AI app for creatives · no coding needed
Storyboard planning and review workspace
Reduce planning handoffs while keeping the director's intent.
Made for: Directors, producers and creative teams planning film and video scenes
What it does for you
The problem
Scene planning is split across separate storyboard, script, animatic and 3D tools, so versions and feedback fragment.
What it gives you
Director-approved storyboards and animatics linked to shot lists

Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You copy and paste the prompts on this page into ChatGPT or Claude, and the AI does the building. When it asks you something, you answer in your own words.
What does it cost?
The quick version, the app pack and the step-by-step instructions are for members: you pay the membership price, not a price per app (see the plans). Building the full app uses your own ChatGPT or Claude subscription. Putting it online is often cheap or no cost at the start, and your AI tells you before anything costs money.
How long does it take?
The quick version: about two minutes. The real app: an afternoon for a first version you can use, longer if you want every feature.
Can I change it to fit my business?
Yes. Tell your AI what to change in plain words, like “add a column for the price” or “use our logo and colours”. Or have Nexibeo build and customise it for you.
More detailsHow the AI works, safeguards and what to build first
Reduce planning handoffs while keeping the director's intent. For directors, producers and creative teams planning film and video scenes, convert licensed scripts, shot descriptions, character references and scene constraints into director-approved storyboards and animatics linked to shot lists. The benefit is a testable hypothesis, measured through approved shots per planning hour and corrections after storyboard approval; do not assume that AI output alone produces business value.
Confirm the buyer's problem and scope, collect licensed scripts, shot descriptions, character references and scene constraints, then follow this sequence: 1. Generate storyboard images from scene descriptions. 2. Create and edit structured shot lists. 3. Arrange and adjust storyboard elements by drag and drop. Resolve uncertain cases with qualified reviewers, approve director-approved storyboards and animatics linked to shot lists, and measure approved shots per planning hour and corrections after storyboard approval against a documented baseline.
How the AI works
Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate outputs for the three stated task modules. Use deterministic code for arithmetic, schema validation, hard constraints and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. One fixed aspect ratio and licensed character set; final shot selection and continuity checks remain editorial. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.
Safeguards
Preserve author voice, source attribution, quotation accuracy and usage permissions. Directors approve substantive changes and publication scope. One fixed aspect ratio and licensed character set; final shot selection and continuity checks remain editorial. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
What to build first
Pilot scope: One fixed aspect ratio and licensed character set; final shot selection and continuity checks remain editorial. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: generate storyboard images from scene descriptions; create and edit structured shot lists. Support the third module with operator review: arrange and adjust storyboard elements by drag and drop. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.
What it can connect to
Author-owned scripts, authorized interviews and permitted research sources. Cloud asset storage, design-file import/export and publishing destinations. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct publishing. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.
The screens in detail
Primary screens: Creative brief and references, Editable production preview, Client proof and delivery. Use a thumbnail gallery for projects, a large central editing canvas, and a right-hand panel for references, constraints and comments. Let users compare versions side by side. Display draft, changes requested and approved states. Provide a client preview link with comments anchored to the relevant asset. Make the task-specific outcome director-approved storyboards and animatics linked to shot lists visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.
