Now in private beta · Built for agencies

The operating system for agencies and their clients.

Not a project management tool. Not a chatbot. Not a smarter intranet.

The AI-native engine everything runs on — inside the firm and out. Brain and Heart. Intelligence and relationship. The infrastructure agencies run on, not software they happen to use.

Ask Empatine about your agency…
The problem

Everyone in the industry knows exactly what it is.

Agencies are built on human knowledge, human relationships, and human judgment. But the systems they run on were never built to capture, scale, or augment any of those things.

The Creative Director

I didn't get into this to police brand guidelines.

The Strategist

I know we solved this before. I just can't find it.

The Project Manager

I spend more time reporting on work than doing it.

The Client

I just need a quick answer. Why does it take four days?

The Agency CEO

We keep growing. So why does it feel like we're falling behind?

Brain & Heart

Every agency needs a Brain. But without a Heart, it's just a smarter intranet.

Empatine captures both — the institutional intelligence of how your firm thinks, and the human intelligence of how your clients actually work.

🧠
Brain

Processes, templates, case studies, how you do things. Institutional memory made searchable — trained on Slack, briefs, call notes, every decision ever made. Retrieval that works the way your firm thinks.

  • Every strategist walks into a client meeting with the full history — automatically surfaced, never searched for
  • Juniors think like seniors from day one. Seniors stop doing work that shouldn't need them
  • Knowledge compounds over time. The longer you run on Empatine, the harder you are to replace
  • Per-client RAG models trained on your real history, your real voice, your real patterns
🤍
Heart

Relationships, instincts, judgment, client quirks. The why behind every decision. Who pushed for what. What the CMO actually approves. The soul of the firm — captured, not lost when someone leaves on a Tuesday afternoon.

  • New team members instantly know the client as well as someone who's worked with them for years
  • Strategic heuristics, approval dynamics, and stakeholder personalities — all queryable by AI agents
  • Continuity becomes a product. Client relationships survive team changes
  • The relationship data no new agency could replicate from a standing start
Intelligence Stack

One system of truth.
Every discipline. Every surface.
Every AI agent.

The same strategy, the same brand, the same campaign thinking — expressed correctly whether the output is a TV commercial, a React component, a banner ad, a radio spot, or an AI-generated asset. Consistency across every medium isn't a process. It's architecture.

🤖AI Agents
A strategist, a writer, an art director, a developer, and an AI coding agent all work from the same source of truth.
When the brand brief, client history, and creative direction all live in the same intelligence layer, your AI tools stop hallucinating and start performing. This is what it means to be AI-native — not bolting on a chatbot, but redesigning how knowledge flows through your entire operation.
How it works

Capture. Learn. Augment. Deliver.

Empatine ingests the way your firm already works. No new behaviour required from anyone.

1
Capture

Slack conversations, briefs, call notes, client feedback — ingested automatically from the tools your team already uses. Nothing changes about how you work today.

2
Learn

Per-client RAG models trained on real history. design.md files that know the brand exactly. An AI layer that reasons the way your firm does — not some generic model.

3
Augment

Every person operates at a higher level. Strategists with perfect memory. Creatives freed from brand policing. Juniors thinking like seniors. The 60% that's automatable stops requiring human attention.

4
Deliver

Clients self-serve the routine 60%. Creatives focus on the 40% that genuinely needs them. The firm scales without adding headcount. Revenue grows. Margin finally grows with it.

Who it's for

Built for the people who hold everything together

Empatine is for the professionals inside agencies who carry more context than any system has ever been willing to hold for them.

The Creative Director

I didn't get into this to police brand guidelines.

She's one of the best in the business. But today, like most days, she spent two hours checking whether someone used the right typeface weight in a client deck. The brief that needed her thinking is still waiting.

CD
Creative DirectorMid-size integrated agency
The Strategist

I know we solved this before. I just can't find it.

Three years of thinking. Hundreds of client engagements. Brilliant decisions and hard-won insights — scattered across Slack threads, shared drives, and the heads of people who left last year.

ST
Head of StrategyConsultancy, 80 people
The Project Manager

I spend more time reporting on work than doing it.

Status updates. Chase emails. Manual reports assembled every Friday from five different tools that don't talk to each other. 62% of their time goes to work like this. Not the work clients pay for.

PM
Senior Project ManagerCreative agency, 50 people
The Agency CEO

We keep growing. So why does it feel like we're falling behind?

Revenue is up. The team is bigger than ever. Somehow margins are thinner, the work takes longer, and the best people are burning out. Growth is supposed to feel like winning. This doesn't.

The File Stack

Six files. Every project. The client never sees them. They feel everything they do.

Every project in Empatine is structured around a stack of plain markdown files. They inherit from each other, update automatically, and feed every AI agent working on that client — from your strategists to your coding tools.

empatine.md — The relationship meta-layer
How this client works, who matters, how decisions get made. Who pushes for what. What the CMO actually approves. The Heart, operational.
design.md — Living brand specifications
Brand look, voice, tone, colour — queryable by any discipline, any tool, any AI agent. Every output starts from a position of correctness, not approximation.
strategy.md — The upstream source of truth
Objectives, audience, positioning. The most upstream file — the why behind everything. All other files inherit from it. All agents query it first.

The Platform

Six modules. One operating system.

Not tools you happen to use. The infrastructure your entire agency runs on.

🧠
Agency Brain

Slack ingestion, knowledge RAG, institutional memory — searchable context across the entire firm. Every strategist walks in prepared. Nothing gets lost when someone leaves.

🤍
Agency Heart

Client relationship data, decision history, tone and preference modelling. The soul of the firm — captured, not lost. New people know the client from day one.

🔗
Client Portal

Self-service for clients — briefs, approvals, asset delivery, project status, AI first response. 60% of requests handled entirely by the client's trained model. Human judgment reserved for what needs it.

📄
design.md

Living brand specifications. Queryable by every discipline, every tool, every AI agent. Every output starts from a position of correctness, not approximation.

📊
Agency Dashboard

Projects, resources, financials, pipeline — the internal layer that ties everything together. Automatic timesheets. Reports that write themselves. The work around the work, automated.

🚀
Growth Engine

Productised service tiers. New revenue streams that scale without adding headcount. Growth finally multiplies instead of adding. The Shopify parallel — but for agencies.

Let's talk

You keep the relationships. We give you everything else.

Empatine is in private beta. We're onboarding agencies that are serious about becoming platforms — not just using better tools.
