AI-powered agency board that runs your team

The Problem

Creative agencies juggle client deliverables across designers, developers, video editors, and account managers using fragmented tools that weren't built for agency workflows. Tracking briefs, managing approvals, enforcing role-based handoffs, and keeping AI costs under control across departments requires stitching together multiple platforms.

The Solution

The result is lost context, missed deadlines, and zero visibility into where work actually stands..
