AI-Driven Rights & Royalties Innovation
Rightsline is pushing the boundaries of AI and machine learning to transform rights and royalties workflows. Highlights include:

Key contract details are automatically extracted and mapped to Rightsline’s data model, with AI chat functionality helping validate and resolve discrepancies for improved accuracy.
- Deal Comparison & Insights: Rightsline’s AI-powered Deal Comparison feature allows users to compare manually entered data with AI-extracted data, identifying discrepancies and improving accuracy. The Deal Insights tool provides clear, human-readable responses from the entire rights database, while the AI contract assistant helps analyze contracts and metadata with customizable outputs in style, tone, and length.

Rights Explorer chat allows for easy analysis of availability results, providing clear summaries of key details, including partial availability and contributing rights, with quick, digestible insights.
