Hand Codex the screenplay and get back every scene, every character, and every element as data your whole production can use. The breakdown that used to take days of highlighters is structured, searchable, and repeatable from day one.
Upload the screenplay PDF. Codex returns the full breakdown: scenes, cast, props, stunts, effects. Prep starts with data on day one instead of a stack of marked-up pages.
The parse never uses an LLM. It works from curated vocabularies and context rules, so it cannot invent a prop it never read. Same script in, same breakdown out, every time.
Cast rollups, INT/EXT and day-night counts, dialogue tallies: one shared picture of the script for the AD team, producers, and every department head.
Pair Codex with Fabric and the breakdown links into your production graph. Search and reporting then understand your story, not just your files, and reuse gets easier every season.
Per scene: scene number, heading, INT/EXT, time of day, set and sub-location, characters present, and dialogue blocks with V.O., O.S. and CONT'D parentheticals kept intact. Script-level output adds title, writer, page count, and summary statistics. Delivered as structured JSON.
Props, vehicles, animals, wardrobe, sounds, SFX, VFX, stunts, and extras tag automatically today. Makeup and hair, set dressing, and special equipment sit in the schema, ready for your tagging workflow.
Every character gets a scene list, dialogue counts, first appearance, and a speaking versus non-speaking flag, ordered by first appearance. Casting and scheduling read straight from the data.
436 default terms across 7 managed categories, plus 4 genre packs adding 109 terms and custom pack creation. 17 context-disambiguation rules keep idioms honest: "riding shotgun" never becomes an armorer requisition. Paste in a page and the dry-run tester shows exactly what would extract.
AI never touches the parse. It only suggests new taxonomy terms, each with a confidence score and context snippet, into a human accept-or-reject queue with threshold-based bulk accept. Your team decides what enters the vocabulary.
Counts and limits below are verified against shipping code. The full capability datasheet is available on request.
No. The parse itself never calls an LLM. Codex extracts elements with curated vocabularies and context rules, enriched by a time-capped statistical language model, so results are repeatable and it never invents an element it did not read. AI is used only to suggest new taxonomy terms, and every suggestion waits in a human accept-or-reject queue.
Codex turns a screenplay PDF into structured JSON: full scene structure including scene number, heading, INT/EXT, time of day, set, characters present and dialogue blocks, an element breakdown on a 12-category schema with 9 categories auto-tagged today, cast rollups for every character, and script-level statistics such as scene, character, dialogue and location counts.
Codex embeds as a panel in your dashboards, uses your SSO for people, and manages API keys for pipelines. Paired with Fabric, breakdown entities link into the production graph for search and reporting. In the four-week Asset Foundry pilot, your script can become the production's context brain in week one.
