ORGANIZATION	ORGANIZATION Nature of Operations SoundHound AI, Inc. (“we," "us," "our," "SoundHound” or the “Company”) turns sound into understanding and actionable meaning. SoundHound’s technology applications enable humans to interact with the things around them in the same way they interact with each other: by speaking naturally to mobile phones, cars, televisions, music speakers, coffee machines, and every other part of the emerging “connected” world. SoundHound's voice AI platform enables product creators to develop their own voice interfaces with their customers. The SoundHound Chat AI voice assistant allows businesses and brands to provide a next-generation voice experience for their users, seamlessly integrating Generative AI and a mix of real-time information domains. Houndify is an open-access platform that allows developers to leverage SoundHound’s Voice AI technology. The Company has developed a range of proprietary technologies on our voice AI platform, including Speech-to-Meaning, Deep Meaning Understanding, Collective AI, Dynamic Interaction and SoundHound Chat AI. The SoundHound music app allows customers to identify and play songs by singing or humming into the smartphone’s microphone, or by identifying the sound playing in the background from external sources. SoundHound also provides edge, cloud and hybrid (Edge+Cloud) connectivity solutions that allow brands to optimize their voice-enabled products and devices with options ranging from fully-embedded to exclusively cloud-connected.

The Company has historically funded its operations primarily through equity or debt financings. Total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand as of September 30, 2024 was $135.6 million. Although the Company has incurred recurring losses each year since its inception, the Company expects it will be able to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company may seek funding through additional debt or equity financing arrangements to continue financing its operations. Refer to Note 18 for information regarding the Company's equity financing activity subsequent to September 30, 2024. The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, which has been derived from audited financial statements as filed in the Company’s Form 10-K, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 1, 2024 and (b) the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Any reference in these notes to applicable accounting guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP included in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of September 30, 2024, and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 or any future interim period. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. Significant Accounting Policies With the exception of the significant accounting policies related to the SYNQ3 Acquisition and Amelia Acquisition (each as defined in Note 3) which are disclosed below, there have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Reclassification Certain accounts in the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements were reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. The reclassification had an immaterial impact on our consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the prior year period. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, accrued liabilities, derivative and warrant liabilities, calculation of the incremental borrowing rate, financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the accounting for business combinations and allocating purchase price, valuation and estimating the useful life of identifiable intangible assets, probability of achievement of revenue estimates related to contingent earnout consideration and performance-based equity awards, valuation of deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions and the fair value of common stock and other assumptions used to measure stock-based compensation expense. In connection with the measurement period for the acquisition of SYNQ3, management revised certain significant estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which include, but are not limited to, the recognition and measurement of assumed contingent liabilities and deferred and contingent holdback consideration. There was no measurement period adjustment for the previous acquisitions during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, the current economic environment, and on assumptions it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The Company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Changes in those estimates resulting from changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Segment Information The Company has determined that the Chief Executive Officer is its chief operating decision maker. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer reviews discrete financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it operates as a single reportable segment. Concentrations of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, the balances of which frequently exceed federally insured limits. The Company regularly monitors its credit risk exposure and takes steps to mitigate the likelihood of these exposures resulting in actual loss. As of September 30, 2024, there was no customer that exceeded 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2023, accounts receivable balances due from Customer A, C, and D accounted for 40%, 32% and 15% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, unbilled receivables from Customer A, C and E accounted for 35%, 35% and 11% of the Company’s unbilled receivables balance, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, unbilled receivables from Customer A, B and C accounted for 59%, 16% and 11% of the Company’s unbilled receivables balance, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, Customer A accounted for 12% of the revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Customer A and C accounted for 19% and 16% of the revenue, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, Customer A accounted for 72% of revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Customer A and D accounted for 46% and 20% of revenue, respectively. Business Combinations and Contingent Consideration Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The Company allocates the fair value of the purchase price of an acquisition to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair values of these net tangible and intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but the estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. The estimates and assumptions used in valuing intangible assets include, but are not limited to, the amount and timing of projected future cash flows, discount rate used to determine the present value of these cash flows and asset lives. These estimates are inherently uncertain and, therefore, actual results may differ from the estimates made. As a result, during the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may make adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the measurement period's conclusion or final determination of the fair value of the purchase price of an acquisition, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period they are identified. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and expensed as incurred. Certain business combinations include contingent consideration arrangements, which are generally based on achievement of future financial performance or future events. If it is determined the contingent consideration arrangement is not compensatory, the Company estimates fair value of contingent consideration payments as part of the initial purchase price and records the estimated fair value of contingent consideration as a liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company reviews and assesses the estimated fair value of contingent consideration each reporting period, and the updated fair value could differ materially from the initial estimates. Adjustments to estimated fair value related to changes in fair value are reported as change in fair value of contingent acquisition liabilities in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but tested annually for impairment or when indicators of impairment are present. The test for goodwill impairment involves a qualitative assessment of impairment indicators. If indicators are present, a quantitative test of impairment is performed. Goodwill impairment, if any, is determined by comparing the reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value. An impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value, up to the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company's policy is to review goodwill for impairment annually on October 1st