Media Acquisition Automation for Content Managers
Let an AI agent handle content discovery, draft outreach emails, and summarize licensing terms so you can focus on programming strategy and creative decisions.
You spend hours each week in Excel tracking media rights, writing repetitive emails in Outlook, and updating shared Google Sheets with inventory changes. As a content manager, the paperwork never ends—leaving you less time to curate standout programs and negotiate with distributors.
An AI agent that automates content selection, acquisition requests, legal tracking, and inventory management for media and content managers.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In the media and entertainment industry, content managers are buried in tedious admin: searching film catalogs, drafting acquisition requests in Gmail, and updating legal status in Excel. Every week, you manually check rights in Box folders and chase signatures for licensing agreements. These repetitive tasks slow down content launches and increase the risk of missed deadlines or compliance issues.

If you keep ignoring it
