  • Frame-accurate annotation

Artificial Intelligence

AI that works for your production

Not generic AI — tools built specifically for the creative industry workflow, from script to analytics.

AI

Storyboard Generation

Upload a script — AI parses scenes, generates panel descriptions, and creates images maintaining consistent visual style across all panels.

  • Script scene parsing
  • Consistent style seed across panels
  • Shot type, camera angle, mood per panel
  • Batch generation with progress tracking
AI

Content Analysis

Deep AI analysis of your video content: find any moment by phrase, visual element, brand color, or object.

  • Search by spoken phrase in video
  • Visual search by color and brand
  • Object and scene detection
  • YouTube chapters auto-generation
AI

Generate YouTube-optimized thumbnails, chapter timestamps, and descriptions directly from your video content.

  • AI thumbnail generation
  • Auto chapter timestamps
  • Description & tags optimization
  • A/B thumbnail variants
AI

Transcription & Summary

Automatic transcription of video and audio. AI converts raw comments into structured, human-readable summaries for clients.

  • Multi-language transcription
  • Comment thread summarization
  • "Human language" client digests
  • Full text search in transcripts

Client Portals

Hand off projects without
handing over Slack.

A branded space your client opens from a single link. They review, comment, and approve — no signup, no friction. You stay in control of what's visible and what they can do.

  • No-account guest access

    Clients open a link and they're in. Just a name (and optional email for notifications). Zero signup friction.

  • Permission-scoped links

    Mint multiple links per portal: view-only for execs, comment + approve for PMs, upload-capable for feedback. One portal, many roles.

  • Fully branded

    Your logo, colors, fonts. No "Powered by" footer on Pro+. Custom domain (portal.acme.com) on Business — feels like the client's own tool.

  • Approvals built-in

    Client clicks Approve or Request Changes at the stage level. You get real-time alerts and a full audit trail of every action.

  • Stage-level visibility control

    Hide internal planning, drafts, and timelines. Clients see only what you mark visible — they don't even know the rest exists.

  • Passwords, expiry, revoke

    Lock sensitive portals behind a password. Set link expiry (7 days, 30 days, never). Revoke instantly if a link leaks.

Team Intelligence

Know who excels
at what.

Multi-dimensional performance scoring across executor, reviewer, and reliability axes. AI recommends the right person for every stage based on real history — not gut feel.

  • Three-axis scoring

    Executor score (speed, first-try approval, deadline adherence) + Reviewer score (thoroughness, response time, balance) + Reliability — combined into one Overall Score 0-100.

  • AI stage recommendations

    When you assign someone to a stage, AI suggests "Best choice" + "Alternative" with concrete reasons: success rate, deadline patterns, content specialization, recent revision count.

  • 12-week trend lines

    Score movement per member over time. Catch regression before it impacts a project. See who's getting better, who needs support.

  • Project-relative speed

    Response times scored against the project's own average — not a fixed threshold. Faster than your team's norm = higher score, regardless of industry.

  • Auto-refreshed every 6 hours

    Background job recalculates all metrics from raw activity logs. No manual surveys, no quarterly reviews — always current.

  • Export-ready

    One-click CSV of the entire ranking — for budgeting decisions, incentives, or rebalancing workload across the team.

FAQ

Common questions

What does beta tester mean exactly?
You get full Pro access free for 3 months, personal onboarding, and direct communication with the founding team. In return we ask for regular honest feedback, bug reports, and a short testimonial at the end. This is a real partnership — not a marketing trial.
Do my clients need to create an account?
No. You share a secure link — client opens it in any browser and can view content, leave timestamped comments, and approve stages without registration. This is one of our most praised features.
What content types can I review in Stago?
Video (with timestamp comments), images (per-image annotation), audio tracks (individual track approval), documents and scripts (text-anchored comments). Each content type has its own optimized review tool.
Is my data safe during beta?
Yes. Stago runs on a production-grade Rails backend with encrypted credentials, role-based access control, and daily backups. That said — beta software may have rough edges. We recommend starting with non-critical projects first.
What happens after the 3-month beta period?
Your data stays intact. You'll receive an offer to continue on a paid plan — beta testers get a permanent 20% loyalty discount. No commitment required, and you can export all your data at any time.
Can I use Stago for non-video productions?
Absolutely. Stago stages can be anything: script writing, photography shoots, podcast production, brand campaigns, music projects. The workflow system is flexible — you define what each stage is and what gets produced in it.
