There is a market for your records.
Email, documents and support tickets are the kind of records AI labs license. Get an indicative range for yours in about a minute.

The shift
The open internet is largely used up. Company records are not.
AI labs trained their models on text anyone could download. Little of that supply is left. What they are missing is how real companies work: a quote being revised, a support case being fixed, a project moving from start to handoff.
That knowledge lives in the email, files and tools your team uses every day. Labs license these records, with private details removed, to train and test their models.
The process
After your estimate, three steps
Begin with the estimate. When you submit, a specialist from License Your Data, our licensing partner, calls within minutes to set up a 15-minute call.
- 01
The 15-minute call
Talk through your systems, how far back they go and what must stay out. It all starts under NDA.
- 02
A de-identified copy
License Your Data prepares a copy with names replaced by placeholders. Nothing original ever leaves your systems.
- 03
Licensing the copy
Once you approve a sample, AI labs license the copy. No passwords, no cost to you.
Eligible data
Records from the systems you already run on
Established companies usually hold years of records spread over these systems. You decide which of them are in scope.
Email
Threads with customers, vendors and each other, showing how requests turn into decisions.
Docs and shared drives
Proposals, procedures, templates and project files kept in shared folders.
Messaging
Threads and channels where day to day issues come up and get fixed.
CRM
Account history, follow ups and deal notes for every customer relationship.
Support cases
Questions, troubleshooting steps and resolutions, from first message to close.
Project software
How work travels from start to finish across boards, tasks and handoffs.
Finance and ERP
Orders, purchasing and operational workflows, with sensitive numbers kept out.
Code
Code reviews, repositories and history from software built in house.
Wondering which of your tools qualify? It takes roughly a minute to get an estimate.

Start my estimateKept out
Private data can stay out
Personal details, bank and card numbers, health information and anything else you flag can be left out or de-identified before anything is shared.
Nothing moves without your approval
You check and sign off on the scope. Anything you leave out is never licensed.
Your records stay yours
Your systems and originals stay with you when you license. Your business keeps running as it always has.
Security, answeredWhich businesses is this for?
Firms with 20 or more people, at least 3 years behind them and records stored in business software.
How much does the estimate cost?
Nothing. Requesting an estimate is free and creates no obligation.
Who will call me after I send it?
Usually within minutes, a specialist from License Your Data, our licensing partner, calls you.
Do I have to include every system?
No. The systems, date ranges and record types are up to you. Whatever you exclude stays excluded.
What happens to personal or sensitive information?
Before anything is shared it can be excluded or de-identified, and the scope needs your approval first.
Is the range I see an offer?
No. It is an indicative estimate based on your answers. Real value depends on buyer interest and a review of your records.
We are a law, accounting or healthcare practice. Is this open to us?
You and your counsel decide the scope, and client or patient data stays out. We do not advise on whether licensing is right for your practice.
Is the estimate different by industry?
No. Your range depends on headcount and years in business.