unless a triggering event requires an analysis sooner. There was no goodwill impairment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Intangible Assets with Definite Lives The Company's intangible assets consist principally of developed technology, customer relationships, tradename, and conversation data. The Company assesses the appropriate method of amortization of the intangible assets that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed. The Company determined that a straight-line method of amortization was appropriate for its intangible assets. The remaining useful lives of long-lived assets are re-assessed periodically at the asset group level for any events and circumstances that may change the future cash flows expected to be generated from the long-lived asset or asset group. Intangible assets with definite lives are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of a specific asset or asset group may not be recoverable. We assess the recoverability of intangible assets with definite lives at the asset group level. Asset groups are determined based upon the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. For the purpose of the recoverability test, we compare the total undiscounted future cash flows from the use and disposition of the assets with its net carrying amount. When the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, the asset group is deemed to be impaired. The amount of the impairment loss represents the excess of the asset or asset group’s carrying value over its estimated fair value, which is generally determined based upon the present value of estimated future pre-tax cash flows that a market participant would expect from use and disposition of the long-lived asset or asset group. There were no intangible asset impairments in any of the periods presented. Recent Accounting Pronouncements — Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which expands disclosures about a public business entity's reportable segments and provides for more detailed information about a reportable segment's expenses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. Preliminarily, the Company will have increased disclosure requirements for its single reportable segment related to its significant segment expenses as well as additional information on its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and its use of reported measures. The Company will continue to evaluate this ASU to determine its impact on disclosures. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, which requires more detailed income tax disclosures. The guidance requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply them retrospectively. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on the financial statement disclosures.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS	9 Months Ended

Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract]
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS	BUSINESS COMBINATIONS SYNQ3 Acquisition On January 3, 2024 (the "SYNQ3 Acquisition Date"), the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity of SYNQ3, a provider of voice AI and other technology solutions to the restaurant industry, for total preliminary purchase consideration of $15.7 million (the “SYNQ3 Acquisition”). The Company’s acquisition of SYNQ3 is expected to expand its AI customer service solutions and create a Voice AI provider for restaurants. The acquisition is expected to significantly extend the Company's market reach and accelerate the deployment of generative AI capabilities to the industry. The total preliminary purchase consideration includes $3.9 million in cash paid and 5,755,910 in shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The Company has also withheld purchase consideration of $0.5 million in cash and 1,179,514 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, subject to customary net working capital adjustments, to partially secure the indemnification obligations of SYNQ3's former stockholders under the merger agreement and agreed to pay up to $0.8 million in cash and 1,434,936 in shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock to certain former stockholders of SYNQ3 based upon the achievement of specified future milestones. On the SYNQ3 Acquisition Date, the Company also issued 2,033,156 restricted shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock subject to time and performance-based vesting conditions. The fair value of the preliminary purchase consideration was $15.7 million. Holdback The $0.5 million in cash and 1,179,514 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock is being withheld for a period of 15 months (the "Holdback Amount"). The Company determined that there are two components to the Holdback Amount related to deferred consideration and contingent consideration, each comprised of cash and shares. The deferred cash holdback consideration of $0.1 million and the deferred share holdback consideration of 361,145 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock (collectively the "Deferred Consideration") were not recognized as of the SYNQ3 Acquisition Date as such amounts were offset by the indemnification obligations of SYNQ3's former stockholders. The contingent cash and share holdback consideration to be issued is variable ("Contingent Holdback Consideration"). Final amounts to be issued will be reduced based upon future actions and settlements with third parties to resolve assumed contingent sales tax liabilities and certain other assumed contingent liabilities of SYNQ3 in connection with the SYNQ3 Acquisition. The Company accounted for the Contingent Holdback Consideration as a liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of the SYNQ3 Acquisition Date, the Contingent Holdback Consideration was estimated to be $0.4 million in aggregate and to be settled in $0.1 million cash and the remainder in shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 38,277 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and paid an immaterial amount in cash from the Contingent Holdback Consideration to SYNQ3's former stockholders as a result of the net working capital adjustments settled during the quarter. The Contingent Holdback Consideration will be subsequently remeasured at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized as a component of operating expense on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. See Note 17 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included within this report for more information on the fair value measurement of shares associated with the holdback. Contingent SYNQ3 Earnout Consideration The Company also agreed to pay in aggregate up to $0.8 million in cash and 1,434,936 in shares of Class A Common Stock to certain stockholders of SYNQ3 based on tiered annual revenue targets for each fiscal year 2024, 2025 and 2026 (the “Contingent SYNQ3 Earnout Consideration”). The Company accounted for the Contingent SYNQ3 Earnout Consideration as a liability within contingent acquisition liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and will subsequently remeasure the liability at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized as a component of operating expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. As of the SYNQ3 Acquisition Date, the Contingent SYNQ3 Earnout Consideration was estimated to be $1.7 million in aggregate and to be settled in $0.2 million cash and the remainder in shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. See Note 17 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included within this report for more information on the fair value measurement of Contingent SYNQ3 Earnout Consideration. Restricted stock awards The 2,033,156 restricted shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock issued at the SYNQ3 Acquisition Date to certain continuing employees of SYNQ3 subject to time and performance-based vesting conditions was determined to be a separate transaction from the SYNQ3 Acquisition and therefore is excluded from purchase consideration. See Note 13 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included within this report for more information on stock-based awards issued in connection with the SYNQ3 Acquisition. Preliminary purchase price allocation The preliminary purchase price allocation was performed as of January 3, 2024 and allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, as follows (in thousands): Preliminary: Cash paid $ 3,910 Equity consideration 9,687 Contingent earnout consideration 1,676 Contingent holdback consideration 427 Purchase price 15,700 Assets acquired: Cash 221 Accounts receivable 1,500 Prepaid expenses 72 Intangible assets 12,705 Total identified assets acquired 14,498 Liabilities assumed: Accounts payable 440 Accrued liabilities 