What is the Analyze tool?
Scriptation's Analyze tool uses AI to compare two versions of a script and produce a new document that explains the changes in plain language — perfect for a quick read on the meaning of revisions.
How to run Analyze
With a script open, go to the Top Toolbar menu and choose Analyze.
You can select Analyze from here, or customize the Top Toolbar so the Analyze icon is always shown.
The first window explains the feature and prompts you to decline or accept the use of the tool. Select Accept — and if you want to skip this window every time, tick Don't show again:
Pick the two scripts you want to compare and select Analyze:
Name the file to be created — the default is the name of the second script with "Analysis" appended — but you can name it whatever you like:
After a moment, the analysis document is displayed — a concise distillation of the differences between the two scripts:
Compare Scripts vs Analyze
Scriptation has two ways to compare drafts, and they serve different purposes:
- Analyze (this article) — an AI-generated summary of the differences, written in clear natural language. Best when you want a quick read on the meaning of the changes;
- Compare Scripts — a rule-based, scene-by-scene text diff. Every insertion, deletion, and change is listed exactly. Best when you need a precise, auditable record.
Both are Industry Pro features and they're complementary — many users run Compare Scripts for the receipts and Analyze for the at-a-glance summary.
What about privacy?
When you run Analyze, the two scripts being compared are sent to Scriptation's AI provider to generate the summary. For full details on what's sent, how it's handled, and what's not done with it, see Is my script private when using Analyze?.
