Upload a Brief to Prompt the AI

You can now upload a brief in any AI window and let ScriptCut read it, fill in the options it states, and write the full prompt for you.

What it is

Every AI window, AI Select, AI Story, AI Arrange and AI Clips, has an Upload a Brief row under the Prompt box. Click it and an upload field opens for drag and drop or picking a file. It takes a PDF up to 5 MB, a Word .docx, plain text, Markdown, or an image like a photo of a printed page, up to 3 files at a time.

The problem it removes

When a brief already exists, whether from a client, a producer or your own notes, typing it all into a prompt by hand means re-reading it and deciding what matters. Uploading it lets the AI do that first pass: it reads the brief once and fills the options it actually states, like Type, Goal, Target length, Hard max, Don't include Interviewer and Cutting style, and in AI Clips the number of clips and clip length too.

How it works

Say an agency has a PDF brief for a coffee brand's launch video: audience, key message, three moments that must appear, and a line about avoiding anything too salesy. Upload that PDF in the AI Story window, and ScriptCut fills in the fields the brief covers and writes a full Prompt: the audience, the message, the must-include moments, a structure broken into numbered sections, the tone, what to avoid, and how it should end. Every field it fills shows a FROM BRIEF mark so you can see exactly what came from the document, and everything stays editable. Nothing runs until you click. Anything the brief doesn't mention is left alone, never guessed.

The read brief, its summary and file names, is saved with the project, so when you move to AI Arrange or AI Clips later, those windows see it too without another upload. Forget brief clears it if you want to start over.

What stays private

Your files are never stored. They're read in the browser, sent to the AI once, and gone. Only the extracted brief, its fields, summary and file names, stays with the project.

Who it helps

This saves time for anyone starting from a document someone else wrote: agencies working from client briefs, producers handing off notes to an editor, or marketers who already wrote a one-pager before the shoot. It also helps if your only copy of the brief is a photo of a printed page.