3,609 Other non-current liabilities 750 Deferred tax liability 38 Total liabilities assumed 4,837 Fair value of identifiable net assets acquired $ 9,661 Goodwill acquired on acquisition $ 6,039 Goodwill recognized includes synergies expected to be achieved from the operations of the combined company and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Expected synergies include both increased revenue opportunities and the cost savings from the planned integration of platform infrastructure, facilities, personnel, and systems. The transaction is considered a non-taxable business combination, and goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments to decrease the deferred revenue by $0.1 million as the revenue recognition criteria had been met at the acquisition date, to increase the accrued liabilities by $1.9 million resulting from a pre-acquisition legal contingency, and to decrease the deferred tax liability assumed by $0.2 million. Refer to Note 7 to these condensed consolidated financial statements for more information on the loss contingencies. These measurement period adjustments resulted in a decrease of $0.1 million in deferred cash consideration, $0.6 million in deferred equity consideration, and $0.6 million in contingent holdback consideration in accordance with the merger agreement. As a result of the adjusted acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company recorded an increase of $0.3 million to the goodwill recognized. The measurement period adjustments were recorded in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and were made to reflect facts and circumstances that existed as of the SYNQ3 Acquisition Date. There was no measurement period adjustment recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2024. Th e preliminary purchase price allocation has not been finalized as of September 30, 2024 primarily due to the final assessment of the f air values of the intangible assets, contingent sales tax liability assumed , and fair value of the contingent earnout consideration . The fair value estimates of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is pending the completion of various items, including obtaining further information regarding the identification and valuation of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, such as the contingent liabilities accrued for a pre-acquisition legal contingency. See Note 7 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included within this report for more information . Any adjustments to the estimates of purchase price allocation will be m ade in the periods in which the adjustments are determined, and the cumulative effect of such adjustments will be calculated as if the adjustments had been completed as of the acquisition date. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation within 12 months from the SYNQ3 Acquisition Date . The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the identifiable intangible assets acquired (in thousands) : Useful life Preliminary fair value Intangible Assets: (in years) January 3, 2024 Developed technology 3.0 $ 5,210 Customer relationships 4.0 4,800 Tradename 2.0 1,410 Conversation data 2.5 1,285 $ 12,705 The Company incurred $1.9 million in acquisition related expenses, of which zero and $0.8 million were incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and recorded as general and administration expenses in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Amelia Acquisition On August 6, 2024 (the “Amelia Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity of Amelia Holdings, Inc. (the “Amelia Acquisition”), a privately-held conversational AI software company involved in the development and delivery of AI and automation solutions and related services to improve customer experience and optimize business outcomes. The Company’s acquisition of Amelia is expected to strengthen SoundHound’s position in voice and conversational AI and allow the Company to enter new industries such as healthcare, insurance, financial services, and retail, expanding its market reach. The total preliminary purchase consideration includes 3,809,520 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock issued to the selling shareholders. The Company also issued and deposited 2,149,530 shares of Class A Common Stock otherwise owed to the selling shareholders into an escrow account in order to partially secure the indemnification obligations of the selling shareholders to the Company under the purchase agreement (the “Escrow Consideration”). The fair value of equity issued as part of the consideration paid was determined on the basis of the closing market price of the Company’s shares on the Amelia Acquisition Date, which also incorporated a discount for lack of marketability rates caused by the trading restrictions due to the fact that the shares were not registered at issuance. for a six-month holding period. The Company also paid $8.4 million of cash for seller transaction expenses in connection with the closing of the Amelia Acquisition. The Company agreed to issue up to 16,822,429 shares to the selling shareholders based on achievement of certain revenue targets in fiscal years 2025 and 2026 (the "Amelia Contingent Earnout Consideration). The fair value of the preliminary purchase consideration was $103.9 million. In connection with the Amelia Acquisition, the Company assumed the amended senior secured term loan facility from Amelia in an aggregate principal amount of $121.5 million (“Amelia Debt”). See Note 9 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included within this report for more information on the Amelia Debt. Escrow Consideration The Company accounted for the Escrow Consideration as equity-classified shares issued as part of the consideration transferred. The Company recorded an indemnification asset of $1.4 million under other non-current assets related to assumed sales tax and litigation contingent liabilities that existed prior to the Amelia Acquisition Date and are covered by the Company’s indemnification rights provided by the sellers. Upon the settlement of any valid indemnification claims against the selling shareholders, the escrow agent will return a number of shares to the Company equal to the dollar value of the indemnified loss divided by the reference price of $5.35 as stipulated in the purchase agreement. The Company concluded that this variability in settlement value is a derivative that is requirement to be remeasured to fair value due to changes in stock price. This derivative did not have a material impact to the financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Upon the expiration of the escrow period, any remaining shares within the escrow account will be released to the selling shareholders. Contingent Amelia Earnout Consideration The Company also agreed to pay up to 16,822,429 in shares of Class A Common Stock to the selling shareholders based on achievement of certain annual revenue targets in fiscal years 2025 and 2026. The Company accounted for the Contingent Amelia Earnout Consideration as a liability within contingent acquisition liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and will subsequently remeasure the liability at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized as a component of operating expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. As of the Amelia Acquisition Date, the Contingent Amelia Earnout Consideration had an estimated fair value of $71.6 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a $0.5 million loss related to the Contingent Amelia Earnout Consideration, reflected in the change in fair value of contingent acquisition liabilities in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. See Note 17 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included within this report for more information on the fair value measurement of Contingent Amelia Earnout Consideration. Preliminary purchase price allocation The preliminary purchase price allocation was performed as of August 6, 2024 and allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, as follows (in thousands): Preliminary: August 6, 2024 Cash paid $ 8,407 Equity consideration 15,291 Equity consideration in escrow 8,628 Contingent earnout consideration 71,560 Purchase price 103,886 Assets acquired: Cash and cash equivalents 1,128 Accounts receivable 8,239 Other current assets 1,822 Contract asset - current 4,090 Property and equipment 348 Right-of-use assets 227 Other assets 1,741 Intangible assets 174,500 Total identified assets acquired 192,095 Liabilities assumed: Accounts payable 14,839 Accrued liabilities 11,420 Income tax liabilities 582 Short-term debt 70,000 Operating lease liability, current 211 Financing lease liability, current 37 Other current liabilities 3,885 Deferred