Video Hook Analyzer
Paste your hook (or a video URL) and get an AI hook-strength score plus a stronger rewritten hook.
Provide at least a URL OR a hook/caption.
The first 1-3 seconds decide whether a short-form video lives or dies: if the hook does not stop the scroll, retention, shares and everything downstream never happen. This free hook analyzer scores your hook's strength, explains why it works or fails (curiosity gap, direct value, pattern interrupt, stakes), and rewrites it into a stronger version you can use immediately.
You can paste just the hook text (the first spoken line or on-screen text), a full caption, or a TikTok or Reel URL. The analyzer also scores retention, shareability and trend fit, so you see whether a weak hook is the real bottleneck or whether the problem is elsewhere in the video.
What makes a strong video hook?+
Strong hooks open a curiosity gap, promise concrete value, interrupt a pattern, or raise stakes within the first 1-3 seconds. The analyzer detects which mechanism your hook uses and whether it lands fast enough.
Does it rewrite my hook?+
Yes. When your hook scores low, the analyzer proposes a rewritten version that keeps your topic but strengthens the mechanism (curiosity, value, stakes) so the first seconds hold.
Can I test a hook before shooting the video?+
Yes. Paste the planned first line as text, no URL needed. This is the cheapest possible iteration loop: fix the hook before production, not after the video flops.
Does it work for TikTok and Instagram Reels?+
Yes, the hook mechanics are the same on both platforms. The analyzer also accounts for the niche's current trends when scoring trend fit.
Is the hook analyzer free?+
Yes, free and no signup. To see which hooks are going viral across your whole niche every day, with ready-to-use content briefs, try Viral Manager free for 7 days.
