Polish — AI Script Doctor for Screenplay Development

Polish is FinalBit's AI script doctor — the experienced, critical editor every screenplay needs before it reaches a development reader's desk. Polish identifies the scenes that slow a script down, the dialogue that tells instead of shows, and the structural decisions that erode a story's momentum, then provides concrete rewrite solutions that preserve the writer's voice.

What Polish Does

Polish performs a scene-by-scene diagnostic pass across your screenplay, flagging pacing problems, on-the-nose dialogue, under-motivated character decisions, and exposition dumps. For each identified issue, Polish offers a targeted rewrite suggestion alongside the original text. Recurring weaknesses — a writer's habitual patterns — are named and addressed as systemic issues, not isolated incidents.

Why Every Script Needs a Polish Pass Before Submission

Most scripts require multiple polish passes before they are submission-ready. Professional script consultations cost hundreds of dollars and take weeks to receive. Polish compresses that process dramatically — delivering the equivalent of a professional development consultation on demand, so productions enter the notes process with cleaner material and shorter development cycles. Every draft Polish touches is a draft that gives the story a better chance.

How to Use Polish

With a completed draft open in FinalBit, activate Polish and run a full script diagnostic. Polish works through the script scene by scene and produces a prioritized issue list. Click any issue to jump to the scene and see Polish's suggested fix alongside the original. Ask Polish to focus on specific concerns: "Is the second act losing momentum?", "Are there exposition problems in the opening fifteen pages?", or "Flag every scene where the protagonist's motivation is unclear." Apply suggestions selectively — Polish recommends, you decide what stays.
