// Data licensing for AI
Your operational data is an asset. AI developers are licensing it.
Years of email, chat, tickets and project records are what AI developers are licensing now. Book a data consultation to find out where your company stands.
About four minutes. Nothing you tell us commits you.
What we look forYou pay nothing · We never hold your records · Your attorney reviews everything
How it works
Three easy steps.
Step 01: Tell us about your company
Explore your data value with the calculator, or start the booking process. We ask about your company, not for anything from it.
Step 02: Talk with a data specialist
We check your fit, walk you through your readiness assessment, and get you ready for the buyer.
Step 03: Get your offer
If it's a fit, the buyer reviews your records and makes an offer. Your attorney reviews the contract; once it's signed and accepted, you get paid.

What your consultation delivers
Your consultation covers readiness, what would improve it, and a prep pack your IT can fill in. You can also explore an illustrative estimate with our data value calculator. Neither the assessment nor the estimate is a buyer offer.
The assessment weighs years on your current systems, how many people work in writing, how many systems are in scope, whether work moves across them in connected trails, and how much of it you own outright.
What this is
AI developers license de-identified copies of real work records: years of email, chat, tickets, CRM entries and project files, from companies that own them outright. Personal information is de-identified, and data is handled in isolated pipelines. The company keeps ownership and licenses a copy for a fixed term.
Use the calculator to explore an estimate without connecting your systems. A consultation helps identify fit and the next questions to review. Nothing you tell us commits you to anything.
Who qualifies
| We look for | Why | Stays out |
|---|---|---|
| 6+ (depending on business type) employees, counting desk and non-desk staff together | WhyBusiness type sets the minimum size; written operational records still matter | Stays outMeeting a size threshold alone does not establish data suitability or eligibility |
| 2+ years on your current email, chat and CRM | WhyOnly years on the current software count; a tool switch resets the clock | Stays outYears before a migration |
| Work that happens in writing | WhyEmail, Slack or Teams, tickets, CRM. Phone-run businesses have little to license | Stays outCall-only operations |
| Records mostly in English, team in the US | WhyWhat evaluating parties ask for first | Stays outNon-English or offshore records |
| You own the records | WhyYour internal threads, process docs, tickets, projects | Stays outClient files, privileged material, patient data, tax returns, HR and payroll |
| You haven't applied to or licensed to anyone yet | WhyThe first application on record is the one that counts | Stays outCompanies already in an evaluation elsewhere |
| You can approve sharing company records | WhyOwner, CEO, COO or someone with that authority | Stays out— |
Below the threshold for your business type, or a different profile? See other programs, or book a data consultation anyway and we'll tell you what fits.

What the market is paying
Spirit Airlines' email and Teams archive (100 million emails, 500 million Teams messages) went to Google for $10M in a bankruptcy auction.
MIT Technology Review, Oct 13 2026, citing Reuters
AI labs are buying the archived email, chat, code and documents of shut-down companies to train their models.
One shut-down startup's founder received about $25,000 for its code base, with about $15,000 more pending for its workspace data.
One company that helps wind-down startups sell their assets has handled more than 150 deals and expects to return over $10 million by the end of 2026; 47% of its deals now include code or data.
The buyer program we route qualified companies to publishes "$100K–$2M+ for approved data packages" and adds, "This is an indicative estimate only - not a quote or binding offer."
