Chapter 1

From idea to script

Everything starts with one sentence. This chapter shows you how to write an idea that generates a good script, and how to run your first generation.

1. Create a project

Your first project is created for you when you sign up; you can also create one from the Projects page. Opening a project lands you on the guided creation board — the whole flow moves forward on this one board.

2. Write your idea

Describe the story you want to tell. One sentence works, but the more specific the idea, the closer the script lands to what you imagined. Try to cover four things:

  • Genre and tone: sci-fi mystery? warm slice-of-life? absurdist comedy?
  • Who the protagonist is: their situation, and what they want most.
  • What happens: the core conflict or twist, in a sentence or two.
  • Rough length: a short of tens of seconds, or a multi-minute piece.

Weak: “a story about a cat.”

Strong: “A girl working the night shift at a convenience store notices the shop’s orange cat vanishes for exactly one hour every night, and decides to follow it — a short film, suspense with a warm undertone.”

3. Pick a model and generate

Before generating, pick a script model in the model picker: each card shows the model’s style, speed, and per-run price. Hit generate, wait a moment, and the script appears on the board.

4. Revise until it’s yours

The first draft is a starting point. You can edit the text directly, adjust your idea and regenerate, or use edit instructions to rewrite just the parts you want changed. Every generation keeps a version history you can revisit and compare.

About cost

Generations are charged from your balance at the model’s listed price, checked before the job starts; failed generations are refunded under the platform’s rules — you don’t pay for failures.
