No. Anthropic’s terms give you the outputs you generate (subject to compliance), and you retain ownership of the Inputs you provide. OpenAI’s API terms work similarly. Check which terms file – consumer or commercial – actually governs the tool you’re using, since that decides what you own.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. Neither company claims ownership of code your AI tool generates for you. Anthropic’s consumer terms state: “Subject to your compliance with our Terms, we assign to you all our right, title, and interest (if any) in Outputs,” while the same page<\/a> confirms you keep your rights in Inputs. Anthropic’s separate Commercial Terms of Service<\/a> govern API keys and the Console specifically and add that Anthropic will not train models on your content under those terms. OpenAI’s API quickstart doesn’t restate an ownership clause on that page, so check OpenAI’s own terms of use for the exact wording that applies to your account type.<\/p>\n

When building with an AI agent, Playgama MCP<\/a> lets it upload builds and publish a sandbox directly, while human moderation remains separate.<\/p>\n

For a browser game this matters because the code, not just art or audio, ends up shipped in a public build served from your domain or an iframe on a portal. If a portal or publisher ever asks who owns the code, you want the answer in writing before you upload a build, not after. Read the terms tied to the exact product tier you’re on – consumer terms and commercial\/API terms sometimes differ – and re-check before every major release, since AI vendors update these terms.<\/p>\n

What to check before you ship<\/h2>\n
