The Complete Guide to GigLift

Sign Up & Onboarding

Create your free account at giglift.com. You'll be guided through a quick onboarding flow where you set up your brand profile:

• Your artist/DJ name and bio
• Genres and services you offer
• Your location and service radius
• Social media handles
• Upload a logo and brand photos

Selecting Your Mode

After onboarding, you'll land on the Dashboard. Use the Mode Switchin the top bar to select which type of opportunity you're looking for. Your mode determines what the AI agents search for, what seeds are available, and how outreach emails are worded.

GigLift adapts its entire AI pipeline based on which mode you select:

Every GigLift account comes with 8 specialized AI agents working behind the scenes:

Your central hub for managing inquiries, draft proposals, and bookings. It also shows your lead stats, scan quota, and quick actions.

Key Dashboard Elements

• Mode indicator — Shows your current mode (Performer, Instructor, Studio, Touring) with color-coded accent
• Stats bar — Total leads, scan quota remaining, upcoming events count, and email stats
• Event list / Calendar toggle — Switch between list view and calendar view of your bookings
• Quick-add modal — Click “+ New Inquiry” to manually add a booking directly from the dashboard
• Quick links — One-click access to scan, leads, EPK, social, and flyer tools

✨ Smart Pricing Proposals

When the Booking Agent drafts a proposal for a queued lead, it now utilizes our Smart Pricing Algorithm. Pricing tiers (Standard & Premium) automatically scale based on the event type (weddings/corporate cost more), estimated attendance (large crowds require more gear), and the client's stated budget.

Calendar View

Toggle to calendar view for a monthly overview of your bookings. Events are color-coded by status:

• Green — Confirmed
• Amber — Pending
• Blue — Completed
• Red — Cancelled

Your subscription includes a personal, voice-activated AI Manager available 24/7 on any device.

Tap-to-Talk

Tap the floating microphone button (🎤) in the bottom right corner of the app to wake your AI Manager. Tap it again when you're done speaking.

What Can the AI Manager Do?

• Review Leads: Ask "Read me my newest leads," and it will read the top matches to you while displaying a visual summary.
• Draft Contracts: Say "Draft an acceptance offer with a 20% deposit," and it will immediately prepare the contract for your approval.
• Check Schedule: Ask about your upcoming gigs, load-in times, or availability, and it will pull up your agenda.

Navigate to Scan for Leads from the dashboard. GigLift offers three scan methods:

1. Auto Scan (Recommended)

Select a region from your configured seeds and choose how many leads to find (5–50). The Lead Scout agent will automatically search multiple sources, score results, deduplicate, and deliver enriched leads — all in about 30 seconds.

2. Batch URL Scan

Paste a list of venue/school/studio URLs (one per line). GigLift will scrape each site, extract contact info, and create enriched lead records. Great for when you have a list from another source.

3. Single URL Scan

Scan a single website URL for lead extraction. Enter the URL, entity name, and location for the most precise results.

Seeds are pre-configured search templates that tell your AI agents where and what to look for. Navigate to Query Seeds from the dashboard.

How Seeds Work

• Each seed defines a region (city/state), search queries, and venue types
• Seeds change based on your active mode — performer seeds search for venues, instructor seeds search for schools
• The auto-scan feature uses your seeds to know which regions and queries to run
• You can create custom seeds for specific markets you want to target

The Leads page is your pipeline. Every lead discovered by the Lead Scout is organized here with quality scores, status tracking, and one-click actions.

Lead Statuses

• New — Freshly discovered, not yet reviewed
• Contacted — Outreach email sent
• Responded — Lead has replied
• Booked — Converted to a booking
• Rejected — Not a fit, dismissed

Lead Detail View

Click any lead to see full details: contact info, website, social links, AI quality score breakdown, enrichment data, and outreach history. From here you can:

• Generate a personalized outreach email with one click
• Queue the lead for the Booking Agent to generate a draft proposal and manage the booking
• Update the lead status
• View the venue on a map

✨ Automated Follow-Ups

If a lead has been in the “Contacted” stage for more than 3 days without a response, our scheduled Outreach Agent automatically drafts a polite follow-up email tailored to the venue. You will see 🔄 Follow-Up Ready to Send directly on the lead detail page. Just review, copy, and send!

Shareable URL

Your complete social media command center. Access it from Social in the nav.

Brand Profile

Set your DJ/artist name, genres, bio, logo, and brand colors. This profile feeds into all AI-generated content, ensuring consistent voice across outreach, social posts, and flyers.

Content Queue

The Social Strategist agent generates weekly content plans with ready-to-post items:

• Reels — Short-form video concepts with hooks and CTAs
• Carousels — Multi-slide educational/promo content
• Stories — Quick engagement posts and polls
• Feed Posts — Long-form captions with hashtag strategies

Each post includes a caption, suggested media, optimal posting time, and hashtags. Drafts appear in your Content Queue where you can click them to edit, append media from your library, approve, and push the draft to publish automatically to your connected platforms.

✨ Duplicate Content Prevention

GigLift's AI ensures every post is unique. When generating content plans, the system checks all previously used captions and media across your entire post history. No caption is ever repeated, and each image is only used once. This applies to both initial plan generation and when swapping media on individual posts.

Media Library

Upload and manage your brand assets: photos, logos, promo graphics, and flyers. These assets are available across the platform for EPK, social posts, and flyer creation.
