Industry professionals: Getting started with Orphiq

Orphiq isn't just for artists - it's for the people who support them. Managers, labels, agencies, A&R, publicists: you're part of the team, and Orphiq is built for you to collaborate. Here's how it works from your side.

๐Ÿ”ฎ How Orphiq works for industry

As an industry professional, you don't build your own Mythos - you work inside artist workspaces. The artist sets up their creative identity (Vision, Identity, Context), and you collaborate on strategy, projects, and releases.

Your role:

  • Access artist workspaces you're invited to

  • Use Apollo with the artist's context already loaded

  • Contribute to projects, mood boards, and release planning

  • Help artists without needing to re-explain who they are to the AI

Apollo knows the artist. You bring the strategy.


๐Ÿš€ Setting up your account

  1. Create an Orphiq account at orphiq.com

  2. Choose the artist workspace you want access to.

  3. If the artist hasn't claimed their workspace, review and accept the disclaimer to access or wait for your request to be accepted by a workspace admin.

That's it. Your setup is about access, not identity.


๐Ÿ”‘ Getting into artist workspaces

If the artist invites you:

  • You'll receive an email with a link to join

  • Click the link and accept the invitation

  • Your access level depends on the role they assign and your subscription

If you want to request access:

  • Ask the artist to invite you to their workspace

  • If they haven't claimed their workspace yet, you or they they will need to set it up first

  • Once invited, you can join as a Viewer (free) or use a pass for edit access

Ownership note: Artists own their workspaces. You're a collaborator, not an owner - even if you help set things up before they claim it.


๐Ÿ’ผ Industry subscriptions explained

Your subscription determines how many artist workspaces you can edit.

๐Ÿค What you can do inside a workspace

Depending on your role (assigned by the artist):

Role

What you can do

Viewer

See everything, limited Apollo access, can't edit

Manager

Edit projects, Mythos, mood boards; full Apollo access

Admin

Everything above + invite/remove members, access billing

Most industry collaborators are Managers - full creative access without administrative control.


๐Ÿค– Using Apollo as an industry user

Apollo works with the artist's context, not yours. This means you can:

  • Ask strategic questions about the artist's release

  • Get content recommendations tailored to their identity

  • Plan timelines based on their mood boards and project details

  • Prep for meetings with artist-specific talking points

You don't need to explain who the artist is - Apollo already knows.

๐Ÿ“Š Working with multiple artists

If you manage several artists:

  • Specialist gives you 5 workspace passes

  • Executive gives you unlimited

  • Switch between workspaces using the workspace selector (top left)

  • Apollo adapts to each artist's context when you switch

Each workspace is separate. Work you do in one doesn't affect another.


๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tip

Before diving into an artist's workspace, take 5 minutes to review their Mythos - Vision board, Identity answers, Context. You'll understand their creative direction and Apollo will make more sense.
