Questions writers ask
How does the AI script generator work?
You describe a premise and choose a format. Plot's AI writes the script in screenplay format, and the page lays it out as screenplay pages. You can copy it, download it as a Fountain file or open it in Plot to keep writing.
Is the AI script generator free?
Yes, and you do not need an account. If you write many scripts in a row, the page asks you to wait a few minutes. Plot's free plan includes the full editor and a monthly AI allotment for the next draft.
How long is the script?
A scene runs one to three pages and a short film two to three. A video script is one to two pages and a commercial is under a page. Write another version, or open it in Plot to make it longer.
Can it write a script in other languages?
Yes. It writes in the language of the page you are on: English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese or Korean. Switch the site's language to write in another one.
Defined in the glossary
Scene Heading (Slugline)
A scene heading, or slugline, is the line in capitals that opens each scene in a screenplay. It says whether the scene is interior or exterior, where it takes place and the time of day, for example INT. KITCHEN - NIGHT. Production breakdowns and schedules are built from it.
Action
The descriptive prose of a screenplay — what the audience sees and hears, written in present tense. Also called description.
Character Cue
The speaker’s name above a dialogue block, conventionally in uppercase — the label that tells the reader who is talking.
Dialogue
The words characters speak in a story, play or film. In a screenplay each speech sits under the speaker's name in a narrow centered column; in Plot, a dialogue pass proposes tighter lines you accept or reject one at a time.
Logline
One or two sentences that capture protagonist, conflict, and stakes — the shortest honest pitch of the story.
