In the letter, Phunware expressed intentions to enhance its AI-powered platform which focuses on advocacy and voter engagement. The company highlighted its previous success with the app created for the Donald Trump 2020 Presidential Campaign, which was well-recognized for facilitating voter engagement and advocacy.

The company stated, “It is more important than ever for Phunware to help political candidates and voters connect, engage and participate in the voting process, and for individuals and organizations to become knowledgeable about, educate others about, and advocate for events, causes, and issues that are important to them. Our platform can help them do just that.”

Additionally, Phunware announced the introduction of a new generative AI platform that aims to make the design, user experience, and content creation process easier for businesses. This new system is expected to allow companies to design, create, build, and launch customized mobile apps in just days or even hours.

The firm anticipates that new AI features will be added to all its mobile app offerings, with the AI-powered software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform set to launch in mid-2025. Phunware also plans to incorporate AI-driven predictive analytics into the platform by the third quarter of 2025.

A spokesperson for Phunware stated, “Our customers like what we do for them, and significantly, we are receiving excellent word-of-mouth references which are rapidly accelerating our growth among major clients.”

As the year comes to a close, Phunware is concentrating on expanding sales, hiring experienced sales and marketing professionals, and launching new initiatives to reach different markets. The goal is to establish itself as a leading mobile company on a global scale.
