Micro-influencers · 1k–50k · agents do the rest
Don’t buy one influencer. Agents run a dozen.
Brands describe a campaign. Creators tap accept. Matching, briefs, captions, FTC checks, posting, and payouts run in a closed agent graph. Humans stay out unless a verifier fails.
Brand
One paragraph. A swarm.
Type what you want and a budget. Agents assemble 6–16 micros, write offers inside each rate band, and bring you one batch to approve.
Creator
Accept. Get paid.
Connect once. Offers arrive priced, with #ad already in. Post the live link. Get paid when it clears.
Why dozen
Sticky reach, not a celebrity shot.
One $8k macro is a spike. Twelve $90 micros in the same city is a rumor. The fee is 18% (15% on priority or $2.5k+).
The loop
Twelve nodes. Verifiers own the gates.
Intake, safety, assemble, offer, accept, draft, verify, revise, batch review, post, measure, pay. The model only writes.
