+title: "How It Works"
+description: "Agents, sandboxes, context, and the architecture behind Recoup."
+---
+
+General-purpose AI tools don't know the artist, the catalog, the audience, or the history. Recoup does. You give it artist context — songs, brand voice, audience data, release history — and it deploys agents that run operations using that context. That's the edge: every feature is so context-aware that you'd never go back to ChatGPT or doing it by hand.
+
+## The Three Layers
+
+
+
+ Artist profiles, songs, face guides, brand docs, audience data, platform metrics. This is what makes the output *yours*. Every agent reads these files before it does anything — the agent knows the artist the way a dedicated manager would.
+
+
+ Chat agents, Content agent, Coding agent, scheduled tasks, background workers. Agents do the work — they create content, research audiences, generate reports, manage releases, and post to social platforms.
+
+
+ Web App, Slack, CLI, API, MCP. These are how you interact with the system. Different surfaces, same agents, same context. Use the web app for visual workflows, Slack for team ops, CLI for automation, API and MCP for developers.
+
+
+
+## Agents
+
+Agents are autonomous workers. You give them a goal, they execute. Each agent type specializes in a domain.
+
+| Agent | What It Does | Entry Points |
+|-------|-------------|--------------|
+| **Chat Agent** | Conversational AI with full artist context. Research, planning, strategy. | Web App, API |
+| **Content Agent** | Generates social-ready videos from your artist's songs and brand. | Slack, API, CLI |
+| **Task Agent** | Runs scheduled operations — daily reports, batch jobs, monitoring. | API, Web App |
+
+### How agents use context
+
+When you create content for an artist, the agent reads:
+
+1. `context/artist.md` — who they are, their genre, brand voice, aesthetic
+2. `context/audience.md` — fan demographics, platform behavior, engagement patterns
+3. `context/images/face-guide.png` — visual reference for AI-generated imagery
+4. `songs/*.mp3` — the actual music for clip selection and audio-driven content
+
+This is why Recoup content sounds like the artist, not like generic AI output.
+
+## Sandboxes
+
+Every account gets a persistent sandbox — an isolated environment where agents run code, manage files, and execute workflows. The sandbox persists across sessions, so agents pick up where they left off.
+
+```bash
+# Via MCP
+prompt_sandbox "analyze my top 5 songs by streaming performance"
+
+# Via API
+POST /api/sandboxes
+{ "prompt": "generate a release timeline for Q2" }
+
+# Via CLI
+recoup sandboxes create --prompt "set up content pipeline for new EP"
+```
+
+Sandboxes are how Recoup moves from "suggesting" to "doing." The agent doesn't just recommend a marketing plan — it creates the assets, schedules the posts, and tracks the results.
+
+## Data Flow
+
+
+
+ Songs, brand docs, social accounts, audience files. Upload through the web app, API, or CLI.
+
+
+ Content creation, audience analysis, competitive research, distribution. Agents read your context and act.
+
+
+ Videos on Instagram. Reports in your inbox. Analytics in your dashboard. Metrics tracked across Spotify, YouTube, TikTok, X.
+
+
+
+## Integration Options
+
+| Method | Best For | Docs |
+|--------|----------|------|
+| **REST API** | Custom integrations, dashboards, programmatic access | [API Reference](/api-reference/introduction) |
+| **MCP** | AI agents (Claude, Cursor, VS Code), tool-use workflows | [MCP Guide](/mcp) |
+| **CLI** | Terminal workflows, scripting, CI/CD automation | [CLI Guide](/cli) |
+| **Slack** | Team-based content operations, batch workflows | [Content Agent](/content-agent) |
+| **Web App** | Visual interface, chat, artist management | [chat.recoupable.com](https://chat.recoupable.com) |
+
+## Why not ChatGPT
+
+General-purpose agents can generate a marketing plan for any artist. Recoup agents generate a marketing plan for *your* artist — using their actual songs, their real audience data, their brand voice, their release history.
+
+| Generic AI | Recoup |
+|------------|--------|
+| Knows nothing about the artist | Reads `artist.md`, `audience.md`, songs, face guide before every action |
+| Suggests a plan | Creates the assets, schedules the posts, tracks the results |
+| One conversation, then gone | Persistent sandbox — picks up where it left off |
+| You copy-paste between tools | API, MCP, CLI, Slack — one system, every entry point |
+| Same output for every artist | Context-aware output that sounds like the artist, not like AI |

+### Communication
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `send_email` | Send email via Resend API |
+| `contact_team` | Message the Recoup support team |
+
+### Sandboxes
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `prompt_sandbox` | Send a prompt to a persistent agent sandbox |
+
+### Utilities
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `get_local_time` | Get current local time/date with optional timezone |
+
+## Example: Research an Artist
-console.log(result.content);
```
+You: "Research Mac Miller's streaming performance and fan demographics"
-### run_sandbox_command
+Agent calls: get_spotify_search → get_spotify_artist_albums →
+ get_spotify_artist_top_tracks → artist_deep_research
-Create a sandbox and run a shell command or OpenClaw prompt in it. Unlike `prompt_sandbox`, this creates a **new sandbox each call** and runs the command asynchronously via a background task. Returns a sandbox ID and run ID to track progress.
+Agent returns: Comprehensive report with streaming data, discography analysis,
+ and fan engagement metrics.
+```
+
+## Example: Create Content
+
+```
+You: "Generate a promotional image for an upcoming EP release"
+
+Agent calls: get_artist_socials → generate_image
-See [`POST /api/sandboxes`](/api-reference/sandboxes/create) for the equivalent REST endpoint.
+Agent returns: Artist-branded promotional image ready for social posting.
+```
