In short
- SPHERIK is an AI system. Its answers are generated automatically by third-party AI models and can be wrong, so check them before you rely on them.
- What you send to SPHERIK goes to OpenRouter and an OpenAI model in the United States.
- SPHERIK keeps a short Memory Profile about you. Write to privacy@sphere.art to see, correct or delete it, or to stop it.
- You decide what to do with SPHERIK's answers, and nothing SPHERIK proposes changes a Project until its owner approves it.
- SPHERIK is free.
1. What SPHERIK is
SPHERIK is the AI assistant built into the Service. It uses third-party AI models to produce answers, texts and proposed actions (AI Output). It works in two places:
- the concierge, on signed-in pages across the Service, answers questions about filmmaking and the film industry, explains the Service and helps with your profile, for example by drafting a bio;
- the Project copilot, inside a Project and for its owner, comments on the project page (title, synopsis, tags, cover, trailer, access and price), drafts loglines, synopses and tags, suggests the roles the production needs and drafts role briefs.
You can also ask SPHERIK for notes on a script, ideas for locations, budget ranges or a shooting schedule. It works from what you give it and from general knowledge, and what it returns is a draft for you to check.
SPHERIK is an AI system. Its answers are generated automatically by third-party AI models and can be wrong, so check them before you rely on them.
A permanent notice next to the SPHERIK input says that SPHERIK is an AI assistant, that its answers can be wrong, and that your messages and attached files are processed by OpenAI via OpenRouter in the United States. It links to these terms. This way you always know that you are dealing with an AI.
SPHERIK is free. If we offer paid SPHERIK features, they will be Sphere Paid Services, with the price shown before you buy, under the Payment Policy, section 7 "Sphere Plans and other Sphere Paid Services", and the Purchases, Cancellations and Refunds, section 8 "Refunds for Sphere Paid Services".
2. AI providers and what SPHERIK sends them
SPHERIK runs on AI models of other companies. Today our requests go to OpenRouter, Inc. (United States), which passes them to an AI model of OpenAI (United States) and returns its answer.
With each message, SPHERIK sends:
- what you type, with the earlier messages of the same conversation so that SPHERIK can follow it;
- the documents and images you attach, up to 4 per message, with documents sent as extracted text;
- in the concierge, your Memory Profile (section 3);
- in the Project copilot, details of the Project: title, synopsis, tags, access mode and price, whether it has a cover, video or trailer, the number of credited people, its open roles and what still blocks publishing.
We send these requests from our servers and do not add your name, email address or IP address to them. The providers still receive whatever your messages, files and Memory Profile contain.
We store concierge conversations (your messages, SPHERIK's answers and the names of attached files) with your Account, so that you can return to them. The text of attached documents and the images go to the provider with your message and are not saved in the conversation. The Project copilot keeps its conversation only in your open page. How long we keep stored data is set out in the Privacy Policy, section 9 "How long we keep data".
What OpenRouter and OpenAI may do with the requests they receive, including any use for training AI models and how long they keep them: OpenAI does not use API requests to train its models and keeps them for up to 30 days to detect abuse; OpenRouter does not keep the text of requests, because prompt logging is off in our account. Sphere Cinema does not use SPHERIK conversations to train AI models.
We may change the provider or the model. If we do, we update this section, the Privacy Policy, section 7 "Service providers and other recipients", and the notice next to the SPHERIK input. The safeguards for sending data to the United States are in the Privacy Policy, section 8 "Transfers outside Georgia".
3. The Memory Profile
The Memory Profile is a short summary about you that SPHERIK writes and updates automatically from your conversations to personalise its answers. It holds lasting facts you mention, such as your films and projects, genres, goals, plan tier, working style, and recurring questions and decisions. Only the concierge uses it.
After every 8 new turns of conversation, an AI model rewrites the Memory Profile from the current version and your recent messages. For this, we send both to the AI provider (section 2).
We use the Memory Profile only to personalise SPHERIK's answers to you. Other Users do not see it, and we do not use it for advertising or for any decision about your Account. The legal basis is explained in the Privacy Policy, section 3 "Why we use data and our legal bases".
