Provides aiWARE-based AI software, applications, and services for commercial enterprises and public-sector users. The platform turns structured and unstructured data into insights across cloud, edge, and hybrid deployments, while the business has moved from advertising services toward core software and applications.
Built around aiWARE, a proprietary AI operating system that combines machine-learning models and applications to draw insights from structured and unstructured data. The platform can run in cloud, edge, or hybrid environments.
Commercial Enterprise and Public Sector are the two target markets. Its software, applications, and related services extend beyond the original audio-and-video analysis focus; the Broadbean acquisition added talent-acquisition SaaS to its HR application area.
The sale of the Veritone One advertising agency narrowed the business toward core software and applications. Execution depends on aiWARE remaining attractive as technology changes rapidly and on meeting secure-cloud or private/on-premises deployment needs for some government customers.
