AI agent for actors
Self-Tape Slate and Submission Agent
A correct self-tape upload that plays and arrives before the deadline
What it does
Self-tape files are named wrongly, uploaded to the wrong platform or sent after the deadline. This agent takes each request and reads the format and slate rules: file name, length, size, resolution and slate wording. It renames and exports the files, uploads them to a draft on the platform and verifies that the upload plays with sound. It tracks the deadline and reminds the actor before it. If the platform rejects the file, it re-exports with different settings and uploads again. The actor approves each submission. Edge case: a request in a different time zone gets its deadline converted and shown in the actor's local time.
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.

How it decides
A file is ready when name, length, size, resolution and slate match the request. A submission is sent only after a draft upload plays correctly.
- Name files exactly as the request says
- Keep file size under the platform limit
- Submit only after a successful playback test
- Remind the actor 3 hours before the deadline
