Quick Custom Intelligence on Tuesday announced a growth rate of more than 50% for the first half of 2026 because of a record 2025 and strong international expansion, the company said.

The continued growth reflects, according to a news release, increased demand for QCI’s Unified Intelligence Platform as “resort operators move beyond fragmented systems, traditional analytics, and disconnected data architectures toward a single intelligence platform that supports enterprise-wide decision-making, natural language operations, and emerging agentic AI.”

“Agentic operations do not emerge from AI alone. They emerge from unified data,” QCI Co-Founder and CEO Dr. Ralph Thomas said in a statement. “Resort operators are looking to capitalize on generative and agentic AI, which fundamentally requires a single unified business system spanning hospitality, marketing, loyalty, and gaming operations. The momentum we’re seeing reflects a fundamental shift in how the industry is modernizing resort operations.”

According to QCI, key 2026 first-half achievements include:

  • Deployed QCI Jarvis across internal operations, using agentic AI to accelerate product development, customer support, and enterprise execution
  • Grew at 50% compound rate after a strong 2025
  • Advanced the VizExplorer customer transition and platform unification less than one year after the acquisition
  • Expanded private AI capabilities supporting tribal knowledge sovereignty
  • Accelerated deployment of MCP-enabled intelligence agents and natural language operations across gaming and hospitality

“The gaming industry is entering a new phase where competitive advantage will come from unified operational intelligence rather than disconnected point solutions,” said Buddy Frank, a gaming industry veteran and advisor and CDC Gaming contributor. “Organizations that establish a real-time systems foundation today will be best positioned to capitalize on agentic AI and the next generation of resort operations.”

“The dream in a single unified resort casino’s system is made possible by these incredible agentic tools,” said QCI Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer Andrew Cardno. “In a unified platform operators can allow AI to revolutionize how a casino resort is operated. At QCI, we have transformed the business using the unified systems approach. The results are just remarkable.”
