### [13:20-13:50] Live Q&A (30 min)

**Moderation:**
- Founder/CMO monitors chat
- Upvote popular questions
- Group similar questions together
- Be honest about limitations

**Prepared Q&A (seed if chat is slow):**

**Q: "Can I import from Final Draft?"**
A: "Yes! We support Final Draft XML and Fountain import. Direct .fdx is on the roadmap. Most users export to PDF or XML from Final Draft and we handle that perfectly."

**Q: "How's offline mode?"**
A: "Desktop apps work fully offline. Your writing is saved locally. When you're back online, it syncs to the cloud. No interruptions to your flow."

**Q: "What about mobile apps?"**
A: "Our web app is a PWA and works great on mobile browsers. Native iOS/Android apps are in development. What features would you prioritize for mobile?"

**Q: "Is the AI worth it?"**
A: "Try it free and judge for yourself. For us, AI isn't a chatbot - it's built into your writing flow. Hit a button, get scene suggestions, character analysis, formatting fixes. It's like a writing partner, not a replacement."

**Q: "How do you compare to WriterDuet?"**
A: "Faster (Tauri vs Electron), cheaper ($7.99 vs $11.99 for Pro), more features (AI, unlimited projects on free tier). We're not perfect, but we're pushing the industry forward."

**Q: "What's your roadmap?"**
A: "Great question! Next up: mobile apps, direct WriterDuet import, more AI features (dialogue polish, tone suggestions), API for integrations. What should we prioritize?"

### [13:50-14:00] Exclusive Reveal + Close (10 min)

**Discount Code Reveal:**
"Alright, before we wrap up - we have an exclusive discount for our Discord community.

That's $7.99/mo → $6.39/mo, or $10.99/mo → $8.79/mo.
