AI agents for
creative professionals.
Focused iOS products that do the work between the tools — for actors, streamers, and the creators whose craft has been underserved by generic AI.
Why now
Multimodal models crossed the threshold where they can read a scene, watch a performance, or plan a workflow — not just answer a chat. The tools serving actors, streamers, and creators haven't caught up. They're still databases and forms. Riptide ships the agents.
The opportunity
Actors alone: 160,000+ working in the U.S., 1.2M+ globally. Adjacent creative professionals: streamers, voice actors, comedians, models — millions paying for craft tools they hate. Incumbents charge subscriptions for spreadsheet UIs. The wedge is agents that do the work between the tools.
The portfolio
Six products. One thesis.
Agents for people whose work is a craft.
