BrandPilot AI converts higher education trial to commercial agreement

Paid Pilot Advances into Ongoing Customer Relationship Following Successful Initial Deployment

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 4, 2026) - BrandPilot AI Inc. (CSE: BPAI) (OTCQB: BPAIF) ("BrandPilot" or the "Company"), a provider of AI-powered advertising performance technology focused on reducing fraud, waste and abuse in digital advertising, today announced that its previously disclosed engagement with an accredited online higher education institution in the United States has progressed from a paid pilot into an ongoing commercial relationship.

As previously announced on May 14, 2026, the customer selected BrandPilot's AdAi platform to improve advertising performance and media efficiency across select digital advertising campaigns. Following the successful completion of the initial pilot, the customer elected to continue the relationship under an ongoing commercial agreement.

The agreement is ongoing in nature and will remain in effect unless terminated by either party in accordance with its terms. Consistent with BrandPilot's business model, the engagement is performance-based and does not include a fixed contract value. Revenue earned by the Company will depend on realized advertising savings generated through the deployment of its technology.

During the pilot, BrandPilot's AdAi platform reduced average cost-per-click by approximately 33% period-over-period while maintaining campaign performance.

"We're pleased to see another enterprise pilot transition into an ongoing commercial relationship," said Brandon Mina, Chief Executive Officer of BrandPilot AI. "Organizations increasingly want to validate measurable advertising efficiency improvements before making longer-term technology commitments. We believe this conversion reflects the value our platform delivers and further demonstrates the scalability of our performance-based commercial model."

Seif Khemaissia, Chief Growth Officer of BrandPilot AI, added:

"Converting paid pilots into ongoing customer relationships remains an important milestone for the business. As more enterprise organizations prioritize efficiency, accountability and measurable performance improvements, we believe BrandPilot is well positioned to support those objectives."

The Company believes successful pilot conversions represent an important component of its long-term growth strategy as it continues expanding relationships with enterprise organizations across multiple industries.