revenue 23,144 Deferred revenue, non-current 4,295 Long-term debt 51,511 Deferred tax liabilities 11,105 Operating lease liability, non-current 16 Other liabilities, non-current 34 Income tax liability, net of current portion 2,821 Total liabilities assumed 193,900 Fair value of identifiable net liabilities assumed $ (1,805) Goodwill acquired on acquisition $ 105,691 Goodwill recognized includes synergies expected to be achieved from the operations of the combined company and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Expected synergies include both increased revenue opportunities and the cost savings from the planned integration of platform infrastructure, facilities, personnel, and systems. The transaction is considered a non-taxable business combination, and goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The preliminary purchase price allocation has not been finalized as of September 30, 2024 primarily due to the final assessment of the fair values of the intangible assets, contingent tax liability assumed, and fair value of the contingent earnout consideration. The fair value estimates of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is pending the completion of various items, including obtaining further information regarding the identification and valuation of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any adjustments to the estimates of purchase price allocation will be made in the periods in which the adjustments are determined, and the cumulative effect of such adjustments will be calculated as if the adjustments had been completed as of the acquisition date. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation within 12 months from the Amelia Acquisition Date. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the identifiable intangible assets acquired (in thousands) : Useful life Preliminary fair value Intangible Assets: (in years) at acquisition Developed technology 7.0 $ 98,900 Customer relationships 7.0 68,600 Trade names 5.0 7,000 $ 174,500 The Company incurred $4.8 million in acquisition related expenses, all of which was incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and recorded as general and administration expenses in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Unaudited pro forma financial information The financial results of SYNQ3 and Amelia are included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. SYNQ3 contributed revenue of $2.8 million and $8.9 million, respectively, and net loss of $1.9 million and $5.2 million, respectively, to the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Am elia contributed revenue of $15.6 million and net loss of $0.4 million to the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

REVENUE RECOGNITION	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2024
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
REVENUE RECOGNITION	REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenues are generally recognized upon the transfer of control of promised products or services provided to customers, reflecting the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive for those products or services. The Company’s arrangements with customers may contain multiple obligations. Individual services are accounted for separately if they are distinct — that is, if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer and if the service is separately identifiable from other items in the contract. The Company derives its revenue primarily from the following performance obligations: (1) hosted services, (2) professional services, (3) monetization, and (4) licensing. Revenues are reported net of applicable sales and use taxes that are passed through to customers. The Company applies significant judgement in identifying and evaluating any terms and conditions in contracts which impact revenue recognition. The Company has the following performance obligations in contracts with customers: Hosted Services Hosted services, along with non-distinct customization, integration, maintenance and support professional services, allow customers to access the Houndify and Amelia Software Platform over the contract period without taking possession of the software. The Company has determined that the hosted services arrangements are a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services, since each day of providing access to hosted services is substantially the same and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as access is provided. These services are provided either on a usage basis (i.e., variable consideration) or on a fixed fee subscription basis. The Company recognizes revenue as each distinct service period is performed. Hosted services may include up-front services to develop and/or customize the applications to each customer’s specification. Judgement is required to determine whether these professional services are distinct from the hosted services. In making this determination, factors such as the degree of integration, the customers’ ability to start using the software prior to customization, and the availability of these services from other independent vendors are considered. In instances where the Company concluded that the up-front services are not distinct performance obligations, revenues for these activities are recognized over the period which the hosted services are provided and is included within hosted services revenue. All revenues derived as a result of the SYNQ3 Acquisition, and substantial revenues derived as a result of the Amelia Acquisition are categorized as hosted services revenue. Professional Services Revenues from distinct professional services, such as non-integrated development services and Managed Services, are either recognized over time based upon the progress towards completion of the project or at a point in time at project completion. The Company assesses distinct professional services to determine whether the transfer of control is over-time or at a point in time. The Company considers three criteria in making their assessment including (1) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits; (2) the Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or (3) the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. If none of the criteria are met, revenues are determined to be recognized at a point in time. For distinct professional services determined to be recognized over-time, measuring the stage of completion of a project requires significant judgement and estimates and is based on either input or output measure. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, $2.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively, of professional service revenue was recognized over time. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, there was immaterial professional service revenue recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation was fulfilled and control of the service was transferred to the customer. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, $0.9 million and $5.9 million, respectively, of professional service revenue was recognized over time. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there was zero and $0.9 million, respectively, of professional service revenue recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation was fulfilled and control of the service was transferred to the customer. Monetization Monetization revenues are primarily derived from advertising payments associated with ad impressions placed on the SoundHound music identification application. The amount of revenue is based on actual monetization generated or usage, which represent a variable consideration with constrained estimates. Therefore, the Company recognizes the related revenues at a point in time when advertisements are placed, when commissions are paid or when the SoundHound application is downloaded. The determination of whether revenue should be reported on a gross or net basis is based on an assessment of whether the Company is acting as a principal or an agent in the transaction. The Company has determined that it does not act as the principal in monetization arrangements because it does not control the transfer of the service and it does not set the price. Based on these factors, the Company reports revenue on a net basis. Licensing The Company licenses voice and Amelia’s software solutions that are embedded in customer’s products or services. Licensing revenues are a distinct performance obligation that is recognized when control is transferred to the customer, which is at a point in time for non-customized solutions. For licenses with non-distinct customized solutions, revenues are recognized over time based on the progress towards completion of the customized solution. Revenues generated from licensing are on royalty