For a fifth time, Veritone, Inc., a leader in designing human-centered AI solutions, won NAB Product of the Year for the company’s recently launched Ask Veri. The new conversational intelligence solution that empowers Veritone Digital Media Hub (“DMH”) users to quickly extract actionable insights and execute dynamic workflows from their media archive data through a generative AI-enabled, chat-based tool, secured the 2024 NAB Product of the Year award in the Capitalize AI and Machine Learning (AI/ML) category. This is the fourth time Veritone received top billing in the AI/ML category. Last year, Veritone’s Generative AI platform won the category, while Veritone Avatar secured the award in 2022, and Veritone Voice in 2021. Veritone Attribute was recognized as best new radio technology in 2019.
This official awards program recognizes some of the most significant and promising new products and technologies showcased by exhibitors at NAB Show. NAB Show Product of the Year Award Winners were selected by a panel of industry experts in 15 categories and announced in a live awards ceremony at NAB Show on April 16. To be eligible for an award, nominated products had to come from companies exhibiting at the 2024 NAB Show and be delivered within the 2024 calendar year.

An enhancement for DMH, Veritone’s award-winning media asset management and monetization tool, Ask Veri leverages generative AI to swiftly respond to queries and can provide customers with in-depth analysis, insightful summaries, and key findings for their digital media collection. With Ask Veri, customers can formulate their own questions, such as “What is the trend of monthly user activity, or “Source all available footage of Caitlin Clark during the NCAA tournament,” or use the interface’s intuitive, suggested queries to remove guesswork and provide a starting point for gathering the right content insights. Ask Veri streamlines the overall content experience for DMH customers – including TV networks, studios, production companies, and film and studio archivists – by eliminating the need for multiple data analyst resources or reporting tools. As a result, customers can quickly make informed decisions to highlight high-performing content, optimize engagement, and drive value from existing media assets. Ask Veri will be commercially available in the second half of 2024, with deployment plans for the entire Veritone product suite including commercial and public sector applications.
