AI Co-Founder: Autonomous Studio Agent

The Cora AI Co-Founder is a persistent, context-aware autonomous agent designed to act as your studio's chief operating officer. It handles inbound lead qualification, drafts custom commercial proposals, calculates production budgets, and triages daily operational bottlenecks.

1. Agent Capabilities

• Automatic Scope Generation: Ingests unstructured client emails and audio voice notes to output structured production scopes.
• Budget & Rate Card Math: Calculates crew day rates, equipment rental line items, and 18% GST margins.
• Conflict Resolution: Identifies crew availability overlaps and recommends alternate shooting dates.
• Contract Drafting: Automatically populates standard Indian IT Act 2000 service agreements with client details.

2. WhatsApp-Style Founder Triage

The AI Co-Founder features a WhatsApp-style conversational chat interface:

• Short-Bubble Responses: Answers are constrained to 2–3 punchy sentences per message for rapid founder decision-making on mobile.
• RCS Checklist Cards: Action items (e.g. *"Approve ₹85,000 quote for Lookbook shoot"*) are rendered as interactive action cards with one-tap approval buttons.
• Zero Hallucination: Strict fallback to your studio's configured rate cards and RAG memory knowledge base.

3. Token Quotas & AI Credit Tracking (v4.9.364)

AI execution is tracked per session with a real-time progress meter and anti-burnout weekly pacing:

• Free / Starter Tier: 500 monthly AI runs (weekly pacing: 125 runs/week).
• Pro Tier: 15,000 monthly AI runs (weekly soft limit: 3,750 runs/week).
• Scale Tier: 25,000 monthly AI runs (weekly soft limit: 6,250 runs/week).
• Studio Enterprise: Unlimited custom model context runs with dedicated compute instances.

Fair Usage Anti-Burnout Pacing & Admin Bypass

• Weekly Soft-Throttling: Pacing alerts calculate ceil(monthly_quota / 4) to advise agency teams before exhausting monthly token pools early in billing cycles.
• Super Admin Unrestricted Access: Platform Super Admins and users with manage_options bypass all rate limits, AI run caps, and artificial session timeouts.
• Ledger Synchronization: Usage counters sync in real-time between local browser storage, the sticky admin popover, and the backend MySQL accounting ledger.

4. Gemini 3.5 & Claude Sonnet Backends

You can switch the underlying reasoning engine in the sticky administrator popover:

• Gemini 3.5 Flash: Optimized for sub-second speed, audio transcription, and image analysis.
• Claude 3.5 Sonnet: Optimized for complex multi-party commercial contracts and long-form narrative scriptwriting.

5. Public Conversational AI SDR & Conversion Engine (Oct 2026)

On the public web surface, the AI Co-Founder also powers the bottom-docked sticky AI SDR assistant:

• Portaled Viewport Docking: Rendered directly via createPortal into document.body, maintaining true viewport bottom centering with zero background overlay interference.
• Real-Time Objection Handling: Automatically counters platform comparison queries (HoneyBook, Notion, legacy multi-plugin stacks) and explains migration procedures.
• Automated Coupon Generation: Surfaces dynamic promotion incentives (MIGRATEFREE, CORA10) that auto-populate into checkout query parameters upon selection.
