How to license your company’s data to AI labs

Specific helps companies explore licensing data to AI labs. If your business owns records of real work, start with a private fit review through our data partnership form.

Useful work records can contain more than finished documents. They can show the question someone faced, the information they considered, the action they took, and the result. That context can help explain what an AI system would need to do in a real business setting.

Start with a description of the work

A useful inquiry explains what your business does and what its records capture. For example, a software company might describe the connection between issue reports, code changes, and review feedback. A service business might describe how requests move through a workflow and how outcomes are recorded.

Describe the systems involved, the period covered, and the approximate amount of data. Include whether related records can be connected. These are examples of information to discuss, rather than a promise that any particular dataset qualifies.

Define the proposed scope

A licensing conversation should establish which records are in scope, who can authorize their use, and what restrictions apply. Training and evaluation are different potential uses; the intended use should be clear before a dataset is shared.

It is fine to begin with uncertainty about fit. A short, accurate description is more useful than a large export without context.
