AI agent for actors

Script Breakdown and Character Facts Agent

A complete character and scene breakdown with open questions for the director

Script Breakdown and Character Facts Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Actors need to know every fact the script gives about their character, but those facts are scattered across a hundred pages and scenes are shot out of order. This agent reads the full script and lists everything said about the character: facts, relationships, what others say about them, what they want in each scene and where each scene falls in story time. It builds a scene-by-scene breakdown with beats, objectives and changes. It checks for contradictions in the script, like an age given two ways, and for continuity details such as an injury carried across scenes. It lists questions for the director. After the actor adds their own choices, it checks the breakdown still matches the script facts. The actor approves questions before they go to the director. Edge case: out-of-order shooting gets a timeline view.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

An example run

What happensThe script gave the character's age as 34 in scene 3 and nearly 40 in scene 28, so the consistency check failed. It also found a wrist injury in scene 15 that disappeared in scene 16, shot the same day. The agent drafted two questions. The actor approved them on February 9 and sent both to the director.
