What is Cashmere?

Cashmere is a premium content licensing platform built specifically for publishers operating in an AI-driven ecosystem. It helps publishers bring their catalogs into AI workflows in a way that preserves consent, protects intellectual property, and unlocks new revenue opportunities.

Core capabilities

  • Centralizes premium content (think books, paid blogs, market research and academic journals) and related metadata so it can be safely integrated into AI products and services.
  • Provides licensing rights and access controls that let publishers define who can use specific content, under what terms, and in which AI contexts.
  • Supports flexible licensing models so publishers can experiment with usage-based pricing, enterprise deals, and new AI-native monetization strategies.

Why publishers love it

  • To maintain control over how their IP is ingested, referenced, or generated against by AI tools and platforms.
  • To track and measure how content is used across AI applications, enabling better reporting, analytics, and royalty workflows.
  • To create trusted, high-quality content rails for developers who want to build AI applications on licensed, compliant data rather than unlicensed web scrapes.

Why developers love it

  • To build AI applications on a foundation of licensed, authoritative content instead of unlicensed web scrapes of questionable provenance.
  • To access premium publisher catalogs through a single, consistent API rather than negotiating and integrating with each publisher individually.
  • To ship AI features with clear licensing terms and usage rights baked in, reducing legal risk for their products and customers.

Who is it for?

  • Publishers who need a structured way to participate in a growing AI economy without losing control of their IP
  • Rights, legal, and operations teams that manage licensing, compliance, and contracts for premium content in digital channels.
  • AI product teams and developers looking to integrate authoritative, licensed premium content into models, agents, and applications.
