Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Business C3.ai, Inc. (including its subsidiaries, “C3 AI” or “the Company”) is an enterprise artificial intelligence (“AI”) software provider. The Company’s C3 AI Platform supports accelerating digital transformation in various industries with prebuilt and configurable C3 AI Applications for business use cases including predictive maintenance, fraud detection, sensor network health, supply network optimization, energy management, anti-money laundering, and customer engagement. The Company supports customers in the United States, Europe, and the rest of the world. The Company was initially formed as a limited liability company in Delaware on January 8, 2009 and converted to a Delaware corporation in June 2012. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The Company prepares its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on June 22, 2023. In management’s opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of October 31, 2023 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended October 31, 2023. The results of operations for the three and six months ended October 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future interim or annual period. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results and outcomes could differ significantly from the Company’s estimates, judgments, and assumptions. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, determining standalone selling price for performance obligations in contracts with customers and estimating variable consideration, the estimated expected benefit period for deferred contract acquisition costs, the useful lives of long-lived assets, the incremental borrowing rate for operating leases, other assumptions used to measure stock-based compensation, and the valuation of deferred income tax assets and uncertain tax positions. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

No other country comprised 10% or greater of the Company’s revenue for the three and six months ended October 31, 2023 or 2022. Deferred Revenue As of October 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023, the Company's deferred revenue balances were $40.6 million and $47.9 million, respectively. Revenue of $40.7 million and $39.5 million was recognized during the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balances as of April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Remaining Performance Obligation Remaining performance obligations are committed and represent non-cancellable contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized and will be recognized as revenue in future periods. Some contracts allow customers to cancel the contracts without a significant penalty, and the cancellable amount of contract value is not included in the remaining performance obligations. The Company excludes amounts related to performance obligations and usage-based royalties that are billed and recognized as they are delivered or billed and recognized in the same period. This primarily consists of monthly usage-based runtime and hosting charges in the duration of some revenue contracts. Revenue expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations was approximately $303.6 million as of October 31, 2023, of which $170.2 million is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter. Customer Concentration and Accounts Receivable A majority of the Company’s Customer-Entities consist of corporate and governmental entities. A Customer-Entity is defined as each entity that is the ultimate parent of a party contracting with the Company. A limited number of Customer-Entities have accounted for a large part of the Company’s revenue and accounts receivable to date. For the purpose of determining customer concentration and accounts receivable, unbilled receivables have been excluded from the accounts receivable balance. Two separate Customer-Entities accounted for 25% and 13%, respectively, of revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2023. One Customer-Entity accounted for 32% of revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2022. Two separate Customer-Entities accounted for 29% and 13%, respectively, of revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2023. One Customer-Entity accounted for 29% of revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2022. Two separate Customer-Entities accounted for 15% and 11%, respectively, of accounts receivable at October 31, 2023. Two separate Customer-Entities accounted for 20% and 18%, respectively, of accounts receivable at April 30, 2023. Accounts receivable includes billed and unbilled receivables, net of allowance of doubtful accounts. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of accounts receivable by considering various factors, including the age of each outstanding invoice, customer type, the collection history of each customer, historical write-off experience, current and near-term macroeconomic conditions and uncertainties. The expectation of collectability is based on a review of credit profiles of customers, contractual terms and conditions, current economic trends, and historical payment experience. Accounts receivable included unbilled receivables as of October 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023 of $104.8 million and $77.6 million, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Non-cancellable Purchase Commitments The Company entered into a non-cancellable arrangement with a cloud services provider in July 2022. Under the arrangement, the Company committed to spend an aggregate of at least $100.0 million for a period of three years beginning July 2022, on services with this vendor. The Company has incurred costs totaling $8.6 million and $1.3 million during the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $15.8 million and $1.6 million during the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, under the arrangement. The Company entered into a non-cancellable arrangement with a professional services provider in October 2023. Under the arrangement, the Company committed to purchase an aggregate of $15.0 million of professional services for a period of 18 months beginning October 2023. The Company has not incurred any costs for during the three months ended October 31, 2023 under the arrangement. C3.ai Digital Transformation Institute Grants In February 2020, the Company entered into an agreement