What is AI Licensing?

A fair marketplace for AI training data

The Old Way

AI companies scrape public data without permission or compensation. Creators get nothing while their knowledge powers billion-dollar models.

No consent. No compensation. No control.

The WeReally Way

You control your content through opt-in/opt-out. WeReally brokers fair deals. Creators earn 70% of revenue based on their verified contributions.

Individual control. Transparent. Fair.

Why AI Companies Need Licensing
As AI models become more sophisticated, they need high-quality, verified, domain-specific knowledge. Community-curated knowledge with peer review and attestations is far more valuable than raw scraped data. Formal licensing also reduces legal risk and ensures ethical AI development.

How Your Content Gets Licensed

A simple three-step process

1

You Opt Into Licensing

Control whether your content can be licensed through your settings. Opt in to participate in licensing deals and earn revenue, or opt out to exclude your contributions. You can change this anytime.

2

WeReally Negotiates Deals

WeReally brokers licensing agreements with AI companies on behalf of opted-in users. We handle all negotiations, pricing, usage restrictions, and legal terms to secure the best possible deals while maintaining ethical standards.

3

Revenue Distributed to You

Licensing fees are automatically distributed to opted-in creators. You earn 70% of revenue from your contributions based on volume, quality, and trust scores. Payments are made monthly once you reach the $25 threshold.

How Your Share is Calculated
Your Revenue = (Total Licensing Fee × 70%) × Your Contribution Share

Your contribution share is calculated as: Your Score / Total Community Score
Where your score = Volume × Quality × Trust

This formula ensures creators with more contributions, higher quality, and stronger peer validation earn proportionally more revenue.
