Why Recoup?
Generic AI doesn't understand music. Agencies are slow and expensive. Recoup is purpose-built music intelligence — agents that know your artists, your data, and your industry.

But can't I just use ChatGPT?
ChatGPT can write a marketing plan. Recoup writes one informed by your artist's actual streaming data, audience demographics, playlist history, and competitive landscape.
No access to streaming analytics (Spotify, Apple Music, Chartmetric)
No playlist intelligence or placement tracking
No artist context — brand voice, catalog history, audience segments
No automated workflows — can't schedule reports or content pipelines
No music industry data models — catalog valuation, royalty estimation
No plugin ecosystem — can't extend with music-specific tools
Generic AI is a blank canvas. Recoup is a music business that already knows your artists.
