AI Agent

The Stormy AI Agent is an autonomous marketing employee that runs your influencer campaigns around the clock. It discovers creators, sends outreach, negotiates deals, tracks content, and manages payments — all without you manually doing each step. You set the strategy and guardrails, and the agent executes.

What the AI Agent Does

The agent handles the full lifecycle of an influencer marketing campaign:

Creator Discovery — Searches for creators matching your target criteria across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and other platforms
Outreach — Sends personalized emails to creators, introducing your brand and campaign
Follow-ups — Automatically follows up when creators don't respond, with appropriate timing and escalation
Negotiation — Handles rate discussions, deliverable scoping, and counter-offers within your configured budget
Conversation Management — Reads and responds to creator messages, keeping conversations moving forward
Post Tracking — Monitors when creators publish their content and logs performance metrics
Payment — Triggers payments through CreatorPay when deliverables are confirmed

Note

The agent doesn't replace your judgment on important decisions. It handles the repetitive, time-consuming work and escalates to you when human input is needed (unusual requests, above-budget negotiations, content quality reviews).

How It Differs from Automation

Traditional marketing automation follows rigid rules: "if X happens, do Y." The AI Agent is fundamentally different:

Aspect	Traditional Automation	Stormy AI Agent
Decision making	Predefined rules	Understands context and adapts
Communication	Templates with merge fields	Writes unique, contextual messages
Negotiation	Not possible	Handles rate discussions within budget
Error handling	Fails or follows fallback rule	Reasons about the situation and responds
Learning	Static rules	Improves from your corrections
Edge cases	Breaks or requires manual handling	Escalates when uncertain

The agent reads and understands messages the way a human marketer would. When a creator says "I'm interested but that rate is a bit low for my audience size," the agent doesn't pattern-match to a template — it evaluates the creator's metrics, your budget flexibility, and the conversation history to craft a thoughtful counter-offer.

Safety Guardrails

The AI Agent operates within strict boundaries you configure:

Budget Limits

Set maximum per-creator and per-campaign budgets. The agent will never commit to spending above these limits without your explicit approval.

Approval Requirements

Define which actions require your sign-off before the agent executes. By default, high-value negotiations and payments always require approval.

Communication Boundaries

The agent follows your brand voice guidelines and won't make promises or commitments outside what you've defined in your campaign briefs.

Escalation Rules

When the agent encounters something outside its configured authority, it creates an action item and waits for your input instead of guessing.

Warning

Always set budget limits before enabling the agent on a new campaign. The agent defaults to conservative behavior, but explicit limits ensure there are no surprises.

Getting Started with the Agent

Configure your agent — Set up personality, tone, working hours, and budget limits in Configuration
Enable tools — Choose which capabilities the agent can use in Tools & Skills
Set up a playbook — Use a pre-built workflow or create a custom one in Playbooks
Start a campaign — Assign the agent to a campaign and let it run
Monitor and adjust — Review the agent's actions, approve escalated items, and fine-tune settings as you learn what works

Tip

Start with a single small campaign to get comfortable with how the agent works. Review its actions closely for the first few days, then gradually expand its autonomy as you build confidence.

Agent Activity Feed

The agent logs every action it takes in a real-time activity feed. You can see:

Messages sent and received
Creators discovered and added to lists
Negotiations initiated and their outcomes
Action items created for your review
Payments triggered or queued for approval

This feed gives you full visibility into what the agent is doing without needing to check every individual conversation.
