing interaction downloads, actually, and interaction of the 3D models. And you can see, you know, they're quite active on a daily basis. You know, one of the top models is this Softail electric mountain bike, which, by the way, is on our website.

You could find this on the Nextech3D.AI website. This is an e-bike, and I'm just going to show you the e-bike. There it is. And you can see, you know, the quality of that bike, and this, again, would be your content management system. So lots and lots of features, functionality. You know, you could imagine when you have thousands of products, and you want to search, you could search for, you know, couch. You could put in an actual product number. There's all kinds of different ways to search using this. Here's a three-seater cushion, you know, accent chair, artwork, beauty products, beds.

Moderator

We're sort of on the same... We're on the, dial still. We're on the category breakdown?

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Oh, you're saying,

Moderator

Yeah, you gotta move your screen.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Oh, okay.

Moderator

Yeah. We're seeing sort of the... It, it looks like it's frozen, actually.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Oh, there it is. Yeah. Okay.

Moderator

Yeah.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

All right, let's. We can pop out of this and go to, Hareesh's screens-

Moderator

Yeah

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Since he's got plenty, plenty to show.

Moderator

Well, the idea behind this is that it's very, very, you know, it's a lot of content. The content's being added as you go, right?

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah. There's a ton of content. There's tens of thousands of 3D models living on that platform for our customers, and up until now, you know, back to the all-in-one solution-

Moderator

Yeah

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

We, meaning Nextech, has been using this platform, and managing it for our customers. We are going to be turning the platform, towards our customers, so it'll be customer-facing. I mean, they do go in and out of it now, but what we're doing is we're going to license, the platform to our customers and really let them have total control over their own 3D models and be able to use it, for their own use cases autonomously. And that's, you know, the business that we really are moving towards, with our... these S&P 500 companies, with the bigger players. With the e-commerce business, with Amazon, it's still going to be the same, you know, where people come to us and they ask us to make them 100 3D models or 1,000 3D models-

Moderator

Yeah

We'll do that for them every day of the week. So, but with that, I think it's a good time, a good segu to bring in Hareesh.

Let's bring him in. He's the head of product operations. Hareesh Achi is joining us as well. Hareesh, nice to see you again. How are you?

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Nice to see you, Steve. I'm doing well.

Moderator

How did Evan do on that presentation? Not bad?

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah, not bad. Not bad, right? It's cool. Yeah, so it's always. It's fun, like, see all the CMS, how the activity you have seen.

Moderator

Yeah

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

The models that are deployed on customer site, and you can see those spikes happening and how active our models are being used on

Moderator

Yeah.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Customers.

Moderator

Well, a lot of people are like: "We didn't see Evan's bike," and that's 'cause his... It froze on us, so there you go.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Right. He has it on his other browser, and it was not showing up, but yeah.

Moderator

Exactly.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah.

Moderator

But, yeah, this all-in-one solution that Evan's been talking about, I know you had a big part in that as well. It's pretty exciting, I would think, for the company.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

It is super exciting time, Steve. I think it's great to have all this technology. As Evan was sharing, we have a lot of technology in the company. It's about now, I think we are trying to making sure that we are, you know, building a customer-centric and a one-stop, end-to-end, 3D AI engine for our customers. So anyone who thinks of 3D, we want those customers to think of Nextech, and see that they can come in, create the models, texture a model. If they have their model, they can upload it, and retexture, and even now photography, that you saw. So we got good, good amount of end-to-end technology as a one-stop shop for all our customers across various mar-industries, right? Not just e-commerce, anyone with packaged goods, CPG, anyone can come in and use it.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Nice. Well, let's talk a little bit about what you have to show us. I, I'm going to pop your screen up here, and then, and take us through... I know you've got some exciting things that some more technology you want to share with everyone, so I'll let you take it away.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah. I'm super excited to show this. You know, we are going to introduce 3D mesh. I think we, as Evan was sharing, we have a lot of mesh technology, 3D models that we have created over the years, and so we are leveraging that to enable that 3D mesh. You have seen our AI search algorithm. So some of the AI mesh search algorithms, we are bringing into this Toggle platform now. So let me play this video, and I will give some voiceover behind it. So two new features we are getting in, AI text search and image search into Toggle itself. So you can search models, so you can see all our almost 200,000 variety of models in different segments we have.

