Who we are, and why we care.
Oasy is an Amsterdam-based technology company helping publishers understand, control and monetise how AI agents interact with their content.
The free web — the one built by writers, bloggers, journalists, and digital publishers, is being drained by machines that don't pay rent. We're here to fix that, not by walling it off, but by giving the people who made it a way to get paid for it.

For thirty years, the web ran on a quiet handshake. You wrote something good, a search engine sent people to read it, and some fraction of those people bought a subscription, clicked an ad, or came back tomorrow. It wasn't perfect, but it worked.
Then the agents arrived. They read and summarise publishers' work, while sending back only a fraction of the traffic and value that search once did. The handshake broke, and nobody told the people who write the web.
We started Oasy because the answer isn't to block the agents — they're not going away, and a lot of them are genuinely useful. The answer is to re-negotiate the deal. When AI systems derive value from a publisher's work, the publisher should share in that value. If a publisher wants to be visible in AI answers, that should be a choice they make, on terms they set.
That's the whole thesis. Everything we build: AI traffic analytics, monetisation, access controls and machine-readable publisher services, is in service of one outcome: a web where the people who make things still get paid for making them.

What we actually care about.
Every important product decision starts with the same question: does this give publishers more control, more understanding or more value? If it does none of those things, we reconsider it.
We don't want a smaller web with higher walls. We want a bigger web where value flows back to the people creating it. That means supporting open standards such as MCP and NLWeb, rather than forcing publishers into another closed ecosystem.
The exciting part of Oasy is what publishers do with it. Our job is to provide the infrastructure underneath it: fast, predictable and almost invisible.
We'd love to talk.
