What it does
  • Refs is a measured archive of 4,570 launch films, product demos and motion pieces, each broken down shot by shot into a 15-plate blueprint and a prompt recipe an AI agent can build from.
More detail
  • It connects to Claude, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor through a hosted MCP server so agents can search references, pull blueprints and plan original films.
  • Refs does not host or license the source footage; every film plays from its original post and you pay for the measurements and method.
Best for
  • Founders, marketers and product teams making launch videos or demos with AI agents who want the agent grounded in real, measured references rather than generic prompting.
More detail
  • Also fits brand leads who want one house style (Brandprint) enforced across many short films, and motion designers who want a structured method library by format.
Pricing
  • Free tier: $0, no card, covering 100 hand-picked films with their cut maps, hook sheets and the first two blueprint plates.
More detail
  • Library: $4/month billed yearly ($48/year) for all 4,570 films with plates 1–2
  • the homepage still shows "$6 a month" for Library, which conflicts with the pricing page — treat
Main limitation
  • Teams that want a done-for-you video, a render farm or licensed stock footage — Refs supplies method and references, not final production or clip rights.
More detail
  • Poor fit for heavy-volume users watching credits, or for workflows outside an MCP-capable agent, where search is the main value.
