Activity Log
AI Coverage is a full reader’s report on your screenplay, written by our AI in a few minutes. Press Coverage (AI)… in the Coverage section of your script’s summary page to get it. You pay for it with AI credits, and you see the price before anything is charged.
What is in the report
- A score out of 100 and a verdict, from Pass up to Recommend.
- Nine category scores, each from 1 to 10, with the reasons behind them and lines quoted from your own pages.
- Your standout: the thing your script does best, and the line or scene that shows it.
- Scene notes: specific moments, with page numbers, where something is working or is not.
- What works, what does not, and what to do next: a plan for your next draft, in the order we would tackle it.
A TV pilot is judged as a pilot and a half-hour as a half-hour, not as a feature with pieces missing. If your pages look like a different format from the one you filed the script under, the report tells you so.
What our AI looks for in each category
| Category | What it is asking |
|---|---|
| Premise | Is the story worth telling? Is the central idea clear and strong enough to carry the whole script, and does the opening make a promise that the story goes on to keep? |
| Theme | Is there an emotional core under the surface story? Does it reach the reader, and does the ending pay it off? The report names the scene where it should hit hardest and says whether it did. A comedy or a thriller is not marked down for simply being entertaining. |
| Structure | Do the big turns land where the story needs them? The report names the pages your act breaks fall on, and looks for a late inciting incident, a sagging middle, or an ending that does not pay off the opening. |
| Character | Are your characters interesting? Does your lead want something clear, and are they changed by the end? Do the antagonist and the supporting characters have wants of their own, or are they only there to serve the plot? |
| Dialogue | Does it sound like real people talking, each with a voice of their own? Or is it stiff, or are characters explaining the plot to each other? The report quotes your best exchange and your weakest. |
| Originality | Does it feel fresh, or like something we have seen before? The report names films your script resembles, rewards real invention, and points out stock pieces, like the mentor who dies at the end of act two. |
| Writing Style | Does the script read easily, or is it a slog? Is the action visual and lean, is it clear who is where and what is happening, and are the speeches the right length? |
| Story Logic | Does the plot hold together? The report looks for plot holes, things set up and never paid off, subplots left dangling, and scenes that could go, with page numbers. |
| Marketability | Who would buy this, who could star in it, roughly what would it cost, and who is it for? A script can be good and hard to sell, or ordinary and very sellable, and the report says which. |
How the score works
Your score out of 100 is worked out from the nine category scores, but it is not a simple average. Our scoring rewards what a script does really well: an outstanding category counts for more than an ordinary one, and so does being strong in several areas at once. A script with a real gift in it should not be averaged back down into the middle, and ours is not.
Typos and small formatting slips are pointed out so you can fix them before anyone else reads the script, but they do not pull down your scores unless there are enough of them to get in the way of the read.
What it costs
AI Coverage costs 0.4 credits for every page of your script, rounded up to a whole credit. It is priced on length because the screenplay is most of what the AI has to read. A very short script costs a little more than the page rate alone, because there is a minimum that covers reading any script at all.
| A half-hour episode (30 pages) | 28 credits |
| A one-hour episode (60 pages) | 28 credits |
| A short feature (90 pages) | 36 credits |
| A full-length feature (120 pages) | 48 credits |
Your script is priced on its own length, not on these examples, and the exact number is on the button before you agree to anything. Ask for coverage of a draft you have not changed since and you are shown the report you already have, at no charge.
AI credits come with your membership every month, and you can buy more at any time. See AI credits and what they cost.
Which draft it reads
Our AI reads the draft you are working on now, so you do not need to publish it first. A script needs a reasonable number of pages before it can be covered, and you are told if yours is too short.
Run it again after each rewrite
Because it is quick and costs only credits, you can run AI Coverage after every rewrite and set the reports side by side to see whether the draft really moved. Every report you run is kept on your script’s summary page, and you choose whether a report is shown to members who view your script in the Script Library.
To see what a report looks like, read the examples for a feature screenplay and a TV script.
