Press Release article 13 of 14, Source: Nasdaq Stock Exchange, 482 words Oct 06, 2026: Railtown AI Launches Native Swift Agent Development Technology for the Next Generation of Agentic Applications New Railtracks for Swift ADK and Railengine Swift SDK bring native agent development, cross-device context, and accountability to Apple platforms as Railtown advances its vision for private, secure, and observable agentic software. Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 6, 2026) - Railtown AI Technologies Inc. (CSE: RAIL) (OTCQB: RLAIF) ("Railtown" or the "Company") today announced the launch of a native Railtracks Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Swift and a new Swift SDK for Railengine, bringing Railtown's agentic application infrastructure directly into the development ecosystem used to build applications across Apple platforms. The launch reflects a broader conviction at Railtown: Apple's ecosystem has the potential to become one of the defining platforms for the next generation of agentic software. Software is beginning to move beyond applications that simply wait for users to tell them what to do. The next generation of applications will increasingly understand context, reason across information, use tools, collaborate with other agents and take actions on a user's behalf. That transition changes what developers need from a computing platform. Agents need intelligence, but intelligence alone is not enough. They need context. They need to move with users across their digital lives while respecting privacy and security. And as agents become capable of taking increasingly consequential actions, users and enterprises need visibility and accountability into what those agents are doing. Railtown believes Apple's combination of devices, silicon, native development technologies, on-device intelligence, privacy architecture and tightly integrated ecosystem creates a compelling foundation for this emerging model of computing. Railtown is building the agentic infrastructure around that foundation. Building Agentic Applications Natively in Swift Swift has become central to the native development experience across Apple platforms, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple Vision Pro. Railtown's new Railtracks ADK for Swift brings its agent development technology directly into that environment, giving Swift developers native building blocks for creating agentic applications, including agents, tools, orchestration, workflows and multi-agent systems. Rather than treating AI as an external service simply connected to an application, Railtown believes agentic capabilities should increasingly become a native part of the application architecture itself. Railtracks for Swift is designed to allow developers to combine agentic reasoning with the frameworks, models and capabilities available across Apple platforms, opening the door to a new generation of applications that can understand, reason and act within the environments where users already work, communicate and create. From Individual Devices to Continuous Agentic Experiences Railtown is also bringing Railengine to Swift through a new native SDK, providing developers with a contextual intelligence layer for agentic applications. The future of personal agents will not be confined to a single application session or a single device. A user may capture information on an iPhone, continue working on a Mac and later interact with an agent that needs to understand the context of both experiences.
