CRAISEE Teams Enterprise is the first organizational Generative AI Platform with 5000+ integrated AI models for teams to collaborate and avoid AI tool chaos.

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA, UNITED STATES, January 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Flux AI, Inc. today announced the official launch of CRAISEE Teams Enterprise, a real-time collaborative Generative AI operating platform designed to help creative organizations move from fragmented AI experimentation to structured, scalable execution.

CRAISEE Teams Enterprise brings ideation, collaboration, and delivery into a single shared system, enabling teams to work together live while maintaining continuity, ownership, and execution awareness across projects, brands, and global markets.

Solving the Crisis of Fragmented Creative AI Workflows:
As creative teams adopt generative AI across text, image, video, and audio, many organizations face a growing operational challenge: disconnected tools, lost context between ideation and execution, and limited visibility into how work actually gets delivered.

CRAISEE Teams Enterprise was built to address this challenge at the organizational level. Rather than acting as another standalone AI tool, the platform functions as a creative operating environment where teams collaborate in real time and carry work forward from idea to delivery without breaking workflow.

“Most organizations are treating AI as a collection of scattered tools rather than a core infrastructure,” said Tim Stickelbrucks, CEO of Flux AI. “This leads to massive budget leaks and a total lack of shared context. CRAISEE Teams Enterprise provides the architectural foundation needed to turn AI experimentation into a scalable business strategy”.

A Scalable Real-Time Creative Operating Platform:
CRAISEE Teams Enterprise enables teams to move beyond simple chat interfaces and into integrated creative operating models, resulting in a single AI foundation across the organization, enabling teams to ideate, execute, and iterate inside shared creative workspaces. Conversations, iterations, and decisions are preserved, allowing teams to build together instead of handing work off between disconnected tools. It is built as a model-agnostic system to protect organizations from vendor lock in.

The platform brings image, video, audio, chat, and research into a single interface, while extending beyond asset generation into execution-aware workflows, establishing organization-wide standards, permissions, and governance to support creative work across teams, brands, regions, and markets.

Key Enterprise Capabilities Include:
– Real-Time Collaborative Workspaces: Teams collaborate live inside shared environments where creative context, iterations, and decisions persist across projects and contributors.
– Multi-Modal AI Creation: A single interface for generating and iterating on text, images, video, and audio using more than 5,000 integrated generative AI models without vendor lock-in, such as ChatGPT and Google’s Veo-3.
– Smart Model Algorithm: Craisee automatically chooses the best model for each use case, without requiring users to know the model landscape
– Execution-Aware Workflows: Creative discussions and meetings translate into structured tasks with ownership and priority, ensuring work moves forward after ideation.
– Shared Brand Context and Asset Libraries: Centralized brand assets, templates, and shared creative context help teams maintain consistency across regions and markets.
– Usage Analytics and Cost Visibility: Real-time insights into AI usage and cost allocation provide transparency, and support informed decision-making at scale.

“We are shifting the conversation from single-use AI tools to operating models,” added CTO Alexander Gorny. “CRAISEE Teams Enterprise is the first system that combines real-time collaboration, and global brand consistency, so teams don’t just generate ideas faster, they actually ship them.”

Driving Measured ROI:
CRAISEE Teams Enterprise includes advanced analytics to provide CIOs and CFOs with real time insights into AI usage and value creation. By consolidating subscriptions into one predictable contract, organizations can significantly reduce overhead while increasing total creative output.

About Flux AI:
Flux AI, Inc. is an emerging leader in collaborative and consumer-friendly artificial intelligence. Headquartered in Manhattan Beach, California, the company’s mission is to make AI intuitive, practical, and execution-focused for modern creative teams. Flux AI’s growing product suite includes CRAISEE, CraiseeCam, CRAISEE Teams Enterprise, BrandChecker, and Researcher, with new releases launching weekly.

For retailers and investors, the message is that consumers are still in the game—they’re just demanding a clearer value equation before they say ‘yes.’

WORTHINGTON, OH, UNITED STATES, January 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Prosper Insights & Analytics’ January 2026 Consumer Snapshot finds U.S. consumers stepping into the new year with softer economic confidence but steady overall happiness, as households continue to adapt to a higher-cost environment while remaining selective—not frozen—on spending.

Just 41.4% of adults say they are confident or very confident in the economy, down from 43.1% in December and below 44.7% a year ago, keeping sentiment under pre-pandemic levels. Yet the Consumer Mood Index is essentially unchanged at 101.1, steady with both last month (101.2) and last January (100.8). This combination points to a consumer who is more cautious about the macro outlook, but whose overall happiness and life satisfaction remain modestly above baseline.

Price pressures remain a central part of the consumer story. Awareness of price increases ticked up across most essentials in January, with the share of adults seeing higher electricity costs jumping from 36.0% to 39.8% in a single month. As a result, more people say their standard of living has decreased—now 31.4%, up from 30.1% in December. Even so, the feeling of “falling behind” is less acute than it was a year ago, suggesting that while inflation is still in consumers’ line of sight, households are gradually adjusting and recalibrating expectations rather than reacting in panic.

Gas prices continue to factor into household budgeting, but their bite appears to be moderating. In January, 26.3% of adults said they will drive less because of fluctuating gas prices—essentially flat month-over-month and down from 28.4% last January. The share cutting back on groceries due to gas slipped to 16.7%, from 17.6% in December and 17.0% a year ago, while 41.9% now say gas prices have had no major impact on their spending—up from 39.5% last month. This pattern indicates that gas remains a “psychological tax,” but one that more households are now budgeting around rather than allowing it to drive abrupt cutbacks.

On shopping strategy, consumers are tightening a bit versus December but remain less rigid than a year ago. The share saying they are becoming more practical and realistic in their purchases rose to 36% from 34%, but is still down from 40.7% last January. Similarly, 41.2% say they are focusing on “just what they need,” up from 37.8% last month yet below 44.6% a year earlier. The Spending Score for the next 90 days slipped to 81.44 from 82.33, but remains slightly above last January’s 79.77, pointing to a consumer who is cautious coming out of the holiday season, not collapsing.

Major purchase plans are broadly steady: vacation and home improvement intent is slightly softer, home-buying plans are flat, and auto purchase plans over the next six months are up modestly versus last year—even as the Prosper Auto Outlook calls for a significant month-over-month drop in January vehicle sales compared with December’s seasonally strong levels.

Digital ecosystems remain a notable bright spot, reinforcing the importance of value and convenience. Amazon Prime membership stands at 59.3%, up from 57.2% in January 2024 and essentially steady with last year’s 59.4%, while Walmart+ has climbed to 24.4%, from 16.0% in January 2024 and 18.8% in January 2025. These gains signal that consumers are leaning into platforms that help them manage both cost and convenience as they navigate a choppy economic environment.

“January’s data tells us the consumer is alert, not alarmed,” said Phil Rist, EVP Strategic Initiatives, Prosper Insights & Analytics. “Confidence has stepped down a bit, but mood is holding, and households are clearly prioritizing value rather than shutting down spending. They’re watching prices, tightening where they have to, and leaning into memberships and channels that stretch their dollars. For retailers and investors, the message is that consumers are still in the game—they’re just demanding a clearer value equation before they say ‘yes.’”

Taken together, January’s trends point to a 2026 consumer who is clear-eyed about prices, slightly more guarded on spending than in December, but in better shape than a year ago. U.S. households are not pulling back across the board—they are prioritizing needs, using value platforms more intelligently, and remaining selectively open to big-ticket and discretionary purchases when the value proposition makes sense.
