AICO vs RivetAI

AICO is no longer available as an active product. ReturnZero ended the service on April 1, 2026, and aico.tv now shows a sunset notice instead of a working editor. The closure page is published in English, Korean, and Japanese.

ReturnZero says AICO provided meaningful value to users and will close the service responsibly. Personal information and usage data will be deleted after the end date under applicable laws, except records that must be kept for legal retention periods.

The notice also states that ReturnZero will keep building voice AI technology outside AICO. Former users with account or data questions can email [email protected] on weekdays from 10:00 to 18:00.

RivetAI is a film and television pre-production platform that keeps scriptwriting, breakdown, scheduling, and budgeting on one shared screenplay. You draft and tag scenes in an industry-standard editor, then downstream modules read the same draft without export handoffs. Writers and production crews buy a per-project license with no subscription, and your script is never used to train AI models.

Most pre-production stacks split script, breakdown, schedule, and budget across separate apps that need constant file exports. RivetAI runs all four on one connected draft, so a scene edit ripples into stripboards and top sheets automatically. Pay-once Writer and Studio licenses also skip recurring SaaS fees that tools like StudioBinder or Movie Magic charge for comparable workflows.

Screenwriters use Writer for tagging, AI breakdown, and coverage while sharing password-gated links with partners. Production teams upgrade to Studio for stripboards, DOOD calendars, budget topsheets, REST API keys, and MCP client integration. Enterprise customers get SAML/OIDC SSO, pooled AI credits, and procurement support for multi-show studios.