establishing the C3.ai Digital Transformation Institute (“C3.ai DTI”), a program established to attract many of the world’s leading research institutions to join in a coordinated and innovative effort to advance the digital transformation of business, government, and society. As part of the agreement, the Company has agreed to issue grants to C3.ai DTI, which are subject to compliance with certain obligations. The grants shall be paid by the Company over five years in the form of cash, publicly traded securities, or other property of equivalent net value. As of October 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023, the total potential remaining contributions are $31.6 million and $31.6 million, respectively. The future grant payments are conditional in nature and subject to execution of the program in line with specific requirements. Leases On August 25, 2021, the Company entered into a new lease to acquire approximately 283,015 square feet of office space in several phases in Redwood City, California. The lease commencement date of the first two phases was determined to have occurred in the quarter ended January 31, 2022, when the landlord delivered the leased space to the Company. The lease commencement date of the third phase was determined to have occurred in the quarter ended October 31, 2022, when the landlord delivered the leased space to the Company. During the quarter ended July 31, 2023, there was a remeasurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to the third phase of the lease due to changes in the timing of receipt of lease incentives. As a result, the lease liability was reduced to $2.0 million and corresponding right-of-use asset was reduced to $1.7 million. The lease commencement date of the fourth phase was determined to have occurred in the quarter ended April 30, 2023, when the landlord delivered the leased space to the Company. The lease commencement date of the fifth phase was determined to have occurred in the quarter ended July 31, 2023, when the landlord delivered the leased space to the Company. The Company recorded $1.6 million of lease liability in other long-term liabilities and corresponding right-of-use asset in other assets, non-current in the condensed consolidated balance sheets related to the fifth phase of the lease. The lease commencement date of future phases will be determined when the landlord delivers the applicable leased space to the Company. Legal Proceedings Securities Litigation On March 4, 2022, a putative securities class action complaint (captioned The Reckstin Family Trust v. C3.ai, Inc. et al. , 22-cv-01413-HSG) was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, and certain current and former officers and directors. On December 12, 2022, the court appointed a lead plaintiff and lead counsel. On February 15, 2023, the lead plaintiff and three additional named plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint names as defendants the Company, four current and former officers and directors, the underwriters in the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), and Baker Hughes Company (“Baker Hughes”). The amended complaint generally alleges that the defendants made material misstatements or omissions about the Company’s partnership with Baker Hughes and the Company’s own salesforce. The amended complaint alleges that defendants made these misstatements or omissions in connection with the Company’s IPO in violation of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and between December 9, 2020 and December 2, 2021, inclusive, in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The amended complaint further alleges that certain defendants engaged in insider trading in violation of Section 20A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, interest, fees and costs. All defendants have now moved to dismiss Plaintiffs’ amended complaint on May 1, 2023. On June 30, 2023, Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the underwriter defendants. The remaining motions to dismiss are scheduled to be heard on January 11, 2024. Three putative shareholder derivative actions have been filed: (1) Suri v. Siebel et al. (22-cv-03031) filed on May 23, 2022 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California; (2) Rabasca v. Siebel et al. (23-cv-1566) filed on April 3, 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California; and (3) Vo v. Siebel et al. (23-cv-428) filed on April 19, 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. In these cases, the plaintiffs assert claims on the Company’s behalf against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, gross mismanagement, corporate waste, abuse of control, unjust enrichment, and violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegations similar to those in the securities class action. In all three cases, the Company is named as a nominal defendant. The derivative complaints seek unspecified damages, disgorgement of profits from board member stock sales, an award of costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and corporate governance reforms. On September 7, 2022, Suri was stayed pending resolution of the Reckstin case. On August 3, 2023, Vo was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (3:23-cv-03895), and on August 30, 2023 the Vo action was stayed on the same terms as the Suri action. On December 4, 2023, the parties in Rabasca filed a stipulation to consolidate the Rabasca action with the Suri action, and to stay the Rabasca action on the same terms as the Suri action. The Company has not yet been required to answer the Complaints in Suri , Rabasca , and Vo . As of the date of this report, the Company does not believe it is probable that these cases will result in an unfavorable outcome; however, if an unfavorable outcome were to occur in these cases, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company's results of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable. A reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time. In addition, from time to time, the Company is involved in various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Apart from the foregoing, the Company is not presently a party to any other such litigation the outcome of which, the Company believes, if determined adversely to the Company, would individually, or taken together, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, cash flows, or financial condition.

