As the publishing industry becomes increasingly complex and global, rights management platforms must evolve to meet new challenges. At E3 The Rights Manager, we’re exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) can revolutionize the way rights are tracked, negotiated, and monetized.

AI isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a practical tool that can enhance the efficiency and accuracy of rights management. From automating repetitive tasks to predicting rights opportunities, AI has the potential to transform workflows at every level of the licensing lifecycle.

One of the most exciting possibilities we’re exploring is the ability to reduce manual data entry. Instead of having to fill in every field or upload details one by one, AI can help detect, complete, and organize information automatically.

One of the biggest time-savers AI can offer is in entering royalty statements. Today, this process can be long, manual, and prone to error.

With AI, we’re exploring ways to automatically read and process royalty reports. Instead of typing numbers into a system line by line, users could simply upload a file and have the data organized and entered automatically. And we are getting promising results.

In the future, we envision AI as a smart assistant: suggesting potential sublicensing deals, flagging conflicts and generating powerful reports.

We believe that the thoughtful integration of AI is not about replacing human expertise—it’s about empowering it. As we explore these possibilities, we’re committed to co-creating this next chapter with our users, ensuring AI features are both practical and aligned with literary agencies needs.

Stay tuned: this is just the beginning.
