Private beta — Representation for the agentic era
REP9 sets the licence for everything you share — on calls, in chat, anywhere systems are listening. One declaration, made in seconds, puts your position on the record before the conversation begins.
Recording started
00:00:04“This participant is contributing to this conversation under licence — see https://r7f4k2.rep9.net. All other rights reserved.”
The conversation continues — represented
The idea
A company greets you with “this call may be recorded, see our terms.” A platform binds you the moment you sign up. The notetaker in your meeting carries someone else’s retention policy. Every organised participant in a conversation shows up with terms attached — except the individual.
In law, you’d have a lawyer. In entertainment, an agent. Representation is how individuals deal with bigger, better-organised counterparties — and it’s exactly what’s been missing from the conversations that now get recorded, transcribed, analysed and reused by default.
REP9 is your representation. A handshake you make at the start of any conversation — spoken or written — that sets the licence for what you contribute and reserves every right you don’t grant. Not a recording blocker. Not a legal threat. A calm, standing statement of your position, made before you say a word.
The declaration
Your REP9 is a short declaration containing your personal link. Say it at the top of a call, or drop it into the chat, a thread, a post:
“This participant is contributing to this conversation under licence — see https://r7f4k2.rep9.net. All other rights reserved.”
How it works
Pick the permissions you grant and the rights you reserve — no AI training, your IP and ideas stay yours, no sharing the record beyond the people present, custom limits — or combine them. REP9 turns it into your personal licence at your own link.
Say the sentence as the call starts (or let REP9 play it for you, in a voice tuned to be transcribed cleanly). Or paste it: a Slack message, an email footer, a pinned post. Same sentence, any surface.
The declaration sits in the conversation’s own record and resolves to your full licence — readable by the people in the room and by the systems doing the listening. The conversation itself carries on as normal; the licence speaks to how what you shared can be used afterwards.

Nobody on the other side installs anything. If their tools capture the conversation, they capture your declaration with it.
Why it matters
Where no position is on the record, the record defaults to whoever kept it. These are the situations people tell us they think about:
You speak candidly in the first ten minutes of a call. Someone joins late — and afterwards their tools hand them the full transcript, including everything you said before they arrived. That’s a redistribution of your words you never contemplated, and exactly the kind of later use your licence speaks to.
A freelancer talks a prospect through their thinking. Nobody acts in bad faith — but the prospect’s systems analyse the transcript and generate derivative work. No human copied anything; the ideas moved anyway. A licence covering IP and derivative use is written into the very record those systems read.
Companies fold. Their chat logs, recordings and inboxes get bought and mined years later, by parties who were never in the conversation. A licence granted at the time travels with the record — into futures nobody in the room anticipated.
Sometimes your employer’s contract, or a company-to-company agreement, governs the call — and may take precedence over your personal licence. That’s fine. Contracts leave gaps, and today those gaps default entirely to the other side’s assumptions. Your declaration fills the space the bigger agreements don’t reach.
For the systems doing the listening
Today a declaration is a sentence in a transcript. Next, it’s a signed exchange between agents. We’re building for the systems on the other side of the conversation:
Resolve a participant’s licence programmatically. Your notetaker or agent detects a REP9 declaration and retrieves the machine-readable licence behind it, at capture time.
Agent-to-agent handshakes. A signed REP9 assertion exchanged at the start of a conversation and stored with its history — the declaration, with a signature instead of a sentence.
In private beta we’re working with a small number of partners. If you build notetakers, meeting agents, or conversation intelligence, say hello:
partners@rep9.netWho it’s for
REP9 accounts belong to people, not companies. If your conversations carry ideas, advice, or confidences — if you pitch, consult, advise, research, create, or just talk about work that isn’t public yet — you’re who the private beta is for.
The account stays personal — but soon you’ll be able to join a conversation on behalf of an organization and inherit its licence for that conversation. For firms whose people carry their IP into every call, that’s every employee, represented, by default. Coming later; individuals come first.
Where this goes
Companies took a century to make their terms ambient — on tickets, on websites, on hold music. Individuals are going to do it in a decade, because now there’s something in the room that actually reads them. As agents attend more of our conversations — and hold more of them for us — the REP9 handshake becomes part of how any interaction opens: your licence, granted and exchanged in the first second, wherever you show up. That’s the standard we’re building. It starts with one sentence.

FAQ
No — that’s the point. Your declaration lands in the record their own tools produce. Nobody else installs anything or agrees to anything in advance.
Honestly: it depends, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. A REP9 declaration isn’t a contract the other side signs — it’s a licence you grant over what you share, to the extent you hold rights in it, with all other rights reserved. What REP9 gives you is that grant and reservation as a clear, timestamped statement, made in advance and kept in the conversation’s own record — notice and evidence, where before there was nothing. Whether any particular use respects it is a question for the situation (and, if it comes to it, for lawyers and courts).
No. Calls are where we started because that’s where the listening is most obvious — but the same declaration works anywhere you participate in writing or speech: team chat, email, posts, threads. One sentence, any surface.
No. The declaration says “this participant” — the meeting or thread already identifies you. You never have to add your name to use REP9.
We’ve tested this heavily — the link construction, the wording, even the voice of the played snippet are tuned to survive transcription. And because your declaration is a full sentence, your intent is clear in the record even when a character goes astray.
Your employer’s contract, or an agreement between companies, may take precedence over your personal licence — REP9 doesn’t pretend otherwise. But contracts leave gaps, and your declaration speaks to the gaps that would otherwise default to the other side entirely.
No. REP9 assumes AI is in the room and works through it — your licence is designed to be read by the systems doing the listening. It’s pro-clarity: participate on your terms instead of opting out.
Nothing during the private beta. We’ll be transparent about pricing well before that changes.
