Rivet AI

Rivet AI is a cloud-based platform designed specifically for film and video production professionals to streamline the pre-production process. It leverages artificial intelligence to automate and assist with several time-consuming tasks that traditionally require manual effort from producers, script supervisors, and line producers. The core functionality revolves around script analysis: users can upload a screenplay or script in common formats (such as PDF or Final Draft), and Rivet AI automatically performs a breakdown. This script breakdown extracts key elements like characters, locations, props, wardrobe, special effects, and any other items that appear in each scene. The AI identifies and categorizes these elements, creating a structured dataset that forms the foundation for downstream planning. From the breakdown, the platform generates coverage reports that summarize scenes, themes, and character arcs, which are useful for development executives and producers evaluating a script’s potential. Additionally, Rivet AI offers scheduling tools that help users plan the shooting sequence. Based on the script breakdown, the AI can suggest an optimized shooting schedule that accounts for location availability, actor availability, and other constraints. Users can manually adjust the schedule, drag and drop scenes, and see real-time implications on resource allocation. Another major feature is budget estimation. The platform uses historical data and industry-standard rates to produce preliminary budget estimates. For each scene or element, the AI calculates approximate costs for crew, equipment, location fees, talent, and other line items. These estimates are not final quotes but serve as a rough-order-of-magnitude guide during early pre-production, enabling producers to make
