AI agent for vocal artists
Cover and Sync License Request Agent
A release that only goes live with the license in place
What it does
Covers and video uses go live without the right licenses. This agent identifies the song and how it will be used, such as an audio cover, a video on social media or a film sync. It finds the right license route: a mechanical license through a distributor or a clearance service for audio covers, and a direct sync request to the publisher and label for video. It drafts the request or fills in the distributor form. It tracks approvals and costs, and checks the release date against the license status. If approval is missing, it proposes delaying the release or changing the use. The artist approves requests and payments. Edge case: a cover with changed lyrics is treated as a derivative that needs the publisher's permission.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
