🧪 Example
You send: "Hooks for a 30s TikTok about why most people quit the gym in January — energetic, for beginners."
You get back (shortened):
- Positioning: "The gym isn't the problem — your first week is." You own the beginner-who-keeps-quitting angle.
- Hooks (5+, each with spoken line + on-screen text + type):
- Contrarian — 🗣 "Stop going to the gym every day." / 🖥 "Day 1 is where you quit"
- Question — 🗣 "Why does everyone quit by January 20th?" / 🖥 "The January 20th wall"
- Mistake — 🗣 "You're not lazy. You're doing week one wrong." / 🖥 "Week 1 mistake"
- Recommended pick: #3, with one line on why it fits a beginner audience.
- Script: 0–3s hook · 3–10s the mistake · 10–22s the fix in 3 steps · 22–30s CTA.
- Caption: short caption + CTA + hashtags, plus one filming tip.
❓ FAQ
What should I send? A topic, product, trend, or niche, plus the platform (TikTok / Reels / Shorts) and the video length if you know it.
Does it watch my videos or log in to my accounts? No. It works only from the text you send. It does not post, read analytics, or connect to any platform.
How many hooks do I get? At least 5 per request, in different hook types so you can A/B test them.
Can I ask for changes? Yes — reply in the same chat (e.g. "make #2 funnier", "shorter script") and it revises.
Which plan should I pick? Day for a one-off batch, week for a filming sprint, month or year if you post every week.
