Meet Alien, your AI creative director

Updates

July 1, 2026

Ask any director how a job starts and the answer is the same: with a feeling. A colour, a piece of weather, a shot half-remembered from a film you saw at nineteen. The hard part was never having the vision. The hard part is the week between the vision and something you can show somebody.

Alien is the part of Genery that closes that week. You describe what you're chasing, and it builds — a moodboard, a storyboard, a full treatment — from a library of over ten million cinematic stills. Not a search box with better filters. A creative director that composes.

Describe it. See it.

Start with a sentence. Not keywords — a sentence, the way you'd brief a collaborator:

>music video about a fallen angel, cast out of heaven for his sins, wandering through ruins and fog, broken wings, fading divine light, dark cinematic mood

Alien reads it the way a person would. It hears "fading divine light" and knows that means backlight and haze, not a lamp. It hears "ruins and fog" and pulls locations that carry weight rather than the first stone arch it finds. Seconds later there's a board on your screen — a dozen references that agree with each other, saved and ready to reshape.

That last part matters more than the speed. A board Alien builds is a real board: you can pull frames out, push others in, ask for the same mood but colder, or take one image and say more like this one. It is the difference between searching for references and having them composed.

Bring your own stills too. Drop them in and Alien treats them as part of the brief — it will match to them, not around them.

From vision to storyboard

A moodboard says how it feels. A storyboard says how it's shot.

Ask Alien for one and it turns the concept into a structured sequence: frames in order, with the shot called on each — WS · Tracking · Low angle, CU · Static · Eye level — and notes underneath. It's the document you hand a DP, an AD, a producer trying to work out how many setups the day holds.

The thinking is what you're buying. Alien doesn't cut your board into six pieces and call them frames; it decides what each beat is doing and picks the coverage that does it. You'll disagree with some of them. Disagreeing is fast — change a shot, reorder the sequence, ask for another angle on the same beat.

One prompt. Full treatment.

Then there's the document that actually wins the job.

Alien takes the same brief and lays out a complete treatment: cover, look and feel, references, palette, the whole deck — designed, not templated. The layouts were drawn by designers we brought in from the industry, and Alien writes with the same set you pick from when you add a slide by hand. Which means nothing you add later looks bolted on.

No blank slides, no template gallery to trawl. A first draft you can send, or tear apart — every change it makes comes back as something you can keep or revert, so an idea you don't like costs you one click.

Generate the images the library will never have, right on the slide. Share it as a link that opens anywhere and switches off when the pitch is over.

Three documents, one conversation

The point isn't that Alien makes three things. It's that they're the same thing at different stages, and they stay connected.

The board becomes the storyboard. The storyboard becomes the treatment. Change your mind about a reference and the documents downstream follow, because they all live in one place — with the search, the library, and your team. No exporting, no re-uploading, no version called final_v4_REAL.

It's free to start

Genery is free to join, and the free plan is a real product, not a locked demo: search the library, build boards, publish work, follow the people whose eye you trust. Paid plans open up more of Alien.

You brought the vision. Let Alien do the week.

Introducing Treatments

Creative people lose days to building decks. Treatments hands that time back — layouts drawn by real designers, images generated on the slide, and a link you can send in one click.
