To hold the story scene by scene.
Characters linked to the text, narrative elements (locations, conflicts, objects), non-linear writing and a contextual AI that knows the whole project: Extypis holds dramatic writing from synopsis to final export.
Structure
A play or screenplay holds better when each scene stays movable.
Acts, scenes and sheets stay connected at all times.
Free outline adapted to dramaturgy: acts, sequences, scenes, beats. Reorder without breaking the cross-references between characters, conflicts and locations.
A writing workshop built for dramatic writing.
Characters, locations and conflicts linked to the text via @mentions, movable scenes, storyboard, focus mode. Light or dark mode, fonts and typography all configurable.
From synopsis to stage text.
Extypis supports dramatic writing from the initial idea to a clean export: structure, populate, write, verify, output.
Step 01
Catch the spark
A scene, a line, a conflict, a character. You capture the material before everything is fully framed.
Step 02
Install the characters
Characters, locations, conflicts and objects stop being floating notes and become tracked dramatic elements.
Step 03
Make the arc hold
The work takes a workable shape: acts, sequences, scenes, beats and dramatic tensions.
Step 04
Write scene by scene
You move in the order that genuinely helps, with autosave, focus and recoverable versions.
Step 05
Use the AI when it helps
Dialogue continuation, line suggestions, narrative element generation: the AI steps in where it actually saves time.
Step 06
Verify dramatic consistency
Character, location and arc continuity: inconsistencies surface before the read-through.
Step 07
Export a stage text
Title page, PDF, DOCX: you export a presentable text for reading, stage, agent or registration.
Dramatic writing blockers are rarely “inspiration” blockers.
They come from character tracking, dramatic consistency, non-linear writing and fatigue. Extypis carries that load with you.
“I lose track of side characters.”
As the play thickens, details of presence, relationship and arc leave your working memory.
The Extypis answer
Characters become sheets linked to the text via @mentions, with direct access from each scene and traceability across the project. And at worst, your quick notes — anchored to the text, accessible anywhere in one click — catch whatever doesn't have its place yet: a reflex so nothing slips through.
“My dramatic outline turns false the moment a scene moves.”
When a scene changes acts or sequences, your side documents stop matching and the structure becomes decorative.
The Extypis answer
Acts, scenes and beats stay linked at all times: moving a scene automatically updates its rank in the outline, its position in the storyboard and references to characters. No side document to maintain by hand.
“Generic AI helps little with dialogue.”
A broad tool sends back smooth, decontextualized lines that need almost as much repair as help.
The Extypis answer
Extypis AI has constant, hands-off access to your outline, your characters and the scenes already written. No complex prompts to write: consistency with your play is guaranteed on every line suggested, continuation or check. The tool cannot give you an off-topic answer because it already knows each character's voice.
“I write out of order, and my tool punishes me.”
When a final scene burns before act 2, overly linear tools break momentum instead of helping it.
The Extypis answer
Each scene stays movable and previewable in the storyboard, then assembled cleanly at export without forcing linear writing.
“I miss contradictions and abandoned arcs.”
As the play grows, you stop seeing character breaks, dropped dramatic threads and inconsistent locations.
The Extypis answer
Sheets linked to the text and @mention traceability surface weak signals before the read-through.
“My final export never looks like a stage text.”
After months of work, losing time on dramatic text layout feels like falling back to draft level.
The Extypis answer
Extypis prepares title page, front matter and clean exports for reading, stage, agent or registration.
Three value blocks instead of one blurry pile of features.
Extypis works as three complementary supports: holding the dramatic architecture, supporting the dialogue, then exporting a clean text.
The play stays manageable while it keeps changing.
Characters, locations, conflicts and scenes stay linked and automatically follow the movement of arcs: no side chart to update every time you reorganize.
8 narrative element types
Dedicated cards for characters, locations, conflicts, themes, objects and more.
@character mentions
Insert clickable mentions to your characters, locations and objects.
Storyboard
Story overview with summaries, labels, quick preview and scene reordering.
Non-linear writing
Write scenes in any order, then reorganize them freely.
An AI that knows your play, not just your line.
On every generation, Extypis AI reads your outline, your characters and the scenes already written. Where a generic AI starts from scratch on every prompt, ours keeps each character's voice and the dramatic arc consistent.
AI writing assistant
Conversational AI assistant in the sidebar, color-coded quotes highlighted in the text and one-click rewriting from any passage.
