Laper
AI screenwriting software with automatic script formatting, structure views, collaboration and a script doctor.
Laper is AI screenwriting software. Laper formats a screenplay automatically as you type, turns scenes and characters into visual structure views, and uses AI to diagnose problems in a draft without writing the story for you. Laper also supports real-time collaboration and can generate storyboard frames and reference images from a script.
Best for Screenwriters and small production teams who want formatting handled for them and AI feedback on structure while keeping authorship of the text.

What is Laper?
Laper is screenwriting software that pairs a screenplay editor with AI tools meant to assist the writer instead of drafting the story. The editor applies industry layout automatically, covering scene headings, action, dialogue, parentheticals, transitions and pagination in either Hollywood or Asian format. Scenes, characters and locations are extracted from the script and displayed as outlines, cards, tables and relationship graphs, so the structure of a draft can be read at a glance. An AI workspace examines a chosen scene, range or the full draft, and a Script Doctor returns prioritised notes on structure, motivation and pacing. Teams edit one shared script in real time, with history and saved versions. For pre-production, the tool can generate character portraits, location references and storyboard frames linked to the script. Writers may also publish projects to a public screenplay library.