The Service does not display the Memory Profile yet. To see, correct or delete it, write to privacy@sphere.art; we answer within 10 working days, as set out in the Privacy Policy, section 10 "Your rights". If you only ask us to delete it, a new profile builds up from your later conversations. If you object to it, we delete it and stop keeping one for your Account; SPHERIK then answers without it.
No decision with legal or similarly significant effects on you is made by SPHERIK alone (section 5).
4. What you put into SPHERIK
You are responsible for what you send to SPHERIK. Send only:
- Content you may share, including other people's scripts and materials only with their permission;
- other people's Personal Data only where you have a lawful basis, for example as part of your work with them on a Project, and no more than the task needs;
- confidential Project materials only within the rules of the Casting and Hiring Terms, section 12 "The Project Workspace and confidentiality".
Do not send special category data (such as health information), passwords, card numbers, identity documents or anything else that must stay secret.
By using SPHERIK, you let us send your inputs to our AI providers so that SPHERIK can answer. This is covered by the licence in the Terms of Service, section 6 "Your Content and the licence you give us".
Do not use SPHERIK:
- for anything unlawful, harmful, harassing or deceptive, such as fake reviews, invented credits or Content that impersonates a real person;
- to create Content that the Community Guidelines, section 3 "Content that is not allowed", forbids;
- to screen, rank, score or choose Talent or applicants for a role or an Engagement;
- to get around its safeguards or limits, or to try to extract its instructions or other Users' data;
- through bots or scripts.
SPHERIK keeps to cinema, filmmaking, the arts and your work in the Service, and declines requests on other subjects. If you break these rules, we may limit or suspend your use of SPHERIK under the Community Guidelines, section 8 "How we moderate".
5. Using AI Output
AI Output can be wrong, incomplete or out of date, and it can sound sure of itself when it is wrong. It can also be similar to output that SPHERIK gives other Users. Our staff do not review it before you see it.
Check AI Output before you rely on it, publish it or send it. For legal, financial, tax, employment, medical or safety questions, including contracts, pay and safety on set, ask a qualified person.
As between you and Sphere Cinema, you may use AI Output for any lawful purpose, and we claim no rights in it. AI Output can resemble or reuse material that others own, so check for third-party rights, such as copyright or a person's image or name, before you publish or sell it.
No decision with legal or similarly significant effects on you is made by SPHERIK alone. SPHERIK takes no decision on Applications, casting, Moderation, Verification or Accounts: people take those decisions.
Our liability for SPHERIK follows the Terms of Service, section 13 "Liability".
6. Actions SPHERIK proposes
Today SPHERIK answers in text. It drafts and suggests, and you decide what to copy, publish or send.
When SPHERIK offers to carry out actions in a Project, nothing it proposes takes effect until the project owner reviews and approves it. Such actions include saving a list of services or of people found with the search criteria you set, preparing outreach, sending an inquiry to Talent and requesting a service. The owner approves or rejects each action separately, and an approved action is carried out from the owner's Account, in the owner's name.
You answer for what you approve, send or sign, whether or not SPHERIK drafted it. Signing in the Service follows the Electronic Agreements and Signatures, section 3 "How signing works".
7. Availability, limits and changes to SPHERIK
SPHERIK depends on outside providers and can be slow or unavailable. When the provider does not answer, SPHERIK may show a prepared general answer marked as a sample. We make no promise that SPHERIK is available at any given time or that it gives any particular answer.
To keep SPHERIK available to everyone, we limit how many messages each User can send in a given period. When you reach the limit, SPHERIK asks you to try again later.
We may change SPHERIK, its features, limits, provider or model, and we may pause or end it. Changes to paid SPHERIK features, once they exist, follow the Terms of Service, section 15 "Changes to the Service and the Legal Documents".
8. Changes and contact
We may update this document. We tell you about material changes by email and in the Service at least 14 days before they take effect, and at least 30 days before for changes to Seller fees, Payouts or selling rules, as set out in the Terms of Service, section 15 "Changes to the Service and the Legal Documents". Earlier versions of this document are available on request at legal@sphere.art.
