what we're building

a suite of composable agents for creative businesses.

each agent handles a specific kind of operational work; together they compose into a system inside your team. the agents are interoperable: they snap together around your workflow, your tools, and the way your business actually runs.

the first step is an automated onboarding interview, itself one of the agents in the suite. it maps how your team actually works, then we compose the agents that fit and deploy them inside the tools you already use.

"Now the system handles the research and the lists. I spend my time on the parts clients actually hire me for: taste, culture, the eye. It's turned us into a casting atelier."

more detail

an independent casting agency in london, in paid pilot since march 2026. the casting workflow has run around five briefs and vetted about three thousand candidates, reclaiming 30+ hours a week for the senior team. the business is rapidly growing.

ai-supported human creative work can hold the same value as fully human creative work, as long as the human's input stays legible in the output.
why this matters

fully synthetic work flattens toward the average. that's fine when average is the goal. it's a brand problem for creative businesses, where clients pay for the thing the average can't produce.

aran is built around that distinction. each agent handles the operational work that doesn't need a human signature, and routes the judgment calls back to the people whose taste defines the output. the human's input stays legible. the work stays recognizably yours.

frequently asked

is this just another ai tool?
generic ai flattens work toward the average. aran is built so the agents handle operational work while your team's taste, voice, and judgment shape what ships.
who is the suite for?
creative businesses with senior people doing operational work that scales linearly with creative output. casting, music labels, design studios, content teams, talent reps. anywhere taste matters and coordination eats hours.
how does onboarding actually work?
an automated interview maps your team's workflow, taste, and language. that mapping decides which agents get deployed inside your existing tools, not adjacent to them. a few days of conversation, then deployment over a few weeks.
how do i get in?