Equity [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity	Stockholders’ Equity Preferred Stock The Company has authorized 200,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by the board of directors. As of October 31, 2023, there were no shares of Preferred Stock issued or outstanding. Common Stock The Company has authorized 1,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 3,500,000 shares of Class B common stock. The shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting, conversion, and transfer rights. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to 50 votes. Class A and Class B common stock have a par value of $0.001 per share and are referred to as common stock throughout the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive any dividends as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors. Shares of Class B common stock may be converted to Class A common stock at any time at the option of the stockholder. Each share of Class B common stock will be automatically converted into one share of Class A common stock upon the earliest of the following: (i) the date that is six months following the death or incapacity of Mr. Siebel; (ii) the date that is six months following the date that Mr. Siebel is no longer providing services to the Company as an officer, employee, director, or consultant; (iii) December 11, 2040, which is the twentieth anniversary of the completion of the IPO; or (iv) the date specified by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Class B common stock, voting as a separate class. Future transfers by holders of Class B common stock will generally result in those shares converting to Class A common stock. Common Stock Subject to Repurchase Under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Incentive Plan”) and the Company’s Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Incentive Plan”), certain optionholders are allowed to exercise stock options to purchase Class A common stock prior to vesting. The Company has the right to repurchase at the original purchase price any unvested but outstanding shares of common stock upon termination of service of the optionholder. The consideration received for an early exercise of a stock option is considered to be a deposit of the exercise price and the related amount is recorded as a liability. There have been no net proceeds from the early exercise of such options during the three and six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022. The liability is reclassified into equity on a ratable basis as the stock options vest. Unvested Class A common stock of 86,670 and 148,239 shares as of October 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023, respectively, were subject to such repurchase right and are legally issued and outstanding as of each period presented. See Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation for more information. Stock Repurchase Program In December 2021, the Company's board of directors approved a stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock for the 18 months following the date of such approval. Under the program, the Company may purchase stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws. The timing and actual amount of the stock repurchases will depend on several factors including price, capital availability, regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities and other market conditions. In March 2022, the Company repurchased and immediately retired 0.7 million shares of its Class A common stock for an aggregate amount of $15.0 million. The Company had not repurchased any shares of its Class A common stock under this program during the fiscal year 2024. The stock repurchase program expired in June 2023.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation On November 27, 2020, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the 2020 Incentive Plan, which became effective in connection with the IPO. The 2020 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards, performance awards and other equity awards. On August 15, 2023 and August 21, 2023, respectively, the Company’s compensation committee and our board of directors adopted, and on October 4, 2023, its stockholders approved, the amendment of the 2020 Incentive Plan to increase the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock that may be automatically added to the share reserve of the 2020 Incentive Plan on May 1 of each year from May 1, 2024 until (and including) May 1, 2030 pursuant to the “evergreen” provision of the 2020 Incentive Plan from five percent (5%) to seven percent (7%) of the total number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding on April 30 of the immediately preceding fiscal year. Prior to the adoption and approval of such amendment, there was an automatic annual increase on May 1, 2023 in the number of shares reserved for future issuance pursuant to the 2020 Incentive Plan in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding as of April 30, 2023. Stock Options Stock options generally expire 10 years from the date of grant, or earlier if services are terminated. Generally, each stock option for common stock is subject to a vesting schedule such that one fifth of the award vests after the first-year anniversary and one-sixtieth of the award vests each month thereafter over the remaining four years, subject to continuous service. A summary of the Company’s option activity during the six months ended October 31, 2023 is as follows: Options Outstanding Number of Weighted Weighted Aggregate (in thousands) (in thousands) Balance as of April 30, 2023 34,696 $ 12.75 6.45 $ 175,907 Options granted 166 24.11 Options exercised (2,251) 35.24 Options cancelled (696) 11.47 Balance as of October 31, 2023 31,915 $ 13.42 6.09 $ 350,422 Vested and exercisable as of October 31, 2023 22,379 $ 10.01 5.65 $ 322,040 Vested and expected to vest as of October 31, 2023 (1) 32,001 $ 13.42 6.09 $ 351,373 __________________ (1) The number of options vested and expected to vest as of October 31, 2023 includes early exercised, unvested Class A common stock. Refer to Note 7. Stockholders’ Equity for more information. As of October 31, 2023, there was $90.