Hand this off first: inquiry replies
“Go through new inquiries. Draft a warm, personal reply to each using our packages guide, and ask the three questions we always need answered. Don’t send.”
- Drafts wait for your approval.
Inquiry replies, package proposals, shoot-prep questionnaires, review requests and the invoices nobody likes chasing. Murage drafts the studio’s admin, and you approve what goes out.
Free and open source. macOS, Windows and Ubuntu.
An example view. The teams are real, from the library. None of them is running yet.
Teams

Inquiries that go cold. Couples email three photographers. The first thoughtful reply usually wins.
Proposal fatigue. Every package, rewritten for every client.

Why it fits this work
Murage’s default House Rules tell every bot never to promise prices in your name, so package proposals come back with the fees left for you to fill in.
Claude Code, Codex, Hermes and more, each bot on the engine that suits its job. Keep the one you use; Murage puts them on one team, and you can switch any bot’s engine later.
The Murage app is free. Your team runs on the AI plan you already pay for, and a busy team uses its allowance faster. Connected apps and voice use optional Flux Router credits or your own keys.
Your Chief of Staff hands each part of the job to a specialist, can run it on a schedule, and gives you the draft.
New bots start on Ask. On Full access, a bot stops before messaging anyone new, posting publicly, paying, or deleting outside its folder, unless you have allowed it for that task. Replies in an existing conversation go ahead on Auto and Full access. No limits turns the stop line off. On Hermes and other ACP engines, Ask and the stop line cover only what the engine asks Murage about: shell commands and file edits.
Each job starts with one sentence to your Chief of Staff, and ends with a draft or a question for you.
House Rules keep bots from promising prices in your name.
“Here are my notes from the call with the Lees. Draft the proposal: their day in their words, two package options and the timeline. Leave the prices for me.”
Reusable documents for every job.
“Write the pre-shoot questionnaire for brand shoots, and a one-page brief template I fill in from the answers.”
Drafts for you to send and publish.
“Draft review-request emails for last month’s clients, then turn these three shoots into blog posts for our portfolio.”
It never takes or makes payments.
“Here’s the unpaid invoices list. Draft a polite reminder for each, firmer for anything over 30 days.”
From Murage’s library. Look inside any team before you import it.
It drafts inquiry replies, proposals, questionnaires, review requests and invoice reminders. You stay on the creative work and approve what goes out.
Murage doesn’t edit images. It drafts the writing and admin around the studio.
It can give you a clause-by-clause first read and suggested changes, as drafts for you or your lawyer to review. It isn’t legal advice.
Not to anyone new. New bots start on Ask. On Full access, a bot stops before messaging anyone new, posting publicly, paying, or deleting outside its folder, unless you have allowed it for that task. On Hermes and other ACP engines, Ask and the stop line cover only what the engine asks Murage about: shell commands and file edits. Replies in an existing conversation go ahead on Auto and Full access.
Murage is free and open source, and your agents run on the AI plan you already pay for. Connected apps like Gmail use Flux Router credits or your own connected-apps key.
