AI agent for freelancers
Illustration Commission Tracking Agent
Commissions delivered on time and paid in full for the work done
What it does
Commission work slips when terms live in emails: extra revision rounds get done for free and usage creeps past what was paid for. When a commission is agreed, this agent records the brief, fee, deposit, usage rights, revision rounds and milestones such as sketch, color and final. It checks that the deposit has arrived before any work starts. If not, it drafts a friendly reminder and waits. At each milestone it drafts the delivery message, logs the client's feedback and counts revision rounds against the agreement. Requests beyond the agreed rounds or for wider usage get flagged with a quote draft instead of a quiet yes. Before closing, it checks that the final invoice matches the agreement plus any approved extras. The illustrator approves every message and invoice. Edge case: a client who wants editorial art on merchandise gets an extended license quote.
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.
