We're bringing the Industry directly into GEM.

What's new: in-app industry accounts, end-to-end privacy, Selznick 3.8 with the GEM Score back, enhanced privacy controls, and branded PDF downloads.

Today we're shipping a whole new set of changes that mark the future of GEM. We're bringing the industry directly into the app — and much more. Here's what's new.

1. Industry partners are now in the app

The biggest change. We're expanding the industry pilot — and producers, agents, and managers now have real in-app accounts. They log in, filter the matched feed by their lane, and reach out to writers directly through GEM.

  • Vetted, invite-only. Every industry account goes through a personal vet. Real people, real scouts, real reads.
  • Direct contact. When something fits their slate, they email you through GEM. Their identity is revealed in your inbox; their reply-to is their actual address.
  • Live engagement counts on your dashboard. Views, interested, passed — see what's happening on your scripts in real time.

Series · 1 hr drama · By you

Real buttons in the producer's app. One tap = you hear from them.

Send intro to the writer

Add a short note (optional). We'll send your intro by email — the writer can hit Reply to land in your inbox directly.

Loved the Tony voice and the family/crew triangulation — exactly the lane I'm scouting this quarter. Free for fifteen minutes this week?

2. End-to-end privacy by default

The other paradigm shift. The public Discover page is gone. Scripts are no longer browsable by strangers.

  • Your report URL is private to you to share. Send it to anyone you want — agents, producers in your network, your writing group. Only people with the link see your report.
  • Industry visibility is opt-in and Pro-only. Free reads stay private end-to-end. Pro publishes you to the matched feed.
  • Your contact info isn't exposed. Industry partners never get your email or phone. To start a conversation, they have to send a note through GEM. Once you reply, they have your email — and you take it from there.

3. Selznick 3.8 — an entirely new evaluation model

Selznick 3.8 is a brand-new evaluation engine. Every script on GEM has been rescored overnight. Reports are restructured to read more like the one-pager a producer would actually write before walking into a development meeting.

  • Sharpened headline — the pitch line for your script.
  • Why this is a hit — the strongest commercial notes.
  • Cast — lead profiles with the actor archetypes.
  • Packaging — audience, budget tier, buyer fit.
  • Project Complexity — production reality and cast lift.
  • Development considerations — the case against, with the sharpest lever called out.
  • GEM Score on the cover — back by popular demand. One signal a producer scans first; the substance is the read underneath.

If you previously edited your headline, your edit is preserved. The rescore only updates the underlying read.

Production

Smooth

Cast

Manageable

Development considerations

01

Tighten the second-act midpoint

The sharpest lever — Tony's first crisis lands at p52, ten pages later than it should.

02

Clarify Carmela's arc in the back half

Strong setup, less defined turn. A scene-level pass does it.

03

Trim the FBI subplot by ~6 pages

Pulls focus from the family/crew triangulation that's actually working.

You stay in control of every piece. Show or hide the score, hide individual sections, take the post down anytime — present whatever version of your work you want to industry. More on that in Section 4 below.

4. Enhanced privacy controls

  • Per-section privacy. Show or hide each section of your report individually — Why this is a hit, Cast, Packaging, Project Complexity, Development considerations. Industry partners only see what you choose.
  • Score-eye toggle. One tap to hide just the GEM Score from industry while keeping the rest visible.
  • One-click unpublish. Take your post off the matched feed at any time. Your report URL still works for anyone you've shared it with.

Why this is a hit Visible
Cast Visible
Packaging Visible
Project Complexity Hidden
Development considerations Hidden

Tap any pill to flip a section. Industry partners only see Visible.

5. Enhanced downloads

Your full report is now downloadable as a clean, branded PDF — every section of the read in one document you can email, print, or attach to a submission.

  • Branded PDF. GEM cover page, headline, full report layout, your name, your script title.
  • Section toggles. Pick which sections to include in the download — same per-section privacy as the live report.
  • Reflects your current edits. If you've sharpened your headline, the download uses the edited version.

Coming next. More vetted industry partners. Tighter matching as we learn from the first weeks of intros. Better signals for writers about what's moving the needle on their lane.
