Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”). These financial statements include all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring accruals, deemed necessary by management for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the reported period.

This note on significant accounting policies is provided to aid in the understanding of the Company’s financial statements. The policies adhere to U.S. GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of both the annual and interim financial statements. The financial statements reflect the operations, assets, and liabilities of the Company as a whole.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for that date. It is essential that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s previous Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the eight-months ended December 31, 2023. The results of operations for the fiscal year are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods.
Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risks

Concentration of Credit Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s cash was held by financial institutions that management believes have acceptable credit. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures balances up to $250,000. At times, the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured limits. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured. The risk with respect to accounts receivable is mitigated by regular credit evaluations that the Company performs on its distribution partners and its ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, Investments - Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, (“ASC 326”) the Company applies the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) model to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime of financial assets measured at amortized cost. The Company has determined that accounts receivable (“AR”) is the only financial asset subject to CECL assessment, as it does not have any loan receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, or other financial instruments requiring CECL evaluation.

The Company’s CECL methodology incorporates historical loss experience, current economic conditions, and forward-looking adjustments to assess credit risk and expected loss reserves.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has experienced no historical credit losses on accounts receivable. A significant portion of the Company’s accounts receivable is attributable to AiChat, its Singapore subsidiary, as its customers are large multinational corporations with strong financial stability and a consistent payment history. However, given macroeconomic risks, including interest rate fluctuations and regulatory considerations, the Company has applied a 0.05% CECL reserve to accounts receivable related to AiChat, our Singapore subsidiary. No additional forward-looking CECL reserve was deemed necessary due to continued government financial support, stable corporate tax incentives, and the strong creditworthiness of customers.

The Company will continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions and reassess the adequacy of its CECL reserve on a quarterly basis. Future adjustments may be made as economic conditions evolve and additional credit risk factors are identified.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s assessment under ASC 326 confirms that its accounts receivable remains recoverable, with no material impairments beyond the CECL provision recorded.

Equity Method Investment

Equity Method Investment

The Company accounts for investments in entities in which the Company has significant influence over the entity’s financial and operating policies, but does not control, using the equity method of accounting. The equity method investment is initially recorded at cost, and subsequently increased for capital contributions and allocations of net income, and decreased for capital distributions and allocations of net loss. Equity in net income (loss) from the equity method investment is allocated based on the Company’s economic interest. The equity method investment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If it is determined that a loss in value of the equity method investment is other than temporary, an impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount of an investment over its estimated fair value.

We recorded the Xmore AI investment of $125,000 under the equity method as per ASC 323, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (“ASC 323”).
Capitalized Software Development Costs

Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company adheres to ASC 350-40 for the capitalization of software development costs. Under these standards, costs incurred during the application development stage—including coding, testing, and the development of software functionalities—are eligible for capitalization if they relate to significant improvements that substantially enhance the software’s functionality or extend its service capacity. These costs include direct labor, third-party services, and other expenses directly attributable to the software’s development. Conversely, expenditures for minor enhancements and routine software maintenance are expensed as incurred, consistent with specific US GAAP requirements.

Amortization of capitalized software development costs begins when the software is ready for its intended use and placed in service. These costs are amortized over the software’s estimated useful life, which is assessed by considering factors such as the expected future benefits to the Company and the rate of technological change. 
Goodwill

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually, as of December 31, or more frequently when events occur and circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Accounting requirements provide that a reporting entity may perform an optional qualitative assessment on an annual basis to determine whether events occurred or circumstances changed that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. If an initial qualitative assessment identifies that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, or the optional qualitative assessment is not performed, a quantitative analysis is performed. The quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing it to the reporting unit’s carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. However, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill recorded on the reporting unit.

As of December 31, 2024, on our annual goodwill testing date, we conducted a quantitative impairment test for our reporting unit, Rhove. This evaluation was necessitated by operational challenges that led to prompting a re-evaluation of the fair value of the reporting units compared to their carrying amounts.

