For screenwriters and novelists who want AI assistance without losing their voice, Scenaloom builds around one principle.
Scenaloom runs in the browser with real-time auto-formatting that follows industry-standard screenplay conventions. The AI model is fine-tuned for creative writing — it understands story structure, character voice, and dialogue rhythm. FDX (Final Draft XML) import preserves scene headings, action lines, character names, dialogue, and transitions. Live co-writing uses WebSocket-based real-time sync with conflict resolution. The platform supports both screenplays and novel prose with separate formatting engines.
A typical Scenaloom workflow: create a new project (screenplay or novel), start writing — the auto-formatter handles slug lines and dialogue indentation as you type. When you hit a block, the AI script writer suggests scene directions or dialogue alternatives, but always asks before applying changes. Import an FDX file from a collaborator using Final Draft — the formatting maps automatically. Share a live co-writing link with your co-writer — changes sync in real time. Export the finished draft as FDX or PDF for submission.
Final Draft is the industry standard but costs $300+ and lacks AI assistance. WriterDuet offers collaboration but their AI is limited. Scenaloom combines Final Draft-level formatting with AI that respects your creative control — it suggests but never overrides. The FDX import/export means no workflow disruption. Free to start, no credit card required.
Screenwriters use Scenaloom to draft pilot episodes, features, and shorts with AI-assisted formatting and structure suggestions. Novelists outline chapters, develop characters, and maintain consistent voice across long-form prose. Showrunners use live co-writing for writers' room collaboration. Film students learn proper screenplay format with auto-formatting that teaches as it corrects. Producers import FDX files from Final Draft users without compatibility issues. See Scenaloom.
A few practical notes for teams evaluating it: the auto-formatter runs locally in the browser, so there is no install step and no lock-in — drafts live in one project and export cleanly. The revision pass matters more than people expect: because every AI suggestion requires a yes before it lands, a rewrite session with Scenaloom reads like a writers-room conversation instead of a diff dump. And for producers receiving material from freelancers, FDX round-trips keep coverage notes in the same document the team already uses.
This page collects workflow notes for the tool. If you are deciding between screenplay software options, the honest test is simple: import a real pilot draft, run one revision pass, and export back out. If the formatting survives untouched and the AI actually waited to be asked, the tool is doing its job. That is the bar Scenaloom is built to clear.