arrangements with a per unit pricing or on fixed considerations. The Company records licensing revenue relating to usage-based royalty arrangements in the same period in which the underlying usage occurs. Licensing revenue on fixed considerations including fixed fee and minimum guarantee from royalty arrangements are recognized when the Company grants the customer the right to use and benefit from the license at the start of the licensing period. Licenses may include post-contract support, which is a distinct performance obligation and revenue from post-contract support is recognized ratably over the licensing period. Revenue from post-contract support was not significant for the periods presented. When a contract has multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative estimated standalone selling price (“SSP”). Judgments are required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. SSP is determined by maximizing observable inputs from pricing of standalone sales, when possible. Since prices vary from customer to customer based on customer relationship, volume discount and contract type, in instances where the SSP is not directly observable, the Company estimates SSP by considering the following factors: • Costs of developing and supplying each performance obligation; • Industry standards; • Major product groupings; and • Gross margin objectives and pricing practices, such as contractually stated prices, discounts offered, and applicable price lists. These factors may vary over time, depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable. If the facts and circumstances underlying the factors considered change or should future facts and circumstances lead the Company to consider additional factors, the Company’s best estimate of SSP may also change. When such observable data is not available because there is a limited number of transactions or prices are highly variable, the Company will estimate the standalone selling price using the residual approach. The Company’s long-term contracts generally do not have significant financing components, as there is normally payment and performance in each year of the contract. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not adjust promised amounts of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. If there is a period of one year or longer between the transfer of promised services and payment, it is generally for reasons other than financing, thus, the Company does not adjust the transaction price for financing components. In the limited cases where a significant financing component is present, the Company adjusts the promised consideration for the effects of a significant financing component and to recognize revenue to approximate an amount that reflects the cash selling price that a customer would have paid for the promised goods or services. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, revenue under each performance obligation was as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2024 2023 2024 2023 Hosted services $ 17,546 $ 4,262 $ 34,977 $ 12,753 Professional services 2,851 912 5,747 6,839 Licensing 4,619 7,933 9,125 8,671 Monetization 78 161 301 463 Total $ 25,094 $ 13,268 $ 50,150 $ 28,726 For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the disaggregated revenue by geographic location was as follows* (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2024 2023 2024 2023 United States 13,471 792 21,049 2,282 Korea 3,050 9,550 10,007 14,132 France 852 1,012 8,106 2,589 Germany 33 196 173 5,797 Other 7,688 1,718 10,815 3,926 Total $ 25,094 $ 13,268 $ 50,150 $ 28,726 *Revenue by geographic region is allocated to individual countries based on the billing location of the customer. The end customer location may be different than the customer's billing location. The ‘Other’ category is composed of geographic regions with sales less than 10% of the consolidated revenue. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the disaggregated revenue by recognition pattern was as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2024 2023 2024 2023 Over time revenue $ 20,923 $ 5,175 $ 41,206 $ 18,710 Point-in-time 4,171 8,093 8,944 10,016 Total $ 25,094 $ 13,268 $ 50,150 $ 28,726 The Company also disaggregates revenue by service type. This disaggregation consists of Product Royalties, Service Subscriptions and Monetization. Product Royalties revenues are derived from Houndified Products, which are voice-enabled tangible products across the automotive and consumer electronics industries. Revenues from Product Royalties are based on volume, usage or life of the products, which are driven by number of devices, users or unit of time. Service Subscription revenues are generated through Houndified Services and Amelia services, which include customer services, food ordering, content, appointments and voice commerce, autonomous business workflows, and IT systems analysis. Subscription revenues are derived from monthly fees based on fixed fee, usage-based revenue, revenue per query or revenue per user. Houndified Products, Houndified Services, and Amelia services may include professional services that develop and customize the Houndify platform and Amelia Software Platforms to fit customers’ specific needs, and any post-contract support for on-premise solutions. Revenues from Monetization are generated from the SoundHound music identification app and are primarily attributable to user ad impression revenue. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the disaggregated revenue by service type was as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2024 2023 2024 2023 Product royalties $ 5,987 $ 12,616 $ 23,599 $ 26,972 Service subscriptions 19,029 491 26,250 1,291 Monetization 78 161 301 463 Total $ 25,094 $ 13,268 50,150 $ 28,726 Contract Balances The Company performs its obligations under a contract with a customer by providing access to software, licensing right to use software, or providing services in exchange for consideration from the customer. The timing of the Company’s performance often differs from the timing of the customer’s payment, which results in the recognition of a receivable, a contract asset or deferred revenue. As of January 1, 2023, accounts receivable, net of allowances, was $3.4 million, contract assets were $8.7 million and deferred revenue was $13.4 million. The contract asset and unbilled accounts receivable, net as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consists of the following (in thousands): Balance Sheet Presentation September 30, December 31, Unbilled account receivables - current Contract assets and unbilled receivables, net of allowance for credit losses $ 19,594 $ 5,138 Contract assets - current Contract assets and unbilled receivables, net of allowance for credit losses 5,045 6,642 Unbilled account receivables - non-current Contract assets and unbilled receivables, non-current, net of allowance for credit losses 1,723 — Contract assets - non-current Contract assets and unbilled receivables, non-current, net of allowance for credit losses 12,873 16,492 The change in the Company's contract assets and contract liabilities during the current period was primarily the result of the inclusion of Amelia. The timing differences between the Company's performance, invoicing and customer payments were also a factor. The Company has not recorded any asset impairment charges related to contract assets during the periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenues recognized included in the balances of the deferred revenue at the beginning of the reporting period were $1.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $1.5 million and $6.1 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations related to customer contracts that were unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied was $66.9 million. Given the applicable contract terms, $40.9 million is expected to be recognized as revenue within one year, $24.1 million is expected to be recognized between 2 to 5 years and the remainder of $2.0 million is expected to be recognized after 5 years. This amount does not include contracts to which the customer is not committed, contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue equal to the amount the Company has the right to invoice for services performed or future sales-based or usage-based royalty payments in exchange for access to the Company’s hosted services. This amount is subject to change due to future revaluations of variable consideration, terminations, other contract modifications or currency adjustments. The estimated timing of the recognition of remaining unsatisfied performance obligations is subject to change and is affected by changes to scope, changes in timing of delivery of products and services or contract modifications.

