The AI venue intake system that turns scattered, last-minute client information into a complete, on-time advance, so production managers can plan the show instead of chasing people.
Every show starts with the same problem: getting complete, accurate information from clients in time. Production managers chase promoters and artists for weeks, book contractual labor about a week out, and still absorb last-minute changes that are expensive to undo. The information is scattered across emails, riders, and spreadsheets, and the expertise to ask the right questions lives mostly in one person's head.
Stage Intelligence sits between a venue's clients and its production office. A client describes their show in plain language, the system asks the expert follow-up questions a seasoned production manager would ask, reconciles the answers against what the venue actually owns and allows, and produces one clean, structured advance document. It supports the production manager and frees their attention for judgment and relationships; it does not replace the trust and human interaction at the core of the job.
Professional performance venues, presenting theaters, and production rental houses. The buyer and daily user is the production manager or technical director. The artists, promoters, and tour managers they work with use the other side of the same system.
Our original goal, AI lighting design, turns plain-language cue descriptions into console-ready files so a show can be programmed without a dedicated programmer. Venue conversations pointed first to the information problem, so the intake system is the focus today, with lighting and a fuller stage operating system as later layers. We write about what we learn along the way in our Stories.
We are early and working directly with venues. If you run a venue or production office and this sounds familiar, write to hello@stage-intelligence.com.
