Alice's arc stalls between the Caucus Race and the Croquet Ground; six chapters pass without a decision that costs her anything. The episodic middle is the book's design, but the tension line below shows how long the reader waits for stakes.

How it works

Three steps, none of them a wizard.

  1. 01

    Upload

    A novel, screenplay, serial or short story in PDF, DOCX, TXT or Fountain. The text is encrypted at rest and never used for training.

  2. 02

    Read

    Seventeen analyses read the manuscript from seventeen angles and write one report: findings first, charts in support.

  3. 03

    Revise, or produce

    Work the revision guide and chat with the text, or carry the story into breakdowns, storyboards and generated scenes.

Production

From the page to the screening room.

The same analysis that finds a sagging act also knows which shots the scene needs. Story intelligence drives every artefact of pre-production, and every generated frame.

Screening room

Scene 12, the croquet ground

4 shots · 26s · Seedance 2.0 · 1080p

12.1

Wide, high angle

Alice small in the croquet ground; the court fills the frame.

12.2

Medium, low angle

The Queen. Low angle because this is her power moment.

12.3

Close-up, static

Alice holds. No cut for six seconds; the tension line peaks here.

12.4

Two-shot, dolly in

Confrontation. Alternating close-ups begin on the next beat.

Camera angle, lighting and cut length are suggested from the emotional beat, the power dynamic and the pacing of the scene, and each suggestion says why. Character and location profiles keep faces and places consistent across every shot.

Who it is for

Built for the people who live with a story.

Novelists

Map the plot, track every arc, and find the holes before your editor does. Then chat with the manuscript when you cannot remember what you set up in chapter four.

Screenwriters

Coverage in minutes: beat analysis, character webs, pacing and market position. Fountain in, breakdowns and storyboards out.

Questions

Frequently asked.

How does the manuscript analysis work?

Upload your manuscript in any common format (PDF, DOCX, TXT, Fountain). Seventeen specialised passes read it, extracting characters, plot structure, themes, conflicts, emotional arcs and more. Results are presented as one report you can read end to end, with interactive visualisations you can explore and query.

Can I use this for screenplay analysis?

Yes. Fountain-format screenplays get scene-level chunking, script breakdown analysis, and beat templates for frameworks like Save the Cat and the Hero’s Journey. You get character relationship graphs, pacing analysis and market positioning, close to professional script coverage.

What makes this different from Marlowe or AutoCrit?

Marlowe gives a single report and AutoCrit focuses on prose-level editing. Analyze My Narrative extracts seventeen analyses you can explore, lets you chat with your manuscript to ask questions, and carries the story into pre-production and video, all from a single upload.

Does it work with web serial fiction?

Yes. Web serials of 500K+ words are supported with chunking that respects chapter boundaries and story arcs. The platform tracks cross-chapter consistency, detects tropes and tags common to serial platforms, and maintains entity profiles across the whole series.

What happens to my manuscript?

It is encrypted at rest, visible only to you, and sent to AI providers under zero-retention terms for analysis. It is never used to train models and never shown to other users. You can purge the source text after analysis and keep the results.

Your story deserves a reader who sees the whole of it.
