## What Genie is

**Genie** is Offbook's built-in acting expert and script analyst. It reads your uploaded script and answers questions about it: character motivation, beat breakdowns, subtext, pronunciation, historical context, whatever helps your prep.

When your script is processed, Genie automatically prepares a **title and summary** for the scene, plus **suggested questions** an actor might ask about it, a good starting point if you're not sure what to dig into.

## Referencing lines and words

- **Click any line** in the script to reference it in your next message ("what's my character really saying here?").
- **Hover a word** to look it up instantly, which is handy for unfamiliar terms and names.

## Chat styles

Change Genie's perspective to fit the kind of feedback you want: **Director's Chair**, **Acting Coach**, **Script Analyst**, **Inner Voice**, **Cheerleader**, **Critic**, **Improv Buddy**, or write your own custom instructions.

## Script breakdowns (Pro & Premium)

On Pro and Premium you can upload a **writer's breakdown** or other production notes alongside your script, giving Genie deeper context for its answers.

## Is Genie unlimited?

Yes. Genie is **unlimited on every plan**. There is no monthly message limit and nothing to track, so ask as many questions as you like.
