Content & IP Compliance

Original stories first

Worlds and novels on Optio are meant to be new stories — new characters, names, and plots invented during play. The AI is instructed not to reproduce copyrighted characters, dialogue, or storylines from books, films, games, or comics.

Genre labels and public-domain traditions

Suggested genres and sub-genres use descriptive language (e.g. military sci-fi, cosmic horror, gothic mystery). Public-domain literary traditions — such as Lovecraftian cosmic horror or classical myth — may inspire tone, not verbatim copying of modern commercial works.

Example: "Lovecraftian cosmic horror in space" is acceptable as a mood label. Trademarked product names (e.g. tabletop RPG titles) and major franchise brands are avoided in suggestions.

Automated guardrails

System prompts for Architect suggestions, blueprints, and Living Novel narration include rules to avoid trademarked franchise names and copyrighted character or setting names. OpenAI's usage policies also apply to generated content.

There is no separate legal scanner on every output — compliance relies on prompt design, provider policies, and user acceptable-use terms.

Your responsibility

Do not use Optio to request reproduction of protected works or to generate illegal content. See our Terms of Service.
