Virgil
Virgil is writing software for screenwriters, novelists, and other professional storytellers. It supports screenplays, TV scripts, novels, books, podcasts, treatments, pitch decks, and coverage passes. Its workspace includes outlining, scene drafting and revision, screenplay formatting, script coverage, and an autonomous agent mode. Virgil can also turn ideas into storyboards, images, and video; its video studio is labeled beta. Available AI models come from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, and open-model providers, including Fable 5, GPT-5.6 Sol, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Grok 4.5, DeepSeek V4 Pro, and Kimi K3. Projects sync to the cloud so drafts and visuals are available on desktop or on the go. It runs on macOS, Windows, and the web, and exports to PDF, Final Draft, and other industry-standard formats. Starter costs $5 a month with $5 in AI usage included each paid month; Pro costs $20 a month with $20 included, and Studio costs $50 a month with $50 included. The card-backed trial ends after 14 days or $20 of AI usage, whichever comes first.