You just search for it, type recliner, and you see all the recliner 3D models we have that you can purchase, texture it differently. Shoe, type shoe, we got that. Chairs, furniture, any type of categories that you are thinking of, we have it. We can even do image search. So you upload an image that you have and say, "Hey, I'm looking for something like this," and then you say, "Search," and you get those 3D of those chairs as well, that you can purchase. So we now have opportunity to purchase as well. You can look in detail before purchasing the model, and then say, "All right, this looks cool." Then you add it into your cart and purchase it.

So then it, it's available in your Toggle platform itself, and, you know, you can then modify it, use it, take pictures, different colors. You can add more for colors as well. And you know, you can buy more products as well, and all in one checkout pages. So it became like a more seamless experience for our customers to just use, and then all the, whatever they purchased are shown in their content library. Again, that's where Evan was talking about. We are building that end-to-end content library, kind of a systems. So users can... It's a one-stop shop. They come in, they look at, you know, purchase if they don't have, if they have one, and then they start, you know, using it, texturing it, taking images how they want.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Hareesh, just before we jump into the jewelry.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

I just want to stress for our investors that, you know, what Hareesh just showed on screen, you know, it went by pretty fast, but there was a lot going on. There was computer vision, there was AI, there was image recognition. There was a marketplace where you could buy 3D models. We've never had that before, where you can actually purchase a 3D model. So, you know, we have, as Hareesh mentioned, 200,000 models. This is a marketplace. That's a lot of models, by the way, and it's growing daily. So now we're offering on the Toggle platform, a 3D model that you could purchase, and then once you purchase it on Toggle, you could change it, right?

So you could buy a shoe, or buy a couch, or buy a chair, and then you want to change it to look a little different. That's what Toggle does, right? So you could, you know, turn a blue chair into a white chair, into a red chair, changing the texture, and, you know, you own that 3D model. So you can come in, and a lot of people do come into Toggle without a 3D model, purchase one from us, change the texture, and then leave with something net new that you just created, which is quite exciting. We, you know, we also use this in-house for our, you know, as a search engine. So, you know, we've talked about this before.

As part of our production, we use existing 3D models to put us on the 50-yard line or 60-yard line or 70-yard line, where we're already, we already have, you know, most of what we need to deliver the, you know, the 3D model, and that saves us a lot of time. Time, bottom line with time, is it's money, for us. So this is new technology that and really new business opportunities for us, that we're super excited about. When is this actually going live for people to be able to purchase, Hareesh, the 3D models?

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

In another two weeks, Evan.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Two weeks, okay. So, you know, we use it on the back end now. In the next two weeks, we'll be announcing, you know, we'll put out another press release, Steve, announcing that, you know, this is all, this is all live now. So I just wanted to make clear.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

For our investors, and then we could jump into the jewelry, which we've also talked about, that's a new avenue of growth for us which Hareesh is going to demo and talk about.

Moderator

Yeah. Okay, Hareesh, take it away.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah. So jewelry, I think, like, you know, similar to all the mesh search and, you know, AI search that we are doing, obviously, jewelry is a big market, where obviously new jewelry designs are made every day. And, you know, customers want new designs, and our jewelry designers and the jewelry companies, they come in, and they have a lot of their 3D models. So this is, like, a 3D model of the jewelry ring, that has been created from one of our customer. And, they could easily upload this, and jewelry like this is pure gold one right now, but if I wanted to change it to, silver, I think it's as simple, right? And I can... With one model, now they can even, do, you know, multiple areas.

This is where our search engine also comes in. Like, you can say, "Oh, I just want to make it silver," and say you got metals, right? And you say, "All right, I've got all the metals," and then I can say silver, clear. I can go and select which one matches to my need, shiny or different types of silver that I have, metallic and all those things. So I can even this model, I can even do, like, you know, select all and then say, "Okay, I want it about this silver," applying that. So now you can see it's as quite simple as that. Now, I could change this into a platinum/silver kind of ring. And then, now, what we are going to do is we have photography also available through this.

You can start taking photography that will be available here. You can share, embed, you can get an embed code. You can share, you know, enable access and make it available to anyone. You can publish to, you know, such as Sketchfab as well within our tool. It's changing, you know, the texture once you get the 3D model. Like, if you don't have a 3D model, that's fine. We have, as we were just showing, a lot of mesh search capabilities, AI search capabilities, and we got that.

I think even if you have a different model, like I was searching a text, I can even do an image search, where similar to the one I was showing in the video, you can upload an image and then select, "I want this color of that image." I want that in the image, and that will be applied to the model as well. So you have a lot of combinations, and you can see our library of, you know, categories that we have here. You know, you have fabric, you have brown, you have metal, you have paving stones, you have marble, you have concrete material, like rocks, whatever, wood. So we can show multiple levels of material, and we are constantly adding more material into this as well.

