đŻ Goal: Understand how you can use AI with Streamtime now and in the future
đ Requirements: Available to all customers
AI tools are changing how a lot of creative teams work, and plenty of our customers are already experimenting with them alongside Streamtime. If youâre one of them (or just curious), this is a good place to start.
AI isnât something weâre rushing into. Like everything we build, it has to support the people using Streamtime. Our mission is to help creative businesses thrive, and any AI we introduce needs to serve that. Weâre actively exploring, building and listening, and there are already a few ways you can use AI with your Streamtime data.
đ¨ Manually bring your data into your AI tool
The simplest way to get started is to bring your Streamtime data into an AI tool like Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini yourself. No technical setup needed.
This might look like:
Exporting a report from Streamtime and asking an AI tool to summarise it, spot patterns or draft insights for a client update
Copying budget, spend and invoice data into an AI tool and asking it to benchmark your pricing and profitability within your industry
Using AI to draft notes, status updates or project briefs from information you already have in Streamtime
đ Connect your Streamtime with our public MCP
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect directly to external tools and data sources. In practice, you can ask Claude or another AI tool a question and have it pull live data from Streamtime to answer it, without exporting or pasting anything.
Our public MCP server gives your AI tool a live link to your Streamtime data. That means you can combine Streamtime with data from your other tools, or bring it into automated work like Claudeâs scheduled tasks.
âĄď¸ Other ways to connect with external tools
You can also build your own automations and AI-powered workflows on top of Streamtimeâs API, whether thatâs connecting your data to automation platforms, language models or other tools in your tech stack.
Can I automate workflows between Streamtime and other tools?
Yes, and this is where things get more powerful. Streamtime works well with Zapier, a third-party tool that connects Streamtime to hundreds of other apps and automates tasks without any code.
If you want to build something more advanced, or connect a tool that isnât on Zapierâs Streamtime list, experienced developers can build bespoke integrations.
đŽ What's next?
Every business using Streamtime has different needs, so weâre taking AI carefully. We want to build what will actually shift things for creative businesses, not ship something just because it uses AI.
Thatâs where the Streamtime Agent comes in: an AI assistant built into Streamtime that understands your data well enough to answer real questions about it, like how a job is tracking or where your teamâs time is going. Over time, itâll help you act on those answers too. The goal is simple. Let AI take care of some of the manual work, so Streamtime works harder for you and your creatives stay creative.
âšď¸: The Streamtime Agent is currently in beta. Every paid plan includes a monthly AI allowance, so you can try it without being charged anything. To switch it on and see how usage works, head to How your AI Usage is billed and tracked.
Can I share my AI ideas and feedback, or beta test for you?
Absolutely. Weâre always keen to hear how youâre using AI, or how youâd like to. Everything goes to the right people and shapes what we work on next. Email us at help@streamtime.net and weâll take it from there.
Is there an AI assistant I can ask questions?
Yes, and you may have already met Fin, our AI-powered support assistant. Fin draws on our help centre content, previous answers from our team and specific support questions weâve trained it on, so its answers carry a bit of the consultative lens youâd get from someone on our team.
Itâs great for quick answers about how Streamtime works, finding the right help article, or getting unstuck when our team is offline. If youâd rather talk to a human, just ask at any point.
âšď¸: Fin and the Streamtime Agent do different jobs. Ask Fin about how Streamtime works, like how to set up a rate card or where to find an invoice. Ask the Streamtime Agent about your own data, like how a job is tracking or where your teamâs time is going.
We review conversations regularly to keep improving, but if something doesnât land right, please let us know.
â ď¸: Once you put your Streamtime data into an external AI tool, how that tool stores and uses it is down to them, not us. Some tools use your inputs to train their models, so check their terms and your settings before you share anything sensitive. Any data shared externally is your responsibility. Streamtime does not use customer data to train any large language model.
