Dappier is the world’s first online marketplace for AI content and data rights. Get paid fairly as your licensed content is accessed by AI companies around the world.
Hey PH fam 👋
Today, I'm super excited to bring Dappier 2.0 to the wider tech community around the world! 🌎
We’re in the middle of an unprecedented AI revolution with an explosion of LLMs that are scraping the Internet to power Gen AI. This is fantastic except for ... the traditional media companies who are getting left behind.
If you're a content/ media publisher, the writing is on the wall. Your licensed content is NOT protected from getting scraped/accessed by ChatGPT, LLaMA or Claude etc. along with thousands of other AI agents.
So what are your choices?
Either ignore the problem and suffer from the direct web traffic (from human users) to your websites.
Or be part of the revolution and see AI as a new distribution and revenue channel.
That's what really got me excited about Dappier when @dgoikhman shared this vision with me.
Dappier is the world’s first online marketplace for AI content and data rights.
Now media companies (websites, blogs, newsletters) can get paid fairly as their licensed content is accessed by millions of AI agents around the world on a pay-per-query or ad-supported basis.
Are you a media company or a content owner? Well, explore Dappier by yourself. The entire platform is self-serve and has a free forever plan that allows you to connect your content via RSS or simply by connecting an Airtable.
Most publishing platforms (Beehiiv, Substack, Medium, etc) all support RSS feed creation so you can be chatting with an AI based on your content and licensing it to generate new revenue in minutes.
How cool is that?! Your blog could be turned into an AI interface.
Here are some more key features: → Connect your data
Connect your content and proprietary data from anywhere. Your data stays exclusively your own.
→ Self-Serve Fine-Tuning
Use our self-serve platform to easily transform all your content and data into something an AI can talk to.
→ Publish your AI agents
Launch new AI-powered chatbots, natural search and content recommendations on your sites and apps.
→ Monetize your content
Generate new revenue by permissioned content syndication to AI companies and setting your own price.
I recently got a chance to check out the demo and I was instantly impressed.
Everyone on the founding team are passionate about this problem and have deep domain (media tech) expertise across multiple startups. I felt compelled by their vision and agreed to help with this public PH launch campaign.
Big shoutout to the Dappier team (Dan, Krish, Josh, Akshay and more) who are all here today 😀
Check out the tool and feel free to drop any comments, questions or suggestions below ⤵️
Great launch, team Dappier. I could see this coming . Data and content are the backbone of every model. Dappier will surely help content creators.
Love the idea! The self serve fine tuning feature is particularly is what i was looking for. Thanks buddy!
It's about time someone build a tool (and maybe a marketplace) for services like AI to license novel content. Congrats @thisiskp_ and team!
Cool idea - love the thought of being able to find data I know is safe to train from thousands of potential providers - can’t wait to try it out!
Congratulations on the launch. I'm still trying to understand the product well so I would be spending the time reading comments.
We are a small self-publisher with 15 books and 2 YouTube livestreams/podcasts (Author Adventure 51 shows and Wild West Diversity 73 shows) and 2 substacks (AuthorLizLawless 77 articles and WildWestDiversity 22 articles) and lead a dynamic authors group of about 30 other self-published authors (1-11 books depending on author). Signed up through KP's substack article/interview. What should we do first? I receive AirTable newsletter but not sure how it works.
Wow! I’ve used products similar but Dappier has much more features, great design, looks super easy to use, and users can get paid! Must give it a shot later this week!
This is an interesting idea as I don't feel great about creating content based on my experience that's then vacuumed up by an LLM and repackaged to their users without getting any kind of recognition.
However, I'm very confused about your product.
After going through your website I still had a number of questions that prevented me from signing up:
1. How much can I earn? I understand that it's going to be different for everyone, but give me some ballpark figures to see if it's worth my time checking your product out further.
2. I write a blog using Wordpress that has lots of curated data. It's not a big blog but gets some traffic, I can't work out if Dappier is for me or is it for big media houses? Who is Dappier for? How do I know if LLMs want my data or content?
3. I don't get what happens after I add my website, do I sit back and watch the money roll in or do I have to be pro-active?
4. If I earn money from my content why do I need a paid plan?
5. What is an AI agent? I didn't find anything that talks about what an AI agent is or why it's necessary to create one to earn money
The author is so sincere in the comment section, let's give them some support. Best of luck with the launch! 🌟
Dappier’s marketplace is great for protecting and monetizing content. Best of luck with the launch!
Dappier 2.0 is a game-changer! Love how it combats AI data scraping and ensures fair payment for content. The marketplace concept is brilliant. Great job on this launch!
@thisiskp_ Congratulations on the launch! The platform has great potential to reshape content rights management in the AI era! How does Dappier 2.0 track and manage the usage of licensed content by AI companies?
Congrats on the launch! I'm curious how you ensure fair compensation for content creators? Do you have any data on average earnings so far? Also, how do you handle potential copyright issues with AI companies accessing licensed content?
Hello Product Hunt community!
I’m Dan, co-founder and CEO at Dappier, a first of it’s kind marketplace helping content owners monetize AI, as recently featured on TechCrunch (https://techcrunch.com/2024/06/2...).
For the last 15 years or so I’ve been building startups at the intersection of content distribution, monetization, and emerging technology, working closely with media publishers, content owners, and ad tech companies.
When Open AI launched ChatGPT I personally witnessed the growing fear among media publishers about how their content was being used without permission or attribution. In the year or so since, things haven’t gotten much better; there have been dozens of lawsuits filed by major media companies against the AI platforms like New York Times vs. OpenAI. In parallel, we’ve heard about a few big licensing deals like those happening between Reddit and Google. The problem with these whole-sale licensing agreements is that while a few large publishers may be able to get them, they still greatly undervalue the content and aren’t accessible for most publishers and creators. The problem is only getting worse as we see every major consumer app including Google Search, Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin and more including AI answers in their core experiences. If publishers and content owners don’t act now to try and define the rules of how their content is accessed by AI, the rules will be written for them.
Now is the time for a better solution.
Instead of looking at “...AI as a traffic destroying nightmare” as the WSJ recently said, I think publishers can start thinking about AI as a new distribution opportunity; just like the web, social, video, and other emerging platforms that came before, except this time, we’re going to be seeing millions of AI agents hungry for content all around the world.
We believe queries from LLMs are the new ad impression in this new, AI internet.
That’s why we are building Dappier. The world’s first online marketplace for AI content and data rights. Now media companies (websites, blogs, newsletters) can get paid fairly as their licensed content is accessed by millions of AI agents around the world on a pay-per-query or ad-supported basis. The entire platform is self-serve and has a free forever plan that allows you to connect your content via RSS or simply by connecting an Airtable. Most publishing platforms (Beehiiv, Substack, Medium, etc) all support RSS feed creation so you can be chatting with an AI based on your content and licensing it to generate new revenue in minutes.