Users, when they come in, have a lot more options, to-

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Can you click on the glass? Hareesh, can you change this to, like, a glass ring?

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

I just saw it was like, I, I'm thinking that could be cool. I see glass in there. It's like... No, it's like the sixth one. Yeah, there it is.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah. So let me.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Try the first one. Oh, that's like a mirror?

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah. So again, this is where I think it becomes like a gray. It shows a grayscale, but when you print it, that's where, you know, matter, it can't show transparent, right? It show as on the portal, it will show in that grayscale, but it is, you know, transparent in the background.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Okay. Can you. What is the glass, the other one on the left and the. Yeah, that one. What is it?

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah, apply that. It's just more a dark, metallic shine. So you can see here.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

How the metallic shine is coming up. So it's more, shine-wise, you know, you can see how shiny and kind of those things, elements that you can add in as well.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

YeaH.

Super cool. You know, so when you think about, prototyping, right? You're making something net new for a customer. Here's a way for you to show them different options, ask them which one they like, before you actually go into production. So again, for manufacturers, we're working with a number of manufacturers today.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Where they want to use this platform, load their CAD files on, and then, you know, change the color to either a shiny silver, gold, rose gold, and then use our photography studio to take 4K photorealistic pictures. And then they pre-sell the product before they actually even go to production, right? Because the quality of the pictures are so good that the customer sees the picture and says, "I want to buy it," or, "You know, no, I'm not interested." So-

Moderator

So, Evan, would you use this just for a, like, for a manufacturer to produce, you know, a number of these? Or could it even go down to the granular level of someone going to pick out an engagement ring and say, "Well, I like this ring, but I want this, this, and this"? Can it go down to that level?

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah, yeah. I think all scenarios are available, applicable, right, Steve? I think for manufacturers, it's a great thing to sell to the redistributors and say: "Hey, here is the model, and which one is the, you know, most sellable thing?" And kind of that market research, product market fit they can go after. And manufacturers, especially in the jewelry industry, have, you know, a lot more designs that they can show to the clients. And this enables... It's not like a catalog you can print and mail them and everything. Now, it's a very simple click of a link, and you can get to see the full catalog of a manufacturer.

Moderator

Yeah.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Individual users, I think, like, once you get to the resellers, like you have Tiffany's or one of those, some of those, they can offer this to their clients and say: "Oh, we have customization. How you want to color it?" And, like, you know, it could be, you know, Super Bowl rings that they are trying to, you know, build up, and they can try to see the logos of the winning team, for example... right? And say, "Okay, I want my," you know, like, so that's what I was trying to show here. Like, you can select your own colors, and you can even put the hex code. So it's not necessary that we use an existing texture that we have or anything. You can pick up whatever. If you have your own branding logo guidelines, you can use it as well. Right?

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Click on the red. What happens if you a re we able to just turn it red?

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah. Yep.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

So while he's playing around with that, I mean, if you think about.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

If you think about you know, manufacturers, and you think about, you know, all the different products that are being manufactured across the world, this tool is a very, very powerful tool for them, where, as you're seeing, Hareesh, he's not a graphic designer. He's pointing, and clicking, and changing the colors, right? And changing the textures, and that is Generative AI. That is not something that just happens. That's, there's algorithms that we've built and, you know, this is really the latest and greatest technology for 3D, and we're getting a lot of inbound demand gen from manufacturers that are seeing this-

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

We're demoing it, and they're saying, "I want it." And they are asking us to tweak certain things because, you know, everybody wants something a little custom for their particular use case, but we're able to, 'cause we're a technology company. So Hareesh goes back to the team, we make something custom that they want, and then, you know. So but it takes a couple of weeks. Ultimately, it takes 30, 60 days, Steve. But the point is, is we're in negotiations now with multiple enterprise accounts that are looking at this technology, and, you know, each one of these enterprise accounts are anywhere from $100-$750,000 a year in annual revenue for us, and this is really just the tip of the iceberg.

I mean, we're only talking to a handful, and really, the idea is that we're creating a platform where anybody's going to be able to load their own textures onto the platform. So their own custom textures will be able to be loaded on, and they will be able to manage the platform and create all this content on their side, without our. You know, all we're going to do is basically license them the tech, maybe create some custom features, but really, you know, our goal is just to be a technology software company that doesn't actually produce 3D models. We give you the tools to produce your own.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah.

