AI Era Corp.
AI Era Corp. (formerly AB International Group Corp.) is a Nevada-incorporated microcap company that monetizes entertainment-related intellectual property and services across several small business lines. Its revenue mix includes licensing and sales of film/TV copyrights, broadcast and download licensing to third-party platforms, a licensed NFT MMM platform, and marketing/advertising services tied to content and theaters. The company also operates a movie theater business through AB Cinemas NY, Inc. and provides consulting services related to software development, corporate restructuring, and AI-based solutions for short drama platforms. In early 2025 it sold its proprietary ABQQ.tv broadcasting platform and shifted to distributing its content via a third-party platform arrangement, while also pursuing rights related to “ufilm AI IP.”

Customers
AI Era’s customers span both consumer and business buyers depending on the revenue stream. For content IP, customers are streaming/short-drama platforms and other distributors that license broadcast and download rights, as well as buyers that acquire copyrights outright. For the NFT MMM platform, customers are licensees that pay fixed consideration for time-based access to the platform and its data via web and mobile interfaces. The theater business serves local moviegoers purchasing tickets, concessions, and gift cards, while advertisers and brands buy pre-show theater ads and embedded marketing placements inside media content. Consulting customers include companies seeking software development support, corporate restructuring/strategic advisory, and AI-based project oversight intended to improve personalization and advertising monetization for short drama platforms.
License broadcast/download rights for films and short-form drama series to offer content on their platforms; typically time-based licenses.

Strategy
The company’s near-term strategy centers on funding and liquidity: management highlights dependence on shareholder support and external financing to execute its business plan and continue as a going concern. Operationally, it is repositioning its distribution approach by selling the proprietary ABQQ.tv platform and moving to a third-party broadcasting arrangement for its film and TV drama copyrights. It is also attempting to expand monetization avenues across IP licensing/sales, NFT MMM platform licensing, embedded marketing, and consulting services tied to AI-based solutions for short drama platforms. Corporate actions such as the proposed reverse stock split and name change to AI Era Corp. reflect an effort to support capital markets objectives and corporate restructuring while pursuing new IP initiatives such as “ufilm AI IP.”
Management states execution of the business plan depends on shareholder support and external financing amid going-concern uncertainty.
Selling ABQQ.tv reduces owned-platform exposure but requires successful third-party distribution to monetize copyrights.
The company is pursuing multiple monetization paths (IP licensing/sales, NFT platform licensing, AI-related content) to diversify revenue sources.
Geography
AI Era Corp. is a U.S.-domiciled company (Nevada incorporation) with operations that include a movie theater business (AB Cinemas NY, Inc.), indicating a physical footprint in New York State. Its content licensing and platform licensing activities are delivered digitally, allowing it to serve customers outside the immediate theater catchment area, but the filings provided do not disclose a revenue split by region or country. The company’s competitive set for online distribution includes large global streaming platforms, which implies that customer acquisition and pricing pressure are influenced by global media market dynamics. Geographic concentration risk is likely higher for the theater segment because attendance depends on local demand and competition in the specific markets where the theater operates.
Risks
AI Era’s business model combines small-scale theater operations with IP licensing/sales and platform licensing, creating execution risk across multiple unrelated lines and increasing reliance on a limited number of deals. Management discloses substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, making access to financing a central risk to sustaining operations and funding content/IP acquisition. The theater segment faces structural pressure from intense local competition and the shift toward streaming, including shrinking theatrical release windows and alternative delivery methods such as premium video on demand. The digital businesses face competitive risk from much larger streaming and technology companies, as well as IP protection/infringement uncertainty and cybersecurity/information systems risks. Regulatory compliance across federal, state, local, and international regimes is also highlighted as critical, with non-compliance potentially leading to fines, restrictions, and reputational harm.
