About Streaks:
StreaksAI PLC is a provider of AI
based conversational technologies. The Company offers two core
products in the gaming and conversational AI
space.
For more information on the
Conversational Gaming AI product, please visit
www.playstreaks.com.
For more information on the
Conversational AI product, please visit www.streaks.ai
The Company is an AI-focused,
full-stack technology company involved in every aspect from
training the language models to constructing the user interface.
Given the nature of the fast moving Artificial Intelligence sector,
it must quickly adapt to market changes. As such, the Company
identified an opportunity to utilise its technology to develop
interactive, customisable "chatbots" and launched this product
during the financial period. The chatbots are free for limited use
and are available at a subscription for wider use. This change in
direction of the Company was reflected in the change of registered
company name from Streaks Gaming Plc to StreaksAI Plc on the
4th July 2023.
In addition, this technology is
suitable for B2B applications and the Company is working on the
development of products to fit into the music management, sports
management and celebrity sectors to enable them to increase fan
interaction and engagement.
Mr M Edwards
Non-Executive Chairman
Principal activity
The Company's principal activity
is that of a global AI-focused software development company, led by
a team experienced in this sector and in the development of
technology businesses. It is based in UK and its shares are listed
on the main market of the London Stock Exchange (ticker:STK)
.
Review of the business
Streaks Social is live and allows
users to use and customise chatbots for their own experiences. This
is free to use in a limited way and greater functionality is
available at a subscription.
In addition, the creation of
LLM-based chat technology and voice replication has allowed the
Company to develop products that are suited to the music
management, sports management and celebrity sectors which aid fan
interaction and engagement.
Current trading and outlook
StreaksAI has generated a small
amount of revenue from its interactive, customizable chatbots. This
technology is well suited to B2B fan engagement platforms and the
Company will be focusing on this area in the future.

This is how we monitor the success
of our commercial offering
|
Accuracy of AI chatbots
|
Release of chatbots with
inaccurate content is a big problem so we carefully monitor
this
|
Cash burn

Inevitably this is a key metric
and getting it to a minimum level is crucial to the
business

Principal risks and uncertainties
The Board consider that the
principal risks revolve around the ability to create and monetise
opportunities within the AI sector.
The Company operates in a changing
environment and is subject to a number of risk factors. The Board
consider the following to be of particular relevance but this is by
no means an exhaustive list, as there may be other risk factors not
currently known.
Risks Relating to the AI
Sector
Whilst forecasts suggest that the
AI sector will grow quickly in the coming years, there is no
guarantee that this is the case. At some point, growth will slow
and this may lead to stagnation of revenues and aggressive
competition.
Whilst relatively immature, the AI
sector is becoming increasingly competitive new entrants are often
well resourced and this may lead to difficulties in competing with
marketing expenditure to attract participants.
The Company relies up on
3rd party developers to produce the "full stack" and has
relationships with several of these. The use of 3rd
party developers means that the Company has a risk that the
development may not be done in a timely or accurate
manner.
Risks Relating to the Company's
Business Strategy
The Company is an early stage
business. The Company's competition may be more established
companies who may have more resources and a more recognisable brand
presence in the market. The Directors believe that the Company's
team has the experience and connections to ensure that the business
is able to compete with established rivals and take advantage of
market opportunities they have identified.
Attracting high profile
individuals to Streaks Social requires careful negotiation and
popular celebrities may be presented with multiple offers, not just
from the Company. As such, this competitive environment may lead to
a slower than forecasted take up rate of subscribers.
For all other risks, please see
note 15.
Company's S172 Statement
The Directors believe they have
acted in the way most likely to promote the success of the Company
for the benefit of its members as a whole, as required by s172 of
the Companies Act 2006.
The requirements of s172 are for
the Directors to:
· Consider the likely consequences of any decision in the long
term,
· Act
fairly between the members of the Company,
· Maintain a reputation for high standards of business
conduct,
· Consider the interests of the Company's employees,
· Foster
the Company's relationships with suppliers, customers and others,
and
· Consider the impact of the Company's operations on the
community and the environment.
The Company operates as an
organisation within a fast‐growing and developing AI
environment, and at times may be dependent on
fund‐raising for
continued operation and/or growth. The nature of the business is
understood by the Company's members, employees and suppliers, and
the Directors are transparent about the cash position and funding
requirements. The Company's employees are fundamental to the
success of the business.
The directors understand that it
is critical to engage with and understand their views and to ensure
that all employees' interests are considered. To strengthen
employee engagement, the Directors promote and encourage all
employees to raise any concerns or suggestions with senior
management without hesitation. Stakeholder engagement is
fundamental to the Company's strategy. The application of the s172
requirements can be demonstrated in relation to the some of the key
decisions made during the period:
