Joy Pilot after the shoot wrap.
Built for creative days that finish with a camera bag, a sketchbook or a studio full of mess — admin gets handled while the detail is still fresh.
Invoice before you leave the studio.
Dictate the invoice while the day's still fresh, snap the receipts from the kit shop, and ask Jodie — the AI assistant inside Joy Pilot — the questions you'd otherwise chase your accountant for.
- "Create an invoice for today's shoot."
- "Add that lens rental as an expense."
- "What's still unpaid this month?"
- "Show me how much tax to set aside."
