The problem

Creators run a business in seven tabs.

The work is the easy part. Running the business · CRM, proposals, contracts, invoicing, payments, taxes, scheduling · is the tax on your craft. And deals leak at every handoff between disconnected tools. Surveys peg it at 6+ hours a week on invoicing, chasing payments and the books · and 40% of owners say bookkeeping and taxes are the worst part of the job.

What it does

Five pillars, one spine.

Everything hangs off the shoot. Every proposal, invoice, and payment connects back to it · so nothing falls through the cracks.

Deal pipeline

From cold email to signed deal.

AI watches your connected inboxes, flags real gigs, and sends a proposal from your own rate card · automatically. Leave autopilot on, or review each one before it goes out. Clients sign with a link.

  • Automated inbox → proposal (autopilot, or review-first)
  • Proposals priced from your rate card, never invented
  • E-signatures and one-click proposal-to-invoice
Branded invoices and payments dashboard
Get paid

Branded invoices. Stripe checkout. Books that file themselves.

Send a branded invoice, take a deposit, and get paid by card. Every dollar is tracked, and an all-50-state tax set-aside builds your year-end package as you go.

  • Stripe checkout, deposits, and partial payments
  • Automatic all-50-state tax set-aside
  • A year-end package your CPA can file straight from
  • Hand the 40+ hours a year of tax-season grind to your CPA package
Command center analytics and calendar

The whole job, in one command center.

Client CRM, a crew roster with day rates, a calendar with iCal sync, storyboards, and live business telemetry · every shoot connected to its money.

  • Crew roster, day rates, and availability
  • Calendar with iCal sync + visual storyboards
Team workspace board with sprints and roles
Team workspace

When you grow, the app grows with you. Monday-style boards, sprints and epics · plus a real-time team room and a lead's-eye view of who's on what · with everything still tied to the shoot.

  • Board, table, calendar, and timeline views · with task dependencies
  • Sprints, epics, custom fields, automations, and 44 roles
  • Real-time team chat · per-board channels, @mentions, reactions
  • Team Pulse · leads see who's on what + live progress at a glance

AI · second opinion
✨ Drafted from your rate card
Parse email → shoot Draft proposal Notetaker Ops assistant
AI everywhere

A second opinion, never an autopilot.

AI parses emails into shoots, drafts proposals, turns a client call into clean notes and tasks, and answers ops questions · a second set of eyes on tap. It suggests · you decide. The call is always yours.

  • Email-to-shoot parsing and proposal drafting
  • Meeting notetaker · notes, decisions, tasks
  • Pricing only ever from your own rate card
