The buyers, by kind of data
Companies that pay for data, and which kind each buys
Updated
Each buyer takes one kind of data and pays one kind of seller. A company's records go to a data partner, a person's recordings to a capture project or a voice programme, and a website's pages to a crawler paywall.
Company records
micro1 looks for established companies with 30+ full-time employees and substantial historical operational data, and Handshake for companies with 20+ full time employees and 3+ years in operation. Maryah asks for records showing how a business handles a request, makes a decision and gets a result.

Voice, video and images
Voices invites people to projects that fit their language, accent or vocal style, Silencio's contributors record in their own language and are paid in stablecoin, and Shutterstock's datasets are built from contributors' visual content for companies training computer vision models.

A website's pages
When an AI system requests a publisher's content, TollBit enforces the rate the publisher set and processes payment in real time, and Cloudflare's pay per crawl, still in closed beta, charges a fee each time an AI crawler reaches a page in the site's zone.