Moderator

Yeah. So the, the data's already in, and nobody likes this ring. The red is all. Just so you know, yeah, we got that data in alreay. Hareesh, Dasha, I want to ask you that. So if it's a manufacturer or a company that's producing a lot of this data would go back. They'd be able to access the data as well, right? 'Cause that data could be, you know, really important to a company that's producing, you know, a number of different things, like rings or jewelry or whatever.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Right. Correct. Exactly, Steve, the analytics that we capture. It's one thing is, yes, creating, providing tools into this one, but the other piece is the analytics that goes behind it, which is most, you know, viewed, which is most downloaded, which is most accessed, spent more time. Like this one now, we spent almost 15, 10, 15 minutes on this one. We even track that analytics to that level. So that goes a lot into retailers or any of the manufacturers or distributors or whoever using this platform to understand user behaviors as well. So that is also what we have. So eventually, that's where as we increase our client base, as we increase, even we have now already have 200,000, and you saw the bar chart that Evan was showing earlier. If you see-. Yeah

Those are some of the analytics that we have, and that's the data is, well, very valuable to our customers.

Moderator

Yeah

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Wiill then make decisions based off that.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah. Imagine the day, Hareesh, when we have 200 million 3D models on our platform because everybody in the world is creating... You know, that's when things go viral, when-

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

E verybody becomes a creator. Right now, you know, we're doing creation, and there's a limit, you know, to what we can do.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

But the goal here is to turn the technology over to manufacturers, let them use it, and then we're going to see the platform really proliferate. And this is happening over the next couple of weeks. As Hareesh said, you know, we're launching the next generation in two weeks, and then we have more tech that we're building. Yeah. Check out the additional jewelry pieces. M aybe we'll get a buyer in our studio audience.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Maybe someone wants to buy some jewelry.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

What I also would like to show you, while that's loading, I'll show you one thing as well, like some sneak peek into our future technology that we are... You know, still, I think this is also coming soon that I want to show, AI photography that we talked a lot about. So let me, you know, show you this one. Can you guess that image is AI-rendered? We have the 3D model of that chair, and then we use the 3D model to render it, the AI-

Moderator

It looks great.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Render that image.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Right?

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

It looks very, very photorealistic. It looks amazing.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Exactly. So we can, this is also by click of a button, and, that is, this is another feature that's coming into the Toggle platform as well. So the same ring that we have seen just now, let me show you that as well. You see that?

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

So this is product. Yeah, this is product photography, again, for people that are looking. Product photography is a huge, huge pain point. Everybody that makes anything has to have, like, a whole photography studio. This eliminates that need. Back to the all-in-one solution. You got your 3D model, you got your product photography all in one.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah, exactly. And I think that's it, and it's all a click of a button within the system. It's AI-rendered, and it comes in, and, you know, those are, some of the, cool, you know, pictures that they can-

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Look at those pictures. I mean, honestly, it's impressive.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Kind of blown away that-

Moderator

That's very good. It's very good. V ery realistic.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

This was the... I was showing, doing more demos, but that's the same. That's why that picture of that earrings came from this model. Let me pop up here. See this model? This model, I was obviously changing colors because of different models, and I was showing in various demos. But that is where, with this model itself, we got, you know, this picture generated out of that, and we textured it into the gold, and then click of a button, it gets into the image as well that we can. So these are the ones. Now, as I said, we can texture whatever colors you want us showing, but that's the same one that we used, and created in full gold and generated an AI-rendered image.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

I mean, it's hard to believe that that is made by an AI algorithm. Like, there's no shutter, there's no light, like actual light, there's no lens. Like, it's an AI algorithm. I want our investors to try and wrap their heads around it, because it's not easy to understand what you're looking at. This is not product photography in the traditional sense. There's no camera, there's no lens, right? It's, different.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

It looks real, that's the thing, right? It looks like something-

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Y ou know. Yeah.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

So we think that there's an enormous, enormous market for product photography, and in fact, when you buy 3D models from Nextech now, we include some product photography with the 3D model. That's something new that we're offering now, and so we're seeing our customers... Like, I was on with one of our customers the other day, existing customer, they've bought 100 3D models, and we were talking about the product photography, and I was like, "You know, we include it," and they just signed up for 1,000 new 3D models, and with that, they get 4,000 photos included.

