Selling knowledge-base articles to AI companies: what to know

By Noah Loul · Updated

Short answer

Knowledge-base articles can be valuable to AI companies because they provide clean, authoritative answers. They are typically licensed under a written agreement rather than sold outright, and preparation usually involves confirming authorship rights.

Why it's valuable#

Knowledge-base articles provide clean, authoritative answers. Large volumes, long histories and specialized domains increase interest.

How to prepare it#

Preparation commonly involves confirming authorship rights. Requirements should be agreed with the buyer before any work begins.
