For agencies and independent talent
Licensing for AI, on the terms you set.
Whether you represent a roster or manage your own likeness, Teila connects you with productions and brands working with AI internationally. You set the terms and approve each licence; verification, contracts and payment are handled on the platform.
Your prices, your rules.
Prices are yours to decide. Choose a fixed price, a flexible price or a quote on request, then decide for each profile which uses are open, which you want to review first and which are never available. Buyers only see what matches.
One talent, set by the agency
| Open | You review | Never | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fashion and beauty | |||
| Automotive | |||

| Pharma | |||
| Alcohol | |||
| Politics |
Example. Categories and choices differ for every talent.
Set up once, then requests come to you.
Step 1
Verify
Agencies verify the company; independent talent verify their identity and tax position.
Step 2
Create the profiles
Each talent verifies their identity, gives consent to AI licensing and adds a reference image pack.
Step 3
Set terms and prices
Once for the whole roster, with exceptions where a profile needs them.
Step 4
Answer requests
Each request arrives with the full brief, and you answer within a set timeframe.
Step 5
Get paid
Buyers pay before delivery, and your share is paid out on the first-use date, in your currency.
A new line of work, without the paperwork around it.
- New work
- Requests from productions and brands you might not otherwise reach, in several countries, alongside your existing business.
- Control
- Prices, permissions and approvals stay with you, and excluded uses are never offered.
- Visibility
- Every licence in one place: who, for what use, where and until when.
- Less admin
- Verified buyers, a licence agreement written for AI, digital signature, payment collection and currency conversion.
- Evidence
- Watermark and C2PA content credentials on every delivered file, and a PDF certificate with the licence ID, documenting what was authorised if a use is ever questioned.

Questions from agencies and talent
Who sets the prices, and how is the fee shared with the talent?
You do: prices and multipliers are decided by the agency or the independent talent. How fees are then shared between an agency and its talent stays governed by their own agreement.
Who owns the talent's images and data?
The talent, or the relevant rights holder, as today. Teila stores the materials to run the platform and deliver approved licences, and buyers may use them only within the scope of each licence.
Do we need to be exclusive to Teila?
No. Teila works alongside your existing business, and exclusivity is optional, not a condition for joining.
Can a talent turn down a type of project?
Yes. Each profile sets which uses are open, reviewed or excluded, and excluded uses cannot be licensed, whatever the budget.
Can a production train an AI model on the talent?
Not under the standard licence, which covers the reference images for one project. Requests to train a model are assessed case by case with you.
What if a likeness is used outside the licence?
Teila provides the documented consent, the licence and the technical evidence of what was authorised. Any legal action remains with the rights holders.
What if we leave Teila?
Profiles and materials can be removed, and only records of completed licences are kept, for legal purposes. Licences already granted remain governed by their own terms.
Bring your roster to Teila.
We are opening to a first group of agencies ahead of launch. Tell us about your roster, or about yourself if you work independently. One of the founders will reply personally, usually within a working day.
