Use your own AI
Your AI and Superdirector
Connect your own AI for free, and it works from your saved brand, sources and results.
One Canvas, two places to work
You talk in your AI app. Your brand, sources, drafts and results stay on your Canvas. Both see the same saved work.
Your AI sees only what your Canvas has saved. It does not see your computer files or private accounts. Check the dates on a source before you trust a conclusion.
What your AI can do
- Read your Canvas: your brand, sources, results and notes.
- Draft posts and notes, and save them to Files. Notes land in Brand and notes → Notes and uploads.
- Start a card on your Canvas, after it shows you the credit estimate and you say yes.
- On a paid plan, read Reels, TikToks and profiles from a public link with the media toolbox. Your AI gets the words, numbers and comments. It does not get the files.
- Schedule a chat once or every week. It shows in Chat, where you can stop it.
- Check your plan and credits.
Viral and carousel mining run only from the Canvas, after our team sets them up. See Viral & carousel mining. Every tool is listed in the Tool reference.
Which apps work
ChatGPT, Claude, Codex and Claude Code. Start on Connect your AI. For manual steps, see Connection steps.
Connect your AI
Open Connect your AI and copy the setup prompt. Or, on your Canvas, press Connect your AI under the Brain.
Paste the prompt into your AI app. It walks you through adding Superdirector.
Sign in and approve. The approval covers every Canvas you own, now and later. New here? You set up your first brand on the way.
Go back to the same chat and ask: “Show my Superdirector Canvases.” Check it picked the right brand.
Once connected, the plug under the Brain reads Your AI and shows your apps. Your AI can also give you a link to open the Canvas beside your chat. If its browser asks you to sign in, that is Enlighten ID (why that address?).
First things to ask
Ask in your own words. Start a new chat if your AI can’t see Superdirector yet. Try:
- “Open my Canvas and show me what you can see about my brand.”
- “Which of my recent posts did best, and what do they have in common?”
- “What are people saying in the comments on my competitors’ top posts?”
- “Give me this week’s report: what worked, what didn’t, what to post next.”
- “Find accounts like mine whose posts are taking off right now.”
- “Draft an X post from my best-performing idea.”
What it costs
- A free account with a verified email can claim the free MCP trial once: 20 credits for account checks, X drafts and toolbox reads.
- Cards and schedules need a paid plan. Starter has a 7-day trial. Repeating schedules come with Growth. See Plans and credits.
- If you don’t have enough credits, nothing starts. You buy or change a plan yourself, in the browser.
- Checking on work never starts or charges it again.
- Tracking a new account needs your OK and uses one tracked-account slot.
Questions
If your AI can’t see Superdirector
My AI says it can’t see Superdirector.
An open chat doesn’t pick up a new connection. Start a new chat, then check:
- ChatGPT: Superdirector is added under Plugins → Add → Add custom MCP server, and turned on for this chat.
- Claude: it shows as connected under Customize → Connectors, and it’s on in the chat’s tools menu.
- Codex: restart the app and reopen the chat. In the CLI, exit and resume.
- Claude Code: start a new session.
The approval page says the link is invalid or expired.
Nothing was connected. Ask your AI to connect to Superdirector again. It opens a fresh page. Old links don’t work again.
Why does sign-in show enlightenanimation.com?
That’s Enlighten ID, the sign-in from Enlighten, who make Superdirector. The page says “Sign in to Superdirector”. Your AI’s own browser isn’t signed in for you. Sign in there only if you want to see your Canvas in it, or open the link in your own browser.
I clicked Cancel on the approval page.
Nothing changed. When you’re ready, ask your AI to connect again, or paste the prompt from Connect your AI.
I clicked Decline when my AI asked to use a tool.
That skipped one action. You’re still connected. Ask again and choose Allow. In Claude, Always allow stops it asking for that tool.
Claude asks me to Allow each tool before it answers.
Claude asks once per tool. Choose Always allow for the read-only ones, like account status and reading Canvases. Look each time at price checks and anything that saves or starts work.
My AI says I need to reconnect.
Its approval is old or was removed. In AI connections, the app shows Needs reconnecting. Press Reconnect, paste the prompt into that app and approve again.
ChatGPT looks in its own Canvas when I ask about mine.
ChatGPT has its own Canvas. Say “Superdirector” in your ask, for example “Show my Superdirector Canvases.”
Accounts and access
What can my AI schedule, and how do I stop it?
A chat once, or every week on a day and time. Each run uses credits like a normal chat. To stop one, open that conversation in Chat. Choose Stop repeating for a weekly chat or Cancel for a one-off. You can also ask your AI to cancel it.
Which account is my AI using, and how do I switch?
Ask: “Which Superdirector account are you connected to?” To switch, disconnect the app in AI connections, sign in to the other account in your browser, then connect again. The approval page shows which email you’re connecting.
Can I connect just one Canvas?
No. Approval covers every Canvas the account owns. To keep a client separate, give them their own Superdirector account.
How do I disconnect an AI app?
Account menu → AI connections → the app’s ⋯ → Disconnect → Yes, disconnect. The app loses access. Your plan doesn’t change.
What happens to older approvals?
You don’t need to do anything. Each device or chat that approved gets its own approval. You see one row per app, with its name and one Used … line. Old approvals you no longer use are tidied up for you.
Credits, plans and limits
Does connecting cost anything?
No. Connecting, checking your account and reading your Canvas are free. Before paid work, your AI shows the credits and waits for your OK. See Plans and credits.
What does the MCP trial include?
It is separate from the Starter plan. A free account with a verified email gets 20 credits, once, for account checks, X drafts and toolbox reads. Reconnecting doesn’t reset it.
When it runs out, your Canvas and drafts stay. To keep going, pick a plan on Pricing. Nothing is charged until you check out yourself.
Why can’t I use the MCP trial?
It needs a verified email and approval for all your Canvases. It’s once per account, and not for accounts that already have a plan. Verify your email, then ask your AI to check again.
I have a plan, but my AI says I don’t.
Open account menu → Plan & credits to check your plan and credits. Make sure your AI uses the same account: see Which account. Repeating schedules need Growth.
What can’t my AI do?
It reads your Canvas, saves drafts and starts work you approve. It can’t:
- Post. You approve posts on your Canvas, from the preview, on Growth.
- Make a finished video. AI video* is upcoming. Today you get a video script and storyboard to film.
- Watch a video by itself. It reads captions, numbers and comments, or a video analysis you ran; covers are viewed on the Canvas.
- Make images or storyboards. It plans the card and writes its copy; the images are made in the web app when you press Create.
- Buy credits or change your plan. You do that in the browser.
- Stop work that’s already running. Pausing a card stops only the next runs.
- * Upcoming. Not available yet.
