An AI reader goes through your pages one scene at a time. It answers before it is shown the next scene, so it can't know what's coming. You get the thing no notes document gives you: the exact scene where someone hooks, and the exact scene where they put it down.
No card, no account needed to try. A free account adds one full read on the house.
Your script gets split into scenes on the INT. and EXT.
sluglines. You see the scene count before anything is spent.
Twenty-four AI readers, from a plain blind read to a rival writer who would rather your script wasn't good. Six of them are free.
One scene at a time, in order. They react to each scene before they are handed the next one, so nothing they say is hindsight.
Read down the reactions and the turn is obvious: the scene that hooked them, and the scene where the interest went out of it.
Paste as much as you like — the free trial reads the first three scenes. Nothing is charged and you don't need an account.
Anyone giving you notes has already finished your script. They know how it turns out, so they can't tell you what it was like not knowing — which is the only experience your actual audience will ever have.
Every one of them is blind to what comes next. What changes is who they are, what they're watching for, and whether they want your script to work. Hostile readers are included on purpose: the person who decides your script's fate is not always rooting for you.
Free readers cover the first three scenes without an account. A free account opens all twenty-four.
You get one first read from a producer or a contest. Spend a cold read finding the drop-off before they do.
Three readers told you three different things. Run the same pages past a dozen and see which reaction actually repeats.
You suspect it dies around scene twelve but can't prove it. A scene-by-scene read points at the page.
See how a blind reader tracks your setups — what they picked up, what they missed, what they thought you meant.
Start free, and keep going free until you've had a whole script read. A credit is one complete read of one script by one reader, however long the script is. Credits never expire.
Prices in USD. Payment is handled by Stripe — your card details never reach us. Refunds.
A model — Claude, from Anthropic. We're saying so plainly because the way it's used is the whole point: the model is handed one scene at a time and answers before it is shown the next one, so it genuinely cannot react with knowledge of your ending. That constraint is what makes the reaction worth anything, and it's not something you get by pasting a script into a chat window.
Because it would read the whole thing first, then tell you about scene three with full knowledge of scene forty. Every setup looks deliberate in hindsight and nothing can surprise it. Cold Read holds the pages back, keeps each reader in character across the whole script, and anchors every reaction to a scene number so you can see where attention turned.
Your pages are sent to Anthropic's API to produce the read, and stored so you can pick a session back up later. They are not used to train models, not shown to anyone else, and you can ask us to delete them. The full detail is on the privacy page.
One complete read of one script by one reader, from the first scene to the last, regardless of length. A 30-page short and a 120-page feature both cost a single credit. Credits never expire.
Splitting works off standard sluglines — lines beginning
INT. or EXT. You see the scene count before you spend
anything, so if the number looks wrong you'll know before it costs you. Unusual
formatting can land a scene or two off.
Not yet — paste only for now. Copying out of a PDF viewer or Final Draft works fine. PDF upload is the next thing being built.
Try three scenes without an account. If it tells you something, a free account reads a whole script on the house — one email, no password, no card.
