Turn an idea into a script

Turn a one-line idea into a finished script, storyboard, and shot list — all in one conversation. Your Director does the writing in visible steps, and checks in with you at the moments that matter. Plan for several minutes from start to finish, and you don’t have to watch it work.

Start from an idea, a reference, or a blank prompt

There are three ways to kick off a project:

  1. From an idea. After your Director finds ideas for you, attach one to your message — click the + on an idea card — and type what to borrow: "Use this as the hook," "Borrow this style," or "Write my version of this." Then send.
  2. From a reference. Type @ in the message box and pick any video you’ve saved. Attach two and tell your Director how to combine them — "Blend these: hook from the first, topic from the second," or "Same hook, new angle."
  3. From scratch. Just describe what you want in the message box — it reads "Describe a story, or type @ to attach an inspiration…". Something like "Write me a 30-second video about our new matcha latte" works fine.

When your Director starts the work, a Proposed project card appears in chat. If you attached references, a Reference blend list shows which one drives the hook, the topic, the pacing, and so on — so you can see the recipe before anything is written.

Your Director works in steps — and shows each one

A project moves through six steps, in order: Research, Storyline, Creative brief, Screenplay, Storyboard, and Shot list. Each step appears in chat as a numbered row with a status badge — In progress while it works, then Complete. After each step, your Director posts a short note explaining what it just did and why.

Most steps take about a minute or two. The Storyboard step usually takes the longest, because it draws your shots as real pictures. You can keep chatting, switch threads, or step away — your Director keeps working.

When it asks you to choose (A/B/C checkpoints)

Sometimes your Director pauses and asks you a question — for example, which of three hooks to run with. You’ll see the question with two or three choice buttons under it.

This is not an error. The project waits for your answer, then continues.
  1. Tap the choice you like best. Your Director picks up where it left off.
  2. Don’t like any of them? Tap Revise instead, type what should change in the "What should change?" box, and tap Send revision.

Pause, redirect, or skip a step

While a project runs, the message box stays open — you can steer in plain words at any time:

  • Skip ahead — type "Skip the current stage" to jump past the step it’s working on.
  • Redo a step — type "Revise the last stage" plus what should change, in your own words.
  • Add context — drop in a note ("keep it under 25 seconds") without stopping anything.

Done: where everything landed

When the last step finishes, your work is waiting in the tabs on the right:

  • Script Editor — your full script, ready to edit.
  • Storyboard — your shots as pictures.
  • Production Plan — the shoot-ready brief.
  • Details — the project summary.

From here, the next round of polish is one message away — type "Rewrite the hook," "Regenerate shot 3," or "Fork this project and try a new angle." That’s it — you directed your first project.