So that was a very big reason why they were excited to sign up for even more 3D models, because the product photography piece is a pain point for them, and we're seeing that every conversation I have with, you know, anyone in e-commerce. I mean, just think it through. You have a product, you have to take pictures, load those pictures. We do all that with a 3D model. You know, it's one and done, and that's very, very beneficial. Saves a lot of money, eh, for e-commerce businesses that we supply 3D models to.

Moderator

Yeah, makes a lot of sense. Hareesh, great update as always. Very interesting, and lots of good technology from you. Really appreciate your time. Good to see you again.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah. Thanks, Dave. Good to see you, and lots of technology, lots more coming, lots more in the pipeline. We are constantly and every day working hard to improve and get better and deliver great value and experience to our customers.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

All right.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Thank you very much.

Hareesh Achi
Head of Production, Nextech3D.AI

Thanks.

Moderator

There's Hareesh Achi, heading along his way. All right, Evan, come to that time where we're running a little short of time here, so I thought I'd give you an opportunity just to have some final thoughts on the technology that we saw today, and

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah

Moderator

Yeah, it really is. You stress it a lot, you're a technology company, and that's the key to this whole thing.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah. I mean, are there any questions, Steve, that you think are worth addressing, or.

Moderator

Yeah, of course. I mean, there's a lot of questions around revenue, and I know you've addressed revenue, already.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah.

Moderator

I know you can't sort of, you know. "What, what's the revenue going to be this year?" I don't think you can.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah

Moderator

Really address that as, as what people are hoping that you would like to say, because obviously there's rules around that.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Right.

Moderator

Rules around whether another exchange is coming. It's the usual things that we kind of get.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Got it.

Moderator

I think that you addressed all of that.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Yeah. So I would leave our investors with this, is that, you know, as an investor, you should know what you're investing in. You're investing in an AI company that uses AI to make 3D models and other technologies within that same ecosystem for different industries, primarily focused on the e-commerce market. We see increased demand for 3D content across the globe, whether it's virtual reality, augmented reality, gaming, e-commerce, digital entertainment. There's growing demand for high-quality 3D content, and our AI is helping us to automate the process of creating 3D models faster and cheaper to meet the demand. If you look at our AI, we have advanced AI technology, which we have patented... that is a big deal.

We've made significant investment into patenting our technology, and, by leveraging AI and 3D modeling, we actually believe that we can be the leaders in this space. We've reduced our costs by pivoting to India. You know, historically, traditional 3D modeling is very time-consuming, labor-intensive. Again, our AI allows us to automate repetitive tasks and save time, and ultimately increase our profit margins. If you look at industries, we're seeing on the Toggle platform, specifically, architecture, automotive, healthcare, fashion, advertising. There's a broad application and broad demand for these 3D models and product photography. And again, we think we have a competitive edge in the market with our patented technology, with our AI technology. We've spent massive amounts of time and money building this technology. We're seeing the demand. It takes time to monetize.

Technology companies, you know, they don't just explode in a day. It takes a little bit of time for the market to mature, which is happening. Even. You know, if we think about Amazon not opening Seller Central yet, that's an indication of about how early we are in this growth curve. Once they open Seller Central, that's really the first inning. We are out there hunting before the game even has really begun, because without Amazon really opening Seller Central, there's nothing that's going to move the needle in a significant, significant way. There's definitely business out there. Don't misunderstand what I'm saying. It's just that until Amazon like opens up, it's still. You know, the market is still just forming. And if you think about it from Amazon's perspective, you know, they have the long-term vision. They're not thinking four weeks.

They're not thinking 4 days, "What's my stock doing?" They're thinking 40 years! That's what they're thinking. What's going to happen over the next 4 years, 10 years, 40 years? And that's what they're building their business for, and that's why they keep winning. And so if you think about Nextech, think about us, maybe 40 years is a stretch, but think about us in terms of maybe the next 4 quarters as opposed to the next 4 days or 4 weeks.

Moderator

All right. Evan, we'll leave it there. Thanks very much. Good to see you again. It's always a pleasure to have you along, and really appreciate the insight and bringing the team in, and also showing everyone a little bit more about the technology, 'cause I know that that's key to the whole business. So appreciate your time. Thank you.

Evan Gappelberg
CEO, Nextech3D.AI

Thank you, Steve.

Moderator

All right, there is Evan Gappelberg. He is the CEO of Nextech3D.ai. And again, thanks, Hareesh Achi, as well, for joining us. And I'm Steve Darling with Proactive. Thanks again for joining us for another live stream event. We look forward to our next time together, and we'll see you down the road.