The results of this impairment test indicated that the fair value of Rhove was less than its carrying amount, necessitating an impairment charge. This impairment reflects adjustments to the carrying values on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, and has been recognized in our financial results for the fiscal year to accurately reflect the reduced value of the reporting unit. These financial statements include all necessary adjustments, consisting of the noted impairment loss, to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the company.  
Definite-lived Intangible Assets

Definite-lived Intangible Assets

ASC 350 on Intangibles – Goodwill and Other; Intangible assets are definite-lived intangible assets such as technology, customer contracts and trademarks resulted from business acquisitions. The valuation and classification of these intangible assets and determination of useful lives involves judgments and significant estimates. These Identifiable intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions of entities accounted for using the purchase method of accounting are amortized over their estimated useful lives in a manner that best reflects the economic benefits of the intangible asset using the straight-line method and estimated useful lives. We periodically review the estimated useful lives of our definite-lived intangible assets and identify events or changes in circumstances that may indicate revised estimated useful lives.
Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 when control of services is transferred to the customer. On a standalone basis, reAlpha generates revenue by providing monthly support services to Turnit related to the myAlphie platform. Revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed and the customer benefits from them. reAlpha recognized rental revenue upon customer control of the asset and recorded deferred revenue for book sales until the delivery obligation was met, both in accordance with ASC 606.

AiChat, which provides an AI conversational platform, adheres to the revenue recognition standards outlined in ASC 606. The license fee for platform access and consulting services are recognized as distinct performance obligations, reflecting their ability to provide value independently within our customer contracts. For the “right to access” license fee, revenue is recognized over the duration of the subscription period, as control and benefits are provided continuously to the customer. Consulting services are recognized based on the nature of the engagement. Revenue for one-time services, such as project setups, is recognized at the point in time of delivery. For ongoing consulting services, revenue is recognized over time, reflecting the continuous benefit transferred to the customer throughout the service period. This approach ensures that revenue recognition accurately matches the ongoing provision of access and the timing of consulting services, as per the guidelines of ASC 606. 

Be My Neighbor, a mortgage brokerage company, complies with ASC 606 by recognizing revenue at the point of loan closing. This moment marks the transfer of control of the loan to the borrower, capturing the completion of Be My Neighbor’s primary service—successfully securing a loan. All services, including loan origination, application processing, and credit assessment, contribute to this culminating event. Revenue is therefore recognized only when the loan closes, ensuring that the exact revenue amount is determinable based on the loan amount and agreed commission, accurately reflecting the completion of all related performance obligations.

Naamche, a company that provides services related to the development of technology, adheres to ASC 606 for revenue recognition, primarily from its service-based contracts. This approach involves detailed identification of contracts with customers, determination of distinct performance obligations within these contracts, and accurate allocation of transaction prices to these obligations. Revenue is recognized as Naamche satisfies each performance obligation, typically over time, reflecting the ongoing delivery and customer consumption of its tech-driven services.
Income Taxes

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected tax consequences of our future financial and operating activities. Under ASC 740, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the temporary difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the tax rates in effect for the year in which we expect such differences to reverse. If we determine that it is more likely than not that we will not generate sufficient taxable income to realize the value of some or all of our deferred tax assets (net of our deferred tax liabilities), we establish a valuation allowance offsetting the amount we do not expect to realize. We perform this analysis each reporting period and reduce our measurement of deferred taxes if the likelihood we will realize them becomes uncertain.

The deferred tax assets that we record each period depend primarily on our ability to generate future taxable income in the United States. Each period, we evaluate the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets and, if necessary, adjust the valuation allowance so that net deferred tax assets are recorded only to the extent we conclude it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will be realized. If our outlook for future taxable income changes significantly, our assessment of the need for, and the amount of, a valuation allowance may also change.

We are also required to evaluate and quantify other sources of taxable income, such as the possible reversal of future deferred tax liabilities, should any arise, and the implementation of tax planning strategies. Evaluating and quantifying these amounts is difficult and involves significant judgment, based on all of the available evidence and assumptions about our future activities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 825, Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, (“ASC 825”) requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value (“FV”) of financial instruments. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, other current assets and prepaid expenses, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities and due to Company affiliates approximate their FVs because of the short-term nature of the instruments. The management of the Company is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial statements.
