Built for video-essay and documentary creators who live or die on accuracy. It runs sourced research, then hands you a tight script paired with a scene-by-scene storyboard so editing day is just execution.

Components

Model

  • Claude Opus 4.8 (research + narrative)
  • Gemini 2.5 Pro (source cross-check)

MCP servers

  • web-search
  • fetch
  • filesystem

Stack

  • Runway Gen-4 (concept frames)
  • Descript (script-linked editing)

How it works

  • Run an Opus 4.8 research pass over web-search and fetch MCP, collecting every claim with a citation
  • Cross-check the riskiest facts against Gemini 2.5 Pro and flag anything that disagrees for manual review
  • Turn the verified notes into a narrated script, then a numbered storyboard with a shot, caption, and visual cue per scene
  • Generate concept frames in Runway Gen-4 so the look is locked before you shoot or source footage
  • Import the script into Descript and edit against the storyboard with the transcript as your timeline

Summary
