Feature, episodic, short-form — you need formatting studios trust, a history you can navigate, and AI that proposes edits you accept or reject line by line, from a single selection up to Agent Mode carrying a scene goal. Plot treats every scene and line as structure, so save points, draft lines, and semantic diffs work the way your process already thinks — not as bolt-ons on a flat file.
INT. COFFEE SHOP - MORNING
MAYA (30s) sits alone, laptop open — three empty cups, one story that refuses to land.
MAYA
What if the ending was the setup? — Inkwell ghost text suggests the end of the line as you type. Press Right Arrow to accept the suggestion, Escape to dismiss it.

Tab cycles element types. Type INT. and you are in a scene heading. Forced elements when you need them. Industry formatting happens in real time — no format panel between you and the page. Ghost completions accept with Right Arrow; page count, scene count, and character balance update as you write.
Every version preserved, every change tracked. Save the table-read draft before notes land. Branch an alt ending on a draft line. Compare any two save points at scene and dialogue granularity — the structural moves you care about, not a PDF export diff.
When the script enters production, preserve the locked baseline and carry the WGA revision-color sequence, frozen A-page labels, omitted scenes, breakdown data, a PDF in WGA-compliant screenplay format, and two-way FDX from the same draft and save-point history.
Plot — the draft stays queryable from first keystroke through lock — every notes pass is a diff, not a new filename.
The three primitives that do the heavy lifting in this workflow.
Ask answers from the draft. Inline Edit and revision skills propose changes on the page. Agent Mode works a scene or act goal on its own draft line. Every proposal arrives as a diff you accept or reject line by line — nothing lands until you say so.
Import and export structured FDX for production handoff. Fountain stays portable and readable — you never have to write raw markup unless you want to.
Try a darker Act 2 or an alt ending without overwriting the trunk. Compare takes, incorporate what worked, keep the rejected branch for reference.
Skills and diffs run on your draft — nothing lands until you accept it. Every accepted change can become a save point.
One arc from first keystroke to submission — with recoverable history at every gate.
Plot parses Fountain in real time. Tab cycles elements; save point when Draft 1 feels complete — the snapshot stays frozen while you keep typing.
Ask about the scene, rewrite selected words, run a dialogue pass or continuity check in place, or give Agent Mode a scene or act goal. Review what it finds, and accept only the changes that serve the draft.
Save point: “Before studio notes.” Apply feedback; the comparison against the prior save point shows exactly what moved — scenes, dialogue, structure.
FDX or production PDF for submission. Inkwell keeps the full save-point tree — the table-read version is never gone because someone kept typing.
Migration, granularity, pricing, and feature status — the concrete questions buyers raise before they switch.
Plot recognizes standard screenplay elements on import. Custom elements and non-standard styles may need a one-time cleanup before you write forward. Export back to FDX preserves the industry elements used in production.
You can see which scenes moved, which lines changed, and which screenplay elements changed type — the story moves that matter during a notes pass, not character-by-character noise from a word processor.
Skills read the screenplay as structured data — scenes, characters, dialogue blocks — and return findings or proposed edits inside Plot. You accept or reject each suggestion; nothing lands in the draft until you say so. There is no copy-paste loop from a chat window.
Pro and above includes locked drafts, WGA revision colors, locked pagination, frozen A-page labels in PDF export, breakdowns, and FDX and Fountain handoff. Those exports and reports are generated from the same screenplay, save points, and draft lines available today.