WARRANTS

WARRANTS	9 Months Ended

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
WARRANTS	WARRANTS Term Loan Warrants In connection with the Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 9), the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 3,301,536 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock to the lenders (the “Term Loan Warrants”). The Term Loan Warrants have a per share exercise price of $2.59 and may be exercised, including on a cashless basis, by the holder at any time prior to the 10-year anniversary of the issue date. The Term Loan Warrants will be automatically cashless exercised immediately prior to a change in control of the Company. The Term Loan Warrants are indexed to the Company's stock and were classified as an equity instrument. On the Term Loan Closing Date, this resulted in the Company allocating the gross proceeds and issuance costs between the Term Loan and the Term Loan Warrants based on their relative fair values, resulting in the initial recognition of the Term Loan Warrant at $4.1 million as additional paid-in-capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In March 2024, the Company issued 2,269,982 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock resulting from the cashless exercise in full of the Term Loan Warrants that were outstanding. As of September 30, 2024, all of the Term Loan Warrants had been exercised and no Term Loan Warrants are outstanding. Warrants Related to the ATSP Merger Public Warrants On April 26, 2022 (the "Closing"), pursuant to a merger agreement dated as of November 15, 2021 by and among Archimedes Tech SPAC Partners Co. (“ATSP”), ATSPC Merger Sub, Inc. and SoundHound, Inc. (“Legacy SoundHound”), the parties consummated the merger of ATSPC Merger Sub, Inc. with and into Legacy SoundHound, with Legacy SoundHound continuing as the surviving corporation, as well as the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the merger and such other transactions collectively referred to the “ATSP Merger”). Prior to the ATSP Merger, ATSP issued public warrants ("Public Warrants"). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to the right to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. No fractional shares were issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company may redeem the outstanding warrants, for $0.01 per warrant, upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if the reported last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock dividends, sub-divisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing after the warrants become exercisable and ending on the third trading day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. Upon issuance of a redemption notice by the Company, the warrant holders may, at any time after the redemption notice, exercise the Public Warrants for cash, or on a cashless basis. Subsequent to the closing of the ATSP Merger, the Company’s Public Warrants continue to be classified as equity instruments, as they are indexed to the Company’s stock. Private Warrants Prior to the ATSP Merger, ATSP issued private warrants ("Private Warrants"). The Private Warrants were initially issued in the same form as the Public Warrants with the exception that the Private Warrants: (i) would not be redeemable by the Company and (ii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. The Private Warrants were initially classified as derivative liability instruments as they met the definition of a derivative and were not considered indexed in the Company’s own stock as the settlement value could be dependent on who held the Private Warrants at the time of exercise. Upon the Closing of the ATSP Merger, the Company modified its Private Warrants to be identical to its Public Warrants. Therefore, the Private Warrants met requirements for classification as equity instruments, as they are indexed to the Company’s stock. As of September 30, 2024, there were 3,665,996 Public Warrants and Private Warrants issued and outstanding. There have been no exercises during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
NOTE PAYABLE	NOTE PAYABLE SVB March 2021 Note In March 2021, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with a commercial bank to borrow $30.0 million. The loan bore interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of 9.00% or 5.75% above the Prime Rate. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the interest rate was 13.50%. Payments were interest-only for the first twelve months and are now principal and interest through maturity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $1.1 million in interest expense. Concurrently with the Company's entry into the Credit Agreement (as defined below), the Company used a portion of the proceeds to prepay in full all outstanding obligations under, and terminated, the SVB March 2021 Note. In connection with the SVB March 2021 Note prepayment, the Company paid a total of $18.5 million on April 14, 2023, which consisted of (i) the remaining principal amount outstanding of $18.1 million, (ii) a prepayment premium of $0.3 million, (iii) accrued and unpaid interest of $0.1 million and (iv) a nominal amount for transaction expenses, resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.4 million. SCI June 2021 Note In June 2021, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with a lender to obtain credit extensions to the Company. Extensions were available in $5.0 million increments up to a total commitment amount of $15.0 million. The Company drew an initial $5.0 million on June 14, 2021 and the remaining $10.0 million on December 1, 2021. The loan bore interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of 9.00% or 5.75% above the Prime Rate. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the interest rate was 13.50%. Payments were interest-only for the first twelve months and principal and interest through maturity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $1.0 million in interest expense. Concurrently with the Company’s entry into the Credit Agreement (as defined below), the Company used a portion of the proceeds to prepay in full all outstanding obligations under, and terminated, the SCI June 2021 Note. In connection with the SCI June 2021 Note prepayment on April 14, 2023, the Company paid a total of approximately $11.7 million, which consisted of (i) the remaining principal amount outstanding of approximately $11.5 million, (ii) a prepayment premium of approximately $0.2 million and (iii) a nominal amount for transaction expenses, resulting in loss on debt extinguishment of $0.4 million. Term Loan On April 14, 2023 (the “Term Loan Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million (the “Term Loan”). The Credit Agreement also permits the Company to request additional commitments of up to $25.0 million in the aggregate, with funding of such commitments in the sole discretion of the lenders under certain circumstances, which will be subject to the same terms as the Term Loan if funded. On the Term Loan closing