AI continuation in your text
Type /continue and AI extends your text in your style.
AI nudge when you're stuck
When you pause, a discreet bubble offers an AI nudge. Press Tab to continue your sentence — never interrupted while you write.
AI narrative element generator
Characters, places, events, themes… generated by AI with optional illustration.
The project exits clean, ready for reading or stage.
Recoverable versions, title page, front matter and clean exports: finishing saves time precisely when time is scarce.
Snapshots (versions)
Create versions, compare them and restore a previous state.
Front matter and back matter
Preface, afterword, dedication, epigraph, table of contents (at the start or the end?): publishing has conventions no author really learns. Extypis guides you through every editorial fixture — title page, cover auto-cropped to book format, ISBN, copyright, opening and closing sections — and lets you reorder or hide any of them at export.
PDF export (LaTeX)
Generate polished PDFs with true typographic quality.
Multi-format export
Export to PDF, DOCX, EPUB, HTML, Markdown or full archive.
Everything Extypis unlocks for you
Five concrete capabilities: structure, write, (use AI 🤫), analyse, publish.
Hold your story, from outline to final page.
Narrative tools you won't find elsewhere — turn a tangle of ideas into a structure that holds.
AI that suggests, never replaces
The AI permanently sees your whole project — outline, sheets, scenes already written. Every rewrite, every completion, every suggestion, every cover stays consistent with your entire work, and at no extra cost or setup. You approve every word.
Estimates if you only use this feature. Credits are shared across every AI tool.
Ship a book, not a file.
From manuscript to finished book: professional exports, academic citations, direct publishing.
Analyse and refine your prose
Style tools that go beyond the spell-checker: readability, poetic meter, repetitions, connectors, passive voice.
Daily writing comfort
Everything that makes long-form writing sustainable: shortcuts, templates, anchored notes, versions, goals.
Lifetime updates
Every future Extypis innovation included, no extra cost, no paywall.
Backing an indie project
Extypis is an independent, self-funded project — no ads, no venture capital.
Human support
Got a question? You talk directly to the creator, never a chatbot.
Free to begin, even to finish. Serious when the play takes shape.
Structure, characters and writing start without friction. Paid plans mainly extend AI credits, advanced analysis and depth as the play grows.
The questions screenwriters usually ask before stepping in.
Will Extypis AI write my dialogue for me?
No. It suggests, continues, checks and unblocks. You keep final approval on the lines that matter and each character's voice.
Does Extypis AI really know my play?
Yes. On every generation, it relies on your outline, your character sheets and the scenes already written. Where a generic AI starts from scratch on every prompt, Extypis keeps full memory of the project so that suggestions stay coherent from curtain rise to final.
If I write out of order, does the tool still hold up?
Yes. Scenes stay independent, reorderable and previewable in the storyboard, then assemble cleanly at export.
Can I track my characters' arcs?
Yes. Each character has a sheet, linked to the text via @mentions. You access all of their appearances in the play in one click, which simplifies arc tracking and inconsistency detection.
Is the AI the same for free and subscribed users?
No, and that goes for both text and image. On editorial-sensitive tasks (dialogue continuation, line suggestions, dramatic consistency check, AI assistant), a subscription automatically switches the AI cascade to Claude Sonnet 4.6, the strongest model on French prose. Free users stay on Mistral, Llama, Cerebras and Gemini: very fast and excellent for drafting, more modest on finishing. For image generation (play or screenplay covers), free users get Flux schnell (fast, standard quality) while subscribers access Flux 1.1 Pro and DALL-E 3 (editorial quality, careful typography).
Are my texts used to train an AI?
No. Your texts are never sent to the models for training. None of the AI providers used by Extypis (Anthropic, OpenAI, Mistral, Groq, Gemini) has access to your content outside of the punctual API call required for the requested generation. The APIs are configured without training opt-in, and no data is retained on Extypis' side beyond what is strictly required to run the product.
Can I export a registration-ready text?
Yes. Title page, front matter and PDF, DOCX or Markdown exports: you get a presentable manuscript for registration, agent or stage.
Is this only for theatre and screenplays?
No, but Extypis is particularly strong for dramatic writing: narrative elements, linked characters, non-linear writing and contextual AI for dialogue.
Your play deserves better than a Word doc and three scattered character files.
Start with characters and structure, add AI where it genuinely helps, and keep the whole project inside a space that holds when the play grows long.
