An assistant for artist managers.
Connect Patchbay to your own Claude and ask it about the roster — what is outstanding on a release, which client has a gap — and get an answer from your actual records rather than a guess.
Stop opening five tabs to answer one question.
The releases, the deals and the catalog are one set of related records. So "what still needs doing before Friday" is a question something can answer, instead of a morning.
What artist managers actually ask it
“What is still open on the releases going out in the next three weeks, and who owns each one?”
“Which of my clients has a song with no writer attached?”
“Which deals have we signed this year that have never been invoiced against?”
“Who is on this client’s workspace, and at what level?”
Each of those is answered from your own records, in your own AI client, without anyone exporting anything.
How it works
You connect Patchbay to Claude once — as a connector in the Claude app, or in Claude Code. From then on it can work in your workspace when you ask it to, authenticating as you.
There is no separate place to log into and nothing new to learn. The assistant is whichever AI client you already have open; Patchbay is what gives it something true to work from.
What it can do, and the limit that actually matters
It can change things, and that is the point. Create a deal, raise an invoice, add a writer, start a split sheet and send it. A connection that could only read would leave you doing the typing anyway, which is the part worth removing.
It acts as you. Not as a service account with its own keys — as your own login, with your permissions and your refusals. It reaches exactly as far into a client workspace as you do, and everything it does is attributed to you in the record rather than to “the integration”.
It does not decide what you are paid to decide. Whether to take the deal, what to charge, whether a split is fair. It does the work between those decisions. The decisions stay yours.
Why this is different from asking an AI about music
A general assistant can tell you what a mechanical royalty is. It cannot tell you that the release on the 14th is missing artwork approval, because it has never seen your release.
A manager’s day is almost entirely the second kind of question. The value is not the model knowing about the music business — it is the model being able to see your side of it.
What happens without anyone asking
Contracts. Drop the agreement in and the terms come out — rates, term, what they apply to — rather than being transcribed into fields by hand.
Split information that arrives as an email. Writers, societies and identifiers are pulled out of what was sent, instead of read once and typed in again.
The gaps. A song with no writer, a deal never invoiced, a release missing something it needs — listed for you to act on rather than found by looking.
None of that is something you would think to ask for, which is the point of it running on its own. It happens whether or not anyone ever connects an AI client.
Common questions
Which AI clients does this work with?
Claude — both the desktop and web app as a connector, and Claude Code. Those are the clients the connection was built and tested against, and the ones teams are actually using it from today. We are not going to claim clients nobody has run it against.
Can it actually change things, or only look them up?
It can change things. Creating a deal, raising an invoice, adding a writer, starting a split sheet and sending it all work from your AI client. Reading alone would leave the typing with you, which is the part worth removing.
What stops it doing something I did not want?
It runs as you rather than as its own service account, so it inherits your permissions and your refusals — it cannot reach a client workspace you are not a member of — and every action it takes is recorded against you rather than against an integration. You see what happened and who it was for.
Is this a chatbot bolted onto our data?
It is the opposite arrangement. Your own AI client does the talking; Patchbay supplies the records, structured, with the deal, the invoice and the works already related to each other. That is why the answers are about your catalog rather than about music in general.
