What does Nectar's Creator Agent do?
Nectar, an AI-powered marketing operating system, has launched a new tool that aims to take much of the grunt work out of influencer marketing. The Creator Agent, announced Thursday, handles everything from finding the right creators to contacting them, managing partnerships and tracking results.
The company was founded by sisters Misbah and Farah Uraizee, both former Meta employees. Nectar came out of stealth last year and has built a suite of AI agents that help brands manage social media, customer conversations, content moderation, creator partnerships and competitor research. Misbah Uraizee serves as chief executive.
The pitch is simple. Marketing teams often spend weeks scrolling through social media feeds, building spreadsheets and sending messages one at a time. Nectar wants its agent to do much of that automatically.
Nectar is not alone in the space. It joins companies such as Aspire and GRIN, which have also introduced agentic AI assistants to automate influencer outreach. The timing reflects a broader shift in how brands spend their money. According to the Interactive Advertising Bureau, U.S. spending on creator advertising is expected to reach $44 billion in 2026. As companies work with hundreds or even thousands of creators, keeping track of relationships and measuring returns becomes a serious challenge.
How does the Creator Agent find and vet creators?
Nectar says its agent searches more than 300 million creator profiles for potential partners. That includes smaller creators who may not have large followings yet but are gaining traction. The system analyzes videos to determine what creators post about, how their content fits a particular brand and whether their past brand partnerships are appropriate. For brand safety, the agent reviews content in context instead of simply scanning for flagged keywords.
Once the agent identifies candidates, it produces ranked lists of recommendations and adds new matches as creators gain popularity. When a brand picks a creator, the agent can draft and send messages in that brand’s voice, build custom landing pages to collect creator information and help manage contracts, product gifting and shipping details.
Memory is a central part of the design. The agent keeps a record of previous conversations and interactions, so brands can track relationships without relying on spreadsheets.
“Brands can share voice guidelines in any format, and Nectar picks up the rest from their history,” Uraizee said in an interview with TechCrunch. “On top of that sits a set of proprietary guardrails that keep every draft on tone and in context. Nectar understands what is being said in a video, reads the tone of the conversation, and knows the difference between a quote post on X and a TikTok comment section. A brand should not sound identical in both, and with Nectar it doesn’t.”
Another feature scans for personal milestones in creators’ lives, such as an engagement, a new baby or finishing a marathon. The agent can then suggest a personalized message or gift. The company says that approach can help brands form relationships that feel less like one-off advertising deals.
Can the Creator Agent work with AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT?
Creator Agent is available now worldwide and covers Instagram creators and TikTokers. Nectar also plans to make the agent available through the Model Context Protocol, or MCP. That would let teams use it from AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot, as well as from their own custom-built agents.
Nectar raised a $30 million Series A round in May. The round was led by Menlo Ventures and the Anthology Fund, a joint initiative launched with Anthropic.
