How it works
Choose from 98 broadcaster format profiles — BBC Storyville, PBS Independent Lens, Channel 4 Cutting Edge, ZDF 37 Grad, NHK, the rest. Or go format-free and get slot recommendations at the end.
Your film idea, angle, and any existing access. One paragraph is enough. If the topic is too thin, the coach tells you before you spend twelve minutes on it.
Ten specialized stages research, develop, verify, and write a format-compliant exposé in about twelve minutes. Researched and fact-checked with source citations. Export PDF or DOCX. Send it.
17 years of commissioning editorial experience, encoded into 98 broadcaster format profiles and enforced by ten specialized pipeline stages.
98 broadcaster profiles with exact editorial expectations. tone, structure, length, what fits, what doesn't. Real commissioning editor knowledge, not generic AI training data.
Every claim tagged as verified, probable, or needs-checking. 2-source rule enforced. No invented people, dates, or quotes. The pipeline refuses to guess.
In format-bound mode, every agent works within the broadcaster's editorial guidelines. Your exposé matches what the commissioning desk expects. not what a generic template produces.
The Pitch Doctor delivers research, structure, and a first draft. You bring the creative vision. The exposé is yours. We just gave you 3 days back.
Each with exact format expectations. Your exposé is formatted how the commissioning desk wants to read it.
“85% of your pitching work is unpaid. The Pitch Doctor gives that time back to the work that matters — making films.”
The Pitch Doctor is an AI-powered exposé generator for documentary producers. It takes a topic idea and runs it through a 10-stage pipeline (Planner, Researcher, Fact-Checker, Story-Finder, Protagonist-Finder, Plausibility-Checker, Expert-Scout, Dramaturg, Composer, Critic) to produce a broadcast-ready pitch document in approximately 12 minutes.
The Pitch Doctor includes 98 international broadcaster format profiles covering ARTE, BBC, PBS, Netflix, ZDF, HBO, NatGeo, Discovery, CNN, ESPN, and 88 more. Each profile contains the broadcaster's exact editorial expectations: tone, structure, length, target audience, and what they explicitly do not want.
Every claim in the generated exposé is tagged as [CONFIRMED] (cross-referenced against at least two independent sources) or [TO VERIFY] (couldn't be grounded strongly enough. do your own check). The Fact-Checker agent runs before the Story-Finder to prevent narratives built on unverified research. The 2-source rule is strict: a single source is never enough to reach [CONFIRMED].
In Free mode, The Pitch Doctor generates an open exposé and recommends suitable broadcasters at the end. In Format-Bound mode, you select a specific broadcaster (e.g., BBC Storyville, ZDF 37 Grad, PBS Frontline) and the Format Knowledge Base profile is injected into every agent, ensuring the output matches that broadcaster's exact editorial expectations.
Free: €0/month for 2 exposés. Producer: €990/month for 10 exposés. Studio: €1,490/month for unlimited exposés. For comparison, a freelance researcher costs approximately €960 for 3 days on a single pitch — The Pitch Doctor generates 10 format-compliant exposés for roughly the same price.
The Pitch Doctor runs a full native pipeline in both German and English — not a translation. All 98 broadcaster profiles exist in both languages, and every pipeline stage has native prompts in each. DACH visitors default to German, everyone else to English. Beta members default to English regardless of region. Override in Account → Preferences at any time. French is on the roadmap for a later release.
