Veritone Inc (VERI)

[GBR]

Automate Studio has never been in a press release. It has never been reported in a business article. The only way for an investor to know about Automate Studio is to listen to, or read the transcript of the conference call 2 quarters ago. You could go to aiware.com and learn about automate studio, but Veritone still has not even said anything about aiware.com.

Remember on Veritone.com when they used to have Automate listed as an application? Then they removed it.

While any frustrated investor can chalk this up to stupidity, come on, they are not stupid. Of course they would be marketing Automate Studio right now if they thought it was a good thing to do. Obviously they don't want to.

They have said they are rolling it out to their partners first. Ryan Steelberg said in an interview with Chesapeak Systems that after rolling it out to partners they would launch it to anyone by the 1st or second quarter of 2020.

Well now its on aiWARE.com, but not yet announced.

This can't be stupidity, it's strategic. And when we see things that resemble Automate Studio, I think it should be encouraging, because if these are in fact competing offerings, then Veritone would be marketing Automate Studio. But they're not. So it might be wise to listen to what Veritone is saying.They have been rolling it out to their partners, and will launch it to the rest of the world in the near future. It's these partners that can scale aiWARE, not Veritone alone. So from that perspective it's understandable to me why they're not marketing. I've placed my bets. Locked and loaded, and we'll see what happens.
