For production companies

Your scripts, your team, your rules.

DUKE-DRAFT brings together writing and preparing a film. Here is what the software does today, what it does not do yet, and how to try it on a real project.

Request a pilotTry the demo, no account

What the software does

  • Write in format

    US Letter, A4 or French format (Times, continuous dialogue), with scene numbers.

  • Write together

    Several people write at the same time in the same script; each sees the others’ text come in.

  • Versions

    Freeze a state, branch from a copy, compare two versions scene by scene and word by word.

  • Reading by code

    A reader or a financier reads and annotates a version, with no account. The code expires, and you can revoke it.

  • Prepare the shoot

    Breakdown, stripboard, call sheets, storyboard, floor plan and moodboard.

  • Import, export

    Import Final Draft, Fountain, Word and text. Export PDF, Word, Final Draft, Fountain and text, and a full .zip backup.

Who sees what

Sharing is project by project. An invited person sees only the project they were invited to, nothing else in your space. Removing access takes effect at once, even in a tab left open.

PermissionWhat it allows
OwnerCreates the project, invites and removes people, creates reading codes, deletes the project.
Can writeWrites in the script, prepares the shoot, edits storyboard, floor plan and moodboard.
Can commentReads and leaves comments, without touching the text.
Can readReads the project, without changing anything.
Reading by codeNo account: reads a single version and annotates it. Nothing else.

Confidentiality, stated precisely

  • Traffic with the site is encrypted (HTTPS). Scripts and files are encrypted where they are stored.
  • This is not end-to-end encryption: the server decrypts texts to display, share and export them. The software gives DUKE no screen to open your projects; the people who run the servers technically have access.
  • DUKE-DRAFT trains no model on your texts. They only go to a provider when you ask: the AI assistant (Anthropic) and language checking (LanguageTool).
  • Sign-in with a one-time code, valid 15 minutes and cancelled after five wrong tries; code requests are limited; “Sign out of all my devices” closes every session.
Read the privacy policy

Ownership and data export

  • Everything can be exported, at any time: each project as a .zip, all your projects at once, the script as PDF, Word, Final Draft, Fountain or text.
  • Deleting a project, or your account from “My account”, erases the text and files immediately. Nightly backups keep a copy until the end of their retention.

Roadmap

What the software does not do yet. No date is promised.

  • Administrable team space and team billing: not yet. Today, sharing is project by project.
  • Company single sign-on (SSO): not yet.
  • End-to-end encryption: not yet.
  • Final Draft and Word exports: checked by our automated tests, not yet opened in Final Draft or Word themselves. Check them on your files during the pilot.
  • PDF import: not yet. Start from the Final Draft, Fountain or Word file.

The pilot

A real project, your team, a few weeks, and an honest review at the end.

  1. 01

    Choose

    A project in writing or in prep, and the people working on it.

  2. 02

    Invite

    Everyone creates an account; the owner invites the others with their permissions.

  3. 03

    Take stock

    What works, what is missing, and getting your data out if you stop.

Frequently asked questions

Can someone at DUKE read our scripts?

The software has no screen that allows it. But encryption is not end-to-end: the people who run the servers technically have access.

Are our texts used to train an AI?

Not at DUKE: no model is trained on your texts. The AI assistant is only called when you ask; the text concerned then goes to its provider, Anthropic.

Can we bring in our existing scripts?

Yes, from Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain, Word (.docx) or text. Not from a PDF.

What if we stop?

Export your projects (one .zip per project, or all at once), then delete the account from “My account”.

How do we report a security issue?

Write to bonjour@duke.fr with “Security” as the subject, without attaching any script.
