Notion AI inside
Let Notion AI handle the rights admin
Publishing & Rights OS is built for Notion AI — create your own agents on top of your catalog, splits and royalty data, and handle the paperwork side of publishing with plain-language prompts.
Archivist
Catalog
Every composition with its metadata, ownership and status — ask agents to audit, summarise and keep the whole catalog registration-ready.
Example prompts
- “List compositions missing ISWC codes or registration status”
- “Summarise everything we control for this writer”
- “Build a metadata sheet for this batch of new songs”
Registrar
Publishing
Splits, registrations and licensing in one place — agents run the checks that keep rights clean and royalties flowing.
Example prompts
- “Flag songs with incomplete splits before this release goes out”
- “Summarise this sync request against our standard licensing terms”
- “Draft a split confirmation email for the writers on this track”
Liaison
Writers
Your writer roster with profiles, deals and performance — agents answer roster questions straight from the data you already keep.
Example prompts
- “Summarise this writer's catalog and recent activity for a renewal conversation”
- “List writers whose deals are up for renewal this year”
- “Draft a quarterly update email for this writer from their catalog activity”
Administrator
Clients
Administration clients and partners, organised — agents prep the reports and keep every relationship serviced on schedule.
Example prompts
- “Draft the quarterly administration report for this client”
- “Summarise open items across all client catalogs”
- “Prepare an onboarding checklist for this new client catalog”
Accountant
Finances
Royalties, advances and expenses tracked across writers and clients — ask for the numbers in plain language instead of exporting spreadsheets.
Example prompts
- “Total this quarter's mechanical royalties by writer”
- “Flag unrecouped advances across the roster”
- “Compare royalty income this year against last”

The creator
Meet the creator.
I'm Thorne Davis, a fiercely independent musician and producer with over a decade of experience crafting my own path in the music industry. As a drummer, producer and designer behind TORA, I've spent the last 10 years building a sustainable music career completely outside the traditional system.
My journey as an independent artist taught me that success isn't just about the music — it's about mastering the entire ecosystem of being a modern musician. After producing over 100+ Notion & Figma templates and developing comprehensive systems for other artists, I've distilled my experience into these operating systems.
This isn't just another productivity tool. It's the culmination of years spent in the trenches of independent music, enhanced by deep dives into frameworks like the PARA Method (Tiago Forte), The Creative Act (Rick Rubin), and The Artist's Way (Julia Cameron). I've taken the best of each system and adapted them specifically for musicians who want to thrive on their own terms.
