common questions

Questions answered.

How does the intake form work?

You send your client a unique link. They fill in a guided form covering creative direction, references, deliverables, timeline and budget. There is no account and no login, and answers save as they go, so your client can stop and return on any device.

Can I customise the intake questions?

Yes. Every question is editable from your template library. Add, remove or reorder questions to match how your studio works, and keep a template per project type.

Who writes the brief?

The first draft is machine-written from your client's answers by Claude (Anthropic), covering executive summary, creative direction, deliverables, revision policy and timeline. Your studio reviews and edits it before the client sees it. We do not use your brief content or client data to train AI models.

Does my client need to create an account?

No. They open a link, fill in the form, and review and approve the brief without signing up.

How does client feedback come back?

Your client flags the sections that need work and submits them together, so you get one consolidated round rather than a run of separate emails. Each flag stays attached to its section until you resolve it.

What happens after the brief is approved?

The brief is locked and both sides keep a signed PDF. It records who approved what, and when, so there is a dated reference if the scope is questioned later.

Will my price change after I sign up?

Your plan price is fixed, and we give 30 days notice before any plan price changes. If you need more projects than your plan includes, you can buy one-time brief credits without changing plan. Intake reminders, save and return, and client sign-off are on every plan, including the free one.

Can I use my own branding?

Yes, on the Personal plan and above. Upload your logo and set your brand colours. They appear on the intake form and the PDF.

Is this only for motion designers?

It is built with motion studios in mind: animation, VFX, video production and broadcast. Any creative doing client work with deliverables and deadlines will fit too.
