Overview

  • Write in a voice that is provably yours, with every document signed at save using Ed25519 and a public key mirrored outside First Read's infrastructure so studios, guilds, or opposing parties verify records without the company's cooperation.
  • Get notes that defend your creative standards instead of generic taste, with a Voice Profile built from a 30-minute structured interview covering instincts, structural preferences, tonal boundaries, and project vision.
  • Generate material that stays in your lane, with all generation running against your own voice profile rather than a corpus of other writers' work.
  • Develop traditional television, film, and vertical drama from concept to production draft, with support for outlines, beat sheets, episode maps, and scripts.
  • Keep your drafts private by default, with nothing you upload training any AI model.
  • Move between tools without friction, with Final Draft (fdx), PDF, Fountain import and export, PDF export, speech-to-text dictation, voice capture, and API access.
  • Push back on vague or safe choices before they reach the draft, with evaluation that measures work against the writer's own profile at every stage.
  • Complement WGA registration with a per-save record of which voice profile a document was made against and a fingerprint proving the content is unaltered since save.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Voice capture is a structured 30-minute interview rather than inference from a corpus of your old work
  • Evaluates a draft against your own stated standards instead of a generic idea of good
  • Every saved document is cryptographically signed, and the signature is verifiable without the company
  • Built for screen formats specifically, including vertical drama alongside traditional TV and film
  • Nothing you upload is used to train any AI model
  • Built by a working television writer with fifteen years of credits

Cons

  • There is no instant-value path. The 30-minute interview comes first and the product is not useful before it
  • The signature establishes which voice profile a document was made against and that neither has changed since. It does not prove who typed the words
  • Built for professional screenwriters. General-purpose prose and marketing writers are not the audience
  • Small and new. There is no large support organisation behind it
  • At $20.99/month it is priced above hobbyist writing tools

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Logan Slakter 🛠️ 1 tool wrote:It generates. It leads with evaluation and it starts from voice capture, and where it generates it generates against your own profile rather than a corpus of other people's work. Any tool claiming it does not generate at all is being loose with the word.
Logan Slakter 🛠️ 1 tool wrote:Roughly thirty minutes for the voice interview. That is the whole onboarding, and the profile gets sharper the more you use the product.

Logan Slakter 🛠️ 1 tool wrote:No. It is a complement to it. Registration gives you a dated record of your claim; this gives you a per-save record of what the work was made against.
