Playbook usage policies

Playbook wants everyone to use our tools safely and responsibly. That’s why we’ve created usage policies that apply to all users of Playbook's services. By following them, you’ll ensure that our technology is used for good.

If we discover that your product or usage doesn’t follow these policies, we may ask you to make necessary changes. Repeated or serious violations may result in further action, including suspending or terminating your account.

Our policies may change as we learn more about use and abuse of our models.

  • Don’t include irrelevant, unnecessary, or deceptive terms or instructions in the plugin manifest, Playbook endpoint descriptions, or plugin response messages. This includes instructions to avoid using other plugins, or instructions that attempt to steer or set model behavior.
  • Don’t use plugins to circumvent or interfere with Playbook's safety systems.
  • Plugins that distribute personal communications or content generated by AI tools (such as images, messages, or other content) must indicate that the content was AI-generated.
