Character Bible
Appearance Matrix shows every scene each character is in and who they share screen-time with. By season two, you'll still remember what that bartender from the pilot drinks.
Script Studio
The studio that takes a screenplay
from first idea to industry hands.
Plan, Scenes, Write, Deliver — four tabs, one workflow. From worldbuilding and character bibles to scene boards and structure templates, to dual-format editing, to FDX/Fountain export — without ever leaving the tool.

Industry format
The format is half the gatekeeper.
Slima opens the door.
Eight in ten reader-coverage rejections cite formatting in the first paragraph. Your story shouldn't lose to a margin.
01 · The workflow
From a blank page to
an industry-ready screenplay.
Slima Script Studio is four connected tabs. Each tab solves a real stage where screenwriters get stuck — and the AI mentor follows you across all four.
Step 01
Plan
Plan
Know what you're writing
Characters, storylines, locations, worldview, notes. Every fact stays in the AI mentor's memory, so by scene 30 it still remembers the foreshadowing in scene 2.
Step 02
Scenes
Board
Structure before dialogue
Three-act, five-act, or your own custom beat sheet on the corkboard. Drag to reorder; beats and storylines stay in sync.
Step 03
Write
Edit
Two formats, one screen
One-click between Hollywood and Taiwan format. Character autocomplete, slug formatting, footnotes — all built in.
Step 04
Deliver
Deliver
Whatever the industry needs
PDF (industry standard), Final Draft (FDX), Fountain (plain text). Submission packets and shareable read-only links, one click.
02 · Plan
Before the first line of dialogue,
set down the world and the people.
Plan has six sub-tabs — Planning, Characters, Storylines, Locations, Worldview, Notes. Each one wired into the script. The AI mentor reads all of them.
Planning
Characters
Storylines
Locations
Worldview
Notes
Storyline tracking
A-plot, B-plot, foreshadow — each its own colour. Every scene tags the storylines it advances, so a thread can't quietly fall off the table.
Reusable locations
Apartment, Harbor, Café — set int/ext and day/night once; every later scene picks them up by reference.
03 · Scenes
Structure
before dialogue.
Drag scenes around the corkboard; beats and storylines move with them. Apply a structure template and Slima nudges you when a beat is empty.
Board
List
Season
Timeline
Four views
Board, List, Season, Timeline — same screenplay, four angles. TV writers can read a season's emotional curve, then jump back to a card to drag a scene.
Structure templates
Three-act, five-act, or a fully custom beat sheet you name yourself. Each beat becomes a movable card; Slima nudges you when one is empty.
Storyline color bars
Every card shows which storylines it touches at the bottom edge. You'll see at a glance when the A-plot drops a beat in the middle act.
04 · Write
While you're writing,
format shouldn't steal your attention.
One-click between Hollywood and Taiwan format. Slug lines auto-uppercase, character names auto-center, dialogue auto-indents — you only think about the next line.
Format
Hollywood
Taiwan
⌘ ⇧ F
Both formats, same script
Hollywood (INT./EXT. SLUG — DAY) and Taiwan (時 / 景 / 人) — same script, two views. Hand the Hollywood version to the international agent; keep editing the Taiwan version locally.
Character autocomplete
Type "MA" and MAYA appears, uppercased and centered, with (CONT'D) auto-tagged on continuation. Parentheticals indent on their own line.
Scenes wired to outline
Every scene number stays in sync with the outline beat. Reorder scenes and the outline follows.
05 · Deliver
Whatever the industry asks for,
you ship it.
PDF (industry-standard layout, watermark and all), Final Draft FDX (the de facto for production schedules), Fountain (plain text for diff-friendly collaboration). One click each.
Industry-standard layout · title page, scene numbers, watermark

06 · The AI mentor
The AI mentor
follows you across all four tabs.
The mentor has read your character bible, your storylines, your structure template, every scene you've written. Ask it anything; the answer comes from inside the show — not from a generic screenwriting class.
In Plan
Suggests character-arc shapes for your genre. Flags storyline gaps (which thread is missing a turn).
In Scenes
Marks which beat is empty, which scene the mentor would expect a character to appear in but they don't, which two storylines never share a scene.
In Write
Selection menu on dialogue: sharpen, raise stakes, cut in half. On action: add a sense detail, compress.
In Deliver
Auto-generates logline, synopsis, and a character one-pager. Submission packet ready.
★★★★★
My writing used to be scattered across different files — character notes, outlines, first drafts, scene breakdowns. Finding any single reference was torture. With Slima, everything finally clicked into place.

08 · Common questions
The will the industry take it? list.
If your question isn't here, write to us. A human reads everything.
Is Slima's PDF actually industry-standard?
Yes. Courier 12pt, 1-inch margins, scene numbers in the margin, title page formatted to reader expectations. Readers at major Hollywood agencies and Taiwanese production houses have all opened Slima PDFs.
Can I write the same script in both Hollywood and Taiwan format?
You can. Two views over one script — switching is instant. Draft in Taiwan format locally and export Hollywood for the overseas agent, no two files to maintain.
Can I customize structure templates?
Yes. Three-act and five-act are built in, plus a fully custom beat sheet you name yourself — any number of beats. Each beat can wire to a specific scene.
Can I import a Final Draft FDX?
FDX in and out. Drop an existing FDX and Slima parses scenes, characters, and dialogue automatically.
Will Slima train its AI on my screenplay?
No. Your script is encrypted at rest and never used for training. Each AI request reads your work, answers, and forgets.
Is collaboration supported?
Read-only links with optional comments are supported now. Live multi-cursor collaboration is in beta — write to us and we'll enable it for your account.
