Overview

Filestage is an online proofing tool with approval workflows across file types. Its home page now describes Review Agents, which scan creative assets for errors, brand inconsistencies and compliance risks before reviewers start.

What the Review Agents do

Filestage lists four things they do: automated error detection such as typos, broken links and technical issues; brand guideline checks for fonts, colours, logos and tone of voice; compliance and risk detection for regulatory issues and labelling mistakes; and context-aware suggestions. The human review, comments and approval steps stay as they were, so the agents are an extra first pass.

Who it fits

Marketing and agency teams running multi-step approvals with several stakeholders. Solo creators who need only simple feedback may prefer a lighter tool. Filestage’s FAQ says paid plans start from $99 a month, with a free plan for small creative teams, so check which plan covers your file types.
