Ch. 07 · What we deliberately didn't build

The brand holds
because of what
it says no to

Roadmaps tell you what a company will do later. No-lists tell you what it will refuse, in public, signed. This is ours. If we ever cross any of these lines, you can point at this page.

No thumbnail image generation.
Wrong category. Creators who care already have Photoshop / Canva.
No production tools. No NLE exports.
We stop at the screenplay. Shot lists, scheduling, EDL / FCPXML / Premiere XML — those belong in the production tool the writer hands the script to, not the writing tool itself.
No one-click scene generation. Ever.
The hardest line to hold. Crossing it would make us a replacement, not an amplifier. The words are the writer’s.
No auto-apply on AI suggestions.
Every output is a proposal. The writer accepts, edits, or discards. Nothing lands in your draft without your hand on it.
No Arabic / mainland China through 2030.
RTL + dialectal complexity is a 3–4 week tax per feature; mainland China is a parallel legal + infrastructure build. Both deferred deliberately.
No native CapCut project writer.
Undocumented format, against ToS. Clipboard-friendly export instead.

It's nothing without the writer. We mean it every time.

The full reasoning and the four vows live in the manifesto. The data commitments are at /trust.

A tool that stays
out of your way
