Data Partnerships
Monetize your data.
Put decades of content to work with AI. Druid Learning prepares your archive, from news and books to learning materials, research, audio and video, as raw files or a structured dataset, and connects you with frontier AI companies looking for high‑quality data.
Why your archive matters
AI models learn from what people have written, recorded and taught.
Much of the best of it was never on the open web.

Questions & answers
What is a data partnership?
An arrangement in which your organisation shares content from its archive with an AI company, as raw files or a structured dataset, to help build and improve AI models.
What kind of content can we share?
News and broadcast archives, books and magazines, learning materials, research papers and reports, audio and video, in any format from OCR and PDF to MP3 and MP4.
Does our archive need to be digitised or structured first?
No. Some AI companies want raw files, others want structured datasets with clean text and metadata. Druid Learning prepares your content in whatever form your partner needs.
Do we have to share everything?
No. You choose which collections, formats and date ranges are included. You can start with a single collection.
Which organisations is this for?
Content-rich organisations with original material, especially news and broadcast media, book, magazine and educational publishers, and research and life-sciences organisations.
What makes an archive valuable to AI companies?
AI companies look for large, high-quality content that isn't already publicly available online, especially long-form, professionally created material. Archives that have never been on the open web are exactly that.
How is this different from AI crawler marketplaces?
Crawler marketplaces charge AI bots for access to your live website. A data partnership is built on your archive, including content that has never been online, and is agreed directly with the AI company.
What happens after we get in touch?
We'll reply within 1–3 business days to arrange a call about your archive and what you'd like to achieve.
