Ai for talent agencies: the short answer.
12² builds AI for actors that takes on the routine work: tracking auditions, bookings and availability, drafting submission emails from casting notices, and organizing headshots, reels and résumés by client. It runs inside the tools you already use. It never creates a performer's likeness or voice.
