About First Read
First Read is a voice-profiling development platform for professional screenwriters. Through a structured interview (roughly 30 minutes), it maps a writer's creative instincts, then evaluates their work against those personal standards at every stage of development, from concept to production draft. Unlike AI writing tools that generate generic text, First Read leads with evaluation: feedback grounded in the writer's own creative values, not universal rules. The platform covers the full TV/film development pipeline, exports to industry-standard FDX format, and includes document generation for pitch materials filtered through each writer's Voice Profile. Free 7-day trial, no credit card required.

ScreenWeaver
ScreenWeaver is an AI-powered screenwriting and visual storytelling platform designed for filmmakers, screenwriters, and creative studios.
Unlike traditional scriptwriting software that focuses only on formatting, ScreenWeaver acts as an AI co-writer and visual story architect. It helps creators structure narratives, refine pacing and story arcs, and visualize scenes while writing.
ScreenWeaver unifies scriptwriting, storyboarding, moodboards, and pitch-ready exports into a single workflow. Writers can explore scenes visually, maintain narrative coherence, and iterate faster without switching between disconnected tools.
The platform is built to support both independent creators and professional teams, with collaboration, versioning, and export options suited for development, pitching, and production preparation.
ScreenWeaver is designed to enhance creative clarity and visual thinking, not to replace human storytelling.

Dramatron
Dramatron is a system that uses large language models that could be useful for authors for co-writing theatre scripts and screenplays. Dramatron uses hierarchical story generation for consistency across the generated text. Starting from a log line, Dramatron interactively generates character descriptions, plot points, location descriptions and dialogue. These generations provide human authors with material for compilation, editing, and rewriting.
Dramatron is conceived as a writing tool and as a source of inspiration and exploration for writers. To evaluate Dramatron’s usability and capabilities, we engaged 15 playwrights and screenwriters in two-hour long user study sessions to co-write scripts alongside Dramatron.
One concrete illustration of how Dramatron can be utilized by creative communities is how one playwright staged 4 heavily edited and rewritten scripts co-written alongside Dramatron.
