Artist Payment Automation Software

Let your AI agent handle payment requests, commission breakdowns, and overdue reminders—so you can focus on managing your artists, not chasing invoices.

An AI agent that manages, tracks, and drafts all artist payment requests, commission calculations, and follow-ups for artist managers.

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In the music and entertainment industry, artist managers spend 2 hours every week updating Google Sheets, referencing DocuSign contracts, and emailing payment requests to clients. The manual process of calculating commissions, tracking due dates, and following up on overdue payments is tedious and error-prone. Missed details can mean lost income, strained relationships, and endless back-and-forth with accounting. Relying on manual tracking across Gmail and Excel leaves too much room for mistakes.
