Dallas, TX / Saint Michaels, MD, February 23, 2026 – Aligned Automation, a globalAI-powered professional technology services company, and Magi , the company behind the StyxAI cognitiveintelligence platform, today announced a strategic collaboration to help enterprises build cognitive advantage, enabling leaders to act with clarity, speed, and conviction across growth, risk, and geopolitical complexity.

“Automation and analytics are table stakes. True advantage comes from the ability to interpret complex signals, eliminate the need for teams to repeatedly verify and validate information, and make confident decisions at critical moments,” said Nitin Ahuja, CEO and Founder of Aligned Automation.

The collaboration brings together Magi’s StyxAI platform, a purpose-built small language model platform curated through more than 20 years of application in government and mission-critical environments, and Aligned Automation’s proven execution discipline and outcomes-first delivery model. Together, the companies embed cognitive intelligence directly into enterprise decision workflows, reducing noise and enabling measurable, sustained impact.

“AI has entered an accountability phase,” said Richard Davis, CEO of Magi. “Boards and executive teams are no longer asking, ‘What can AI do for me?’ They are asking whether AI can deliver the business advantage needed to compete in today’s economic environment and sustain long-term competitive advantage.”

Aligned Automation and Magi will launch the collaboration at the Innovationand AI Summit 2026 at the Rice ION District in Houston, highlighting how senior leaders are operationalizing cognitive advantage across sectors.
