Where do my virtual Scouts look for talent?

Everywhere. Our bots scan millions of sites and public APIs, from popular fan communities such as Reddit, Genius and TikTok to streaming platforms like YouTube, SoundCloud and Spotify.

We also have HuggyBear, our massively parallel influencer miner, that is every second of the day uncovering new unsigned talent for you to discover. HuggyBear is our eyes and ears on the street.

Are Virtual Scouts real?

Your Virtual Scouts are software bots that run in the cloud. Our platform manages swarms of intelligent little bots that continuously identify artists and influencers, growing and filtering our vast music data-lake, recording career events, deep-learning relationships, and determining career trajectory.

Who is using your service?

We have labels, artist managers, music publishers, A&R researchers, bloggers and a handful of artists using our service. We also use it ourselves as it’s a great way to get banging playlists and discover hot new tunes.

I already use an analytics dashboard, why do I need RAD/AR?

Virtual Scouts work alongside analytics dashboards in a complementary way. Unlike dashboards, your Scouts are free to roam the net and not constrained by a limited set of data sources. Virtual Scouts utilise left-field discovery techniques and robotic process automation, enabling you to Scout wider, deeper and faster than ever before.

Is your trial free?

Yes, it is. You get several free days, no credit card required. Once you are up and running, we then invite you into a trial. We then ask you for your card details, but you can cancel any time before the trial ends; you can also cancel later. No hard feelings.

If I take up a daily plan, can I come back after I pause my subscription?

Yes, some users set aside 1 or 2 days a week to do their A&R research and identify prospects. So if that sounds like you, you can opt for a daily plan and pause it week by week. We will keep your Scouts active for 30 days so you can come back and resume your Scouts on the days or weeks you are ready. Note that once your daily subscription is paused, we no longer update your playlists, so you will need to subscribe again to see any new discoveries your Scouts have turned up.

Can I get training and support?

We strive to make the platform as intuitive and straightforward to use as possible. You will find help in the app, and we also provide customers with orientation and workshops.

Do you share my data?

No. That’s not how we roll. Your data, Scouts, Watched artists are secure, and we do not share your data with anyone. For more information, please visit our privacy policy.
