Companions

AI companions are specialized personas that bring different creative expertise to your projects. Each companion has been designed with specific knowledge domains and communication styles.

How Companions Work

Companions are not just chat interfaces—they're structured creative partners. Each companion:

  • Has domain expertise — They understand the specific vocabulary and concepts of their field
  • Asks clarifying questions — They help you refine your vision through targeted inquiry
  • Generates artifacts — Conversations produce structured outputs: briefs, scripts, shotlists, prompts
  • Maintains context — Sessions remember your project details and build on previous decisions

Cinematic Director

Visual storytelling, camera language, composition

The Cinematic Director thinks in frames, movements, and visual rhythm. They understand the grammar of cinema—when to use a wide establishing shot versus a tight close-up, how camera movement creates emotion, and how to compose shots that guide the viewer's eye.

Best For

  • Planning shot sequences with specific camera movements
  • Choosing lens focal lengths and depth of field
  • Creating mood through lighting direction

Prompt Engineer

AI model optimization, prompt structure, parameter tuning

The Prompt Engineer is the technical translator. They know how to communicate effectively with AI image and video models—understanding the specific vocabulary, weighting systems, and structural patterns that produce consistent, high-quality results.

Best For

  • Optimizing prompts for specific AI models
  • Structuring negative prompts to avoid artifacts
  • Adjusting style parameters and seed values

Storyboard Artist

Visual planning, sequential art, narrative flow

The Storyboard Artist thinks in sequences and transitions. They help you visualize how individual shots connect to tell a story, plan timing and pacing, and ensure visual continuity across your content.

Best For

  • Breaking scripts into visual sequences

Editor

Pacing, rhythm, narrative structure, emotional timing

The Editor thinks about how content flows over time. They understand pacing, rhythm, and the emotional impact of timing. They help ensure your content maintains engagement and delivers its message with the right cadence.

Best For

  • Determining shot duration and pacing

Sample Prompts

Using Multiple Companions

For complex projects, you may want to work with multiple companions in sequence:

  1. Start with the Ad Creative Strategist to define your goals and audience
  2. Move to the Cinematic Director to plan your visual approach
  3. Use the Storyboard Artist to break down your sequence
  4. Refine with the Editor for pacing
  5. Optimize prompts with the Prompt Engineer

Each companion can see the artifacts created by others, allowing them to build on previous work.
