Appen

Prepares company records and handles licensing discussions with AI labs.

Our verdict

Fits companies with substantial historical records, from SOPs and support to ERP, finance and HR, and the rights to license them. Appen does the extraction and anonymization at no cost, and you approve the sample and scope first. Ask who the legal licensee and payer are, and what exclusivity, retention and deletion terms apply.
