What's inside
Everything a Shorts storyteller needs
Beat-timed scripts
Every line is timed to your speaking speed, so a 45-second script is actually 45 seconds.
Short Check
Speech onset, silences, pacing, loudness, safe zones and the loop seam, measured before you publish.
Originality Guard
Warns when a script is too close to one you've made, so your channel doesn't look templated.
Retention mapping
Connect YouTube and see where viewers left, matched to the exact line you said at that second.
Your own playbook
Which hooks and lengths work on your channel, compared with your own median, not someone else's.

FAQ
Questions creators ask
What is Script AI?
+
Script AI is an AI script writer and hook generator for YouTube Shorts. From one idea it writes five scroll-stopping hooks and a beat-timed voiceover script, then checks your finished Short before you post. It works in the browser and on Android, in 30+ languages.
Is there a free AI script generator for YouTube Shorts?
+
Yes. Script AI is free to start, with no card: you get hook sets, scripts and a Short Check to try. The hook generator on this page works without signing up.
How do I write a script for a YouTube Short?
+
Open with a hook you can say in about three seconds, keep the setup under a fifth of the runtime, add something new every 5 to 8 seconds, land a fair twist, and end on a line that loops back to the start. Script AI builds this structure for you.
How long should a YouTube Shorts script be?
+
Most story Shorts work at 30 to 45 seconds, which is about 75 to 110 words in English at a natural speaking pace. Script AI times every line to your own pace, in any language.
What makes a good hook for a YouTube Short?
+
A good hook is one concrete, surprising line you can say in about three seconds, around eight words: a question, a contradiction or an unfinished sentence. It makes a promise the rest of the Short keeps.
Which languages does it write in?
+
More than 30: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Turkish, Arabic, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Hindi, Hinglish, Urdu, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia and Assamese.
Can I use it for TikTok and Instagram Reels scripts?
+
Yes. Reels and TikToks use the same vertical, hook-first format as YouTube Shorts, so the hooks and timed scripts work on all three.
Can I make faceless YouTube Shorts with it?
+
Yes. The scripts are written as voiceovers, so they suit faceless channels: story, horror, facts and kids' animation Shorts. The Originality Guard helps keep a faceless channel from looking templated.
Can it write horror, moral, comedy and cartoon story scripts?
+
Yes. Pick a category and it writes for that style: horror and mystery, moral stories, comedy, animated kids' stories, mythology, motivation and true-story style Shorts.
Will my scripts copy other creators?
+
No. Scripts are written fresh from your idea, and the Originality Guard warns you when a new script is too close to one you've already made.
Do I need a YouTube channel to use it?
+
No. Hooks, scripts and the Short Check work on their own. Connecting a channel is optional and read-only, and unlocks results.
Is it on Android?
+
Yes. Script AI is on Google Play, and the same account also works in the web app on your phone or computer.
Your next Short deserves a better first three seconds.
