Draw the work. Let AI handle the commission admin.
Commission intake, licensing terms, delivery and payment handled, so the sketchbook gets your best hours.
Where the hours actually go.
Commission briefs are vague
Clients describe feelings, not specs. Extracting size, usage, deadline and style references takes a chain of messages before work can start.
Licensing terms get muddled
Usage rights, exclusivity and duration agreed verbally, then disputed when the artwork shows up somewhere unexpected.
Payment follows the artwork badly
Delivering finals before payment is a gamble; invoicing after delivery means chasing. Neither feels good.
Marketing yourself is a second job
Posting process work, updating the portfolio and answering how-do-I-commission messages eats into actual drawing time.
Your toolkit inside kiap.ai
Live today inside the super app, or being built on the same API. Everything AI drafts, you approve.
Commission intake
A structured form captures usage, size, deadline, style references and budget upfront, so commissions start with a real brief.
Licensing term drafts
Drafts clear usage terms per commission: scope, duration, exclusivity, so rights are written down before the work begins.
Milestone invoicing
Deposit to start, balance before final files. Payment is part of the process, not a chase after it.
Client and rights records
Every commission's terms, usage rights and renewal dates on file, so you know who can use what, where.
Portfolio and commission page
Your work presented properly with a commission enquiry path, so clients find you and brief you correctly.
Enquiry triage
How-do-I-commission questions get your process and starting rates instantly, filtering serious enquiries from window shoppers.
A day with AI doing the busywork.
A book cover commission came through the intake form overnight: specs, deadline, usage, budget. Terms drafted and sent for agreement.
Sketching. The deposit for yesterday's commission cleared automatically.
Final artwork delivered to the client portal with the usage licence attached. Balance invoice releases.
Post process work. A new enquiry asks about editorial rates and gets your commission page instantly.
Questions illustrators actually ask.
Will AI replace illustrators?
No. Commissioned art is bought for a specific human's hand and eye. What AI removes is the business friction: briefs, licensing terms, invoicing and enquiry handling.
Does it generate art?
No. The platform runs the business side of your practice. The drawing stays entirely yours.
How do licensing terms work?
The AI drafts clear usage terms per commission from your standard conditions, which you review before sending. Rights get written down before work starts, not argued after.
Can I take partial payment upfront?
Yes. Deposit-before-start and balance-before-delivery are built into the invoicing flow, which is how professional commissions should run.
What does it cost for a freelance illustrator?
The standard plan covers the toolkit. One commission that does not end in a payment dispute pays for it.
