Example prompts
Scheduling AI Dude works within your current Stripboard — it moves and reorders existing scenes. Describe what you want in plain language:
Reorder scenes within a day
"Sort today's scenes by location."
"Place all apartment interiors first."
Move scenes between days
"Move every night exterior to the last shooting day."
"Put all studio scenes on the same shooting day."
Restructure the board
"Group scenes by location to reduce company moves."
"Balance the schedule evenly across shooting days."
Check before you change anything
"Are any days overloaded with long scenes?"
"Do we have cast conflicts this week?"
For the full prompt library with example results, see Reorganize your schedule with AI Dude.
