UPLO Media

The media industry runs on rights, deadlines, and relationships — and the documentation behind all three is scattered across deal memos, distribution agreements, production bibles, ratings reports, and talent contracts. This skill gives your AI assistant structured access to that knowledge so you can answer questions about content rights windows, production budgets, talent availability, and audience performance without hunting through file shares.

When to Use

• - Checking whether your distribution rights for a title cover SVOD in Southeast Asia or only linear broadcast
• Finding the talent hold dates and options for a recurring cast member before greenlighting Season 3
• Pulling audience retention curves and completion rates for a series to inform renewal decisions
• Locating the music licensing terms for a track used in Episode 4 before you can clear international distribution
• Reviewing production insurance certificates and bond requirements for an upcoming shoot
• Comparing CPMs and fill rates across ad-supported content in your portfolio
• Answering "which titles in our library have rights expiring in the next 6 months?"

Session Start

Orient yourself by loading your identity context and checking what content priorities leadership has set — slate decisions, acquisition targets, and distribution strategy all flow from directives.

Example Workflows

Rights Availability Check for International Sales

Your distribution team received an inquiry from a European broadcaster about licensing a title.

CODEBLOCK1

The context search connects the title's rights chain — original production agreement, domestic distribution deal, and any existing international licenses — so you can see exactly what's available and what's encumbered.

Production Budget Reconciliation

You're closing out a production and need to reconcile actuals against the approved budget.

CODEBLOCK2

Pull the structured budget data alongside vendor payment records. The org context shows which production executives and line producers own the sign-off chain.

Key Tools for Media

searchwithcontext — Essential for rights management. A single title has interconnected agreements (production, domestic, international, music, talent) and you need to see how they relate. Example: INLINECODE0

search_knowledge — Fast lookup across your content library metadata, production records, and audience data. Example: INLINECODE1

get_directives — Surfaces the creative and business strategy that should inform content decisions: genre priorities, budget envelopes, platform strategy, and audience targets. Critical context before recommending acquisitions or renewals.

propose_update — When deal terms change (renegotiated license fee, extended rights window, revised delivery date), propose the update so the structured record stays current. Example: update the avail date for LATAM territories after a holdback extension.

reportknowledgegap — Flag missing documentation before it becomes a problem. No signed chain-of-title for a library title? No E&O insurance certificate for an acquisition? Report it now.

Example Queries That Work Well

Rather than generic searches, use the terminology your deals and production teams actually use:

• - INLINECODE2
• INLINECODE3
• INLINECODE4
• INLINECODE5
• INLINECODE6

Tips

• - Rights data is time-sensitive. Always check the valid_through or expiration fields in results — a rights window that expired last month will still appear in search but shouldn't inform a sales pitch.
• Use log_conversation after any rights negotiation discussion. Media deals involve many informal agreements that eventually need to be papered, and having a searchable log prevents "I thought we agreed to..." disputes.
• When searching for audience data, include the measurement source (Nielsen, platform analytics, Comscore) since the same title can have very different numbers depending on methodology.
• Production documents use inconsistent naming. Search by project code name AND official title — many productions change names between development and release.
