Arizona Tribune - AIAI Holdings Unveils AI Integration Playbook for Portfolio Companies

DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / June 23, 2026 / AIAI Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ:AIAI) ("Ai²" or the "Company"), an AI-enabled diversified holding company utilizing Transformational AI (TAI) to enhance portfolio performance, today announces its strategic and comprehensive post-acquisition AI integration framework, pursuant to which it will identify, design, and implement AI-enabled value creation opportunities across the Company's portfolio businesses. This disciplined, repeatable playbook is expected to move portfolio companies from initial operational assessment to active Transformational AI implementation, fundamentally redefining their financial potential.

"Transformational AI is intelligence grounded in a business's actual operations, acting as a core driver of value rather than an add-on," said Todd Furniss, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of AIAI Holdings Corporation. "At Ai² we don't sell this technology, we buy companies then bake it into their DNA, converting complex services into durable cash flows. This requires meeting each portfolio company where it is today, understanding its workflows and data environment, and then building the appropriate foundation for AI-enabled value creation. Disorganized or incomplete data is not a weakness; it is the norm. Identifying, organizing, and analyzing that information is a critical part of the transformation process. Once that foundation is in place, we can implement targeted AI and operational strategies designed to drive both revenue growth and EBITDA expansion wherever the greatest opportunities exist."

The framework provides Ai² with a disciplined, repeatable process for assessing newly acquired and existing portfolio companies, identifying practical AI-enabled value creation opportunities, evaluating operational and data readiness, and developing phased implementation plans that can be executed responsibly over time.

The Company is also pleased to announce that C.C. Carlton Industries ("CCCI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ai² and a Central Texas construction company with more than 30 years of operating history, is among the first Ai² portfolio companies to move through the Company's structured Transformational AI assessment and onboarding process.

"C.C. Carlton Industries is excited to be an initial benefactor of Ai²'s Transformational AI integration framework," said Ben Lyon, CEO of C.C. Carlton Industries. "As an operating business with established workflows, project complexity, customer requirements, safety considerations, and opportunities for process improvement, we believe TAI assessment process can help identify practical opportunities to improve efficiency, quality, safety, speed to completion, and decision-making over time."

The Company expects that early implementation work will help establish repeatable processes and reusable AI tools that can support future acquisitions and additional portfolio company integrations. Over time, Ai² intends to build a portfolio-wide Transformational AI playbook that can support faster assessment, improved execution and scalability across diverse industries.

The Company emphasized that the framework is not intended to represent a complete enterprise-wide transformation of each acquired business. Rather, the objective is to ensure that meaningful Transformational AI integration begins early in the ownership cycle, with selected use cases identified, prioritized, tested, and moved into active implementation during the initial post-acquisition period.
