Working with Nisaba

Meet your AI writing partner — who she is, how to talk to her, and everything she can do to help you finish your screenplay.

Nisaba is the AI collaborator who lives inside Nabu. Think of her as a writing partner, a mentor, and a sounding board rolled into one. She does the heavy lifting of craft — drafting scenes, revising prose, keeping track of your characters and continuity, and reading your script like a development executive when you ask — while you steer the creative vision. You tell her the feelings, themes, and moments you want; she helps turn them into a screenplay.

She shows up wherever you're working: as a chat panel on the side of the screen on a laptop or desktop, and as a floating button on your phone. You can ask her a question, ask her to write something, or just think out loud — she reacts before she asks, and she matches your energy, so a quick note gets a quick reply.

This section covers who Nisaba is, how to chat with her, the guided wizard that turns a raw idea into a full screenplay, and the full range of what she can do for you.

In this section

  • Meet Nisaba — Who she is, what she will and won't do, and the one rule that keeps your script safe: she never changes your existing work without asking.
  • Chatting with Nisaba — How to find and use the chat panel on desktop and the floating chat button on your phone, and what to expect when you talk to her.
  • The wizard — The guided start-a-script flow that walks you from a spark of an idea, through a logline, synopsis, and treatment, all the way to a draft of your scenes.
  • What Nisaba can do — A plain-language tour of her capabilities: drafting and revising scenes, answering questions about your story, watching your continuity, and more.

Tip: Nisaba never makes you learn commands or jargon. Just write to her the way you'd write to a collaborator — "I want this scene to feel more tense," or "who has my detective talked to so far?" — and she'll take it from there.

A few things worth knowing up front

  • She asks before she changes anything you've already written. Creating something new for you — a fresh scene, a new character — is always fine. But touching a scene, treatment, or character that already exists? She'll propose the change and let you decide. You can read more about this in Meet Nisaba.
  • She adapts to your story. Once you pick a genre, Nisaba's voice and the things she pays attention to shift to match it — a thriller and a tender drama get different instincts. There's no switch to flip; it happens on its own.
  • Some heavier work costs credits. Chatting and asking questions are cheap; drafting scenes and running deeper analysis use more. Costs are always approximate and the app shows you what's happening.

Costs credits: Asking Nisaba to draft or revise scenes, or to run a full read of your script, uses credits. Chatting and asking questions stay cheap. Your current balance and what each action costs are always shown in the app. (See Credits explained.)