date, the Company also entered into a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay incremental lender fees (the "Lender fees"), beginning on the Term Loan closing date, initially at a rate of 3.5% of the principal amount of the Term Loans for the first 18 months paid semi-annually to provide a collateral protection insurance policy on behalf of the lenders. Such rate for the Lender Fees will decrease to 2.5% after the 18-month anniversary of the Term Loan Closing Date. As the lenders are the sole beneficiary of the insurance policy, the Lender Fees are deemed to be additional fees payable to the Lenders and is therefore being recognized as interest expense over the term of the Term Loan based on effective interest method. The Company used the proceeds from the Term Loan to (i) repay outstanding amounts equal to approximately $30.0 million under the Company’s existing loan facilities, (ii) fund an escrow account on the Term Loan Closing Date for an amount equal to the first four interest payments, (iii) pay certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, and (iv) fund the Lender Fees, together with related taxes, with the remaining proceeds to be used to fund growth investments and for general corporate purposes as permitted under the Credit Agreement. The outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan bears interest at the applicable margin plus, at the Company’s election, either (i) the Term SOFR published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited for a one-month interest period plus 0.15% or (ii) the alternate base rate (“ABR”), which is a per annum rate equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), (b) the NYFRB Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.50% and (c) the Term SOFR plus 1.00%. The applicable margin under the Credit Agreement is 8.50% per annum with respect to SOFR loans, and 7.50% per annum with respect to ABR loans. As of June 30, 2024, the contractual interest rate was approximately 14.0%. The Company was amortizing the discounts on an effective interest basis over the period from issuance through April 14, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”). The effective interest rate was 25.18% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 . The Company incurred $6.0 million in stated interest in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and paid $3.5 million for the period . During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , the Company recorded $1.5 million in interest expense related to the debt discount. On June 7, 2024, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Payoff Letter”) to prepay in full all indebtedness and other amounts outstanding and owing under the Credit Agreement. In connection with the Term Loan prepayment, the Company paid a total of $105.6 million on June 7, 2024, which consisted of (i) the remaining principal amount outstanding of $100.0 million, (ii) a prepayment premium of $5.0 million, (iii) transaction expenses of $0.6 million, resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment of $15.6 million. Accordingly, the accrued and unpaid interest of $2.6 million was waived under the Payoff Letter. Amelia Debt In connection with the Amelia Acquisition, the Company assumed the amended senior secured term loan facility from Amelia in an aggregate principal amount of $121.5 million, which was issued pursuant to the existing Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) of Amelia with Monroe Capital Management Advisors, LLC (“Monroe”), as administrative and collateral agent for certain affiliated funds of Monroe, as lenders. In accordance with the terms of the debt assumed, on August 7, 2024, the Company paid $70.0 million in cash to pay down a portion of the outstanding principal balance and issued 2,943,917 shares of Class A common stock to settle certain fees associated with the Amelia Debt. The remaining outstanding balance of $39.7 million has a maturity date of June 30, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”) and provides, at the Company’s election, for payment of a portion of interest in cash or in kind ("PIK"), in which case interest will be capitalized and added to the outstanding principal amount, with principal and accrued interest due at the Maturity Date. The Amelia Debt may be prepaid at any time and must be prepaid, along with the applicable prepayment premium and exit fee, upon the occurrence of certain future events. The Amelia Debt will accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the sum of (a) Adjusted Term SOFR and (b)(i) an applicable margin of 9.00% for the portion of interest paid in cash, and (ii) an additional 1.00% for the portion of interest paid in kind. Upon an event of default, the interest rate will automatically increase by an additional 2.00% per annum, and may result in the declaration that all outstanding principal and interest under the Amelia Debt be immediately due and payable in whole or in part. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded and paid $1.0 million in interest expense, of which $0.1 million was paid to settle the PIK that was capitalized and added to the outstanding principal amount during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The following table summarizes the Company’s debt balances as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands): September 30, December 31, Term Loan $ — $ 100,000 Amelia Debt 39,694 Unamortized discount and debt issuance costs — (15,688) Carrying value of long-term debt $ 39,694 $ 84,312

Redemption The Series A Preferred Stock is not mandatorily redeemable. Conversion Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into such number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Liquidation Preference per share at the time of conversion divided by $1.00 (the “Conversion Price”). In addition, each share of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at the Conversion Price on or after January 20, 2024 if and when the daily volume-weighted average closing price per share of Class A Common Stock is at least 2.5 times the Conversion Price for each of any 90 trading days during any 120 consecutive trading day period, which 120-trading day period may commence (but may not end) prior to January 20, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the condition of automatic conversion was met and all the remaining Series A Preferred Stock were automatically converted. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 475,005 shares of preferred stock were converted into 16,624,215 shares of Class A Common Stock. The conversion was pursuant to the original terms of the agreement and therefore the carrying value of Series A Preferred Stock was converted into Class A Common Stock with no gain or loss upon conversion. There was no conversions during the three months ended September 30, 2024. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, some Investors optionally converted 353,338 shares of preferred stock into 11,375,090 shares of Class A Common Stock.

The outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. On all matters to be voted upon, subject to the rights of any holders of any series of preferred stock, holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to the stockholders for their vote or approval. Holders of Class A and B Common Stock are entitled to one vote and ten votes per share respectively on all matters submitted to the stockholders for their vote or approval. Each share of Class B Common Stock shall convert into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock upon mandatory or optional conversion. Shares of Class B Common Stock will be automatically converted into shares of Class A Common Stock upon the occurrence of certain future events, generally including transfers, subject to limited exceptions set forth in the amended charter. The conversion of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock will have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative voting power of those holders of Class B Common Stock who retain their shares in the long term. As a result, it is possible that one or more of the persons or entities holding our Class B Common Stock could gain significant voting control as other holders of Class B Common Stock sell or otherwise convert their shares into Class A Common Stock.

The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation to value the contingent earnout consideration. The Company selected this model as it believes it is reflective of all significant assumptions that market participants would likely consider in negotiating the transfer of the contingent earnout consideration. Such assumptions include, among other inputs, expected stock price volatility, risk-free rates, and change in control assumptions. The Company estimates the expected volatility of its common stock based on historical volatility of a peer group, considering the remaining term of the contingent earnout consideration. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the valuation date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the contingent earnout consideration. The expected life of the contingent earnout consideration is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero. The fair value of the Contingent SYNQ3 Earnout Consideration acquired from SYNQ3 Acquisition has been estimated as of the Closing Date and September 30, 2024, with the following assumptions for the unobservable inputs: January 3, 2024 September 30, 2024 Discount rate 12.6 % 10.0 % Expected stock price volatility 115.3 % 130.0 % Risk-free interest rate 4.2 % 3.6 % Expected dividend yield 0.0 % 0.0 % Expected life 0.5 - 2.5 years 0.13 - 1.75 years The fair value of the Contingent Amelia Earnout Consideration acquired from Amelia Acquisition has been estimated as of the Closing Date and September 30, 2024, with the following assumptions for the unobservable inputs: August 6, 2024 September 30, 2024 Metric specific discount rate 8.0 % 7.5 % Earnout payment discount rate 3.8 % 3.6 % Expected stock price volatility 73.0 % 70.0 % Expected metric volatility 11.0 % 11.0 % Risk-free interest rate for target revenue 4.0 % 3.7 % Risk-free interest rate for stock price 3.8 % 3.6 % Expected dividend yield 0.0 % 0.0 % Expected life 1.4 - 2.4 years 1.25 - 2.25 years There were no transfers of financial instruments between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUM_2

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation The (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, which has been derived from audited financial statements as filed in the Company’s Form 10-K, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 1, 2024 and (b) the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Any reference in these notes to applicable accounting guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP included in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of September 30, 2024, and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 or any future interim period. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.
Reclassification	Reclassification Certain accounts in the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements were reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. The reclassification had an immaterial impact on our consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the prior year period.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, accrued liabilities, derivative and warrant liabilities, calculation of the incremental borrowing rate, financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the accounting for business combinations and allocating purchase price, valuation and estimating the useful life of identifiable intangible assets, probability of achievement of revenue estimates related to contingent earnout consideration and performance-based equity awards, valuation of deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions and the fair value of common stock and other assumptions used to measure stock-based compensation expense. In connection with the measurement period for the acquisition of SYNQ3, management revised certain significant estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which include, but are not limited to, the recognition and measurement of assumed contingent liabilities and deferred and contingent holdback consideration. There was no measurement period adjustment for the previous acquisitions during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, the current economic environment, and on assumptions it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The Company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Changes in those estimates resulting from changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Segment Information	Segment Information The Company has determined that the Chief Executive Officer is its chief operating decision maker. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer reviews discrete financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it operates as a single reportable segment.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties	Concentrations of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, the balances of which frequently exceed federally insured limits. The Company regularly monitors its credit risk exposure and takes steps to mitigate the likelihood of these exposures resulting in actual loss.
Business Combinations and Contingent Consideration	Business Combinations and Contingent Consideration Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The Company allocates the fair value of the purchase price of an acquisition to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair values of these net tangible and intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but the estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. The estimates and assumptions used in valuing intangible assets include, but are not limited to, the amount and timing of projected future cash flows, discount rate used to determine the present value of these cash flows and asset lives. These estimates are inherently uncertain and, therefore, actual results may differ from the estimates made. As a result, during the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may make adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the measurement period's conclusion or final determination of the fair value of the purchase price of an acquisition, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period they are identified. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and expensed as incurred.
Goodwill	Goodwill
Intangible Assets with Definite Lives	Intangible Assets with Definite Lives The Company's intangible assets consist principally of developed technology, customer relationships, tradename, and conversation data. The Company assesses the appropriate method of amortization of the intangible assets that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed. The Company determined that a straight-line method of amortization was appropriate for its intangible assets. The remaining useful lives of long-lived assets are re-assessed periodically at the asset group level for any events and circumstances that may change the future cash flows expected to be generated from the long-lived asset or asset group.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted	Recent Accounting Pronouncements — Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which expands disclosures about a public business entity's reportable segments and provides for more detailed information about a reportable segment's expenses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. Preliminarily, the Company will have increased disclosure requirements for its single reportable segment related to its significant segment expenses as well as additional information on its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and its use of reported measures. The Company will continue to evaluate this ASU to determine its impact on disclosures. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, which requires more detailed income tax disclosures. The guidance requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply them retrospectively. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on the financial statement disclosures.