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options which is expected to be recognized over an estimated weighted-average period of 2.5 years. The grant-date fair value of the options issued for the six months ended October 31, 2023 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The weighted average assumptions underlying the fair value estimation are provided in the following table: Six Months Ended October 31, 2023 2022 Valuation assumptions: Expected dividend yield — % — % Expected volatility 62.3 % 46.4 % Expected term (years) 6.5 6.5 Risk-free interest rate 4.7 % 3.8 % Restricted Stock Units The Company’s RSUs include time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs with market conditions (“PRSUs”). Time-based RSUs The time-based RSUs are typically subject to service-based vesting conditions satisfied over five years with one-fifth of the award vesting after the first-year anniversary and one-twentieth of the award vesting quarterly thereafter. The related stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. PRSUs In July 2022, the compensation committee of the board of directors (the “Compensation Committee”) approved the grant of a maximum 1,700,000 performance-based restricted stock units (the “PRSU Award”) to the CEO pursuant to the 2020 Incentive Plan, subject to and conditioned upon the subsequent determination by the board of directors of performance metrics upon the achievement of which the PRSU Award would vest. In August 2022, the board of directors approved performance metrics in concept, subject to further action by the Compensation Committee. In December 2022, the Compensation Committee: (a) determined and approved the performance metrics, which are based on the achievement of certain total shareholder return results, as measured against certain stock price hurdles (the “Market Condition”); and (b) extended the vesting period of the PRSU Award through December 31, 2027. As an additional condition to vesting of each tranche of the PRSU Award, Mr. Siebel must remain in continuous service to the Company through a minimum service date that applies to such tranche or, if later, the date the applicable performance metric is achieved (the “Service Condition”). The grant date of the PRSU Award was established in December 2022. Stock-based compensation expense associated with the PRSU Award will be recognized over the longer of the expected achievement period for the Market Condition or the Service Condition. For the six months ended October 31, 2023, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $2.7 million related to the PRSU Award. The Company determined the grant date fair value of the PRSU Award using a Monte Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions: stock price of $12.90, risk-free interest rate of 3.7%, dividend yield of 0% and expected volatility of 51.4%. A summary of the Company’s RSU activity during the six months ended October 31, 2023 is as follows: RSUs Outstanding Number of RSUs Weighted Average (in thousands) Unvested Balance as of April 30, 2023 21,146 $ 21.32 RSUs granted 6,017 35.15 RSUs vested (3,285) 25.92 RSUs forfeited (1,418) 23.74 Unvested Balance as of October 31, 2023 22,460 $ 24.59 As of October 31, 2023, there was $508.9 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding RSUs granted to employees that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.1 years. In June 2023 and 2022, the Compensation Committee approved the payment of fiscal year 2023 and 2022 bonuses, respectively, under the Company’s annual bonus program in the form of fully vested RSUs covering shares of Class A common stock to employees. The Company issued 532,842 and 811,790 shares of Class A common stock pursuant to this program in the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Shares issued in settlement of fully vested RSUs granted under this bonus program were issued from the 2020 Incentive Plan and reduced the shares available for issuance under the 2020 Incentive Plan. Employee Stock Purchase Plan On November 27, 2020, the Company’s board of directors also adopted, and its stockholders also approved, the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2020 ESPP”), which became effective immediately prior to the IPO. The 2020 ESPP authorizes the issuance of shares of Class A common stock pursuant to purchase rights granted to employees. A total of 3,000,000 shares of Class A common stock were initially reserved for future issuance under the 2020 ESPP. The number of shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the 2020 ESPP is subject to automatic evergreen increases annually through (and including) May 1, 2030 pursuant to the terms of the 