Protecting artists
in the age of AI.

Our unique technology can identify when large AI models have incorporated your copyrighted work during their training or down-stream generation. We provide a transparent report with supporting evidence, enabling you to address past usage and move towards a clearer and more collaborative future – one that gives agency to creatives and AI innovators alike.

We’re now rolling out this tool to early adopters. Interested? You’ll get the opportunity to protect your unique style and body of work. In exchange we may ask you for feedback on the technology. The cost is zero. Through this close partnership, we are ensuring that the tool meets the needs of artists working across modalities, domains, and scales.
