Draft:Prescene

Prescene is an artificial intelligence company that provides automated script analysis and feedback tools for the entertainment industry. Founded in 2022 and based in Austin, Texas, Prescene uses natural language processing and machine learning to analyze the plots, characters, themes, dialogue, and other story elements of film/TV scripts and books.

Services

Prescene's core product is an AI-powered script coverage and analysis platform. After a writer or producer uploads their script or book, Prescene's models generate an in-depth report containing:

Logline, summary, and synopsis Analysis of narrative structure, pacing, and dialogue quality Character breakdowns and descriptions Identification of major themes and story arcs Recommendations for directors, cast members, and similar works for comparative analysis Feedback on areas for potential improvement

The reports aim to provide insights similar to those from professional script readers, story analysts, and development executives, but delivered nearly instantly and at a lower cost. Prescene positions its technology as a tool to help writers elevate their stories and to aid entertainment professionals in efficiently evaluating new story ideas and screenplays.

Company

As of 2024, the company has under 10 employees. Prescene does not disclose details about its AI models or training data to protect intellectual property. The company states it does not train its models on user-uploaded content and uses encryption to protect data privacy and security.

Reception

Early users of Prescene's analysis tool, including some professional screenwriters, reported being impressed by the quality and depth of the AI-generated feedback. However, the long-term impacts on the entertainment industry and scriptwriting processes remain to be seen as the technology is still new.