2020 ESPP. There was an automatic annual increase on May 1, 2023 in the number of shares reserved for future issuance pursuant to the 2020 ESPP in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding on April 30, 2023. The 2020 ESPP permits participants to purchase shares of Class A common stock in an amount not exceeding 15% of their earnings during the relevant offering period. The offering dates and purchase dates for the 2020 ESPP are determined at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors. Except for the initial offering period under the 2020 ESPP, which commenced on October 16, 2022 and ends on September 15, 2024, the 2020 ESPP provides for 24-month offering periods beginning September 15 and March 15 of each year, with each offering period consisting of four six-month purchase periods. The 2020 ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, subject to purchase limits of 2,500 shares during each six-month period or $25,000 worth of stock for each calendar year, through payroll deductions at price per share equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the Company’s Class A common stock on (i) the first trading day of the applicable offering period and (ii) the last trading day of each purchase period in the applicable offering period. If the price per share of the Company’s Class A common stock on any purchase date in the offering period is lower than the price per share of the Company’s Class A common stock price on the enrollment date of that offering period, the offering period will immediately reset after the purchase of shares on such purchase date and automatically roll into a new 24-month offering period. The Company uses a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to determine the fair value of employee stock purchase rights granted under the 2020 ESPP. The following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of shares to be granted under the 2020 ESPP during the period: Six Months Ended October 31, 2023 2022 Valuation assumptions: Expected dividend yield — % — % Expected volatility 64.0 - 70.1% 47.8 - 61.4% Expected term (years) 0.5 - 2.0 0.4 - 1.9 Risk-free interest rate 5.0 - 5.5% 4.3 - 4.5% During the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $3.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to 2020 ESPP. As of October 31, 2023, there was $5.0 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over the remaining term of the respective offering periods.

During the six months ended October 31, 2023, the Company recognized $15.1 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with these programs. As of October 31, 2023, $25.6 million was reflected under accrued compensation and employee benefits in the consolidated balance sheets. Upon settlement, this amount will be reflected under additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Accounting for income taxes for interim periods generally requires the provision for income taxes to be determined by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to income or loss before income taxes, adjusted for discrete items, if any, for the reporting period. The Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate each quarter and makes a cumulative adjustment in such period. The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Income tax expense consists primarily of income taxes in foreign jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business. Due to the Company’s history of losses in the United States, a full valuation allowance on substantially all of the Company’s deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, research and development tax credits, and other book versus tax differences, was maintained.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	Related Party Transactions Revenue Transactions with Baker Hughes Company In June 2019, the Company entered into multiple agreements with Baker Hughes under which Baker Hughes received a three-year subscription to use the Company’s software. This arrangement was revised in June 2020 to extend the term to five years and modify the subscription fees due. Under the agreements as revised in June 2020, Baker Hughes made minimum, non-cancellable revenue commitments, inclusive of their direct subscription fees and third-party revenue generated through a joint marketing arrangement with Baker Hughes in the amount of $46.7 million in fiscal year 2020, $53.3 million in fiscal year 2021, $75.0 million in fiscal year 2022, $125.0 million in fiscal year 2023, and $150.0 million in fiscal year 2024. The Company also agreed to pay Baker Hughes a sales commission on subscriptions and services offerings it resold in excess of the minimum revenue commitments. The Company and Baker Hughes again revised this arrangement in October 2021 to extend the term by an additional year, for a total of six years, with an expiration date in the fiscal year ending April 30, 2025, to modify the amount of Baker Hughes’ annual commitments to $85.0 million in fiscal year 2023, $110.0 million in fiscal year 2024, and $125.0 million in fiscal year 2025, and to revise the structure of the arrangement to simplify the sales process for Baker Hughes. Beginning in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023, Baker Hughes’ annual commitments were reduced by any revenue the Company generates from certain customers. Known and estimable revenue from certain customers related to the arrangement is a form