Ship animated stories faster.
Build a universe, cast it, write it, board it, and direct every approval — in one studio. Sweatbox drafts the scripts, scenes, and assets. You make the calls.
Four moves from idea to finished scene.
Drafts, previews, and assets carry forward. No import-export between tools, no version drift.
Script
Write or paste a screenplay per episode. Sweatbox parses scene headings, dialogue, and cast into structured beats.
Character + World Bible
Living profiles for every character and location — voice, look, canon — shared across every production in the universe.
Storyboard
Break scenes into shots, scope by episode, and pull the right cast and locations into every frame.
Showrunner + Export
Approve, revise, reject, or lock every decision. Track readiness, then push finished frames to the Asset Library.
One universe. Unlimited productions.
Start a universe like Grunts, then build films, trailers, series, presenters, and comics inside it — every production drawing on one shared cast, world, and canon. Change a character once; it's consistent everywhere.
- Shared characters, worlds, and assets across every production
- Series with real episodes — scripts, scenes, and storyboards per episode
- Change canon once and it stays consistent across the whole universe
Living production bibles.
Every character and location gets a real profile — voice, look, canon, relationships, and appearances — that the whole universe reads from. Not a doc you forget; a source of truth the pipeline uses.
Every reference, in one place.
Drag in reference images, upload outfits and concept art, collect moodboards, and save generated storyboard frames. Everything is filterable and linkable to the exact character, world, production, or episode it belongs to.
- Real image uploads — drag a batch straight onto the grid
- Link one asset to multiple characters, worlds, and episodes
- Save storyboard frames back to the library as you approve them
You direct the production. AI does the grind.
Sweatbox drafts the work — you decide. AI proposes characters, suggests voices, generates shot compositions, rewrites dialogue, and prepares the assets. You approve, revise, reject, or lock each one. The production moves at your pace, not the AI's.
- AI drafts characters, worlds, voices, and shots for review
- You approve every decision before it locks into the project
- Revise with notes — AI re-drafts with your direction applied
- Lock key elements so downstream changes can't break them
Drafted three character options for the protagonist. Suggesting Kira — methodical, internally conflicted.
Use Kira. Lock the visual style. Try a colder voice.
Locked. Regenerating voice with a flatter, lower register.
Lock it in. AI moves to the next decision.
Send it back with notes. AI regenerates with your direction.
Discard. AI proposes something different.
Freeze the decision. Downstream edits can't break it.

Straight answers.
Does Sweatbox make finished films with one click?
No — and we won't pretend it does. Sweatbox is a studio workflow: it drafts scripts, breaks them into scenes and shots, organizes your cast and worlds, and prepares assets. You direct, approve, and revise at every step. The output is a real production you shaped, not a mystery render.
What's a franchise versus a production?
A franchise is a universe — the shared cast, worlds, canon, and asset library. A production is one thing you make inside it: a film, trailer, series, presenter show, or comic. Everything in a production reads from the franchise, so your characters and locations stay consistent across all of them.
How do series and episodes work?
Series productions get real episodes, each with its own script, scenes, and storyboard scope. Character and world appearances are tracked per episode, so a bible always shows exactly which episodes an entity shows up in.
Can I upload my own reference images?
Yes. The Asset Library supports real image uploads — drag a batch straight onto the grid — plus link-only references. Every asset can be filtered and attached to specific characters, worlds, productions, or episodes.
What is the Showrunner OS?
It's your director's desk. AI proposes characters, scenes, and dialogue; you approve, revise, reject, or lock each decision. It keeps a full history — including revised and rejected ideas — and tracks production readiness with live checklists.
Is the AI generation live yet?
The workflow, structure, and review are fully built. Real voice and video providers plug into this foundation — where they're not yet configured, you'll see clearly labeled drafts and setup states rather than fake output.
Build your universe. Ship the first scene.
No installs. Start a franchise, pick a production template, and your whole pipeline — script, bibles, storyboard, and Showrunner — is ready in seconds.
