AI agent for scriptwriters
Story Bible Continuity Agent
No continuity errors between scripts and the story bible
What it does
In a series, small facts pile up: ages, dates, relationships, scars and addresses, and viewers catch every slip. When a new draft is saved, this agent extracts facts about characters, places and events. It compares them with the story bible and earlier scripts and lists contradictions with page references, ranked by how visible they are on screen. It also proposes new facts to add to the bible. Flashbacks are checked against the timeline, not flagged as age errors. The writer decides which version is correct. After fixes, the agent checks the revised draft again. It then updates the bible and checks that the new entries do not clash with older episodes. Edge case: a flashback showing a 10-year-old character is checked against the timeline year, not the character's current age.
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.
