Plot
Plot is a browser-based screenwriting application for individual writers and film or television writing teams. Its structured editor formats screenplay elements such as scene headings, action, character names, dialogue, transitions, and dual dialogue. Writers can save named points in a draft, maintain alternate lines or scene versions, and compare revisions. AI tools suggest or propose screenplay edits for writers to review before incorporating. Plot imports Final Draft (FDX) and Fountain files and exports scripts to PDF, Fountain, or FDX. Production features include revision colors, locked drafts, breakdown reports, and cast lists. Eligible plans add project sharing and real-time collaboration, with team workspaces and permissions available on the Team plan. A free plan covers core writing, while paid plans add greater project limits, version controls, AI capabilities, and production workflows.

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.