of variable consideration, which was determined at contract inception and reduced the revenue recognized from the arrangement. The Company acknowledged that Baker Hughes had met its minimum annual revenue commitment for the fiscal year 2022 and recognized $16.0 million of sales commission as deferred costs during the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2021 related to this arrangement, which will be amortized over an expected period of five years. The Company and Baker Hughes again revised and expanded the agreements in January 2023. Pursuant to this revised arrangement, the frequency of payments due from Baker Hughes to the Company was accelerated, Baker Hughes obtained expanded reseller rights, and the Company agreed to provide additional products and services. This results in an increase of the overall transaction price of the arrangement by eliminating potential variable consideration attributable to any revenue the Company generated from certain customers. The amount of consideration to the Company may increase if Baker Hughes exceeds certain thresholds. The Company also provided Baker Hughes the option to extend the subscription term upon payment of a renewal fee. Pursuant to the January 2023 revised agreement, the transaction price of Baker Hughes arrangement is not impacted by revenue the Company recognizes from certain customers in oil and gas field. Baker Hughes ceased to qualify as a related party of the Company as of June 30, 2023 and the amounts disclosed related to them are accordingly presented only for the periods in which they were considered a related party. The Company recognized subscription revenue from direct subscription fees from Baker Hughes of $10.6 million and $35.6 million during the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $19.2 million during the three months ended October 31, 2022. The Company recognized professional services revenue from Baker Hughes of $5.8 million and $0.2 million during the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and less than $0.1 million during the three months ended October 31, 2022. The Company recognized sales and marketing expenses related to Baker Hughes of $0.8 million and $7.0 million (inclusive of amortization of $0.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of deferred commissions) during the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recognized sales and marketing expenses related to Baker Hughes of $3.5 million (inclusive of amortization of $1.2 million of deferred commissions) during the three months ended October 31, 2022. The Company paid sales commission of nil and $16.0 million during the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to this arrangement. Sublease Arrangement On February 21, 2023, the Company entered into a sublease agreement (the “Sublease”) with First Virtual Group, Inc. (the “Subtenant”), whereby the Company agreed to sublease to the Subtenant approximately 3,130 square feet of space located in Redwood City, California (the “Subleased Space”). The Company previously entered into a lease (the “Original Lease”) with DWF IV 1400-1500 Seaport Blvd, LLC dated August 25, 2021 for approximately 283,013 square feet of office space split between two office towers, including the Subleased Space. Thomas M. Siebel, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company, serves as Chairman of the Subtenant. The term of the Sublease commenced on February 1, 2023. The Sublease was automatically renewed on October 1, 2023 and will be automatically renewed for successive one year periods thereafter unless the Subtenant notifies the Company of its election to terminate the Sublease, up to the expiration date of the Original Lease. The monthly base rent for the Sublease is equal to the rate per square foot paid by the Company as stated in the Original Lease. The monthly base rent the Subtenant pays is approximately $8,608 through September 30, 2023, increasing annually thereafter. In addition to base rent, the Subtenant will be responsible for its allocated share of costs incurred and expenditures made by the Company in the operation and management of the Subleased Space.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The Company prepares its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on June 22, 2023. In management’s opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of October 31, 2023 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended October 31, 2023. The results of operations for the three and six months ended October 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future interim or annual period.
Principles of Consolidation	The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results and outcomes could differ significantly from the Company’s estimates, judgments, and assumptions. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, determining standalone selling price for performance obligations in contracts with customers and estimating variable consideration, the estimated expected benefit period for deferred contract acquisition costs, the useful lives of long-lived assets, the incremental borrowing rate for operating leases, other assumptions used to measure stock-based compensation, and the valuation of deferred income tax assets and uncertain tax positions. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could materially differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year ends on April 30.
