| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation and Preparation |
Basis of Presentation and Preparation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2019. Interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results the Company will have for the full year ending December 31, 2019. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring, necessary to fairly state its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial data and the other information disclosed in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements reflected in the three month period presented are unaudited. The December 31, 2018 balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures or notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. |
| Liquidity and Capital Resources |
Liquidity and Capital Resources During 2018 and 2017, the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of $42,227 and $31,911, respectively, and incurred net losses of $61,104 and $59,601, respectively. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company generated negative cash flow from operations of $18,428 and incurred a net loss of $47,194. Also, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $217,605 as of September 30, 2019. Historically, the Company has satisfied its capital needs with the net proceeds from its sales of equity securities, its issuances of convertible debt, and the exercise of common stock warrants. In June 2018, the Company raised net proceeds of $32,780 through an underwritten offering of its common stock, and in the first nine months of 2019, the Company raised net proceeds of $17,531 through sales of its common stock under an Equity Distribution Agreement dated June 1, 2018 (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”). The Company expects to continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future as it makes significant investments in developing and selling its products and services. Also, the Company will continue to evaluate potential acquisitions of, or investments in, companies or technologies that complement its business, which acquisitions may require the use of cash. Management believes that the Company’s existing balances of cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $49,188 as of September 30, 2019, will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash requirements for at least twelve months from the date that these financial statements are issued. However, the Company’s does not expect that its current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to support the development of its business to the point at which the Company has positive cash flows from operations, particularly if it uses cash to finance any acquisitions or investments in the future. The Company plans to meet its future needs for additional capital through equity and/or debt financings. Such equity financings may include sales of common stock under the Company’s Equity Distribution Agreement pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of its common stock having an aggregate available offering price of up to $27,679. Such financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to it when required, the Company’s ability to continue to support its business growth, scale its infrastructure, develop product enhancements and to respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired. |
| Use of Accounting Estimates |
Use of Accounting Estimates The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The principal estimates relate to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, the valuation of stock awards and stock warrants, income taxes, and the allocation of net assets acquired from business acquisitions as well as contingent consideration, where applicable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| Significant Customers |
Significant Customers The Company’s top ten customers accounted for approximately 30.1% and 23.4% of the Company’s net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The Company’s top ten customers accounted for approximately 44.3% and 44.1% of the Company’s net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. No individual customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. |
| Significant Accounting Policies |
Significant Accounting Policies During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company’s significant accounting policies remained unchanged from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

| Revenue Recognition |
Revenue Recognition The Company licenses content in exchange for advertising trade credits. Such credits can be redeemed by the Company for the purpose of radio or television advertising time and other advertising space. The Company records these transactions based on the value of the content that is licensed. |
| Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force), which provides guidance intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. This standard became effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2019. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents and is intended to reduce the diversity in practice of such presentations. This standard requires amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts on the statement of cash flows. This standard became effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. An entity no longer will determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The FASB also eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. The Company adopted the amendments in this update early, as permitted by the update, beginning in the third quarter of 2019. The adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which provides expanded guidance to simplify the accounting for stock-based compensation by aligning the treatment of stock-based awards for nonemployees with that of stock-based awards for employees. The Company adopted this standard early, as permitted by this update, beginning in the third quarter of 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
| Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”) and has subsequently issued several additional standards related to ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the “new revenue standard”), which amend the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The new revenue standard is based on principles that govern the recognition of revenue at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to receive when products are transferred to customers. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. As an emerging growth company, the Company is not required to accelerate the application of the new revenue standard to interim periods. The Company will adopt the new revenue standard in the fourth quarter of 2019 effective for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. In adopting the new revenue standard, the Company will use the modified retrospective method with an adjustment to accumulated deficit for the cumulative effect of adoption. The Company has performed an assessment to determine the impact of the new revenue standard on its accounting policies and consolidated financial statements. This assessment process has consisted of reviewing the Company’s current accounting policies and practices to identify potential differences that would result from applying the requirements of the new revenue standard to the Company’s contracts with customers. The Company has evaluated its business to identify different revenue streams and reviewed individual customer contracts related to each of the identified revenue streams. For advertising arrangements, the Company generally does not expect any changes in its recognition of revenue as the performance obligations are completed by the end of each reporting period. For the Company’s aiWARE SaaS revenue arrangements, the Company expects changes in the timing of revenue recognition for only certain variable consideration arrangements. For the majority of the Company’s content licensing revenue arrangements, the Company does not expect any changes in its recognition of revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied as soon as the licensed content is made available for download and use by the customer. The Company is continuing to evaluate content licensing arrangements in which a customer pays a fixed fee to license a specific amount of content over a specified period of time to determine the impact of the new revenue standard on these arrangements. The Company is completing its implementation of the new revenue standard and continuing to evaluate the impact of the new revenue standard on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments under this pronouncement will change the way all leases with duration of one year or more are treated. Under this guidance, lessees will be required to capitalize virtually all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and an associated financing lease liability or capital lease liability. The right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the specified lease term. The lease liability represents the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, measured on a discounted basis. Based on certain characteristics, leases are classified as financing leases or operating leases. Financing lease liabilities, those that contain provisions similar to capitalized leases, are amortized in the same manner as capital leases are amortized under current accounting rules, as amortization expense and interest expense in the statement of operations. Operating lease liabilities are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as lease expense in the statement of operations. This standard will be effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its policies and procedures pertaining to its existing and future lease arrangements, its disclosure requirements and its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, as part of its disclosure framework project intended to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements by updating certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. |
