Veritone Launches New AI-Powered Assess Tool to Accelerate Public Sector Investigations, Audits and Compliance

Veritone Assess helps public sector organizations streamline complex documentation by uncovering inconsistencies and intelligence gaps

IRVINE, Calif., June 18, 2026 - Veritone, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERI), a leader in building enterprise AI and data solutions, today announced the launch of Veritone Assess, an AI-powered data analysis solution. Built with law enforcement, military, and compliance professionals in mind, Assess condenses time spent on manual data reviews, helping support compliance, empowering investigations and ultimately transforming unstructured data into actionable insights. While a standalone application today, this new technology is planned for future integration into Veritone Investigate.

With data overload becoming a critical bottleneck for government agencies, Assess provides a valuable new capability. The solution automatically compares reports, evidentiary items - such as witness statements and bank records - against complex rule sets, policies, and regulations and rapidly identifies inconsistencies, deviations or missing information. By quickly detecting these discrepancies, Veritone Assess helps significantly reduce the time typically spent on manual review, drastically accelerating investigations, audits, and case clearance rates.

"From data overload to actionable insight, Veritone Assess equips public sector professionals with the tools they need to optimize resources and close cases faster," said Ryan Steelberg, CEO of Veritone. "By accelerating the analysis and comparison of data sets against department manuals, penal codes, and federal regulations, we are enabling agencies to mitigate operational and legal risks while significantly speeding up the workflow so investigators can focus on what matters most - public safety."

Take Veritone's work with the Cold Case Foundation, for example, a volunteer organization partnering with law enforcement agencies around the world to resolve cold cases. This collaboration leverages Veritone Assess as a key technology, empowering investigators to process decades of unstructured case files, disparate evidence, and complex historical data in a matter of minutes compared to doing it manually, which would take months. By utilizing the advanced data analysis capabilities of Assess, the Cold Case Foundation can identify previously overlooked connections, resolve missing information, generate actionable leads, and advance cases.

Key Features of Veritone Assess:

• Automated deviation analysis: Quickly identifies inconsistencies, policy deviations, and missing information across massive datasets.

• Event timeline generation: Automatically transforms unstructured narrative data from reports into structured, interactive chronological timelines, such as Gantt charts, for immediate case clarity.

• Flexible rule sets: Supports comparison against various policy types, including state law, federal law, police department manuals, corporate codes of conduct and international statutes

• Intelligence summary: Distills complex case data into easy-to-read summaries while highlighting critical evidence gaps.

• Custom chatbot: Includes a built-in AI chat featuring customizable user personas (e.g., "Homicide Detective") to interrogate evidence, ask follow-up questions, and provide tailored, context-specific investigative direction.

• Secure, Controlled AI Environment: Built on a private, contained architecture designed to support data security, privacy, and compliance for sensitive public sector investigations and evidence management.

As public sector agencies face increasing pressure to do more with less, Assess empowers them to transform vast amounts of complex data into a strategic advantage. By helping automate the most time-consuming aspects of evidence review and compliance checking, Veritone is enabling operational efficiency, transparency, and accountability in government investigations and audits.
