AI Policy

Please read: This policy is a product and legal-position statement, not a substitute for attorney-drafted legal documents. An entertainment and intellectual-property attorney should review the final documents.

About this policy

GREENLIGHT is filmmaking software operated by FIZZYCO LLC ("FIZZYCO," "GREENLIGHT," "we," "us," or "our"). This AI Policy explains how artificial intelligence is, and is not, used across GREENLIGHT, including in GUIDE, the writing environment, script analysis, storyboarding, table reads, production breakdowns, budgeting, scheduling, and any other AI-assisted feature we offer now or in the future.

This policy forms part of our legal framework and should be read together with our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Creator & Rights Policy. Where this policy and the Terms of Service conflict, the Terms of Service control.

1. The non-generation stance

GREENLIGHT does not and cannot use AI to generate stories.

This is the foundation of everything GREENLIGHT builds. AI cannot write your screenplay, invent your characters, or decide what your story should be. Every story on GREENLIGHT originates with a human creator. The premise, the plot, the characters, the dialogue, the scenes, and the endings are supplied by you, and by no one and nothing else.

GREENLIGHT's AI systems are not story-generation systems. They are filmmaking tools that support, examine, and organize work you have already authored. An AI feature may ask questions about your story, analyze its structure, or help you plan its production, but it never supplies the story itself.

No feature of GREENLIGHT will write scenes for you, invent plot developments, generate dialogue, or make creative decisions on your behalf. If a feature ever appears to do so, treat that as a malfunction: disregard the output and report it to us.

The creator remains the author. Always.

2. AI-assisted features

AI is used only to support the filmmaker's work on material the creator has already authored. Current and planned AI-assisted features include: visual storyboard generation from the creator's existing scenes; AI-assisted voice table reads of the creator's dialogue; script and project analysis; production breakdowns; organizing production requirements; budgeting assistance; scheduling assistance; and other technical filmmaking functions that help plan, understand, or present creator-authored work.

AI-assisted features are identified as AI-assisted in the product. Where a feature uses AI, the interface will make that clear, so you always know when you are working with an AI-assisted tool and when you are working with your own unaided material.

We may add, change, or remove AI-assisted features over time. This policy applies to all of them, whether listed here or introduced later. We will update this policy when our use of AI changes in a material way.

3. What AI does not do

To be explicit, GREENLIGHT's AI does not: generate plots, storylines, treatments, or outlines; write or rewrite dialogue; create scenes or endings; invent characters or character traits; or provide prescriptive creative direction telling you what your story should be or what creative choice to make instead of another.

Where an AI feature offers observations or questions about your work, for example asking why a character makes one choice rather than another, those observations are analytical and interrogative, not prescriptive. The creative decision is always yours. AI may help you think about your story. It may never decide your story.

4. AI output accuracy disclaimer

All AI-assisted outputs are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. AI systems can and do make mistakes. Outputs may contain errors, inaccuracies, inconsistencies, omissions, or hallucinations, meaning plausible-sounding content that is fabricated or wrong.

AI-generated estimates, images, voices, schedules, budgets, breakdowns, analyses, transcriptions, and other outputs should not automatically be treated as factual, final, accurate, complete, or production-ready.

AI outputs are also not necessarily unique to you. The same or substantially similar outputs may be provided to other users. Nothing about receiving an AI-assisted output gives you exclusive rights in that output, and you should not assume an output is original to you.

5. Your duty to verify

You, and any production professional you work with, must independently review and verify AI-assisted outputs before relying on them. Do not rely on AI-assisted output for production decisions, business decisions, legal matters, financial commitments, safety planning, or any decision with meaningful consequences without independent human verification.

Budgets, schedules, breakdowns, and other planning outputs are estimates and starting points, not guarantees. Actual costs, timelines, locations, crew needs, permits, and availability must be confirmed through your own production process. See our Terms of Service for the full production-planning disclaimer.

You are solely responsible for decisions you make based on AI-assisted output, and for any consequences of those decisions.

6. AI outputs are not professional advice

AI-assisted outputs are not legal advice, financial advice, tax advice, insurance advice, or any other form of professional advice. They do not create an attorney-client relationship, a fiduciary relationship, or any other professional relationship between you and GREENLIGHT, FIZZYCO LLC, or any third party.

If you need legal, financial, or other professional guidance, including about copyright, contracts, chain of title, clearances, releases, deal terms, or production liability, consult a qualified professional. In particular, consult a qualified entertainment or intellectual-property attorney regarding your specific circumstances before registering rights, transferring rights, or entering into any agreement.

7. Acceptable inputs and misuse

You must not submit material to AI-assisted features that is unlawful, infringing, or that you do not have the rights to use. You are responsible for ensuring you have the necessary rights to any material you upload or input, as described in our Terms of Service and Creator & Rights Policy.

You must not attempt to misuse AI features, including by attempting to circumvent safety measures or system instructions, by attempting to use the features to generate unlawful or infringing content, or by interfering with the operation of the features.

Where disclosure of AI assistance is required, for example by a guild, festival, competition, publisher, studio, insurer, or by law, you must not misrepresent AI-assisted output as purely human-generated. You are responsible for understanding and meeting any disclosure obligations that apply to your work.

8. How your data is used with AI features

AI-assisted features process the material you supply, such as scenes, dialogue, and production information, in order to deliver the feature you requested. Processing may involve trusted third-party service providers acting on our instructions, for example providers of AI models or infrastructure. These providers are described in our Privacy Policy.

Your inputs are not used to train shared AI models without your consent. We do not sell your creative work, and we do not feed your screenplays into public training datasets.

How long inputs are retained, how they are secured, and what rights you have over your information are described in our Privacy Policy. Please read it.

9. Authorship and your rights

Because GREENLIGHT's AI does not generate stories, your authorship position is preserved by design. The system is built so that the creator alone supplies the story, which means AI involvement in GREENLIGHT's assistive features does not make GREENLIGHT a co-author of your work and does not transfer any of your rights to us, subject only to the limited license necessary to operate the service as described in our Terms of Service.

You remain responsible for the originality of your work and for clearing the rights to any third-party material it contains, including obtaining releases, permissions, and licenses where required. AI-assisted analysis of your script is not a clearance review, a chain-of-title determination, or legal advice. See our Creator & Rights Policy for a full explanation of ownership, copyright, and your responsibilities.
