For IP Holders & Publishers

Your knowledge is being used for free. Change that.

Developers are building AI applications that rely on content like yours. Embeden gives them a legal, paid way to access it — and sends the revenue directly to you.

One-time $499 activation fee. 70% of every query goes to you. We earn when you earn.

The problem is real — and growing fast.

Every day, developers feed your standards, codes, and publications into AI systems — without a license, without payment, and without your knowledge. It's not always malicious. Often they simply have no legal way to access your content for AI use. Embeden creates that path.

Your content powers AI apps

Developers need authoritative, accurate sources. Your publications are exactly what they're looking for.

No legal access exists today

Traditional licensing wasn't built for per-query AI use. So developers improvise — and your IP goes uncompensated.

Embeden fills the gap

We create a simple, legal, metered way for developers to access your content and pay you for every use.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Embeden handles the technology so you can focus on what you do best.

Earn on every use

Set your own price per query. Every time a developer uses your content to power their application, you earn. No flat fees, no guessing — pure metered revenue.

Your content stays yours

We never share, resell, or redistribute your documents. Developers get answers — not your raw files. Your intellectual property is protected at every step.

Reach thousands of developers

Your content becomes discoverable in the Embeden marketplace — the destination developers go when they need authoritative, licensed knowledge for their AI applications.

See exactly what's valuable

Our analytics show you which sections of your documents are most used, which developers are your biggest customers, and how your revenue grows month over month.

Give your content a voice

Optionally offer a branded chat experience powered by your content. Embed it on your own website so your customers can get instant, accurate answers — from you.

Stop the unauthorized use

The alternative is developers scraping, copying, or training models on your content without permission. Embeden gives them a legal, paid path — so they take it.

Up and running in under an hour.

No technical knowledge required. If you can upload a file, you can publish on Embeden.

Simple, transparent pricing

No subscriptions. No tiers. No surprises. Here is exactly how the money works.

$499
One-time activation

Paid once when you publish your first dataset. Covers account verification, tax setup, and payout configuration. Never charged again.

70%
Your share of every query

You set the price per query. Developers pay it. You receive 70% of every charge, paid out monthly via Stripe to your bank account.

30%
Embeden platform fee

Covers infrastructure, marketplace hosting, developer support, fraud prevention, and payment processing. No hidden fees on top of this.

Example: You charge $0.01 per query

A developer runs 10,000 queries in a month → they pay $100. You receive $70. Embeden retains $30. At 100,000 queries/month, you earn $700. At 1,000,000 queries/month, you earn $7,000.

Common questions

Do developers get access to my actual documents?

No. Developers receive answers and relevant excerpts — not your raw files. Your documents are stored securely and never distributed.

How do I set my price?

You choose a price per query for each dataset. Most publishers charge between $0.001 and $0.05 per query. We provide benchmarks to help you price competitively.

When and how do I get paid?

Payouts are processed monthly via Stripe directly to your bank account. You can view your earnings and transaction history in real time from your dashboard.

What types of content can I publish?

Any text-based content you own the rights to: standards, codes, regulations, manuals, guidelines, legal texts, medical literature, and more.

Can I take my content down at any time?

Yes. You can unpublish or delete any dataset at any time. Active subscribers will be notified and billing will stop immediately.

What does Embeden take?

Embeden takes 30% of every query charge — that's it. You keep 70%. There are no monthly fees, no hidden charges, and no subscription tiers. The only upfront cost is a one-time $499 activation fee to publish your first dataset.

What is the $499 activation fee for?

The one-time $499 fee covers your account verification, tax compliance setup (W-9 or VAT registration), and Stripe Connect payout account configuration. It is a one-time cost — you never pay it again, regardless of how many datasets you publish.

Do I need to provide tax information?

Yes. Because Embeden pays out revenue to you, we are required to collect a W-9 (for US-based publishers) or a VAT number and country tax ID (for international publishers). This is a standard IRS and financial compliance requirement. Your information is stored securely and used only for tax reporting purposes.
