Star Metro - AIAI Deploys Bid Accelerator, Showcasing Its Transformational AI Integration Strategy

DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / July 22, 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 announced the deployment of Bid Accelerator a custom built application developed under the Company's Transformational AI (TAI) Integration Playbook, which was introduced in June to provide a disciplined framework for identifying, designing and implementing AI-enabled value creation opportunities across its portfolio companies. The application is being deployed within the wholly owned subsidiary C.C. Carlton Industries ("CCCI"), serving as a foundational demonstration of that strategy.

"Our June announcement introduced the framework for integrating Transformational AI across our portfolio," said Todd Furniss, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of AIAI Holdings." The deployment of Bid Accelerator is a perfect example of the operational implementation of that strategy. More importantly, it demonstrates how our integration playbook moves from assessment to purpose-built AI solutions that address real operational challenges. We built Bid Accelerator by analyzing over $7 Billion from over 1500 bids developed by CCCI. The initial results have been profound. As Bid Accelerator continues learning from CCCI's workflows and operational data, we believe it will deliver increasing value over time while establishing a repeatable model for future applications across our portfolio."

Bid Accelerator is designed to augment CCCI's experienced estimating professionals by streamlining bid preparation, preserving institutional knowledge and continuously learning from operational data. This makes every professional more productive and more focused on winning opportunities. Continuous learning enables organizations to further improve proposal quality, increase bid capacity, and enhance contract win rates over time. We expect the resulting productivity improvements and operational efficiencies will begin contributing to financial performance during the first half of 2027.

"The knowledge and judgment of our estimating professionals are among CCCI's most valuable assets," said Ben Lyon, Chief Executive Officer of C.C. Carlton Industries. "Bid Accelerator is designed to amplify that expertise by continuously learning from every bid and equipping our estimating professionals with increasingly intelligent decision support. We believe it will help us pursue more opportunities, improve proposal quality, increase contract win rates and strengthen our competitive position as we continue to grow."

Bid Accelerator is a key demonstration of Ai²'s broader Transformational AI strategy and provides a repeatable model for future deployments across the Company's portfolio. As additional applications are developed and implemented, each deployment is expected to expand Ai²'s operational intelligence, refine its integration playbook, accelerate future implementations and strengthen the Company's growing library of proprietary AI capabilities designed to enhance productivity, improve decision-making and create long-term shareholder value.
