AI agent for film composers
Royalty Statement Check Agent
Every royalty owed is collected and every work registered correctly
What it does
Musicians and composers lose income when a placement is registered wrong or a statement leaves something out, and statements are hard to read. When statements arrive from distributors, performing rights organizations or publishers, this agent reads them and matches income to each work. It compares income with what is expected: known releases, broadcasts, film and TV placements from cue sheets, and agreed splits. It checks every work is registered with the right splits. Gaps, such as a TV placement with no performance income after the usual delay, are listed with evidence. It drafts claims or registration fixes. The musician approves any claim or change. Edge case: income that is late only because of the normal reporting lag is not flagged until the lag has passed.
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.
