AI-powered screenplay writing and editing tool that turns ideas into formatted scripts.

FreemiumLive

BeatBandit helps you turn an idea into a screenplay by guiding you through story beats and character development. You start with a conversation where the AI asks questions a writers' room would ask—who wants what, obstacles, costs—and then drafts initial beats and character profiles, including wounds, flaws, and arcs. The tool lets you view the whole story structure, map beats using a library of 16 known films, and receive specific notes on missing elements with reasoning. Once beats and scenes are set, BeatBandit writes them into properly formatted screenplay pages in your voice, offering a real screenplay editor where you can rewrite by hand or with AI help, and export to PDF, Final Draft or Fountain. It tracks changes across beats, characters, and pages, showing before‑and‑after versions so you can apply or dismiss suggestions without restarting the project.
