So… I’m a screenwriter who’s had a hell of a time getting work out into the industry. I’ve written for years, worked with great producers, been close to big breaks, and then life, pandemics, and everything else hit hard. Honestly, I was about ready to walk away from writing altogether.
But, being the masochist I am, ideas never stop. I realized one of my biggest struggles lately was getting feedback fast, not coverage or AI-writing junk, just some trusted thoughts to get unstuck when my peers were unavailable.
So I built a small side project: an AI screenwriting mentor app.
It’s not an AI that writes for you. It doesn’t grade or recommend anything. It just gives you “thoughts” and “opinions” on your draft, a bit like having a mentor’s first impressions.
I built it to be secure and ethical, meaning your uploaded work isn’t used by any LLM to train or learn from you. (Something I wish more tools respected.) It’s just a private sandbox for writers.
If anyone here’s curious about how I built it, the stack, prompt design, data privacy, or UX side, I’d love to share more.
If you’re a writer yourself and want to help test it, shoot me a message. It’s meant for emerging and intermediate writers, not pros under WGA restrictions.
This project’s been surprisingly cathartic, the kind of side project that pulled me back from quitting entirely.
