Playbook

Your all-in-one media management solution.

Visit Playbook

Playbook is a visual media library for storing, organizing, searching, and sharing photos, videos, 3D models, GIFs, and PDFs. It addresses the problem of scattered creative files and confusing folder structures by keeping assets, versions, and feedback in one place, with previews and AI-generated descriptions on upload. Files can be shared as galleries or standalone web pages rather than zip folders, and duplicate detection helps keep a single source of truth as libraries grow.

Core capabilities include conversational visual search that queries by what files look like rather than filenames, AI tagging and organization by subject, mood, and brand elements, and AI Actions that plan and execute multi-step tasks. Review tools support frame-accurate comments, internal-only notes, reactions, share-link controls with passwords and expiration, and side-by-side version comparison. Playbook connects to AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor through an MCP server, and offers an API/SDK, desktop sync, mobile review, and integrations with Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive. Mini-apps from Photoroom, Vectorizer, Picsart, Flux, OpenAI, and Stable Diffusion are included with paid plans.

Playbook is aimed at individual creatives, freelancers, agencies, marketing teams, media and entertainment companies, consumer brands, and game studios. It is packaged as a free plan with limited storage and assets, paid per-member Pro and Team tiers with increasing storage and AI features, and a custom Enterprise edition with unlimited members, SSO/SAML, custom permissions, white-glove migration, and bring-your-own-storage options. Plans apply per workspace, with monthly and annual billing available.
