Question 1

Is RivetAI a Cinapse alternative?

Accepted Answer

If you need scheduling plus connected budgeting and AI breakdown from the script, RivetAI covers a broader prep pipeline. Cinapse is strong when the stripboard is the center of the workflow.

Question 2

Does RivetAI support day-out-of-days?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RivetAI includes stripboard scheduling and DOOD-style reporting as part of Studio.

Question 3

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Writer and Studio are one-time per project. Scheduling and budgeting are included on Studio.

Question 4

Is my script used to train AI?

Accepted Answer

Never on RivetAI. Customer screenplays are not used to train RivetAI or third-party models. Our production AI was developed in-house on End Cue's own scripts - separate from customer workspaces. Tools that send your script through third-party AI providers typically process that content in those systems, so you do not get the same no-training guarantee.

Question 5

How does RivetAI handle privacy and security compared with other tools?

Accepted Answer

RivetAI is built for unreleased scripts: workspace isolation, AES-256 encryption, RBAC, MFA/passkeys, scoped share links, and a hard rule that customer scripts never train models - including third-party models. Because RivetAI's planning AI was developed in-house on End Cue data, your uploads are not handed to an outside AI vendor for training. Enterprise adds SSO and security-questionnaire support.

Question 6

Is RivetAI's AI trained in-house?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RivetAI was incubated at End Cue and developed its production planning AI in-house, trained and tuned on End Cue's own screenplays and internal production data - not customer projects. That matters for IP: you are not relying on a third-party AI stack that processes your script in another company's systems. Inference for AI features uses only the excerpts needed for the request you make.
