Script and story · Autessa Video Studio
AI script brainstorm
Autessa Video Studio includes an AI script writer for short videos. You chat with a brainstorm assistant on one side while the script builds as a live document on the other, so you always see the words that will become your video.
The problem
A blank page is the slowest part of making a video
Most short videos stall before a single frame exists, because writing 30 tight seconds is hard. Generic AI chat tools write long paragraphs you then have to cut, copy and paste somewhere else. Video Studio keeps the conversation and the script side by side and writes for the spoken length of a short video, so you leave the Script stage with something ready to cut into scenes.
Where it happens
What you get
- A split-pane workspace: the brainstorm chat on the left and the live script document on the right.
- The script document updates as the assistant drafts, with a short flash and a word-change count so you can see what moved.
- A header shows the word count and the estimated spoken length in seconds.
- Starter prompts such as "A 30-second product explainer for…", "A room-by-room house tour" and "Turn my bullet points into a script".
- Choose the brainstorm model: Small for fast brainstorming, Medium for richer, more detailed scripts, or Large, the most thoughtful, which plans before it writes.
- Stop a reply mid-stream, retry one that failed, and click into the document to paste or type your own words at any time.
How it works
How does ai script brainstorm work in Autessa Video Studio?
Create a video and pick "Brainstorm with AI"
Give the video a title. Video Studio opens the Script stage with the chat and an empty script document.
Describe what you want
Type a brief or click a starter prompt. Enter sends, Shift+Enter adds a new line.
Watch the script build
The assistant replies in the chat and writes its latest draft into the script document, with word count and estimated seconds in the header.
Refine in conversation or by hand
Ask for a shorter version, a different hook or a new ending, or edit the document directly. Toggle "Follow the assistant's latest draft" if you want to keep your own edits pinned.
Continue to Scenes
When the words are right, move on. From here, your words are kept exactly as written.

AI assist
Where AI helps here
The brainstorm assistant is a real Autessa agent provisioned for your company. It drafts and revises the script in conversation, writes for spoken length, and puts its latest draft in the document. Brainstorming is an ordinary AI conversation and is shown in the task estimate before you continue.
Video Studio runs on Autessa's own AI models and shows an AI task estimate before every step that uses AI.

Can AI write my video script?
Yes. Video Studio's brainstorm assistant drafts a short video script from your brief and keeps refining it in conversation. The draft appears in a live document next to the chat.
Which model should I use for brainstorming?
Start with Small for quick ideas. Switch to Medium for richer, more detailed scripts, or Large when you want it to plan the structure before writing.
Can I edit the AI script myself?
Yes. Click into the script document and type or paste at any time. Your edits are what move forward to the Scenes stage.
How long will my video be?
The script header shows the word count and an estimated spoken length in seconds, so you can aim for 15, 30 or 60 seconds while you write.
