What if AI worked like a real creative team?

When you're making a movie, you don't ask one person to write the script, direct, handle the budget, design costumes, AND edit the final cut. You hire a team of specialists who each bring their expertise to the table.

That's exactly what we built for AI.

Instead of asking one AI to do everything, we created a system where multiple AI specialists work together—each with their own job, their own expertise, and their own responsibilities.


The Problem

When you ask ChatGPT or Claude to help write a screenplay, you get... fine results. But here's what's missing:

  • No structure — It doesn't know when to check formatting vs. when to focus on story
  • No specialization — It's a generalist pretending to be an expert
  • No teamwork — There's no one to catch mistakes or offer a different perspective
  • No standards — Every session starts from scratch

It's like hiring one intern to do everything instead of building a real team.


The Solution: An 11-Person AI Team

This template gives you a complete creative team:

Team MemberWhat They Do
Story ArchitectMakes sure your story structure works (can veto bad structural changes)
Dialogue WriterGives each character a unique voice
Scene WriterDescribes action and visuals
Continuity EditorCatches timeline mistakes and contradictions
Script SupervisorEnsures proper screenplay format (must approve before export)
Research SpecialistChecks facts and accuracy
Story AnalystScene-by-scene quality analysis
Standards ReviewerIndustry best practices
Production CoordinatorHandles exports and delivery
Session ManagerCoordinates workflow
Scene AnnotatorOrganizes notes and development

Each one knows their job. Each one has expertise. And they work together.


How It Works

Like a Hollywood Writers' Room

In Hollywood, writers' rooms have structure:

  1. The showrunner has final say on story direction
  2. Senior writers can push back on bad ideas
  3. Staff writers pitch and draft scenes
  4. The script coordinator makes sure everything's formatted right

Our AI team works the same way.

Some Team Members Can Say "Stop"

Not everyone on the team is equal. Some have special authority:

  • The Story Architect can veto changes that break the story structure
  • The Script Supervisor must approve formatting before anything is final

This prevents the AI from making mistakes that would slip through a single-AI system.

They Share Knowledge

All team members have access to:

  • Industry patterns — How professional screenplays are structured
  • Best practices — What works in dialogue, scene construction, etc.
  • Your project history — What's happened so far in your story

They're not starting from zero. They know the craft.
