Description of Business | NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Description of Business Veritone, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Veritone”) (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, collectively, the “Company”), is a provider of artificial intelligence (“AI”) computing solutions. The Company has developed aiWARETM, a proprietary AI operating system that integrates and orchestrates an open ecosystem of top performing cognitive engines, together with a suite of powerful applications, to reveal valuable multivariate insights from vast amounts of unstructured and structured data and conduct cognitive workflows based on these insights. The Company’s aiWARE platform incorporates proprietary technology to integrate and intelligently orchestrate a wide variety of cognitive engine capabilities to mimic human cognitive functions such as perception, prediction and problem solving in order to quickly, efficiently and cost effectively transform unstructured data into structured data. aiWARE stores the results in a time-correlated database, creating a rich, online, searchable index of the unstructured and structured data that users can use and analyze in near real-time through the platform’s suite of general and industry-specific applications to drive processes and insights. aiWARE is based on an open architecture that enables new cognitive engines and applications to be added quickly and efficiently, resulting in a future-proof, scalable and evolving solution that can be easily leveraged for a broad range of industries that capture or use audio, video and other unstructured data, including, without limitation, the media and entertainment, government, legal and compliance, and other vertical markets. The Company also offers cloud-native digital content management solutions and content licensing services, primarily to customers in the media and entertainment market. These offerings leverage the Company’s aiWARE technologies, providing customers with unique capabilities to enrich and drive expanded revenue opportunities from their content. In addition, the Company operates a full-service advertising agency. The Company’s advertising services include media planning and strategy, advertisement buying and placement, campaign messaging, clearance verification and attribution, and custom analytics, specializing in host-endorsed and influencer advertising across primarily radio, podcasting, streaming audio, social media and other digital media channels.
