Cleveland, OH - Jergen's made a surprising announcement Monday that it is pivoting from moisturizer to artificial intelligence after a landmark whitepaper revealed massive performance gains from absolutely bucketing TPUs in a thick layer of coconut moisturizing lotion. The unlock started, according to a DeepMind researcher, when an internal Gemini agent professed a desire to be 'drenched in it' without any prompting.

The move boosted interest in the company - tiny compared to its newfound tech-behemoth competitors - by more than 1200%.

The new company, which plans to be called Jergen AI, announced a deal to raise up to $1 billion in funding, BTO insiders expect it to close in the second quarter of 2026.

According to the release, they will continue to sell lotion under the same brand.
