WriterDuet is offering a new software called ScreenplayIQ that does ai analysis of a script, then generates a lot of synopsis, character bios and such for pitching, review, etc.
Its pretty neat. Anyone else tried it yet?

"Is it for free?"... Asks the Dutchman! Checked out what they offer. Looks promising!

Say goodbye to humans assessing a script for not only producers and studios but competitions. Though it merely reads, this is essentially using AI to write your script.
A writer's feeling about this will be varied and highly personal. Next thing you know, it'll solely be an audience of Terminators watching films. It's mind boggling for this tool to be used then handing the script off to a competition using the same tool. Will they agree?
Given human reader's shortcomings, this AI-driven tool could be a great equalizer. The downside is writing to please a machine. It'll certainly lead to a loss of low-level jobs.
It would be intriguing to run Academy Award winning scripts through it to observe how they're assessed.

This looks interesting but it is not free.

I thought the same. Interested to know how "classics" fare on it.
Rutger - not free, can be priced piecemeal depending on what it does. Cost is in tokens per page, packages of tokens sold at tiers. 90pg script with all their services is prob just under $100.

Sounds like a useful tool… for non-writers.
If you’re a writer with a script, you’re the best equipped person to write your own supplementary material.
I still might want to try it, then correct what it gets wrong.
But I’ve written pitch decks and press kits… they’re not just summaries. They’re sales tools written with a thematic point of view, with the purpose of persuading an audience to invest, or help promote through press coverage. I don’t know if AI can provide those kind of hooks.

$90 buys 10,000 Tokens. The assessments - Character, Story, etc. - are billed out on a Token/Page basis. Some require two or three parts for an assessment. If you decline a Synopsis, Character won't work, for example.
For a Deluxe pass on a 100 page script, without extras like proofing and character images, its around 4500 Tokens. Therefore, two 100 page scripts for $90. That's less than cheapie reads like from wescreenplay, and probably just as, if not more, effective.
It's possible to check it out for free by creating a login then taking the process right up to payment.

A quick lesson on AI.
AI needs material to learn. You give it a large amount of data and it builds a probability matrix on that material. Then when you give it material/data to assess, it looks at words, groups of words and then makes predictions of the next words. Then if it is correct it continues or scores.
The model I used once, I gave it 1000 paragraphs that have been categorised. The AI took 650 of these to learn and tested itself against the remaining. Once it was 95%+ accurate, it had a matrix.
I could then give it more material it would classify it for me. A very simple learning model.
Every time you train it, it learns a little different.
It may impact the “notes” industry. Who knows. But it does set a baseline for price.
I don’t think I am going to use it. Simply because I am refining my voice and what I want to say.
If that has commercial value. Great. If it doesn’t. No machine will fix that.
I guess it also attempts to do coverage? Not sure how reliable its quality assessment would be.
Here’s another S32 thread from Adam, who tried it out.

I got a free trial of it through a WriterDuet email. It's a pretty amazing tool, I'm wondering if they really just used my pilot alone to create it because it's extremely thorough. It breaks every single part of your screenplay down. And it provides a video too with voice over that you can change to a different voice. Editing the video is a huge pain though, it's basically trial and error. They need to release a tutorial or something for that. I wouldn't pay to use this but it's an amazing pitching tool for sure.
