What's new in TalentM.
Every feature, improvement and compliance update — documented. TalentM ships fast and ships transparently.
Service Marketplace, Inventory & Product Keys
A managed service marketplace, a real inventory system for physical stock and digital keys, and gifting that reconciles itself.
- Service marketplace — clients and roster creators order provider packages; every order rides the same offer spine and completes into a draft invoice plus a creator settlement with the commission split
- Inventory for physical stock (an append-only Received/Shipped/Returned movement ledger) and digital product keys (Available → Assigned → Redeemed → Reported)
- Embargo / street-date tracking with a three-day reminder to the item’s custodian, and a per-item custodian role beyond Owner/Admin/Manager
- Gifting reconciliation — a seeding order auto-posts a shipped stock movement and can require an unboxing by a deadline
- Creators redeem and self-report a key placement (the live post URL) from their own portal
Travel, Expenses & Team Operations
Plan international trips, reimburse expenses with receipts, and manage leave balances — for talent and staff alike, without spreadsheets.
- Travel & trip management for talent and staff — participants, flights, hotels and meetings on one itinerary that mirrors your calendar
- Client-payer trip costs bill straight to the campaign; agency-paid costs flow into expense reimbursement
- Expense reports with receipts (staff and creators), manager approval and reimbursement, plus one-click import of a trip’s agency-paid costs
- Leave balances with carry-over and a conflict-guard that warns before an approved holiday clashes with a booking or a trip
- A shared public-holiday feed that automatically reduces team capacity, and a booking-page availability engine shared across trips, deals and time-off
App-Wide Responsive & Accessibility Polish
A full pass over every screen for mobile/tablet layout, disabled-state clarity and keyboard accessibility.
- Every list and table now scrolls cleanly on any screen size — no more sideways page scrolling
- Disabled buttons now look and behave disabled everywhere, with an inline reason instead of a silent no-op
- Confirmation dialogs for every destructive action, consistently, across the whole app
- Keyboard-accessible drag-and-drop on boards and calendars
- Deeper cross-linking between related records (contracts, invoices, portal grants) so nothing is a dead end
Digital Asset Library, Wiki & Help Center
A real asset library with usage-rights tracking, a deeper team wiki, and a fully-populated in-app + public Help Center.
- Digital asset library with usage-rights tracking and version history
- Wiki playbooks (reusable onboarding/offboarding/campaign templates) and per-page read/edit permissions
- Object-bound wiki pages — pin a playbook directly to a deal, creator or campaign
- 174-article in-app and public Help Center (/docs), fully bilingual, cross-linked and searchable
AI Agents, Automation & Smart Scheduling
AI drafts inbox replies and content-proof reviews, and a nightly scheduler keeps every time-sensitive workflow moving on its own.
- AI inbound-reply agent — drafts a reply or escalates to a human, always reviewed before sending
- AI proof-of-post vision check — verifies a submitted deliverable screenshot against the brief
- AI campaign planner grounded in budget, roster reach and rate cards
- Nightly scheduler runs every overdue/reminder/escalation scan automatically — nothing needs a page load to fire anymore
- Semantic search (RAG) grounds the AI assistant in your own deals, creators and campaigns, not just the wiki
Custom Roles, Complaints & Full Portal Parity
Fully custom permission roles, a formal complaint/escalation flow, and the creator and client portals reach feature parity.
- Custom roles with per-module and per-record permissions — beyond the fixed Owner/Admin/Manager/Finance/Member set
- Formal complaint intake and resolution flow for clients and creators, with a dedicated escalation queue
- In-portal inbox — clients and creators can message the agency directly from their portal, not just email
- Client/creator relationship view — contracts, invoices and settlements the portal principal is actually party to
- Creator Cockpit reaches full parity with the Client Portal (news, messages, contracts, requests)
Agency Micro-Sites, Themes & White-Label Domains
A drag-and-drop multi-page site builder, a real agency blog, and routing your own domain to your TalentM public page.
- Third-generation public-site themes with a richer media pipeline for galleries and hero imagery
- Full agency blog (not just the platform blog) with its own SEO metadata
- Multi-page site builder with a navigation editor — an agency public site is no longer a single page
- White-label custom-domain routing (own domain → the same public-site render path)
Self-Booking, Negotiation & Follow-Up Automation
Brands can book a published rate card directly, offers gained a negotiation thread, and nothing falls through the cracks anymore.
- Public self-booking pages — a brand picks a package from a published catalog and an offer is created automatically, no manual quote needed
- Offer negotiation thread with AI-assisted counter-offer analysis and reply drafts
- One-click follow-up presets on deals, contacts, accounts and creators, with automatic reminders
- Outreach cadences — multi-step sequences that remind the right person at the right time
