Contenseo, an innovative startup within Trinity College Dublin’s ADAPT Centre for AI-Driven Digital Content Technology, has received €390,000 in funding from Enterprise Ireland’s Commercialisation Fund. This investment will support Contenseo’s mission to transform the content licensing industry through advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

Contenseo aims to connect copyright holders and publishers with individuals and organizations seeking high-quality content to engage and grow their audiences. By leveraging AI, the platform streamlines the licensing process, making it more convenient, swift, and secure, thereby saving time and reducing costs for all parties involved.

Led by principal investigator Dr. Carl Vogel, Contenseo offers content owners enhanced opportunities to monetize their copyrighted materials, while providing buyers with an efficient way to access premium content.

Stephen Conmy, co-founder of Contenseo, stated: “Our mission is to support and reward creators and copyright owners of high-quality content. Our platform enables creators to register and license their work—including written content, videos, audio, images, and designs—while simplifying the process for those looking to license content through our innovative Licence Finder.”

Contenseo’s online service bridges the gap between content licensors and licensees through its Licence Finder feature, which utilizes machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) to facilitate transparent and efficient licensing transactions. This AI-powered digital assistant ensures successful outcomes for all users.

Aiden Murray, co-founder, added: “With just a simple line of code, Contenseo allows any website or platform to license their content seamlessly. Our system simplifies licensing, negotiation of terms, reporting, and invoicing through a unified dashboard, much like Shopify for content licensing. Supported by Enterprise Ireland and ADAPT’s expertise in AI and machine learning, our solution optimizes the licensing process for both licensors and licensees.”

Contenseo targets a diverse range of customers, including publishers seeking to increase web traffic, businesses aiming to enhance inbound marketing with high-quality content, creators needing content for their projects, and AI developers requiring legal, high-quality data. Additionally, copyright holders can leverage Contenseo’s technology to license their content and data, creating new revenue streams.

For content sellers, Contenseo offers an effortless way to monetize their work with benefits such as global distribution, improved SEO through authoritative backlinks, robust copyright protection, and a streamlined integration process. The AI-driven platform not only saves time but also opens up new licensing opportunities supported by comprehensive AI assistance.

Content buyers benefit from a more affordable, faster, and easier method to access high-quality content without the need to commission new work. Expert-driven content can significantly enhance a website’s authority and audience engagement, while Contenseo’s scalable solution eliminates traditional content licensing challenges, making it an attractive option for content professionals and publishers alike.

What is Content Licensing?

Content licensing is a legal agreement that grants permission to use copyrighted material, such as text, images, videos, or music, for specific purposes. It serves as a contract between the copyright holder (licensor) and the party seeking to use the content (licensee).
