Veritone, Inc., a leader in enterprise AI and data solutions, is well-positioned to capitalize on the shift toward agentic AI systems. As agents move from experimentation to autonomous execution across enterprise workflows, the critical value migrates from user interfaces to trusted data inputs, governed outputs, and orchestration capabilities—areas where Veritone’s aiWARE platform and Veritone Data Refinery (VDR) deliver core strengths.

Quick Intel

  • Veritone’s aiWARE platform serves as a model-agnostic orchestration layer, routing work across multiple AI engines while enforcing policy-based governance, provenance, and auditability.
  • Veritone Data Refinery (VDR) ingests, normalizes, enriches, and attaches rights/provenance to unstructured data (especially audio and video), transforming it into AI-ready, transactable assets.
  • Agentic AI compresses traditional SaaS models by automating tasks, placing greater importance on data quality, legality, and decision transparency—precisely where Veritone operates.
  • The company’s solutions are already deployed in high-stakes environments, including support for the Air Force Office of Special Investigations to accelerate data analysis, investigative workflows, and situational awareness.
  • Veritone emphasizes verifiable inference activity, cost tracking, performance monitoring, and outcome logging—essential requirements when agents act autonomously on behalf of organizations.
  • As AI expands, high-quality, domain-specific, rights-cleared data becomes the primary bottleneck; Veritone’s data-native applications address this need in regulated sectors.

The Shift to Agent-Driven Workflows

Traditional SaaS value has centered on user-facing interfaces and task execution. With agentic AI automating clicks, forms, handoffs, and decisions, enterprises prioritize platforms that ensure trusted data, enforceable policies, and transparent orchestration. Single-model lock-in, opaque execution, and ungoverned actions are no longer acceptable in production environments.

aiWARE functions as a control plane for agentic systems, orchestrating workflows across diverse AI engines, applying governance at scale, and maintaining a verifiable system of record for all inference activity. This enables organizations to confidently scale agents while preserving compliance, auditability, and accountability.

Unstructured Data as the New Bottleneck

As AI adoption grows, the availability of high-quality, rights-cleared unstructured data—particularly audio and video—determines what can be scaled safely. VDR addresses this by refining raw media into AI-ready assets with embedded provenance and rights metadata, making data both usable and transactable in agent-driven ecosystems.

Veritone’s applications are architected around this data-native foundation, operating in regulated, high-consequence environments where chain-of-custody, evidentiary integrity, and policy enforcement are non-negotiable.

“As agentic AI compresses SaaS and automates workflows, value shifts to trusted data, governance, and orchestration,” said Ryan Steelberg, Chairman, President and CEO of Veritone. “Veritone sits at that layer, where we believe enterprise demand and economic value will increasingly concentrate. We process and tokenize unstructured data into AI-ready assets and enforce provenance and policy at scale to help enterprises confidently scale AI.”

With agents increasingly acting autonomously, Veritone’s platform provides the connective tissue—trusted inputs, governed outputs, and orchestration—positioning the company as a critical enabler in the emerging AI agent economy.
