Staff’s comment: We note your response to prior comment 15. Please clarify (1) if the software released on July 18, 2024 as indicated in the table on page 163 of the Amendment was release 1.0 of Gen 1 or something else and (2) what you mean by “previous ones are already closed.”
Response: The Registrant respectfully acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and respectfully advises the Staff that “released (July 18, 2024)” was used inadvertently with respect
to the Gen 1.0 version projects and have revised the disclosure on page 167 of the amendment to remove this date. The Registrant further
advises the Staff that the Gen 1.0 version is essentially a beta testing version of the software that has already been released or “closed”
but which continues to be developed into the Gen 1.1 version. The Registrant plans to commercially release the Gen 1.1 version of the
software in Q1 2025.
