Story Notes

Story Notes is an AI screenplay coverage tool that users upload a script to, producing a six-stage report in about five minutes. The service provides grades, prose on what works or not, and two to three rewrites for revision, with page citations drawn from the script. The product targets writers seeking rapid, structured feedback on drafts.

The tool reads the screenplay end to end before drafting notes, and presents stage-by-stage observations with cited pages and scenes. It emphasizes a consistent six-stage framework and cites each observation to a specific page and scene in the user's script.

The six stages cover Genre & Tone, Premise & Designing Principle, Character Web, Plot Structure, Theme & Symbols, and Scene & Dialogue Craft. The output includes a letter grade for each stage and a downloadable PDF report for reference.

Story Notes operates as a web-based service, accepting common screenplay formats and returning structured coverage without a long-term subscription, with pricing tied to per-script purchases and free initial stages.
