Writing and Reviewing Scripts

The Script feature inside Video Ideation lets you go from a rough idea to a polished video script in minutes. Generate a first draft, get an AI critique with specific feedback, revise until you're happy, and save the final version to your library.

Generating a Script

From inside an ideation session:

1. From the Ideas panel — Click Write Script on any saved idea card. The AI uses the idea's title, description, and context to generate a script.
2. From the chat — Ask directly: "Write a 10-minute script for the hallucination video idea" or "Generate a script about building AI apps with React."

What to include in your request

The more detail you give, the better the script:

• Video length — "Write a 10-minute script" or "Make it a short 5-minute video"
• Format — "Tutorial style", "storytelling", "listicle with countdown"
• Tone — "Casual and funny", "professional and authoritative"
• Key points — "Make sure to cover RAG, prompt engineering, and validation"
• Audience — "For intermediate Python developers" or "For complete beginners"

The Script Panel

When a script is generated, it appears in the Script tab on the right panel of the chat interface. The script includes:

• Formatted sections with timestamp markers (e.g., [TIMESTAMP: 00:00])
• Visual cues describing what should be on screen
• On-screen text suggestions for overlays and graphics
• Hook, setup, main content sections, and CTA — structured for YouTube best practices
• Estimated duration and word count

You can read through the script in the panel while continuing to chat on the left.

Critiquing a Script

After generating a script, ask the AI to critique it:

• "Critique this script"
• "What could be improved?"
• "Rate this script and tell me what's weak"

The AI provides a structured critique with:

• Overall rating — A score reflecting quality
• Strengths — What works well (hook, structure, pacing)
• Weaknesses — Specific areas to improve
• Suggestions — Concrete changes to make

Revising a Script

Based on the critique or your own ideas, ask for a revision:

• "Revise the script to make the hook more dramatic"
• "Shorten the intro and add more code examples"
• "Rewrite section 3 with a real-world example"

The AI generates a new version of the script incorporating your feedback. You can go through multiple revision cycles until you're satisfied.

Saving Scripts

Once you're happy with a script, it can be saved to your library:

1. The AI saves scripts automatically when generated
2. Access saved scripts from the session's idea detail pages
3. Scripts include metadata: title, word count, estimated duration, and which session/idea they belong to

Tips

• Start with a specific idea from the Ideas panel — scripts are much better when the AI already has context about the topic, audience, and hook
• Always request a critique after the first draft — the revision cycle consistently produces stronger scripts
• Specify your video length upfront — a 5-minute script is structured very differently from a 15-minute one
• Use the script as a starting point, not a teleprompter — adapt it to your natural speaking style
• Ask for multiple hook options: "Give me 3 different hooks for this script" to find what feels right
• Combine with thumbnail generation — ask the AI for a thumbnail concept that matches the script's tone
