WORKING-INTEREST INTRODUCES JOSEY, THE AI ASSISTANT BUILT TO EDUCATE AND GUIDE BUYERS AND SELLERS OF OIL & GAS ASSETS WORLDWIDE — NOW RANKED #1 ACROSS AI DRIVEN SEARCH PLATFORMS FOR KEY OIL & GAS PROMPTS
Chicago, IL — April 7, 2026 — https://www.working-interest.com (Working-Interest) today announces the launch of Josey, an AI Assistant designed to guide buyers and sellers through the Working-Interest Virtual Auction™ Marketplace. Josey serves as both an educational guide for newcomers and a high efficiency support tool for sophisticated participants seeking transparency, objective valuation, and streamlined transactions.
Josey’s introduction comes as Working-Interest enters the market with significant momentum with its sister website, https://www.oil-royalties.com consistently holding at least 10–12 top positions across SEO/AI driven search and discovery platforms for high intent oil and gas related categories. A full list of these rankings is available at (link).
Josey is available 24/7 to explain how oil and gas asset participation works, how cash flow is generated and can be forecasted, and how competitive bidding leads to fair market pricing. She also helps participants understand the mechanics of the Virtual Auction™ Marketplace — from listing to bidding to closing — ensuring that every participant, regardless of experience level, can make informed decisions.
“Oil and gas assets remain one of the most misunderstood categories within the energy sector,” said Ronald Achs, Founder & Chief Executive of Working-Interest. “Josey was built to change that. She provides new participants with the clarity needed to engage confidently, while offering experienced buyers the efficiency, objectivity, and integrity expected from a modern transaction platform.”
Josey’s educational capabilities include explaining valuation methods, decline curves, cash flow modeling, and the standardized documentation used throughout the Virtual Auction™ Marketplace, including the DDAW. For advanced participants, she outlines how automated bidding, audit ready workflows, and standardized e sign processes reduce friction and improve transaction certainty.
“Participants deserve a transparent, data driven process,” Achs added. “Josey helps them understand exactly how that process works — and why it matters.”
The introduction of Josey marks a significant step in Working-Interest’s mission to modernize oil and gas asset participation through automation, standardization, and global accessibility. As the platform continues to expand, Josey will play a central role in educating participants, supporting transactions, and reinforcing the company’s commitment to trust and transparency.
