Revolutionizing Filmmaking: Japan's First AI-Powered Script SaaS Launch

47inc. Launches Japan's First AI-Powered Script SaaS

In a groundbreaking move for the film industry, 47inc., based in Setagaya, Tokyo, has announced the launch of their new service, "Kyakuhon Pakkun," scheduled to begin on June 1, 2026. As the first SaaS in Japan equipped with AI functionalities for script breakdowns, this platform aims to enhance operational efficiency in video production.

With Kyakuhon Pakkun, users can simply upload a script, and the system's powerful AI will automatically analyze scene details and generate essential documents such as call sheets and PPM (Production Project Management) materials. This functionality addresses the repetitive and time-consuming tasks traditionally faced by film crews and production staff.

Streamlining the Pre-Production Process

Creating a call sheet is a necessary step before filming in any audiovisual project, particularly in advertising and commercials where PPM documents are also crucial. Historically, these tasks have required manual labor, including late-night work to write script details onto call sheets line by line, followed by transferring the same information onto PPM documents.

As digital innovation and AI technologies advance rapidly, many sectors have benefitted from these enhancements, but the production management of filmmaking has lagged behind. The developers of Kyakuhon Pakkun recognized this persistent issue, having experienced the difficulties of manual processes firsthand on set.

As a result, they successfully created a tool that significantly reduces production time and effort by leveraging AI technology.

Key Features of Kyakuhon Pakkun

The platform is designed with various features that transform the script-to-screen workflow:

- Script Importing: Users can upload their scripts, from which the AI automatically extracts scenes, locations, casts, and props, generating a scene list and a detailed artistic call sheet.
- Call Sheet Generation: Based on the scene list, the AI generates a shooting schedule, making it easier for production staff to organize their work.
- PPM Document Generation: With just a click, users can export PPM slides directly from the call sheet, saving time on documentation.
- Management of Costumes and Props: The system allows for centralized management of costume images, props, and actor information for each character.

To give potential users a taste of the service's capabilities, a 30-second introductory video is available online, showcasing how Kyakuhon Pakkun operates in real-time.
